I'm the Director of 3D Digital Design Department at the Rochester Institute of Technology www.rit.edu/study/3d-digital-design-bfa
My focus is Epic Games: Unreal Engine. I teach Interactive (real time) 3D Graphics: Unreal, Maya, and Zbrush, and some next gen User Interface and interactive (Virtual / Augmented Reality, Arduino + Sensors), UI/UX, XR, LiDAR (photogrammetry) and Virtual Production.
This RU-vid channel is dedicated toward "flipping" many of my classroom activities - so students can review technical activities outside of the classroom. This frees up lecture for greater focus on design and lab for more focused questions.
I have also published other Unreal tutorial series 2 on Pluralsight 3 course certificate: edX
it feels like i missed an episode. i've never touched a developer program up til, like a few days ago, but worse yet, i've only just downloaded a mesh creating program because of this video. i'm going to have to come back to these.
i did this but without ladders just put my volumes infront of vines it wasnt working cause my box was at an angle in game they need to be straight up if you want to do this way
Great tip, one quick question do you know if there is a way of having your physics sim / cloth simulation at the same time that you can manipulate your control rig controls? Im animating the face of a Character and I want some dynamic chains that im using with cloth sim on the necklace to colide and move when I move the controls of the neck and head, but seems the sym can one run after I hit play (and the controls dissapear) or I can move the controls but the symulation stops. Thank you very much!
Tint is not considered the right jargon. Tint is only to add white, shade is to add black. Unreal also offers the workflow of na ORM (texture with 3 channels) that can be used to add metallic/occlusion and roughness.
I get what you're saying about tint. It's obviously more than that. RE: ORM - I have tutorials on texture packing. Sounds like you're beyond this level - This was an intro tutorial! ;-)
Would love if you uploaded the model. Can't seem to get the UVs on the one I made to work the same as yours, so the grooves aren't in radial patterns like yours.
I would like to - I’ve been rather wrapped up in artificial intelligence and machine learning this last year, but I’m going to push hard into Unreal and UEFN again this summer
Not 100% certain - I checked documentation and didn't see anything - but found someone commenting on a forum that they thought Unreal supported Alembic Caches for mobile
Hi, I have been losing my mind to make cloth simulation work in sequencer, still couldn`t do it, basically I am trying my character to drag a long cape behind him. do you have any idea about how this can be achieved?
cool , Do you know about "light function" with video? I have been trying but at the time of packaging the project, the lights disappear an i don't know why.. it happen only with video, it works with images.
about socket snapping. how can you position the socket precisely to a vertex? I Alt+v enabled vertex snap and it allows me to position socket to a vertex but it's not 100% precise. so on the level, when snap one object to another, there might be a gap. however, if i use vertex snap,no issues. I'm just wondering how those modular asset creators manage to position the socket so precisely.
Thanks so much for the video! Have you ever run into particles moving WAY too fast when rendering? I know that it has something to do with using Temporal AA. If so, have you found a good work around for this while still being able to use AA?
Hi Shaun, I tried it in third person and it worked, the only problem is that the character turns around while climbing the stairs, how can I fix this, thank you.
Hey I am noticing when I key an static mesh object in sequencer, and then set physics to activate when it's positioned where I like it, the simulation doesn't work when I render. The object seems to just vibrate in place as it slowly slowly falls. I notice that this is consistent with a transform track being present, whether I have keys anywhere on it earlier or if its empty. Is it not possible to initiate physics simulation this way from what you've learned?
cannot understand when you say the hotkeys, you should really show something visual what keys they are. I have no clue what the hotkey for the tint was. try listening to what you said 10 times... I give up.
@@ShaunFoster thanks, the 3 key I heard, but then you delete the node and say we need to use something else (and this part can not be heard). Anyways, I found another tutorial and the 3 vector node code be used, so I do not understand why you say in your video it could not?
this is a breath of fresh air in the sea of UE tutorials I have watched recently , as I'm banning my head against wall trying to understand world partition, hlod ,RVTs and all the tech puzzle that squeezed every drop of morale in me.😵💫
Hi just watched your tut, i have a few issues. First off i find i have to jump onto ladder as walking up to it does nothing and when on ladder it auto climbs and you can fall off sideways easy
Am new to this. And just at the start you say hold 3 click That does nothing for me. So toke me awhile to find the correct constant3vector that was needed. How come my short cuts do not work for some and others do ?? would that be keyboard regional related ?
You shouldn't use a bind unless you can avoid it. Using a Bind basically creates a small function that uses fires on every Tick. As a rule, if you can avoid using a tick driven event, you should.
Is there no simpler ways to animate a static mesh in Unreal Engine 5? Coming from Unity, the amount of things you have to do to animate something basic as a cube bouncing or spinning with animation just seems a bit strange designed for UE 5. I see that the animator is very powerful in Unreal but for simple things it seems a bit clunky unless im missing something to animate static meshes easily with keyframes like in Unity.
Will continue my hunt but sofar I have not find any tutorials that animate static meshes and save them as reusable animations. Im basicly going to animate a box that in one animation might swing in another it stabs etc. @@ShaunFoster
Thank you! any idea why a picked up objects will show in the sequencer, but will not show up in the final render? They all work as they should during gameplay. But they do not show up in the final render PNG sequence when item is picked up.
Hi Thomas- I did a cloth in sequencer tutorial- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UgGa2KpJI2E.htmlsi=sdqjZkb4cU4iDFkA. RE: sequencer / play mode question - use play mode - to see it in action
Question I am taking a time to solve is simple, but what if you need to spawn objects in a sequence and access each, and set their transform, for example?
Hi! First of all, thanks for the tutorial! I have a noob question, how can I make possible for the player to jump whlie he is on the ladder? Thanks in advance!
