I recently completed an exciting Motion Graphics animation project using Unreal Engine 5 to showcase its potential as a powerful Motion Graphics tool. The animation was created using Lumen and Nanite, and is capable of running in real-time on 4K displays.
Creative Process
I used Cinema4D to create 3D icons that I then incorporated into the animation and animated using the timeline animation tools inside Unreal Engine. Additionally, I utilized the Megascans Library to incorporate rock models and foliage, enhancing the visual impact of the animation.
Rendering & Animation Tools
I used Unreal Engine's powerful Movie Render Tools to render the animation into a high-quality video format, allowing me to export the final product in a range of formats and resolutions. The Timeline Animation Tools in Unreal Engine allowed me to animate objects and camera movements with precision, giving the final animation a smooth and professional feel.
Project Outcome
Overall, this project was an excellent showcase of the potential of Unreal Engine 5 as a Motion Graphics tool. The combination of Lumen and Nanite, together with the Megascans Library, allowed me to create a visually stunning animation that showcased my creativity and technical skills.
