For my R&D project using Unreal Engine for the first time, I wanted to keep things simple yet impactful. I chose 'Under The Water' by Aurora, as its vivid lyrics describe a tangible environment.

 

The concept was to submerge the viewer in a dark, swampy underwater world, where the lyrics animate around them throughout the song.​ The process of creating the environment

involved sourcing and placing assets, utilizing the foliage brush tool. 

This perfectly captures the ethereal and moody essence of the song and artist.
