"Life is a Rally" - Unreal Realtime Short

Started as R&D for automotive in Unreal Engine, “Life is a Rally” have been created in the free time by a team of 2 tech in 2 months, working mostly in the weekends. We tried to experiment with most of the topics that are difficult to see in automotive demo for realtime: storytelling, physical rigs, enviromental fx. Packed with a lot of custom solutions made syncing SideFX Houdini and UE4, with a particular attention and love on Niagara particles, “Life is a Rally” is a love letter to life and to people who keep going on, even in such a difficult period as the one through Covid-19 pandemic situation.
