Lighting a NIGHT-TIME exterior in Unreal William Faucher 2022-02-22 | Learn how to light night-time exterior environments. No RTX needed!The first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: https://skl.sh/williamfaucher02221Lighting night time scenes is tricky, but fortunately, with the help of decades of cinematography tricks to work with, we can break down how movies are lit, and apply those tricks to our own 3D environments. The fundamentals are the same, so it doesn't really matter which renderer you're using. I want to clarify that there are HUNDREDS of ways to light things, and this is only one way to do that. Feel free to share your own approach in the comments! You'll soon realize that moonlight is a fickle beast, but it can be tamed, and faking it, tricking the audience into believing something through good lighting is key. #unrealengineJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCGKjGGjdl-GzEcFPf1EQwqw/joinMusic by Epidemic SoundNihoni / Chapter 13 /Use my Epidemic Referral code! epidemicsound.com/referral/jiypx8---------------Timestamps:00:00 - Intro01:01 - Important Film Breakdowns04:33 - Skillshare05:35 - Getting Started06:27 - Sky Creation08:18 - Moonlight10:07 - Volumetric Fog17:03 - Skylight18:27 - Practical Lights19:44 - Fill Lights & Rim Lights24:02 - Lighting Channels27:19 - Recap & Breakdown28:37 - Additional Tips29:04 - Outro & Thanks ---------Cameras and Gear Used To Film This Video -------DISCLAIMER: This video/description contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I’ll receive a small commission.

The Key to Cleaner 3D Scans: Cross-Polarization William Faucher 2022-07-05 | Today’s tutorial teaches you everything you need to know about Cross-Polarization. The necessary hardware/gear, and why it matters. It is absolutely essential if you’re trying to scan an object that has a very shiny/reflective surface. Taking a look at the renders in Unreal Engine 5, it doesn’t take long to see the vast difference between the two approaches, the cross-polarized result is FAR superior.

Lighting in Unreal Engine 5 for Beginners William Faucher 2022-06-10 | Join me on Patreon! patreon.com/williamfaucherThis tutorial is for the beginners out there. Lighting is tricky. It's not always the most obvious thing to get right, and lighting in Unreal poses its own share of challenges on top of that. That's where this video comes in, where we'll learn all about the very fundamentals of light, what kind of lights are available to us, how they work, how to make of the most of them, followed by a deep explanation of how light behaves in the real world, and mimicking that in Unreal. Then we'll learn how to light an environment from total scratch, twice. Once for a daytime lighting, and a second time for an overcast, dark, moody day look.

