STICS, a 3D animated short film

Spotted at Epic, STICS is a awesome 3D animated short film made by Hanway Lin, Derek Ho and Khang Nguyen 😀

STICS is a story about a space explorer and his robot companion searching for paradise on an unknown planet. Along their journey they leave behind beacons in the form of sticks, so their crew back at the ship may follow them once paradise is found.

Megascans jungle by Quixel Suite

What can I say more than………………….. WOW !!! 😀 What can be done with Quixel Suite is simply astonishing. Combine with the UE4 capabilities, it can’t be better than this ! It is 100% created with Megascans service. Megascans service is a massive online library of thousands of physically based material scans and fully scanned 3D assets. For more information about Megascans service go here. Note that the uncompressed, truly amazing video can be download from here 🙂

Real life versus real time

A ‘real life’ versus ‘real time’ video of the lobby at Barratt London’s “The Courthouse” on Horseferry road, London using UE4 real time technology. It’s uncanny how similar the virtual footage is to a video of the lobby in real life !

The interior fit-out was done by Conran and Partners. For more about their real-time capabilities visit their website. The music track is Hollow Gold by Podington Bear.
