SCAD Animation Studios' latest student project, The Last Dungeon, is different. The team, made up of student's from The Savannah College of Art and Design, were challenged to use Unreal Engine 5. For a team used to more familiar 3D apps, like 3ds Max or Blender, using a game engine to create an animated film was a challenge.
Every year SCAD selects a number of students to create a short animated film and this is the first time Epic Games' platform has been chosen as the 'challenge'. This is a sign of times, as Unreal Engine 5 is becoming a tool for filmmaking and animation as much as video games. (Read our guide, 'Unreal Engine 5: all you need to know' for more.)
