See you later Unreal Fest. Off to explore The Field Museum and the Pokemon Fossil Exhibit before flying back home!
Day 2 starts now! I have a ton of follow along labs today so I am thrilled to see what I can take back to the classroom.
Almost the end of events here in Chicago. Wrapped up with an amazing session detailing some of the newer pieces of control rig with my new favorite character Zeb. Next up Unreal Party, then some sleep before a more personal day in the city tomorrow #UnrealFest26
Getting the official Day 1 of Unreal Fest started with the state of Unreal! Excited to see what all they have to show off! #UnrealFest26
State of Unreal was inspiring and the morning sessions were great. Going to have to make sure I have time to chat with some of the booths but I don't want to miss a session! #UnrealFest26
Made it to Chicago and am I excited for Unreal Fest this year. Colleague and I stopped at Lou Malnati's for lunch and hiked our way down the coast to get checked in to our hotels before the fun starts!

Our Opportunity CLIMB program is working with our Intro to Game Design Class! Students will test to get their Unreal Engine certification, and this week they had the chance to hear from an Unreal Authorized Instructor for Unreal Engine by Epic Games. #StVrainAdvantage @SVVSD

This was super cool to receive and be a part of! I appreciate the recognition from the leadership at @ICSVVSD and while I am focussing on Game Design and Quantum this year theres no way you can take that Robotics bug away from me!
Congratulations to our next Stapp Interstate Toyota Educator Highlight, Alex Downing and Jacob Roberts, the Robotics Leadership team at the Innovation Center for their exceptional and inspiring work.

You cant learn about making games with out playing some first. And thats not just a me choice, its in the standards for game design courses. Let's get this semester rolling on the right side of the rails today as we learn how to define a game!

Odyssey is a professional toolset that brings 2D animation workflows directly into Unreal Engine, enabling artists to draw, animate, and storyboard frame by frame right inside the Unreal Editor.
We've been working with its creator, @Praxinos, to help bring it to more creators by making it available through the Fab Marketplace for free!: unrealengine.com/news/odysse…
Day 3 underway. Only a few sessions left before I'm back on the plane organizing my notes for next years students.
One of the best conferences Ive been to! #UnrealFest
Day 2 underway. Started the morning with a great session on Metahuman Characters and how we can use AI to help bring them to life.
Next to learn about Horde! Great conference so far, really is a #UnrealFest
Its hard to think that this has all been the same day. Really valuable sessions all day and getting to have conversations with folks from EA CD Projekt Red Nissan and more has been invaluable. Plus look at this cool tat i got at the party tonight! Cant wait ti close out tomorrow!
