Second challenge of the month—done and dusted!

I wasn’t sure I’d have enough time to complete it after finishing the Virtual Production Insider film challenge, but with a few early mornings and late nights, I managed to pull it together just in time. Now… time for a short rest from my Pwnisher Rampage Rally submission, Unarmed and Dangerous.

If you haven’t seen it yet, check out The Door short film on my channel—it’s a must-watch.

Unreal Engine is a game changer for me. Before Unreal Engine it was a constant struggle to find effective ways to visualise what I saw in my minds eye that didn’t require hours of rendering and technical fiddling.

If you haven’t seen the 360 video I made in Unreal on my YT channel, make sure to have a look.

Completed the render today and man did I underestimate how long it needed. Excited to release it tomorrow on my YT channel youtube.com/

Is virtual production as an indie developer possible, or just a pipe dream for countries with bigger budgets? Nope, it’s a reality. I know because I’ve done it. And not just indie productions. But first, back story. I’ve lit up shows like Big Brother South Africa, Family Feud SA, and Miss SA, ...

I am thrilled to have participated and contributed to the challenge initiated by Pwnisher with the Eternal Ascent challenge. As a long-time observer, becoming a first-time participant has been a personal goal of mine for quite some time.

Since the Rokoko Intergalactic TV challenge, I've been pushing myself to elevate my skills! When you see the quality others are producing, it's a motivator to step up your game!

This render is a testament to the power of determination. I'm proud of the growth I've achieved since the last challenge.

Enjoy witnessing the culmination of all the hard work, condensed into 5 glorious seconds.

Behind the scenes for my submission of the Rokoko Intergalactic TV challenge. This pretty much documents my journey of learning Rokoko's motion capture solution, the workflow and applying it to my custom characters. (More or less 😛)
