Development Pipeline
Challenge
Even though having been working with Unreal Engine for many projects, this was the first time I used Level Sequence and collaborated with 3D artist as a developer. To complete a cinematic game scene, we needed to spend lots of time discussing the narrative elements in game and the storyboard.
My partners came up with a well-designed storyboard and I undertook the filming work in Unreal Engine. Animating, camera setting and lighting were the main focus during this process.
