Space Opera - Fuse Conference 2024

I had the honor to do a talk at this year's Fuse Conference at @staffordshireuniversity. The talk was about my journey as an artist. But it also had a practical section where I showed some lighting workflows. This piece is the result of that session. I used the Opera House Kit as the base and Aurora from Paragon as the main character. I used a fully dynamic lighting setup and ended up doing 3 different lighting explorations of the scene's mood.

Took inspiration from the space opera scene in the Fifth Element movie.
