A video of the unreal engine third person template project's main level, with a height field representation of the level geometry superimposed on it. I drag the actor with the height field up, in order to show both the source geometry and the generated displaced plane. Normals and dimensions match pretty accurately.
Screenshot of the unreal engine editor, with the third person template project level visible in the main viewport. The sidebar is visible on the right, slightly cropped, with the outliner and details panel both showing the selected niagara system sitting in the middle of the scene.
Top down view of a rain puddle, with silt and other debris floating in the water creating intricate and abstract shapes resembling meandering rivers in some parts, and sharp erosion induced runoff in others
Screenshot of the five earliest entries in my licenses and product key activations page on Steam. The list reads, from top to bottom: 18 Jul, 2013 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive 18 Jul, 2013 The Orange Box 12 May, 2013 Portal 2 - Sixense Motion Retail 10 May, 2012 Portal 2 28 Apr, 2011 Nvidia Portal: The First Slice
Photo of a large hardcover book. The front cover displays a large, highly detailed rendered image of a First Order Stormtrooper from the shoulders up. Half of it is rendered with detailed reflections and shadows, the other half fading to a wireframe view revealing the lattice of triangles and vertices making up the 3D model, offering a peek into the advanced real-time rendering technology used in the 2018 Star Wars short Reflections. Thr cover of the book reads: REAL-TIME RENDERING FOURTH EDITION Tomas Akenine-Möller Eric Haines Naty Hoffman Angelo Pesce Michał Iwanicki Sébastien Hillaire CRC Press Taylor & Francis Group AN A K PETERS BOOK
Video clip of Banishers Ghosts of New Eden. Antea can be seen in the foreground in a third person over shoulder perspective. She walks around a shimmering icy structure made from rounded off stalagmites that burst out of the ground. They emit a light fog. continuously flowing into the atmosphere. Towards the end, she gets close to the center of the structure, and as a button prompt appears, she wipes away the icicles in a swift arm movement, making them disappear in a flash of wispy blue matter that disappears in an instant, clearing the area.
Screen capture of the unreal engine 5 editor. The camera focuses and rotates around a small square of what appears to be a blocky mountain landscape. Over time, as we look at it from different angles, it gets smooth and erodes, with subtly visible movement of grainy matter constantly flowing from the peaks into the valleys.
Digital portrait of the character IX, pronounced Nine. Only the head is visible on an abstract purple background. They have flowing white hair, emphasized with scribble lines around it, and a half dark purple half white cat-eared hat with IX boldly written on it.
close up of a print, digital painting of Achilles the cat sitting in a chair with a comfortable scarf and a hot tea in a cup. The cat has glasses and seems content. The painting resembles watercolors in texture and shading.
screen capture of a simulation running on a two-dimensional grid. The grid starts with circular shapes. The small cells form glitchy textures first flowing inwards, then reacting seemingly randomly with large patches of darkness forming and disappearing rapidly
Demonstration of custom color mixing on a flat square surface with the blocky and grey starter environment from unreal engine as backdrop. The surface is divided in two horizontal parts. Both have a similar evolving swirl of blue and orange colors. The top version has the colors blending together linearly, creating a pale grayish purple color. The bottom version has the colors blending together with more physical accuracy, creating a more vivid green that turns to turquoise towards the end.
Rough drawing of an anthropomorphic cat carrying a jumbled mess of supplies around the shoulder and a giant ladle in both paws. The cat looks backwards towards the viewer, and spills something out of the ladle on the floor
Digital painting of a hollow translucent orb with big round eyes containing a red fluid sloshing around. The background is plain orange. The orb looks sideways.
An animated gif: a mosaic of short sequences showcasing various works in 3D animation and visual effects. There are 9 tiles in total. Top left: A pre-rendered animation of water flowing into a shallow basin, from a handheld point of view. Top middle: A panning, real-time rendered shot of a mountain landscape, from far away. The sun rises very rapidly past the horizon and into the sky, dragging the mountain's shadow across the valley. Top right: A pre-rendered animation of a machine consisting of an incoming conveyor belt, a yellow open container, a grabby arm and a filling nozzle. The yellow container is carried into the frame by the belt, filled up with green slime by the rotating nozzle, and carried away by the grabby arm in a rotating fashion. Middle left: A real-time shot of a wooden radio tower collapsing onto a nearby cliff across a narrow breach. Dust and debris fly everywhere, and the tower forms a new bridge across the hole. Center: A pre-rendered animation of dark purple slime being poured from out of frame onto a floating, featureless white orb. It looks suspiciously like the poster's profile picture. Middle right: A montage of gameplay shots of a game where a glowing ball is quickly rolling through a mostly featureless landscape of hills and valleys, narrow balancing passages and half-pipe like ramps. Bottom left: A brightly lit pre-rendered animation of colorful unmarked pills swirling, close-up. The pills are all capsule shaped, some pills emit light from their colored half. Bottom middle: A screen capture of a 3d viewport showing the process of generating a random procedural stone structure. There is a red mannequin for scale. Bottom right: A pre-rendered animation of an abstract looking quadruped creature walking around erratically in a white empty space.
Digital painting of a white orb covered by viscous, translucent purple matter in a way that resembles hair covering half the orb's face. One eye is uncovered, and closed. It is the only discernable facial feature on the orb. The background is a soft and uniform blue and turquoise gradient. Many visible brushstrokes define the gel-like substance's surface with reflections and specular highlights.
A work in progress title card for a game titled Charotte et le Potager Eternel. A small house is perched on top of a tall column-like rock formation resembling a carrot, surrounded by many more less detailed columns
