Go behind the scenes of our Godzilla cinematic made entirely in Unreal 5. Learn how to create Hollywood-level VFX at home using Unreal Engine 5! In this video, I show you step-by-step how I recreated an epic Godzilla battle sequence using the same tools available to you. I'll share some insider tricks from my experience working on blockbusters like Star Wars IX and Godzilla vs Kong, now applied to Unreal Engine 5.
Subscribe to the channel - many more Godzilla videos on their way ;D
Props to the small but mighty team who helped bring this to life! The whole short was animated and rendered directly out of Unreal and composited with Nuke.

@sammyt7981 8 күн бұрын

Yeah unfortunately, and it’s all because executives want to replace artist and animators for AI because “AI’s more technologically advance” and I hate AI for that. AI can be a good tool for helping certain parts of animation to look better, but it can’t replace some people’s job. That is why we need an artist and animators strike now so that they can get better pay and to show off more of their creative animation styles that’s not hyper realistic AI shit.

@cloudshifter 8 күн бұрын

He has been hired on the Dune movies among other stuff too. Right now however the industry is experiencing the dark ages for two reasons. Reason 1: Poor Ceo management of funds. Companies overspend on movies and series (like 100-200 mil) meaning that even if a medium becomes smashing success it can still go out business (Example is Tangowork studios that was close down by Microsoft after a very successful game they made that even won awards. Best case scenario the studio closes after a success, worst scenario and most common it makes nearly nothing back in revenue and the company is minus 40-120 mil. Their solution to this is not to fire the person managing money so carelessly but to fire the artists who are the backbone of those movies / series / games and put up the most work. Reason 2: There is a gigantic rat race with AI right now, every company wants to perfect "the definitive AI" that will replace a department group, primarily the VFX artist department. There are speculations about the animation industry as well but the first casualty is most likely going to be the vfx industry. These two reasons happen right now at the same time and as you guessed reason 1 with reason 2 synergize as higher ups see the artists as the main financial problem to why their media is not doing well. "Godzilla Minus One" is a great example of proper funding use as the movie had 15 mil overall budget for the movie, blew out every other Godzilla movie out of the water, is the highest rated and considered the best Godzilla movie ever made and is the first ever Godzilla film to win an Oscar.

A game like this would be phenominal. sadly, there are only a few modern games allowing to play as godzilla on PC, most of them only have mods which add godzilla. Dedicated kaiju brawlers arerarity, like Gigabash.

@Alpha_GameDev-wq5cc 5 күн бұрын

It wouldn’t look anything like the render… games have to run realtime. It would look so bad that you won’t bother buying it at all. This is extremely difficult unless you want everything to be pre-rendered and scripted at which point it’s not a game but a fancy cutscene

Came out great. When rendering from Unreal, do you export and render the frames with the real time engine or do you export them with the path tracer because you are not making a game? I always wanted to know that. What do most people do?

@JoshToonen 5 күн бұрын

I don't pathtrace, I prefer to work in real-time the whole time so that you can rely on those super fast render times. Totally depends on the project, but many people path trace, but it sort of defeats the purpose imo.
