How I Built a Full UE5 Scene in 7 Hours – Moonlight Silence [Timelapse]

🌙 Moonlight Silence – full timelapse of my cinematic environment created in Unreal Engine 5 in just 7 hours.

This scene was built using a mix of free assets from Quixel Megascans (including the **Dark Ruins Sample Pack**) and several paid assets:
• *Easy Fog* by William Faucher
• *Matte Painting Skybox* by Velarion
• *MW Landscape Auto Material* by MAWI United
• A few small props from the FAB Marketplace

The focus of this piece was on atmosphere, lighting, and composition — aiming to create a moody and immersive environment inspired by ruins in the moonlight.
