I worked with Virtirlwear Studios to create a Metaverse option of their NFT line. Unfortunately the project was cancelled before the project to get to full potential.
I took the bust of the character from the NFT line that was already created and then transferred that information into a fully realised 3D character fully optimised for Unreal Engine 5.1. This includes the additional sculpting, to low poly re-topology to texturing, rigging, applying weights, animating and importing into Unreal where I got the character to move around a scene using Blueprints.
Having never touched Unreal Engine since UDK, this was very exciting and fun to learn.

**Please know the risks before purchasing crypto and NFTs.**
My computer couldn't handle recording and playing UE5 at the same time so there is a little bit of artefacting.
The character is able to interact with the environment that was the Epic Offices environment available in the UE Marketplace.
Here is a short video of the switching that was available in the now cancelled NFT to Metaverse project from MICE media.
These are the Blueprints I created to have the character move and switch clothes.
These were placeholder animations for the MICE team. We created a trailer from them.
