15-second short made in Unreal Engine for Epic Games’ Summer of Unreal 2022

For this piece I modeled the scooter, the characters and the cat, and animated them in Blender. Then I exported them into Unreal Engine as FBX sequences and used UE’s animation tools to integrate them seamlessly into the scene. The dust from the scooter was made using Niagara, Unreal Engine’s particle system.

This short was inspired by Miyazaki films and the spirit of friendship.

Summer of Unreal 2022 was a training for established 3D professionals to integrate Unreal Engine into their workflows, culminating in a 15 second short.
