The Whispering Library — environment & VFX breakdown
Here’s The Whispering Library, my Unreal Engine scene with a Halloween mood and a little inspiration from Little Nightmares: familiar objects, just slightly out of place.
I’ve gathered a little breakdown of the book geometry, page animation, library architecture and stair destruction. The geometry comes from Houdini; the textured page-turn study was animated and rendered in Blender.
At the end is BookFlight, my separate Blueprint + Niagara content pack. The original film, character, Houdini tools and stair system aren’t included.
You can download the free Windows demo from my Patreon. The editable BookFlight pack is on Gumroad.
