Sergei "Leoluch" Panin, an experienced 3D Artist and Senior Level Artist at Housemarque, has unveiled Next Turn, a gorgeous Warhammer 40K-inspired 3D cinematic created as a personal project to depict the experience of playing Warhammer tabletop games.
Described as a dream project the artist has long desired to create, Next Turn combines photorealistic miniatures with animation and visual effects, resulting in an awesome battle sequence with quality so remarkable that it can easily be mistaken for an official promotional video from Games Workshop. According to Sergei, the cinematic was set up using Maya, Substance 3D Painter, and RealityCapture and rendered entirely in Unreal Engine 5, with a small amount of color grading.
