Does Your Dog Have An Overactive Imagination? Unreal Engine Cinematic @IndyStry

Uploaded January 2024 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

Does your dog have an overactive imagination? What if everything they see is a world ending boss battle?
A cute and funny little cinematic I did for the #PugForestChallenge hosted by @JonathanWinbush and @eyedesyn. Super grateful to you guys for the challenge along with the special guests, Gabriela from @FeedingWolves , Marlon from @LeiaInc, Evan from Epic Games@UnrealEngine and Kelly from @PugetSystemsPC.

As a second runner up winner, I won a LEIA Lumepad, a 3D tablet that when seen in person makes images and videos pop out of the screen using lightfield tech. It is genuinely impressive tech that you are able to see 3D without any glasses and it actually feels like it is coming out of the screen. Check it out IRL. Thanks guys!

Project was done in 20 days in UE5 and composited in Nuke.

$Realistic Rain in Unreal Engine 5 : Sci-Fi Cinematic + Breakdown #alternaterealities #ue5 Entry for Alternate Realities challenge showcasing how to do realistic rain in UE5 for cinematics. This shot was my entry for @pwnisher s #alternaterealities challenge sometime back. I never got around to adding sound and doing a full breakdown so here it is. I ported the system over to #ue5 and the rain system completely holds up I think. The splashes element clips to the edge which I think I couldve done better. The key ingredients to make a realistic rain setup is to have the following elements: Rain drops that bead onto surfaces, rain drips that go down slopes, rain puddles if water can accumulate and rain ripples in those collected pools. This is where I would like to thank @BenCloward for making a very detailed and well explained series on how to make these material functions. I have shown the node setup briefly here but I highly recommend watching his series to build one yourself and get the texture files needed for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYGOZYST-oQ&list=PL78XDi0TS4lHpIHseomZCPRm_NkyUMkPs Couple more things needed for realistic rain is the rain fall streaky lines that you can either make with Niagara or do what I did here, find elements from resources like ActionVFX and ingest them as flipbooks in UE. I used distant rain assets from them and I also used rain fall and splash elements from Ians Patreon. If you want to make your own Distant Rain asset, you can also try filming fine particulate flour in turbulent wind as distant rain behaves more like a group of waves rather than individual streaky lines. I would also like to give a massive thank you to Clint for hosting the challenge and to @SirWrender @IanHubert2 and @PeterFrance for giving their valuable feedback! Also a round of thank you to @quixeltools shaders that allowed to create beautiful muddy ground and mud marks everywhere. This also wouldnt be as epic if I didnt have the amazing Spaceships kit from @KitBash3D ! Last but not the least, as always, couldnt have done this without the beautiful score from the talented @ScottBuckley !
