Greetings, @Mr_Daz; I hope you’re doing well! Thank you for sharing your Everlight Cinematic, environment, and metahuman with us in the forums! These screenshots look phenomenal! :star_struck:

@Zezkaii Thank you very much! Happy you like it. I am currently adding some features and working on Niagara Particle FX for on the shot. Will be posting updates and final scene soon :slight_smile:

The pleasure is all mine, and take all the time you need. I’m sure your final render will definitely be worth the wait! If you don’t mind me asking, how long have you worked on this creation? Given the sheer quality present within your screenshots, I imagine it’s been quite some time. :eyes:

@Zezkaii Thank you, will do :slight_smile:
I have spent around 80 hours so far on the scene. This time is considering the modelling of the headset, modelling of the alien environmental elements and texturing in substance. I recon that I will be done in another 20 hours? I hope this helps!

WOW! I could quickly tell you have put a lot of time and effort into this creation, but 80 hours is double what I had envisioned. :astonished:

May I ask, is this a personal project or a part of a greater collaborative effort?

So otherworldly but familiar. The lit up trees are also kind of pretty :smiley: Stoked to see the cinematic!

@Zezkaii thank you so much! Concept art and modelling are quite demanding in terms of time and effort, but I am always happy to work on personal pieces. This is a solo developer project, the initial cinematic scene will be fully released in May 2023. But I will be posting updates and tests here to have feedback and help form the community :slight_smile:

Hold the phone! :calling: Is this a character selection scene, or can we expect the boss battle to begin any second? :laughing:

All jokes aside, this teaser cinematic is incredible! The animation is smooth, the lighting and shadow work is phenomenal, and most importantly, the audio/background music steals the show! I’m always surprised by how easy it is for me to get lost in a trance of amazement when seeing how wonderful everyone’s creative touch is when it comes to developing. More simply, I am blown away by your teaser. :star_struck:
