Winter Forest - Unreal Engine Animation
🕑 Added 2022-01-09 19:52:22 +0000 UTCI've made an animation with this month's Winter Forest freebie from the Unreal Marketplace. I hadn't used Unreal Engine in over a year and wanted to know how much I'd remember, and practice the new way of rendering out animations with the new Movie Render Queue.
Thankfully it worked out well enough for this to come out. My vision was to make a pan through the landscape, and render at a higher frame rate to slow down time dramatically, like the Apple TV screensavers do with their drone and underwater footage.
I rendered this at 4K UHD in Unreal Engine 4.27 at 240fps, then played it back at 60. It takes about 1 second for 2-3 frames, which generates a 10MB PNG per image. I've used the anti-aliasing and deferred rendering nodes to increase the quality, and it seems to work great.
