At this point, every major update of UE can be considered a "game changer". They're really shaking up the industry in a good way

This update is basically a blessing for Indie Game Devs

Just wow. The original 'Unreal Tournament' team sure has come a long way 😅

Saying it again...I have never used Unreal Engine and I won't anytime soon, but I LOVE these videos by Unreal Sensei. Getting to see all the cool stuff coming down the pipe is exciting and puts a lot of love into making these. 10/10 RU-vid content creator.

I watched this video 5.4 times already to truly understand how great Unreal 5.4 is (motion design was added)

Little but important tip about making normal maps. You should always try to make them more intense than intended in the texture creating process and then in the shader scale the intensity down again. Normal maps are usually stored in images with 8 bit precision per channel, so if you have a very subtle normal map the data precision will not be enough for the transitions between differently angled normals to look good and you will end up with visible discontinuities. In the shader, after sampling the normal map you are usually working with 32bit float or 16bit half precision so at that point there's no precision problem when you try to make the normal map look more subtle again by scaling its intensity.

I swear UE out here doing God's work with all these insane tools

your ue5 beginner tutorial was Awesome! you should definitely do a UE5.4 Specific Beginner tutorial!

R.I.P. Unity

Could you make a video tutorial focused on animation? I'm learning Unreal mainly to make short films, and it would be super helpful to have a video that goes over the basic concepts: How to add a Metahuman, animate their movement, make them talk, and export it with the Sequencer correctly. You are the best Unreal Engine teacher on RU-vid, and having a video from you more focused on animation and movie creation would be wonderful. Thank you very much!

11:48 hoping they continue the performance improvements in terms of traversal stuttering. We haven’t seen any games on the latest version of UE with technologies like direct storage but I hope eventually it gets ironed out and we see UE games that run as flawlessly as horizon forbidden west does (in terms of traversal stutter and frametime performance, in which that game does a phenomenal job of for the size of its world especially).

I've learned the newest UE5.4 features in less than 13 minutes, wow! :) No wonder this channel is called Unreal Sensei! Thanks, sensei.

I love how you explain complex things so clearly. Thanks a lot!

Thank you I highly recommend both his free course and masterclass. Time and money well spent to quickly learn unreal.

What are the chances? I just finished your Castle beginner course few minutes ago and you uploaded 😅

I'm simply amazed by the rapid development. I think it would he fascinating to see their company behind the scenes.

Love seeing your video updates for UE. Always exciting new changes.

You ALMOST don't need any other software now. I love what they're doing, its going to allow ordinary people to easily make AAA looking games in engine, on their own PC. Thats what its moving towards.

those updates are so huge! :D great work guys! will be a lot of fun explore new functions

Awesome video! Ugh!!! Motionmatching finally!! Cant wait to learn it! Meta sounds too! Def gonna need a tutorial on good meta sounds

One of the best showcased videos for UE5.4!. Thank you!

So much better than the official overview video! Wish Epic would push your video around - so many features simply won't reach the people who could use them because they aren't explained well enough - or worse, not even mentioned! I read the blog post and watched a few videos but it wasn't until i viewed the UE5 5.4 roadmap that i saw Texture Generation and a silly amount of other stuff that I wasn't aware of. You also explained motion matching far better than I've had it explained before. I really appreciate the practical examples - like the displacement + brick texture combo. I'm wondering if switching from Blender to Unreal for Weight Painting, Bone placement, Rigging, and animation might be the way to go instead of learning how to do it in Blender now.

Amazing, thanks for this video that summarizes the changes!

This is the most useful and direct video I have ever watched! Straight to the strong points!

Awesome update! Thanks for the summary! 😄

I have always been expecting your video,it just hypes me for everything new release

Thanks for the great updates Sensei, this is soo amazing!

Best explanations as always!

Thank you, Unreal Sensei!

I just love your videos, man. Thank you A TON for keeping us updated on all this cool stuff. This is just amazing.

Thanks for this. I always appreciate your videos

@blenderguru would be so proud😁😁😁

very instructive! Thanks a lot!

This is super interesting for future video's and animations. Thanks for sharing!

Sensei .!! Where you have been so far.? 😢. Missed your videos a lot. You are one of the amazing content creator so far. ❤

Doughnut tutorial in Unreal 5.4! That's all I need :D

I swear it only gets more awesome, cannot wait to see what is next

Thank you! Great video! UE just keeps getting better and better!!

thanks so much for your time

Thanks, Sensei!

I feel like this title isn't even clickbait because it's literally true

I am glad you've posted this as I am a student of your masterclass. I was playing around in 5.4, following your advanced landscaping tutorial, but when it came time to implement the absolute world height. 5.4 simply refused to acknowledge the code. For some reason, the Absolute World Height doesn't seem to work. At least, it didn't for me. I'd be interested in hear what experiments you've done and what bugs you've found. Cheers

I updated yesterday and the bugs I was dealing with 5.3 are gone and the performance is MUCH better like it gives me so much confidence 😅

유익한 정보 감사합니다.

