Absolutely underrated channel! Really admire you doing these alongside working day job in the industry. Huge respect and keep them coming!

You are a godsend man🙏🏼 Always good to teach yourself how to do everything but helping like this is everything💪🏼

Yes please. More rendering tips especially in regards to console variables and AOVs. Also suggest adding 2 additional Settings 1 Color Output and make sure Disable Tone Curve is enabled if you are rendering in Nuke so all your outputs are Linear. 2 Game Overrides to ensure all settings are at maximum quality

This tutorials is gonna change my life lol. I've been hassling with art directing fog for year, thanks a lot

Exceptional to find someone sharing this thank you man

It was a eye opening video to know how much further we can push UE when it comes to film making 😊 and definitely we like if you can talk about the movie render queue settings in detail for the future videos 👍🏻

that Gobo trick is awesome.. thanks!

Great tutorial and thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Cool vid Josh, I use UEs AOVs and it’s great to see the perspective of someone else using them in production on YT (pretty rare), thanks for sharing!

This channel is very soon goign to be the most well-known channel. amazing content

Great stuff josh

Great info! Thanks!

great tips, and yes - i need more :D

nice stuff

In new to unreal as of 2 days ago watched a whole 5 hour tutorial and I get all of what was shown but obviously remember it all so it's nice to save the video to a playlist so I can reference. Came across ur stuff and Love it ovs. But I wanted to suggest a few things for future consideration. A full how to export using passes for dummies tutorial so we can render passes properly and even use in after effects which lost of c4 users use. I know this covers some of that but even those menus you were going to are forgin to a beginner. I think you will benifit from this because of all the re-watches you will get from us new guys. I haven't check yet but if you had a full workflow video with camera animation and things that would be sick. Where I got stumped in unreal 5 for this tutorial is loading the camera lens and fog material. I wouldn't let me load either. Ovs cuz Im not familiar but for furture users we would love to get setup with a tutorial on how to set these things up to migrate with future projects. Thanks for this tut love u bro!

Interesting! Do make a tutorial on AOVS !

Thank you for the tutorial. How does the light shafts settings (occlusion and bloom) in the Directional light affect the godrays, and do you use them?

Very interesting video, i've learned cool new tricks! Only thing bothering me is the lag in the video, maybe use a capture card on a second computer laptop to capture and record the screen? :)

Would be awesome to hear more about aov's

Great video mate… Def make aov video pretty please 🤙

Another fire ass tutorial for you would have to be using Nuke as a beginner but only for compositing from unreal. Cuz I know after effects can't do some of the motion tracking nice like your showing.

Incredibile

hey you have a bulbasour in background , cool.

Fantastic Tuts! The Gobo Texture is making the lumen scene dark, so I am not getting the indirect lighting. Is there any fix for that?

Am waiting for your nuke sweeting series what template you use....or how you composite in nuke....something like live action r more detail nuke comping series...thanks in advance

Love the use of passes in unreal as it’s a difficult thing to do compared to other render engines Have you found a way in the render queue to automate the turning off of lights to get just the volume light? Ideally like other software, if your rendering out 20 shots you kinda just wanna add them to the que and tick on a fog pass, but I know unreal is a long way from auxiliary passes let alone the core ones. Best case scenario in unreal duplicate those render jobs and add one cvar or some sorta tag code? that auto makes it isolate and render? I’ve found the stencil tools to be inconsistent, not work with some materials, and basically double the gps ram usage which on some shots just crashes everything.

Is there an other way then Nuke to assamble the tree passes from the Mr. FCreeze scene?

can someone tell me how can i create those hanging cables or whatever they are in UE

Can I ask you if its works independently of Ultra Dynamic Skies? Can I use it on that clouds that UDS generates or I'm only capable to use it with standard sky preset? Suposing I want a godrays from a cloud setup inside Ultradynamic.

@JoshToonen

11 ай бұрын

If you look at the components inside of Ultra Dynamic Sky you'll see they have their own Exponential Height Fog actor inside of it. Unreal will start to freak out if you have more than one in your scene, so it'd be best to modify UDS's!

Great video here. So with the fog quality command from the console, to render it like that will the MRQ use that editor setting or would you need to add as a console variable in the MRQ preset? Thanks.

MRQ will default to whatever your Level defaulted to on start up which is usually defined by the Scalability settings, so usually you’ll want to override it in your MRQ config everytime

How Can I add the downloaded material to my UE project?

fairly basic question. My volumetric light just defuses inside the scene I have got, I cant get god rays coming through. Not sure the scale of my model is right. How do I check I have imported witht he right scale?

@JoshToonen

10 ай бұрын

In orthographic view, If you middle mouse click you can measure the distance (in cm) or anything in your scene. Always make sure you have enough light, dense fog, and boost volume contribution in your light as a first resort

What are your PC Specs?

that "Cast Volumetric Shadow" if turned off, the way fog behave, mine one is still same even it is turned on, what could have I done wrong?

@darmelli954

Hey there, There are a bunch of things volumetric s aren’t compatible with unfortunatly. Common one is: If you have raytrace shadows on in your project, or enabled in your light that you want to cast volumetrics. You can disabled it under the shadow settings of your light, and if you still really need those nice raytrace shadows, duplicate the light, have one with raytrace and the other without, and the tiniest amount of light intensity but volume light scatter intensity at a really high number ( best of both worlds) Also in your height expo fog, you need to turn on volumetric fog Hope this helps

Hey Josh, My issue right now is twofold: 1. My God rays disappear when I look away from the light source 2. Objects still cast shadows when obstructed by larger objects. How do I fix these? Thank you!

@JoshToonen

3 ай бұрын

1) This *shouldn't* happen, but if it's noticeable maybe try bumping up the Volumetric Scattering intensity of your lights to help with this 2) You need your light to "cast volumetric shadows" to receive shadows, so if you want shadows check this on in the Details of your light, otherwise leave it off! You can force any object to stop casting shadows too in their details panel. hope that helps :D

Im having an issue. When i use the fog material my fog height seems to control my sphere. And its to an extremly aggresive levels. To the point where my camera cant even see anything but fog. Any suggestions on how to soften things up?

Weird, it was created in 5.1! Make sure you’re shining a light that has volumetrics boosted. If it lights up the rest of your fog, it should light up the material!

@@Benmac @TUSH4R51 It sounds like you might have ray traced shadows enabled? By default, volumetric fog does not work properly with ray traced shadows. Try turning off ray traced shadows in the project settings under "Rendering" (if they're on) and see if that fixes the issue. However! The new 5.3 update adds functionality for volumetric fog with ray traced shadows. You need to enable it with the following console variable: r.VolumetricFog.InjectRaytracedLights 1

Does this work with Path Traced Renders?

@JoshToonen

11 ай бұрын

Yes, it works exactly the same but there's no reason to render volumetrics in pathtracer. If you want your environment to be pathtraced, I'd still render the volumetrics in their own pass and composite them together, otherwise you'll probably get noisy renders.

paid for the material, downloaded the material, dragged it into unreal 5.3, it says failed to import. :/

Can any one help me with this please? I've recorded an artist against a green screen for a music video, which I then keyed out in After Effects and imported into Unreal Engine. In Unreal Engine, I added a camera and sequence to incorporate motion into the scene. However, I find that my compositing skills in After Effects are better than if I tired to composite in unreal engine, and I'd like to export only the green screen footage with the camera movements nd the same fore the scene without the green screen for further compositing work in After Effects. What is the most efficient method to achieve this? I've also created a short video to illustrate my request. Thank you for your assistance." kzread.info/dash/bejne/g5uu05p7ZMvdZaw.html
