'The Wizard' - Unreal Engine 5.3
'The Wizard' marks the 50th video on my youtube channel and I am very happy with the way this one turned out. There is only so much free time I have on my hands next to an almost full time 'unreal' working schedule, so there comes a point where there is SO much I want to try out I just have to start packing it together.
'The Wizard' combines Fluid Flux, Megascans, Procedural Content Generation (PCG), the Kitbash3D 'Enchanted' kit, Metahuman Animator and Heterogeneous Volumes.
I had so much fun working on this, accompanied by the usual frustrations of rendering and realising how much time it takes to make something like this. I hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you are most looking forward to to try out next in Unreal Engine 5!

I made a special material for the crystal ball, working with different fresnel masks and a swirling cloud texture within.
