Unreal Engine and Houdini Series at Faculty of Arts, The University of Hong Kong
✨ Empowering the Next Generation of Creative Technologists at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) ✨
I had the honor of leading a series of speaking and training sessions for the staff and students at HKU. The University of Hong Kong ranked 1st in Hong Kong and 17th globally in the 2025 QS World University Rankings. A special thank you to the Faculty of Arts for inviting me to present at their innovative Arts Tech Lab, a hub for creativity and interdisciplinary collaboration.
The workshops provided an immersive experience using Unreal Engine and Houdini, where participants explored cutting-edge tools and workflows revolutionizing real-time and procedural content creation. We dove deep into the latest innovations powering stunning virtual worlds—leveraging Unreal Engine’s real-time rendering and procedural capabilities of both technologies.
My talk, titled "Building the Metaverse: Real-Time Power and Procedural Magic," examined how real-time engines extend beyond gaming into fields like architecture and immersive experiences. I also introduced a novel world creation pipeline aimed at producing high-fidelity, real-time-ready assets. It was inspiring to witness the enthusiastic engagement during the Q&A session!
