The Light of Hope - Unreal Challenge 2nd place (Student)

This is my submission for Unreal Challenge: Better Light Than Never. I've got 2nd place in the student category. The brief was to produce a 10-30 sec video to showcase lighting skills using Unreal Engine. No post-editing is allowed, so this is the raw render from Unreal Movie Render Queue. It was an incredibly fun experience. I challenged myself to model a spaceship because I am lacking hard-surface modeling practice. I've gotten more confident UVing hard-surface objects during this project. Also, I've learned more about lighting and rendering in Unreal and gotten used to working with sequencer and movie render queue plugin. A big thanks to Unreal for creating such challenges and allowing artists to showcase their work! Also, a huge thank you to Nachshon Rubel for allowing me to use his concept art "Crushsite" as an inspiration for this project!
