Medical Aid for Palestinians Digital March

HardcoreRick — Wed, 15 May 2024 18:24:42 +0000

I am creating a Digital March for Gaza relief, if you want a 3D model made of yourself then you can be a part of it.

To raise money, I’ll be spending 12 hours creating characters, adding a walking animation to them and bringing them all together for a Digital March.

If you want to support the cause, all you need to do is pay at least £15.00 (or more) to this Gofundme, along with any images of clothes you’d like to be wearing, a straight on and side on image fo your face, or just a link to your instagram where I can rip the clothes/ likeness from.

Please send a screenshot of your donation along with any photos or social media to me via the contact organiser section at the bottom of the page.

You can also ask to be sent the 3D model afterwards in FBX or another 3D format.

You can also donate less than £15.00 and I will add your name to the final Digital March video.

I believe there’s a lot we can do as artists and creatives, and if we take just one day out and use our crafts for appeals then we can make a massive impact.

More information about Medical Aid for Palestinians: Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) works for the health and dignity of Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees. We provide immediate medical aid to those in great need, while also developing local capacity and skills to ensure the long-term development of the Palestinian healthcare system.

Here's a few different techniques for mapping video inputs across multiple meshes.

Hopefully useful for designing your own virtual stage/virtual production set ups, or just routing imagery in and out of Unreal Engine for awesome visuals!

360° Live Streamed and Rendered 3D scenes

Sequenced 360 outputs that process Lumen, Raytracing, particles, emissives, seamless Bloom and other effects all rendered in a fraction of the time in Movie Render Queue or live-streamed with a Render Target. [Unreal Engine]

I’ve been spending the past two months researching the best ways to render 360 scenes for Equirectangular, Domemaster and Cubemap output.

Here I’ve made a playlist compiling everything I learnt with a load of tips for optimising 3D scenes so as not to lose any creative freedom when making renders in 360.

This is all made with the Off World Live Live-streaming toolkit for Unreal Engine. With this plugin you can live stream or render your 360 scenes at a fraction of the time of other renderers - all features enabled.
