Since the request keeps coming up, here are a couple of UE5 shots with Lumen of the plateau area, as well as some of the reworked forest areas. We haven't fully switched to UE5 yet, but are planning to do so once it's production ready!

A look at Monty's model in UE4 and UE5. Our feline uses an elaborate strand-based fur system that is combined with a shell layer that lies underneath. The full groom will be used in cutscenes and facial close ups, while the gameplay model will fall back to using a more performance friendly shell-based groom. Kudos to our character artist Glen (twitter.com/WallStaringCat) for his diligence and patience with this. He made Monty from the ground up, which included several do-overs on the fur to properly get the groom from x-gen to Unreal. The underlying shells were done with GFur plugin by the way!

Here's a first look at Monty, the game's sidekick/emotional support cat/furrybait character who will function as the player's mechanic and offer them upgrades in exchange for materials and minerals throughout the game. Just like Sam, Monty found himself stranded on Glacier IV, but has different reasons for being there. Stay tuned for a first look at his model tomorrow!

Happy to see Fox Fires being nominated for the British Animation Awards among Coldplay and The Beatles! I take it these are somewhat related to their music videos. Make sure to check out the film if you haven‘t yet!
