World Suicide is a short film that started as an experiment and quickly became a full-on project. I've done a handful of short films throughout the years working in C4D, however this has been my first attempt working with Unreal Engine.

Update: The film is finished and can be viewed below :)

In the midst of production and trying to wrap things up, I wanted to get a teaser going to help things move along ------

Coming from C4D and Redshift, I wanted to see what UE5 had to offer as it was entirely new to me, so besides the learning curve, it's been a very good experience. The film won't be flawless as I still have quite a ways to go in understanding UE and all of its glory :) If things go according to plan, I hope to have this finished before winter.

This was a mixture of my own 3D models along with some Quixel assets that helped me create this desolate world.

In my quest for controversy ;) I wanted to do another piece in my "Alternate Universe" series with IG-88. All modeling done in C4D Shaders in Substance Painter and final comp/post in Photoshop.

This was a piece I did last year. CGSociety did a small piece on it as well, but wanted to share it (yes, I know Xmas has passed). This was modeled in C4D with FX work in FumeFX and 3DS Max, comp in AE.

IG-88 has been a small obsession of mine, and probably due to the terrifying dream I had as a child that he was chasing and attempting to kill me (of course after seeing ESB about 10 times back then).

I do realize this may cause some controversy with some Star Wars purists (me being one of them) I wanted to flip the scenario between IG-88 and Boba Fett, hence the "Alternative Universe" title. I do plan to expand on this with other ideas, but wanted to do this just to do it. Hope you enjoy
