Thus, following several months of trial and error and a good deal of setbacks. I felt compelled to share my current status with you regarding my degree project.  I've made the decision to move forward with the same plan but slightly alter the strategy. I'm going to add about five more scenes to my project. which is what would be.  1) A cosmic explosion accompanying a procedural Black hole.  2) A galaxy's scene  3) The Star System 4) A Planet 5) A few auxiliary images featuring planets, galaxies, nebulas, and space in general.  After that, I'll tackle a couple easy initiatives like sound design and a monologue.  Monologue:  After the scenes are explained, this must come first. The audience's perception of the conclusion must be flawless for it to be even more captivating. I'm going to read books and other sources while I write a monologue. Because "Gattaca" is a movie that I found inspiring and is often praised for its engaging story, likeable character...

As I mentioned in my earlier blogs, Unity does not support rendering 360-degree videos. I have located a tutorial that shows how to accomplish it in the latest version of Unreal Engine 5. As it happens, it was simple all along.  There is a Unity plugin called Movie Render Queue with additional render passes that is presently in beta testing. Similar to any other application, it essentially provides options for panorama rendering.  I added a sequencer and camera character into my scene and animated it. With the new tools at my disposal, I was able to easily incorporate a sequencer into my scene, creating a plethora of opportunities for narrative in the virtual environment. The sequencer took on the role of the conductor in my story, giving me exact control over the visual extravaganza as it developed.  I exported the whole scene as 8K JPEGs to fully utilise this newfound ability. This choice, which offered a compromise between excellent resolution and reasonable file sizes...
