Greetings @Punchbuggy !

LOL @ punchbuggy! :joy: It reminds me of family trips where playing punch buggy sometimes escalated into hilarious arguments.

Anyhow, welcome to the Unreal Engine community! :medal_sports:

This was a lovely show of light! There’s the lights from the city in the background, the reflection of light from the bus window, the light coming from the off-screen street lamps, the interior bus light, the changing light from the headphones, and the changing light from the device the metahuman is watching. There’s so much going on and you’ve made it blend so smoothly and naturally! Great job!

What was the most challenging part of your project? What was the most fun?

Thanks, glad I managed to get the time to complete an entry.

I think the most challenging thing was probably finding the right combination of settings and console overrides to get everything mostly working while still looking through glass.

Where as the most fun would have to be how quickly things can start to come together right in front of your eyes. I didn’t have a lot of time to actually work on this entry so it’s super satisfying when you can add just one little thing, do an animation over a few frames and set it to loop to infinity. You find it can very quickly add extra layers like you pointed out while still keeping the scene feel alive and dynamic.
