Environmental Storytelling, Learning Unreal Engine & UE5’s Niagra System & Gaea
“Ruins on the Cliff” was an Unreal Engine 5 Environment done while participating at Salzburg University of Applied Sciences’ Animation Program. It was created as part of the Interactive Authoring course. We were tasked with making a simple camera animation through an environment of our own making. We were allowed to use Quixel’s Megascans, and any free assets we needed for the project.

I chose to go for a Nordic/Scandinavian inspired environment, with ruins and magical forest at the side of a cliff. All Assets used are UE5s free library assets as well as Quixel’s Megascans. The Niagra system was set up me as well as the mountains in the distance, with help of the free version of Gaea.

Make Up:

  • The Environment was set up in UE5.
  • The Niagra system was made by me.
  • Gaea was used for the mountains in the distance.
  • All assets used are free assets or Quixel Megascans.
  • The scene was rendered into EXR format and post produced in After effects/Premiere Pro and Photoshop.
