Kitteh Moon Cinematic

Here’s a personal project I’m finishing up. I wanted to make it fun and cozy and wanted to do more expolration with Lumen, Nanite, and Megalights.

And if you want a breakdown of some of the shader/blueprint tech I used to keep my total texture memory usage down to about 100mb for the whole level and using the same material with no mat instances for 99% of the assets, I also go over that on my Artstation: https://tadehrlich.artstation.com/

Hope you enjoy the vid! :slight_smile:

Hello @CTENoLonger !

Firstly, can I move into Kitteh Moon? Such a cozy and cute space I am so jealous of our feline friends!! Additionally, I wanted to praise you for the variety that we see in activities as well as textures on the cat. It really feels like a lovely little community where there’s always something going on.

If I may ask, how long did this take to complete?

The entire project took about 5 months on and off outside of my regular job :disappointed_face: the individual assets weren’t particularly time consuming but I really wanted to make the world feel super dense so there’s just a lot of them.

I’m glad you enjoyed watching it! :heart:

Hello again @CTENoLonger !

5 months is quite a bit of time, but I’m glad you took the time you needed to make such a lovely piece. I know projects taking a little longer than you liked can feel a little rough, but I think the time you took to make this scene how you liked really shows and adds so much personality!

Do you have any future projects planned like this one or new ones we can’t know about yet? :face_with_peeking_eye:

Thanks! Always nice to hear when someone enjoys what you’ve made :smiling_face:

I’m gonna take a break for a bit and then definitely start on something new. Not really sure if I wanna go realistic or stylized again. Just figure it out when I get there hehe.

Hey there @CTENoLonger,

Hope you’re well and having a great week so far :slight_smile:

Just wanted to pop in and say this entire cinematic is just adorable. It looks like a game that I’d obsess over for months. Especially the garden/orchard elements. Do you currently plan to create a game based off this? :smiley:

Aw thanks for the kind words @PresumptivePanda :sparkling_heart:

I don’t currently have any plans to progress it any further than just this cinematic, but I did make it with real time performance in mind so you never know!

Oooh, if you end up deciding to make it a full fledged game - be sure to throw me an @. I’d love to see it :smiley:
