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.

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.
