Hi All UE5 Fan:
I find inspiration in the ancient wisdom of Lao Tze’s ‘Tao Te Ching,’ a book that explores our connection with nature and the purpose of our existence. These fundamental questions are at the heart of ‘Odyssey,’ a short film that delves into the enigmas of the universe and seeks answers to life’s profound mysteries. Hope you like it.

Hi there @Mark_Chua11,
Hope you’re well and having a great week so far!
I have to say this character design reminds me quite a bit of Warframe characters. In the coolest way, of course! It looks fantastic. It also has a good bit of thought-provoking dialogue. Wonderfully done!
Thank you for sharing

Hey there @Mark_Chua11 !
I absolutely adore this very brief animation! I absolutely adore the way that most spacey stories can be twisted and turned into beautiful things!
How long did this take to create? I’m really impressed by the fluidity of motion!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Creating this short film was a wonderful journey. It took approximately a month to craft the story and an additional three weeks to bring it to life using Unreal Engine. I’m delighted that you think the animation has a fluidity of motion. Your support means a lot to me, and I’m grateful that you liked the story! 
Cheers!

Hey @Mark_Chua11!
That’s astonishing! With the animations and structure of it all I’m amazed that the Unreal Engine part took only three weeks. Keep up the amazing work because I know I’d love to see more content with your creativity!

Thank you for your encouragement. Most of the VFX assets are straight from the Unreal Marketplace, which saves me a lot of time.