Mindblowing 🤯

Thanks for this amazing video!!!

Wow, well done, I don't even do anime creation with UnE, but just fell in love with it, wanna learn it right away.

Can 1650ti run it ? 😢

I've followed all your videos and been aching to get started with Unreal, but I never had time to get into it. Will you make a new "Beginners" video for brand new users of Unreal, now that 5.4 is releasing?

Much love dude. Subscribed.

This is making me wanna continue to learn how to use UR5. This truly is sm incredible creative tool for any artist!

First challange: get a high end pc

Every unreal engine update is a game changer.

As always thanks Sensei ! Did you see what star citizen engine team achived with server merging do you expect that to happen in unreal as well and how long will that take apprx. ?

Your hard work will get you to the top keep on ❤❤❤

Hopefully Unreal in the future implements RBD destruction sims so I don't need to learn Houdini 🥴

every update is labeled as "game changer" and when they finally release people claim its rife with bugs and issues

Looking forward (gratefully) to the update to the auto landscape material to work with the nanite tessellation implementation tweaks in 5.4! I’ve noticed that displacement has stopped working and foliage doesn’t respect paint layers? Love your work, dude. Appreciate it

Really good explanations. Well done.

I wish they would step back and start working on ways to allow smaller systems to render bigger areas, i hate poppins, and theres alot of that in current games

Awesome video! I’m so glad they made these changes. I was learning how to create animated characters after making my environment. I quit shortly there after because blender is imo a complete mystery. I’m going to check out your tutorial videos because I’m super interested in learning more about UE. Thanks 🙏🏻

You are a genius 👏, great work on your tool

UNREAL IS USING BLACK MAGIC AGAIN!!!!!

Baldurs gate 4 is gonna be crazy

the new Substance ''like'' texture creation looks promising? Any chance to have a video tutorial regarding this tool in the future? :)

Simply amazing. What a time to create.

I bet this needs a nuclear power station

0:23 what a shit design

smart move to recreate/improve what other software can do and bring it within the engine and make it accessible to all

Incredible...like seriously. I feel inspired to want to make something it's utterly gripping!

The guy says the same crap every update

woooo .. I love this software , its amazing and thank you.

Will you upload any updates on these features? + Is it on your master class? cause if it is... I'm definitely buying it.

I've been using unreal pretty much since UE4 came out and I'm not gonna lie this is maybe the biggest update ever (with the exception of ue4 to ue5) at least in terms of workflow optimization. Being able to texture, model, and animate in engine is crazy, and if the audio tool improvements keep coming unreal might quickly actually be the only software you need to make a full game soon!

Great info and video!

This is a really great summary!

Very impressive changes. Unreal is getting better so fast.

Super solid video. Thanks!

Cant wait to play with all of these new features. so sick.

Thanks for the video! Do you think the Motion Design features can be used in gameplay? for example the modifiers or cloners, like using it inside a blueprint in realtime and not only on Cinematics?

Nice tools, good luck to have them working

This is making things so much better for solo indie devs like me!

I remember playing the original Unreal Tournament back in 1999. It was my favorite PC shooter. Flak Cannon for the win!

Cool. Does the control rig have mirroring options when posing. Kinda thing you'd need when animating a walk cycle for example.

Got a question please? What is more valuable and usable into the future, an actual 6 axis robot arm for product video etc or deep diving into UE 5.4 and doing it virtually, importing product shots and building backgrounds and spaces etc? Question: Can you take a photo of some one or something and import it to UE and convert to 3D?

Wow this unreal engine is really getting advanced, like seriously wow 😮

You the Man! Thanks for this Sensei!!

this is crazy, i remember 15 years ago teaching myself after effects cause I loved film and editing but a degree was too expensive so i made it a hobby instead and this made everything look easy... i remember waiting 12 hours to render something, then it not look the way i wanted and start over... damn we've come along way.

Will you be doing an updated introduction tutorial to Unreal Engine with this new update?

AMAZING!!!

Absolutely amazing!

Incredible!!!

Are Blueprints getting any speed improvements? I'd like to implement a turn-based battle system with quite a few formulas and checks but I just can't seem to get around C++.

Will you make an updated tutorial with all these new systems?, or does the old one still work.

Every year we are closer to having more and more Indie devs able to produce AAA-quality games effortlessly with fewer members required.

I remember doing many of these things like procedural effects, textures in 3DS Max 20 years ago.

At this point, all Unreal needs is a FULL 3D MODELING SUITE and then its essentially "Game Over" for everyone else.

Wow. Fantastic this is what I'm waiting for

Great Video! Are these 500+ animations available already anywhere?
