Back in 2020, around the beginning of quarantine, POORTV started out as a livestream to express my creativity and wacky ideas playing with a tool i had been learning, called Unreal Engine.
Unreal unlocked a lot of new ideas and as I learned more, my ideas grew as well.
After some time experimenting, I created POORBOY and his world. He conducted live interviews, played games and watched videos with the viewers.
"The Adventures of POORBOY"
He was modeled in Cinema 4D, rigged in mixamo and brought to life in Unreal Engine.
As I expanded the world that POORBOY inhabited, he got an upgrade as well. He could still play video games and watch movies, but this upgrade was not onlyy visual but technical as well.
In this update, I incorporated twitch triggers and commands into the Unreal Engine and stream programming.
Simply, with a chat command, you could control POORBOY.
The last iteration of the stream came with a whole new design. A tv studio with my avatar as the host. simply titled "POORTV"
This stream had a whole new set of commands and controls built into the stream.
