This video is all about UDIMS! Using UDIMS will upgrade your asset creation and texturing game to a whole other level. By using texturing wizardry and a very simple workflow provided by this tutorial I can get your started in less than 5 minutes!
Special Thanks to Joseph Janssen for allowing me to use his awesome mech asset for this tutorial, make sure to check out his portfolio post and process work for the asset.

Why do you have to use only the 1001 mesh? How does unreal get the info from the other textures and maps?

I have a few UDIMs in my Unreal 4.27 VR game and considering using more to lower draw calls, but I haven't seen any detailed information online about actual performance implications of using UDIMs.

how viable are UDIMs when it comes to runtime for games, are they not very expensive?

@megangriib2604 Жыл бұрын

So let me get my head around this, when you've set up your material in UE5, the final result still only uses 4 textures? Or does it use more textures, but you're able to use a lower resolution because the UDIM's allow you to make your UVs bigger? I'm trying to work out the best way to work around texture limits so have to reduce the number/size of textures I have.

@johnjohns8863 Жыл бұрын

See a game like gta5 the whole gta 5 map textures are on 1 big udm called a atlas so yea its calling 1 base color 1 normal 1 roughness ect instead of calling thousands of individual uv maps , so yea it save a lot by only calling 1 big atlas udm map instead of thousands

@Shinobubu 5 ай бұрын

UDIM's are great in that you still only use 1 material instead of multiple materials per set. so you only expend 1 draw call

Are UDIMs cost-effective to use in real time games? Or are they too processing intensive?

@petertremblay3725 11 ай бұрын

Using UDIMs for realtime rendering is massive overkill and will quickly eat through your GPU memory budget. You might want to reconsider the detail that you're putting into your textures. If you have a large asset that needs more than a 4k texture consider splitting it up. For example a large building, you could split it up into multiple face-sets with their own material assignments and texture maps.

@qaztim11 11 ай бұрын

@@petertremblay3725 Thanks for the reply, i got hired after this post and i learned the hard way that UDIMs are not that cost efficient for production. Had to re-do a lot of textures and bakes after splitting up the materials and faces, live and learn i guess.

What did you have in mind? Standard pickups, Game Design? A lot of VR development tends to get complex simply due to dealing with all of the objects needing scripting so the player can interact with them. I did want to create some locomotion tutorials those would be pretty simple.

Appreciate the video! Do you have any tips on how we'd handle multiple texture sets with UDIMS to unreal? Basically one texture set uses tile 1001, 1002 and 1003, set two is 1004, 1005, etc. Is it possible to bring this in, or do I need to completely rework how it's built in substance painter?

@MrShroombot 2 жыл бұрын

It's possible. You don't have to rebuild. I learned how to do it back in Maya in a Maya to SP to Maya workflow. Now I'm just trying to get it into UE. Let me know what you find. I'm gonna try to figure it out.

@MrShroombot 2 жыл бұрын

I figured it out. You just make a new materials and drag in your other 1001 textures then plug then in and put that on the parts of your model.

ive did it with photoshop and sadly unreal was not detecting other udim textures and had to regenerate it in sub

@@hoho7029 I did make it work. I've enabled "Enable virtual texture support" in the Project Settings. Plus, I have to number the TGAs differently, like ending them with .1001, then .1002, etc. An example would be "standingLamp_N.1001" then "standingLamp_N.1002".

That’s a weird error. What version of a Unreal are you using

@QuinnKuslich 2 жыл бұрын

Also did you remember to restart your engine, the other thing that might be an issue that we could address would be actually opening up your texture maps and making sure it matches substance painter

@gabyfae661 2 жыл бұрын

@@QuinnKuslich I restarted my engine after enabling Virtual Textures and waited until all the shaders were compiled. And I'm using UE5! That... Might be it haha. It's bizarre because When I create multiple materials and drag and drop them to individual pieces of geometry on the mesh, the maps get applied there.

@universeheatdeath Жыл бұрын

@@IstyManame I'm guessing you're asking why you'd use UDIM's using 3-4 tiles than just using 3-4 separate textures... UDIM's allow the game engine, or whatever you use to only have to go through a few texture maps instead (Most of the time just 3 per asset in the case of UE5) than tens of separate UV's. Along with making your workflow faster, for whatever reason 3 UDIM maps that take up 3-4 spaces (Albedo, Normal, AO+) are a smaller file size overall than multiple separate UV's (at least in my experience), I thank it's how the computer computes the images and UDIM's are just faster that way. I really don't exactly get how they work but I hope this helped :)

@universeheatdeath Жыл бұрын

@@IstyManame Also forgot to mention... if you use a few 4k maps, rather than one large 2k UDIM map, it makes the file size smaller as well while giving you better texture resolution
