Grand Discovery - Unreal Engine 5 Environment Challenge
Hello everyone, it's time for the first CGDealers challenge called "Grand Discovery", a design challenge focused on game environments.

This challenge is perfect for users of all levels, including beginners with no previous experience with Unreal Engine. I have prepared a complete scene where you just need to scatter objects and create your environment. Simply click the Render button, and your final render of the scene will be ready for submission!

#1 First Place
Gaea Enterprise License $299
Meta Shoot License $249
1 x KitBash by your choice $199

#2 Second Place
Gaea Professional License $199
Meta Shoot License $249

#3 Third Place
Gaea Indie License $99
Meta Shoot License $249

Here are the rules:
1) Use Unreal Engine 5.2 or a newer version.
2) Do not modify the camera animation. The animation of the sequencer has intentionally been locked.
3) In the placeholders, you will find an Arch. This is the first mandatory requirement. You must include some form of an Arch in your scene. It can be a metal Arch, a cave, or something else of your choosing.
4) Your scene should have a point of interest. This is the second mandatory requirement. In the provided example, it is represented by a cone. Feel free to create a castle, a statue, a giant tree, or any other point of interest.
5) There are no limitations on the art style. You can create a realistic, cartoony, or any other style you can imagine.
6) Avoid including main characters. You can add side NPCs or other elements, but the focus should be on environment design and the point of interest, also known as the "Great Discovery."
7) Feel free to include environment animations, VFX, particles, clouds, fog, or any other effects you can think of. Let your creativity shine!
8) The recommended rendering settings are 5 seconds / 300 frames, 1920x1080 resolution, and 60 FPS.
9) Download the project files:   / grand-discovery-86170771
