ASHEN SHORT ANIMATED FILM
Animated Series · 2024
About Project
Ashen is an original short animated film, the first in its category, created entirely with a globally distributed team. Developed outside the traditional animation pipeline, the project had no concept art or unified style. Instead, the team worked from rough room dimensions and a handful of scattered references across various visual aesthetics.
creative execution
Everything on screen was built from scratch using Unreal Engine, Houdini, and Blender. Assets, props, and textures were all custom-made with no use of public libraries or marketplace content. Procedural tools and hand modeling were combined to achieve full creative control and visual precision. To meet the technical demands of stylized real-time animation, a bespoke pipeline was implemented for animation, lighting, and rendering directly inside Unreal Engine, delivering a unified visual world grounded in history but shaped through modern digital storytelling.
