I gave a talk during the Experience Expo 2022 about "Adding Motion to Concept Art". Here you'll find the example I worked on, the talk itself and the project files. The brief was this: We'll spice up a concept art by adding motion and VFX in Unreal 5 - WITHOUT the need for heavy technical knowledge! Besides of the scene setup, Simon will also cover topics like the batch-export of layers from Photoshop and auto-import those into Unreal. We'll use sprites to setup the scene (to avoid material creation) and for the VFX needs we'll use Simon's (slightly extended) Super Shader: It allows to create nice effects without having to make a shader yourself. To create (very basic) geometries for the effects, we'll have a look into the new Modelling and UV Editing Tools which come with Unreal 5 and help to avoid switching back and forth between the Engine and a 3D Program.

Example Project for my talk at Experience Points Expo 2022. I was allowed to use a concept from Steven Cormann and animated some elements with my shader and simple particle systems. The fire was not present in the original concept.
