Nice work! Especially love the sunset and snowfall scenes.
Did you use any 3rd party assets for these?

In a recent demo I wanted to light an interior space using only light from stained glass windows. Modeling primarily in Blender. Real-time render using Lumen in Unreal Engine.

In a recent demo I wanted to explore ways of combining my 2 favourite real-time playgrounds - Unreal Engine and TouchDesigner.
Here I’m creating real-time visuals using machine learning based tracking. The visuals are then sent to Unreal Engine.

One thing I noticed, translucent Substrate materials don't seem to work any more in 5.6 Preview, but they did in earlier 5.6 Main Branch.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing!
Would you know if the Cvars

r.RayTracedTranslucency.Allowed 1
r.RayTracedTranslucency.UseRayTracedRefraction 1

Are still required in the official 5.6 Preview release?
I noticed a new toggle in Project settings for
Raytraced Translucent Refractions

re Eulogy. Is it just me or did the writing seem almost too good for a Black Mirror episode?
Hit me like a ton of bricks on many levels. So good. The technology was merely a prop device for the real story about memory, communication etc. Just brilliant!

In a recent personal demo I wanted to explore improvements to Lumen in Unreal 5.5, especially in regards to rendering of Heterogeneous Volumes.
No Path Tracing was used.

A quick demo showcasing translucency using HWRT and hit lighting in Unreal 5.6.
Lumen now supports true ray-traced refraction.

Personal projects allow me to test new concepts and stay inspired.
