Greetings @Mhdpnb !

Welcome to the Unreal Engine community! :medal_sports:

Congratulations on completing your first ever VFX challenge! The lighting and atmosphere for The Ritual is really creepy. It looks like Graystone has found himself unfortunately defeated by Sevarog - a masterful lich set upon capturing souls to increase his power.

The opening scene set the mood properly, as if this is the final boss in an epic game - or the cutscene after a player looses a battle with the lich.

The visual effect of the soul capture was so gnarly! Amazing work! If you could choose two things that you have learned from participating in this challenge, what would they be?

Hi @Get_DOVAH_it , thank you for the kind words!
I got to use FK ControlRig and Master Sequencer for the first time, also Niagara Fluids for brazier fire. Hopefully more complex sims next time!

Hi there @Mhdpnb,

Hope you’re well!

This would be such an interesting boss fight intro cinematic. The coloring and magic effects add a bit of mystical energy. Just a super impressive project!

Thanks for sharing and good luck with the challenge! :slight_smile:
