“Egypt Renaissance” is a cinematic short film that reimagines the rebirth of ancient Egypt around a forgotten oasis.

As we approach the statue of Egypt Renaissance, a portal opens— revealing the glory of temples, statues, and life once thriving under desert skies.

Crafted using Unreal Engine, 3ds Max, ZBrush, Substance Painter and DaVinci Resolve, this film blends: Cinematography, Environmental storytelling, Cinematic lighting and Architectural visualization to portray a journey between two timelines: the ruins of the present, and the majesty of the past.

The Egypt Renaissance statue was modeled in 3ds Max & ZBrush, and textured in Substance Painter.
