Thank you for the patient walk through - it helped me figure out a few sticky spots in my production.

Thank you -- the end result looks so complicated, but your tutorial is awesome, and I found Unreal looks daunting but actually makes it very easy. Great work, please keep it up! Would love a video describing the PostProcessing effects, I can read the names and play with them, but would like to understand them more.

@yearight1205 10 ай бұрын

Please consider covering the one thing no one covers but everyone says you must know for filmmaking in Unreal Engine. Which is Blueprints from a filmmaking perspective. I've watched loads of videos going over it for video games, but I am still clueless as to what the major points are that will help me as a filmmaker.

@ROMTHIRTY 8 ай бұрын

Agreed 100%. My VFX company wants to dive into Unreal for filmmaking and it's difficult to get into it. As good as a tutorial as this may be, I found myself pausing and contemplating if I should even continue watching because I have so many questions that come up that may seem obvious to you but not to someone trying to learn what and why things are enabled. I hope to see more of these tutorials for filmmaking and why certain settings are enabled and what they do and not just following directions "click this and this" :) Thanks for this.

@ROMTHIRTY 8 ай бұрын

Also, In my line of VFX work, we usually have very fast turn around times and I wonder if most of what is in this video (the setup) has to be done every time for every shot or is it a one time setup and all future projects use this base project file. I guess my bigger questions are on folder management structures and how to manage multiple projects. I'd hate to have a 30 minute setup every time I need to do a quick render.

@riggsmurtah2788 7 ай бұрын

@@ROMTHIRTY Settings and plugins are a one time setup per project. You can have multiple levels/environment scenes that inherit the postprocess settings from one scene to another. You have the ability to copy and paste ANYTHING from 1 file to another. The bigger issue with UE currently is the flickering in specular/shadows and zdepth being rough around the edges. From friends in the industry for the Mandolorian ILM moved away from UE5 to a different game engine because of these issues. If your company has Nuke there is a unrealreader node design to push the UE scene into Nuke, and in the unrealreader node has multiple AOVs to choose from with better quality for post work. USD file formats is available for UE5, it was something everyone was talking about during siggraph. What studio do you work for if you don't mind me asking, I'm a comp/generalist :).

Trying to do my first UE filmmaking project. Thanks for this great video. Maybe in the future you get into using the camera rigging tool in UE, and tips on moving a character from point A to B? Been watching quite a bit on youtube, but a lot of the character movement functons built into UE seem, of course, for games, using character blueprints, and not so clear how to do the same sorts of things in film context.

The render quality of Lumen etc is undeniable But this process makes it very clear to me why we only see ALOT of 30-40 second tech demos but do NOT see any full length ,three act films from single artists in the unreal community. the setup for everything is just ridiculous unless you have an entire team working on a project.

Hey mate! Awesome video. Getting into a little problem with exporting the .FBX into Blender. Can unparent all but it seems like I'm losing a material slot when doing so, so when I import it back into UE5, it's missing a slot. Any thoughts would be sooooooo appreciated. Cheers!!

using in-place animation and finding speed of the walk is FAR MORE easier than using normal animation and then duplicate that animation and then turning off yaw.. something and then selecting "continue with where final last joint animation ended" and then bake that animation and re-using the baked animation into the our sequencer.. Bruh

@ukmonk Ай бұрын

Do you only have to add assets to sequencer IF you are going to animate or manipulate them etc? If I have a small city with lots of buildings etc, I don't have to add everything right? Only main characters and stuff that might interact or get moved etc?

Does each character and camera have its own sequence plugged into the Master Sequence? For example, does character A, character B, character C, camera A, camera B and camera C each have their own sequencer in the Master Sequence?

No. Inside one sequencer, you add only the assets that you want to control, such as characters, camera and objects, key frame them as required

Should you do audio in unreal or your video editing software? Specifically if you're making a music video? Maybe do audio in engine then strip it when you export just so I can get all the animations timed right?

@texturem0nkey 5 ай бұрын

I think in general you really want to do any extra editing/audio pass/etc for something that's not actually a game, in a proper video editor. It looks like they have Unreal working fairly well in that it can deliver a ton of solutions without leaving the app, but most serious filmmakers who are going to use this (at any level) are going to do another pass of post externally and that includes the audio, for so many reasons. There's gonna be exceptions (if you have sound FX that are unique to different elements in the game, etc - like walking through grass, maybe even firing weapons etc in many cases) but for things like dialogue, music, "special" audio effects (hero explosions etc) you will have a much easier life not tying it to the unreal project.

I used a mixmo character -- click 'Characters' to left of 'Animations'; choose a character, then Animations will be added to the character for you to download. I followed their steps of import the fbx character first (I think it had same name as displayed on mixamo), then the animations. After importing, character had a name like 'Ch46_Ob_....", but I renamed in Unreal. The character was not important, but was quick and easy to use to follow tutorial. I got a cartoony one, it was actually funny to add to the video. Hope that helps