Intro to UnrealReader - Nuke 13.2 William Faucher 2022-04-26 | Learn all about how to use Foundry's new UnrealReader node in Nuke 13.2. This amazing tool allows you to sync up Unreal Engine 5 or UE4 directly with Nuke X, Nuke Studio, Nuke Indie and Nuke Non-Commercial. In order to render out render passes such as z-depth, world position, world normals, base color, lighting, stencil layers, etc. It's an amazing tool with everything in the right place to make your life a whole lot easier when it comes to working with any renders coming out of Unreal.- Visit CG Spectrum if you want to learn Unreal Engine with the guidance of a mentor @ cgspectrum.com/learn-unreal-engine- Nuke Server Plugin: foundry.com/products/nuke/download/unreal-nuke-server- Request Linux dev build through Foundry Support: support.foundry.com/hc/en-usFAQ:Q: QuestionA: AnswerQ: I switch to a different Map and Nuke just hangs for a long time, and then finally renders an imageA: This could be because the shaders are still building in the map you’re trying to access from the UE project. If this is the case, switch to UE and you’ll likely see the Movie Render Queue rendering window showing a message along the lines of “building shaders”.Q: Some elements in my render (like smoke and sparks) look different to what is shown in UE’s viewport, and also change if I alter a UnrealReader setting on the same frame?A: Some of the physics/emitters in UE are non-deterministic (and may not have an option to be made deterministic), so individual renders from UnrealReader may not match. This can also apply to motion blur, or any post process items that use temporal / spatial samples.When using the UnrealReader node Write section render option to render the whole Sequence out to EXRs, the problem should not exist and the elements should be temporally correct. Q: I’ve created a new Camera in a level sequence using either the + Track button / right-click-on-left-area-of-panel - Actor to Sequencer, but in Nuke the UnrealReader doesn’t seem to render the correct thing, and the Camera tab shows 0,0,0 for the transform and rotation data (with no animation)?A: This is likely caused by a UE Level Sequence issue whereby adding a camera using this method to an existing Camera Cuts track will not bind the camera to that Camera Cuts track, even if the name of the camera is the same as the one you had before (and perhaps deleted).You need to click on the Camera Cuts + Camera button and rebind the camera you’ve just added.If there is no Camera Cut track to start with, then UE will do it correctly and bind it on creation, so there won’t be any issues as mentioned aboveQ: When I add a UnrealReader node initially it hangs Nuke for about a minute, then finally connects (beach ball on Mac, blue spinner on Windows)A: This can be one of two things. From experience when this has occurred, it tends to be that the port number being used has had some form of issue. First try changing to a new port in both Nuke and Unreal. If a new port fails, restart your computer to try and clean up the ports.It can also be due to the number of Maps/Sequences in a UE project being very large, which can mean a lot of data to read. We have seen this in the Matrix City scene released with UE5.Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCGKjGGjdl-GzEcFPf1EQwqw/join---------------Timestamps:00:00 - Intro02:04 - CG Spectrum02:52 - Necessary Plugin - Nuke Server04:05 - Nuke Server setup in Unreal Engine05:07 - UnrealReader node in Nuke08:11 - Addressing Possible Colorspace Issues11:20 - Picking Stencil Layers12:55 - Render Layers13:15 - Advanced Tab - Movie Render Queue Settings14:25 - Cameras17:23 - Writing Renders to Disk20:36 - Outro & Thanks---------Cameras and Gear Used To Film This Video -------DISCLAIMER: This video/description contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I’ll receive a small commission.

Unreal to Davinci Resolve Workflow - ACES & sRGB William Faucher 2022-03-10 | Learn how to color grade your Unreal renders easily in Davinci Resolve!The first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: https://skl.sh/williamfaucher03221If the OCIO options aren't showing up for you in MRQ, make sure you have the OpenColorIO plugin enabled!My understanding is that while Unreal is in linear sRGB, the viewport has an ACES filmic tonemapper applied, giving us the substantial benefits of the ACES tone curve, filmic highlight rolloffs, etc.However, the ACES colorspace for post-production work is intended to be linear. What we get out of #UnrealEngine with default render settings isn't in linear, the tonemapper remaps those linear values to the 0-1 range. The OCIO config disables that tonemapper at render time. Which is why we jump through all the hoops in this video to render in linear.I get a lot of questions about how to get my renders from Unreal Engine, and into Davinci Resolve for grading. There's a lot of mixed opinions and thoughts on the matter out there, but this here is what I've found to be the easiest and most straightforward approach.Music by Epidemic SoundUse my Epidemic Referral code! epidemicsound.com/referral/jiypx8ACES Configs: github.com/colour-science/OpenColorIO-Configs/tree/feature/aces-1.2-configACES 1.2 Config: github.com/colour-science/OpenColorIO-Configs/releases/tag/v1.2Davinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolveJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCGKjGGjdl-GzEcFPf1EQwqw/join---------------Timestamps:00:00 - Intro01:09 - Skillshare02:06 - Into Unreal02:59 - OCIO Configs05:39 - IMPORTANT Render Settings08:46 - Into Davinci Resolve10:20 - IMPORTANT Project Settings11:34 - Importing Renders12:36 - IMPORTANT Input Transforms13:27 - Unreal Comparisons15:37 - Color Grading Workflow16:34 - Color Page UI23:04 - Vignetting25:34 - Chromatic Abberation28:40 - Film Grain30:03 - Exporting Your Video---------Cameras and Gear Used To Film This Video -------DISCLAIMER: This video/description contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I’ll receive a small commission.

