About

Unreal scene building

The man in the middle directs a group of blue whales to parade in the sky, and the background is mainly based on the dreamy sky city. The material is snow and some fog and white clouds are added to create the icy atmosphere of the scene. The man's animation uses motion capture and is brought into Unreal Engine to adjust the movements.

The blue whale was chosen because the blue whale is a large species of whale and will be shocking when it appears in the scene. When painting the texture, I added some scratches and mottled textures to make the whale look more realistic.

Create a dreamy sky city with Disney Castle as a reference. The material gives the castle a sense of age but retains its dreamy elements, with pink-purple and metallic luster.

I sculpted the whale details in Blender, then rigged the model and created a simple looping animation before importing it into UE5. The character animation was produced using motion capture data.
