My name is Gabriel Paiva and I have been an Unreal Engine Authorized Instructor for Epic Games for the last 3 years. I have more than 20 years of experience doing and supervising VFX for Cinema and Television. For the last 2 years I've served as a TA, Mentor, Instructor and Content Creator for the Unreal Engine Fellowship for Virtual Production. Performing all those roles I found out that the most optimal way of responding to doubts or enquiries from Fellows was through small form videos that I fondly called "Toots" because of their quick and raw nature. No editing, no bullet point slides, just me hitting record and pouring out the best answer in my knowledge in the plainest and simplest way. In time the need for slightly longer formats took me to choosing a video platform to publish and share, and here I am. So subscribe and be amazed by what Unreal Engine can offer you. Let's learn, discuss and forge the future of Realtime experiences with Unreal Engine
It can, even actor wise with a post process material and stencil masks. But it would be from a different perspective. You need to be inside the post process volume. With the color correct volume the actor needs to be in the volume.
That is simple, even with just PCGs. This way you can suggest a particular order. Think of a path that you need to vary just a tad on the border but maintain a empty path in the middle.
I found a way. I created a custom node where I set all points with density of 0.5. Than I randomly picked 10 points and set density to 1. Ofter my node I added a density filter. Now my PCG that generates enemies is complete
@Gabriel, This is AMAZING. I have been playing with it this week, and you beat me to it. YAY! Can you share the PCG Graph Blueprint please so we can have a look at it please. Thanks, Jeasy
Can we do this with, say a table? I for example we making a Tavern or Inn and we wanted to put some tables and chairs in the bar area. be nice to beable to make a table level and usew that so each table you add to you tanern is a little different, maybe even randomise the table types from square to round and different styles?
If you provide the retargeting assets for your “custom model” you can follow the same steps as me, but creating those assets are outside the scope of this tutorial.
El video está genial, muchas gracias. Tengo una consulta, realice la migración a un nuevo proyecto, salta, corre, camina, todo bien... pero cuando quiero que salte un obstáculo, haga "climb" o "vault" no lo hace, sabes a que se debe esto? Saludos.
Yes, on their own they will not be super awesome because they are very focus on being useful for fame movement and not cinematics. Although you can record a character with this gamemode while paying and then use that captured animation in any cinematic.

Interesting, but this is not the type of animation sharing, I was expecting. In UE there is a plugin called Animation Sharing which allows you to use the same animation state on multiple character instances for performance optimization (crowd rendering).
It may be me not having followed closely but it looks like you forgot to mention that in project settings you have to activate "Allow Static Lighting". Nice video
If it's not working for you, what worked for me was disconnecting the Make PhysicsControlTarget node, and in the Make PhysicsControlData node I set Linear Strength to 1.0. Not sure why it defaults to zero for me.
I keep having this issue, when I use Look at Aim in control in the post animation graph the eyes always look half down or one eye up and one eye down - super frustrating. Any fixes?
I tried using GPU lightmass, but i received an error "Your GPU dont support GPU lightmass" My video card is an RX5500Xt 8gb How will I be able to bake the lights?

This is great. Thanks for sharing. Is there any way to easily add all the Character Options that the City Sample crowds have, such as clothing pattern options?
Please, Can I ask you why if I use extracted hair from metaHuman in another custom mesh , they appers totally transparent if I plug their material on the cards?
