The Tree of Life

This is an Unreal Engine 5 project I have been working on in my spare time over the last year, and is my depiction of the Tree of Life which has always fascinated me.

The Tree of Life's real-life history stems back hundreds of thousands of years and features cross multiple religions and mythologies with each culture interpreting it differently. Even so, each interpretation stems from one notion: unity. First and foremost, the Tree of Life embodies spiritual and physical connection which I have tried to capture in this project.

This project is actually a remake of an old University project I did back in 2019 to show how far I have come since then in my technical and artistic abilities, and overall I'm very pleased with the result. Most importantly, I learned a lot along the way, particularly when it comes to the new features UE5 offers such as working with Lumen and Nanite. Learning Speed Tree for the first time to make the actual Tree of Life model was also a great learning experience I will be sure to utilize again in the future.
