Don't pick Unreal OVER Blender, but use the two in conjunction. Detailed modeling is much better done in Blender then exported to Unreal for finishing touches and putting the environment together to finalize the scene

I’ve been procrastinating to learn blender for so long. I was always unsure if I want to spend hundred of hours to learn it. I just wanted to do some landscapes and backgrounds for filmmaking, now I think that unreal would be a better choice

Have you started, and how are you finding it? Im looking to make a short cinematic in UE. Just learning some tutorials atm

@anonymitymatt1721 11 ай бұрын

you still need to learn some 3D Modelling if you want to make your own assets to have your own environment. Its not the same when you use premade assets. You can still do either of course, but it's more rewarding if you make everything yourself. Plus the video is only talking about using UE5 to render, not to really make stuff. There are modelling tools in UE5 but not the same as what you'd use in blender

@IamSH1VA 10 ай бұрын

You need Blender for lot of things to work with UE5, unreal cannot do everything.

I mean eevee is getting raytracing soon so. I think you should use what your interested in. Having the entire workflow in one place saves a ton of time, to export to UE , remake materials, fix your animations and then animate your camera there is not saving much time.... just use the renderer you like.

@ak_fx 8 ай бұрын

Just to confirm, eevee is not getting raytracing but rather screen-space global illumination. Having a workflow in only place is great for small projects but if you want to do everything to perfection especially for larger projects, its better to do it in specialised propgrams. Eg substance painter for textured, blender for modelling layout and previewing and ue5 for renderings. Your exact workflow depends on your preference

I have tried building a suitable pipeline for stylized cartoony animations from Blender to Unreal. There are several issue that I ran into, big ones like getting the light to look as good as cycles, and small ones, like getting the reflections of the corneas to look right. I spent a lot of time and in the end, my clients still asked me to render in Blender! I think if I were better at lighting and materials in Unreal, I could pull it off. There's just something about lighting in a real path tracer that is like: one click and it's beautiful.

@JoshToonen Жыл бұрын

There’s also the built in Pathtracer in UE5 which eventually I’ll make some videos on! Totally valid though, it can take a while to wrap your head around UE5s lighting. To get faster, I used UE5s pathtracer as a “ground truth”, would screenshot it and then match my viewport to the pathtracer render. Hopefully that helps!

@PixelRemedy Жыл бұрын

Legitimately curious here, (I'm prepping on learning how to use unreal real soon with blender) what would the difference be with UE5 and Blender's eevee considering it's similar to Realtime rendering? (note: I'm aware it's not prefect)

@JoshToonen Жыл бұрын

Eevee is *like* real-time but not real-time, and when making a film the difference can add up. (Think of creating 100 shots in a 10 minute film). You need to boost your render settings when rendering in Eevee but you don’t in Unreal, what you see is what you get and Unreal has a better quality lighting system and no geometry limits (plus you can pathtracer if you need to)

Eevee doesn't compare. It doesn't have GI and it is still slower than Unreal. However, Eevee next is set to be released this within a year, and that might change things.

@IndianCitizen04 10 ай бұрын

You're definitely right about Unreal power to handle big environment and cutting edge Realtime rendering through Lumen Global illumination but Unreal still lacking the juice in refining the animation, sculpting, shape keys etc. one DCC have. But they could overcome it by implementing proper USD file utilization as Omniverse is doing. Game Engine and DCC app should have proper pipeline.

@Chicky_Lumps 9 ай бұрын

This is misleading imo, it doesn't take an enormous amount of time to set up a scene for rendering in Blender or Maya. It DOES usually take much longer to pathtrace a complex scene sufficiently, and UE5 is great for realtime or nearly realtime renders that are fairly close to a fully pathtraced render. You should choose based on whether you need the fastest render times or the best possible pathtracing, depending on your project.

This is such a good question :D My last livestream was about this if you want to check that out! If you're just beginning, I'd recommend building environments in Unreal using Quixel Megascans to get a feel for it. Why? The biggest reason is it's free. When you're ready to create your own 3D models and characters, that's when it's time to learn Blender (free) or move onto Maya if you want to work at a VFX studio.

@@UltimateCerberus have you looked into unreal's modeling tools recently? I'm not going to claim they're on par with blender but they're being developed really quickly and for a lot of thing, yes you can 100% make assets right in engine. Now it even has support for creating skeletons and weight painting them right in engine. By no means would I call unreal on-par with blender yet in all regards but it's closer than you might think and with the speed unreal is developing (and the seemingly endless budget behind it), i won't be surprised if that gap keeps getting more and more small. As someone who works with both at the moment, being able to switch over to just working in unreal and cutting out exporting from blender, then importing in unreal is worth it in a lot of cases. Now , if you're working in a bigger team with a dedicated artists who prefers blender, i'm not gonna scold them for that, they can prefer blender, maya, C4D, whatever but as a solo creator, having it all in 1 place is sweet
