COMPLETE UNREAL ENGINE 5.3 VDB PIPELINE 

VDB Material is already IN Engine, check this Video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A3auSSKOAdw.html Also after some research I found out few useful CVARs for heterogeneous volume: r.HeterogeneousVolumes.IndirectLighting 1 - makes SKYLIGHT affect volume. Looks much better. r.HeterogeneousVolumes.MaxTraceDistance 0-1000000 values in cm change visibility distance. So your Volume won't fade away.

a smart artist is who always try to find work-arounds when the tool does not provide a way for it you just did that amazingly well, genius i'm glad i found your channel

Thanks for sharing and the straight to the point, no nonsense explanation:) The F1 Red Bull takes look really dope. The fx sounds also at a lot to the experience !

Mate, the console parameters, the workaround, material setup, you really tackled it all. Great video! I need the 5.3 upgrade for VDB.

That’s what i waiting for

Your channel is a gold mine, thanks a lot for your work !

Wow, this is awesome! Thanks for sharing workflow and tricks

thanks so much for sharing, it's really awesome to get these clean workflows!

Very cool, very timely, very informative. Thank you

WOW!!! Much needed tutorial for the next step of my car short animation😍😍 Thankyou 😃

You are a genius! Thanks for another awesome tutorial!

awesome tutorial, cool tricks and valuable experience, thank you bro!

This is amazing!! Looks great! 🔥🔥

Beast mode as always thanks man 🤙🏽💯

Gold! Love this dude!!

Finally you uploaded it

Awesome explanation as usual, and thanks for the shout out :)

Great teacher, much luv.

You did it again! ❤️✅👑

This is really dope stuff

Thanks for Sharing!

Thank you for this. keep it up bro!

Thank you bro i needed attach to time line the vdb

Brilliant!

I've just seen the first 20 seconds, and this is incredible haha, I'm trying to learn EmberGen together with the new UE5.3 VDB pipeline to create a sequence of a car drifting around in circles and then your video poped up in my subscription feed. 😂👌

You superhero, posting the BPrint in the description! Thank you! Subbed

Well done! Many thanks

A little tip: If you ever lose track of an asset in a huge environment, you can always left double-click on it under the Outliner, this will instantly transport your view to that asset. It's so simple it's almost stupid, but it can save you a lot of time in some cases :D

Thanks for the pro tips. Thanks for the pinned tips. Esp on visibility distance. Cheers

Amazing explaination brother and thanks for the shout really appreciate it! 🤙🏿💪🏿

20 thumbs up my good man!

Great work man. Thanks for sharing this. As a Houdini professional I hated Unreal for so long for it’s inability to be used for rendering FX. I tried plugins and version 5.1 native import and it looked awful. But if this new 5.3 import VDB thing really works I will be thrilled as its the best renderer out there for sure. I will give it a try.

Thank you buddyy

This is great! Have you found a way to match up the coordinate systems between UE and other apps when the sim isn't happening at world 0 (e.g. C4D pyro)?

thank's bro. it's help me a lot

i feel bad watching this whitout paying for that much informations.... what a good tutorial !

Great, just what I needed, thanks. If someone is as stupid as me and looking at this at 4am and not seeing the proper stuff in the instance materials it's because you need to set the parent to be the actual material. I was getting very upset with myself lol.

Thank you !

Love it, how did you make the vdb follow the car when it spinned?

Great video, I was searching for how to export animation from sequencer to houdini. I am exporting a car animation from unreal to houdini but the wheel doesn't move in houdini although I did the bake transforms, I did the car rig from your other video but I noticed that you use blueprint car. Any suggestions to take the animation of wheels in the fbx?

You are amazing Brat(Bro in Russian).....

Need more interesting tutorials ❤

I am lazy like you @postprocessed 😅 but for some reason the vbd master material fine is not showing up in my project after copying it in to the project folder. All 3 files do not register when I run ue5. Any idea what could be causing it? Thanks

sadly when I add my inst material to a heterogenous volume, it just looks black the whole volume gets filled with black, and im using the Fire Plume vbd from embergen. any help here? i treird importing it using your settings, I have your material that you gave to download, and created a new material instance from it so it should work perfectly. not sure what im doing wrong?

amazing tutotrial! I just have one question, is there anyway to import the vdb sequence to the right location without having to place it manually?

This is amazing! Thank you for another great tutorial. Also, were you able to figure out the car rigging issue we had with the wheel rotation? We had to use 5.0 to use that rig as it was not working out in the later versions of UE5. You have made the formula 1 video in 5.3, is that issue fixed now?

Can you share the car in the case of binding, how to bake the binding animation to the car，distance traveled coordinates cannot be recorded at this time ，I need to import houdini to work，Hope the teacher can answer it

your tutorials are excellent :)

This is fantastic, thank you! Have you had issue with it not rendering out of MRQ using oath tracer? It just crashes for me.

In my animation sequence some of my cloud VDBs i got from Embergen are flickering when using the Pathtracer. Is there a fix for this? And also when i use the default Lit mode the VDBs get invisible if i move a certain distance back from them how can I fix this issue?

