Foggy Barn - Breakdown & Project Files

Roughly 1 hour of narrated breakdown of my real-time Foggy Barn project. It covers my full workflow from references, project planning to final compositing using Blender, RealityScan, Unreal Engine and Nuke.

I created this breakdown to condensate and demystify the process of creating a real-time environment from someone with a "traditional" path-tracing background.
