Description:
This is first time I used UE5 and it took some time to figure out lumen, but overall I’m happy how everything turned out. Since I expect most of the work I see in UE5 is photorealistic, I decided to take another direction and mix both realistic and stylized effects/lighting/textures and achieve original “anime feel”. Most of the models are made from scratch in Blender (Buildings, Environment elements), also hand painted a lot of textures to resemble original background images. I used a lot of megascans textures and also few decals/models to populate the scenes.
Main inspiration was Anime Architecture Book and Ghost in the Shell chase scene. I also tried to stick as close to original reference as possible. Feedback will be highly appreciated! Hope you like it
