In March 2025, I took part in the Mardini challenge organized by SideFX - 31 procedural projects in 31 days, each inspired by a daily prompt. I approached the challenge not with the goal of producing polished final pieces, but as an opportunity to (re)learn Houdini, test ideas quickly, and push myself creatively within strict time constraints.

In this breakdown, I’ll walk you through the process of integrating UI elements into Unreal Engine for my Mononoke-inspired side project. From creating dynamic title screens and HUDs to adding custom sound design in post-production, this project showcases my ability to merge tech art with UI design, bringing everything together in a cohesive, interactive experience. Whether it’s animating game elements or composing custom music, each part was carefully crafted to enhance the overall feel and immersion.
