In this video i'm going to show you my current approach to creating photoreal 3D art. I only had 20 days days to make the art, and I'll cover a ton of topics, tips and tricks for effeciently getting to an end result. I'll be using Unreal Engine 5 to create my art, with a little help from Cinema 4D, Daz3D, Midjourney and Davinci Resolve. All of these programs are free (except Cinema4D) so feel free to download them all below, and experiment for yourself.
