Midjourney Prompt: "a golden wheat field at sunset"
Using Unreal Engine 5, I leveraged real-time rendering to achieve smooth 60 FPS animation of a golden wheat field at sunset. I sculpted a custom hilly terrain and instanced Quixel Megascans wheat stalks to build a realistic environment. To enhance the atmosphere, I created a Niagara particle system for floating pollen and used a directional light to simulate the warm, dramatic glow of golden hour. Most of the final look was achieved in-engine through a post-processing volume and cinematic camera setup. Final color grading and compositing were done with Maxon Red Giant in Adobe After Effects, ensuring a polished, visually striking result.
