Electrical Cables are driven by Splines, the shader allows for variations in color, speed, WPO and shapes using custom parameters
Blueprint for Cables Spline generation, accounts for vertex color to drive the glow in a multi-mesh arrangement

Props were made in Blender, mesh masks were baked in Substance Painter for the hero prop
Scene Setup with Description of Props and Shaders
The Sci-Fi Environment project focuses on exploring and utilizing dynamic Sci-Fi shaders in Unreal Engine to present an environment scene. The intention was to communicate movement through shaders, and Sci-Fi materials happen to have a lot of moving parts.
.
Along with the resulting dynamic emissive shaders, the project culminated in valuable learning about environment art, including lighting and composition, prop creation, Spline blueprints and Niagara Particle System. Additionally, Substance Painter was used for baking masks for the hero prop. Additionally Illustrator was used for creating Hologram vectors.
