UEFN - Talisman Demo

The Talisman demo for GDC 2024 was a showcase of the power of UEFN combined with being able to easily create and animate high-fidelity NPCs for Fortnite islands using MetaHuman Creator and MetaHuman Animator. The team worked hard developing a workflow that holds up to the scrutiny of AAA quality but delivered in a small impactful package. All in all the whole demo came in under 400megs!
I was yet again fortunate to work with an amazing crew who made the Talisman ship and demo come to life. Was a blast to create something hard-surface. Generally the team works on natural environments so the Talisman was an awesome and rewarding challenge for the us to tackle.