Hello, my teacher! I'm asking you a question because there's something I can't do while studying today. I did a simple animation of a car made of blueprints and bake. A key was created for each frame on the sequence track. But I found it Just in case, I tried exporting it to fbx and taking it to 3dmax but it didn't move. I'm using the Cinematic Car rig plug-in that is being sold on the marketplace. Can you tell me what the problem is?

Good day! Do you know of anyone/anywhere that gives a 110% tutorial on what settings to use during export (and the settings' meaning)? Also, I'm looking for some help on the actual settings (8,16,32 bit, what controls to export, what values to use in UE5 as a good starting point, etc.) to get these things to show up properly. I can't tell you how much time that I have wasted just tweaking things without knowing what I'm doing to hopefully get to an end result. There are also several VDB materials out there (Self made and the on in UE5) that all seem to work a little different from each other. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Please tell me, I animated the rocket with two keys, the first Key Interpolation was Cubic(Auto), and the last Liner, in general, I'm trying to attach a fire with smoke to the rocket, but I have a fire with smoke, it lags behind the rocket in time or vice, probably there is another interpolation throughout Embergen and it does not coincide with the movement rockets, it's difficult to do it correctly since the rocket accelerates slowly at the start, and does not take off linearly from the ground, you can write down a lesson on how to make synchronization at the output so that everything docks correctly, I think it would be useful for many to know

Bro,How to drop the shadow in Lit mode?Only see the shadow in Path tracing mode

Hey thankx for this VDB tut . iam following your tutorial and pushing my self 1 step ahead everyday, its amazing that unreal is supporting VDB. iam using vdb clouds in landscape scene which is pretty big , when i my camera goes far from vdb it start to cutout like , distance culling , i tried everything but i dont find any solution . any idea about this .

Make a gun fight scene with effects like muzzle fire bullet blast effects etc like in reality.

after exporting, my fbx file does not open, not houdini and not c4d do not know what this is related to? I did everything as in the video lesson

👍

Hello frien, I´m trying to get the export sequence of camera and a flying plane, but even with bake, the movement isn´t exporting

I think someone and I have encountered the same problem, using the spline to achieve the blueprint animation can not bake transformation, export FBX will not produce animation, may I ask you how to do it, maybe you did not use the spline in this animation to drive the blueprint animation is it?

What about fluids bro? Please explain how to import flips from houdini to unreal engine 5

Hello, there is a problem. I used Houdini to export the vdb to ue, but the vdb may shake. How can I solve this problem

I tried to export VDB from 3d max using Phoenix FD, I specified 200 frames in the timeline and after importing in an Unreal engine, I had shaking on some frames, what could it be? and how is the correct of all frames was smooth? I had a type NTSC ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XzbVryIpiJs.html I tried not to bake the animation, but to export it, and it was exported baked by default, so it makes no sense to bake it twice)

what is the process for explosion or just normal fire?

lazy you say... you mean working efficiently HA... downloading now

Hello, I am using Unreal 5.1. But when I use path tracing, the car glass disappears. Do you know why?

When I import the VDB sequence, the list under Source Grid Info is so long that it reaches the Import button and bugs it out. I cannot click on the Import button whatsoever. My VDB sequence was created in Blender.

Hm, looks like I am not the only one with issues matching the transforms of the VDB. To me it looks like it places the pivot on top of the volume, instead of the bottom. I sim with phoenix FD in 3ds max, doing the axis flip didn´t fix it and I simply couldn´t figure out how to place it correctly. Tried all sorts of things, like just copy pasting the translation values form max to unreal, switching pls/minus on exis etc. But scale also was completely randomly off, I had to downscale the volume to like 0.3 in Unreal. For some vers specific stuff, like the wheel, you can probably eyeball it, but if you have particles emitting, its near impossible to just match it uo like that. So, if anybody finds a solution to this, would be very interested... I don´t think I can move the pivot of my sim in 3ds max, but even that wouldn´t help, if the scale was randomly off... In the end I´ll probably just have to learn niagara, I haven´t really pushed VDB quality, highest I tried so far was just 25mill voxel sim, which is still rather lores in terms if smoke sims. And that quality pretty much matches what I´ve seen from niagara fluids....

When a VDB asset has a transparent material resource (such as glass) around it, the VDB file will see the transparent material asset directly,how to dispose.

how to do the same thing in blender,

how to download city ?

The car is bound to the spline and there is no animation after baking

Is it just me or the quality of vfb in UE is nowhere near what they look like in Ember Gen, especially bare fire? Great tutorial regardless!

Unreal Engine 5.3 might be amazing but there almost no marketplace assets that you can use.. same even for 5.2 :/

What is VDB?

But manually scale and transform is volume to match the wheel is not optimum….and it’s not accurate..

your material doesnt really make sense. You're importing Attribute A only on R channel but you're using G channel to be applied on the extinction pin. It's pulling nothing from the G channel. Also, Unreal does read temperature and other attributes. You just need to know how to use it in the material.

I haven't seen this video yet but I'm going to guess that this won't work for me. Let's see if I'm right! yeah this is a joke. I have a burnt-looking VDB cloud that won't light in any remotely useful way. Not your fault, Epic's.

Overall is really boring to see vdb volume, hope unreal improve implementation

Hey thanks for this, has any of this changed with 5.4.1?

Trying to import the scene via this meathod into blender and my characters mesh gets wripped off the rig and his transform doesnt change. any tips for a blender pipeline?
