modeling tools need to be developed more aggressively inside unreal, the back and forth is very draining as an artist. Sometimes it even end our day. Great progress, its already a game changer.

AS a programmer, I think the modeling tools are pretty cool. I don't have to export from Blender all the time to get the desired look I want. UE is really becoming a decent all in one tool.

Great work guys :) I love using the editor more.

Yesterday I were able to test the modeling tool and it definitely has great potential as we know have the opportunity to model everything inside UE. However, it still needs some improvements so that the modeling tool will replace other DCCs for me in the future. One improvement would be to expand the grid size by millimeter units, so we're able to do more precise/real scale modeling. Another improvement would be to be able to type in the units to move, scale and rotate vertices/edges/faces in the desired axis.

I'd love to see a demo of making solid walls for that Medieval Village Quixel did so they can be made into enterable building

Can we use geometry tools to create geometries at runtime ? With Distance field support for lumen.

This is very inspiring for a want-to-be creator. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

The Burning Manverse :) This is pretty awesome, coming from a 3dsMax/Blender/Zbrush background, would love to see the UI be more fluid for preferred tools, ideally with a radial menu in the viewport. Thanks Epic.

Thank you for this video, it was incredibly helpful!

The modelling tools are great. But i can see that the efficiency and the speed with which i can model stuff, i am not able to do out of the box. I wish it would reach the level of where umodeler is right now. But this is a really good way to model things right inside unreal. Epic you guys are amazing

The modellers are not to replace DCC like Maya and Blender, but to make quick edits in engine to lower round-tripping between tools.

​@@Kinos141 I guess the modeling tool inside UE will replace other DCCs in some kind in the future, especially if you're planning to create UE based content. Blender is great, no question, but there are currently lacks of intuitive and fast usability in terms of unwrapping and baking workflows. Things you won't have to bother with anymore if you model everything within the game engine. On the other side, in Blender you've a better and more precise control in modeling your assets then within UE atm.

Super exiting part of unreal! The day I can leave maya behind is a good day. I'm going to watch the progress with Joy.

Amazing as usual!

Absolutely beautiful work ❤️👍❤️👍

Guys, how to make the mesh from the modelling mode filled inside? I am tryin to make a collision shape out of modelling mode mesh and overlapping only works on edges of the mesh. When i use a cube from Modelling mode it tracks collision inside correctly, but if move or extrude any polygon it becomes hollow for the processor I know that polygons are always hollow, but there mush be some way to make the volume inside, in case of collision

Is there a way with these new tools to apply the material to the poly group that we select?

@Simon-iq1yl

2 жыл бұрын

Haven't got UE5 open, some names might be slightly different but the MatEd modeler tool allows you to select by polygroup, then you can set one of the materials on the mesh as the active material and click "Assign to Material".

If they make it function like Maya, I'm sold.

Do you think I should use blender or other 3d modeling tools for modeling and import into UE5? Any opinion?

This is insane, all these incredible tools right inside the engine... I can't believe it.... I just wish the hotkeys were as "flowing" as blender's. Wonder if I can make the hotkeys the same for all practical purpose, hmm.

1:15:57 - THANK YOU RUSSEL

I am curious about what version of UE does tutorial used? I am using 5.0.3 to follow this tutorial. However, the 'Cast to StaticMesh' will give me a warning: ' Static Mesh does not inherit from Actor'. It will cause to my utility do not work. If anyone could give me a hand on this? Thanks a lot!

All you'd really be giving up are the shortcuts and ease-of-use features that Blender, Max, or Maya have built into their programs. There are some things that are just easier to do still using your favorite 3d application, but that's not to say Unreal Engine can't close those gaps as they improve this feature.

56:35 Geometry scripting with blueprints and python? Is it not possible with C++?

@RyanSchmidtEpic

2 жыл бұрын

geometry scripting is a Blueprints and Python wrapper around our much larger and more capable C++ geometry library. So in C++ you have more power. All Geometry Script functions are just UFunctions so they can technically also be called in C++.

Unreal vastly improved their modeling tools, before Unity added any at all.

@Deadener

Unity has had ProBuilder since 2017 (which does most of the things these tools do). I also use RealtimeCSG, a free plugin that does boolean based geometry, using an algorithm that's about 20 years ahead of Unreal's BSP. While these tools are a great start, Epic is still way behind on in-editor geometry.

The transcript seems to be off by 5 or so minutes

Geometry Script should be really developed to something like Blender Geometry Nodes, Blueprints have the potential, so why not.

If you need a quick wall then UE modeling is ok, but for most other modeling I use Maya…

Could this tool be compared as a substitute for blender? As a perfect substitute? How?

@t3hpwninat0r

2 жыл бұрын

not a perfect substitute, but perfect for prototyping or blocking out levels. you can make a level that looks roughly like how you want it and see how fun it is, see if you like how your idea works in practise, quickly make changes as you go and then when you're happy, export the meshes into blender to use as template for a high quality replacement asset with the same dimensions (or pass it on to an experienced 3D artist to do that for you). you can even keep the mesh that was created in UE to be used as the collision mesh. of course you don't ever have to replace the asset with a "better" one, you can use it as it is for a game demo and modelling this way is great for low poly art style too.

make it like sketchup usability - easy and fast prototyping with few standard hotkeys

I teach a video game design class and I am considering scrapping Maya and just using this for all 3d modeling. I wonder what the downside of that might be? Especially for architecture and props. Maybe still do complex things like weapons in Maya?

The integrated modelling tools are nice to throw together some simple objects or do block outs e.t.c Maybe make minor adjustments to meshes without having to switch tools. But I wouldn't use them as a replacement for a dedicated modelling package. Maybe in the future they get there but for now I wouldn't.

The team should be focusing on most commonly used, speed and ease of use. Not these rarely used, complicated things.

i started the video and already my eyes hurt. Maybe scaling the UI up wouldn't be a bad idea.

Before there can be any reasonable degree of modeling productivity inside the engine, the complete basics such as viewport navigation and selection need to be tackled first. Things like proper focus based panning, more stable orbiting, or ability to select multiple elements by mere left mouse button click dragging. While UE5 has a modern editor, it's viewport interaction is still stuck in 90's, and that severely hurts its potential as a modeling software. No matter how many buttons and features there are, if the viewport navigation and interaction basics aren't done right, the modeling tools in the engine will remain just a gimmick.