How To Improve Your Lighting w/ RTXGI William Faucher 2021-10-21 | The first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: https://skl.sh/williamfaucher10211In this tutorial we talk about Nvidia's RTXGI plugin. This is a relatively new lighting method that completely leapfrogs the default Raytraced Global Illumination options in UE4 / Unreal Engine 4. While Unreal Engine 5 has Lumen, RTXGI is a worthy competitor. In this video we cover how to set up the plugin, how to use RTXGI, how it works, as well as a few other quality of life settings that are really good to know about. You DON'T need an RTX gpu for this to work. But it should go without saying that you need to enable raytracing in your project settings for this to work.Console Commands for RTXGI:r.GlobalIllumination.ExperimentalPlugin 1r.RTXGI.DDGI 1Nvidia Documentation on RTXGI Playlist:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfPt9Zwz7HPkrjZ7wDQ48phhHn-bpaiXqICVFX Production Test Scene:unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/production-test#unrealengine#RTXGI#nvidia---------------Timestamps:00:00 - Intro01:01 - Skillshare02:10 - How RTXGI Works03:23 - Pros & Cons05:33 - How To Install RTXGI07:00 - How To Use RTXGI09:07 - Nvidia's Documentation12:18 - Using RTXGI in Large Environments/Worlds14:32 - Fixing odd Lighting Artifacts15:22 - Using RTXGI in Detailed Scenes20:59 - Outro & Thanks---------Cameras and Gear Used To Film This Video -------DISCLAIMER: This video/description contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I’ll receive a small commission.

This applies to both Unreal Engine 4 and Unreal Engine 5!Shaky Cam is one of those things that are either extremely desireable, or absolutely awful. You could always keyframe the camera shake yourself, but having a procedural, additive approach is way easier to set up. This tutorial was made in Unreal Engine 4.27, but can be done in earlier versions of Unreal (4.25, 4.26) by using the Matinee Shake I show in this tutorial.

The Awesome 4.27/UE5 Update Nobody Is Talking About William Faucher 2021-07-02 | Raytraced Translucency just got a ninja update in the preview build of Unreal Engine 4.27, and Unreal Enging 5. Previously, in 4.26, raytraced translucency/glass didn't cast any shadows. At all. Now, it does!I thought Raytraced Translucency was broken in the 4.27 preview update, but after talking to the devs at Epic Games, I found out that they revamped the way that Raytraced Glass Materials are configured. Now we actually control refraction with the refraction pin, as opposed to with the specular pin.Thanks, Devs!How to enable raytracing:docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/RenderingAndGraphics/RayTracingLink to previous Raytraced Glass video:youtube.com/watch?v=NbNz7gQ4eJgWhat is the IOR of a material?pixelandpoly.com/ior.html---------------This video is NOT sponsored.

Things To Know About LUMEN [Unreal Engine 5] William Faucher 2021-05-28 | DISCLAIMER: Please take some of the advice in this video with a grain of salt, as this video was released 1-2 days after the release of UE5 Early Access, before much documentation on Lumen was available.Some of the things in this video could be outdated now.Lumen is a brand new feature that was made available in Unreal Engine 5 as of May 26th. As we all know, UE5 came out of the blue, and with it, a plethora of new tools! This tutorial covers how to use Lumen, how to fix common issues, and limitations of Lumen.We talk about how to fix noisy shadows, GI issues, and console commands.Yeah. Console commands are still here. Yay.---------------Console Commands used in the videoReducing noise:r.Shadow.Virtual.SMRT.RayCountLocal Soften shadows:r.Shadow.Virtual.SMRT.SamplesPerRayLocal---------------Epic Documentation on UE5:docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US---------------#unrealengine5#lumen#nanite---------------This video is NOT sponsored.

Unreal Engine 5 - First Look William Faucher 2021-05-26 | Taking a first look at the freshly-dropped and much anticipated Unreal Engine 5! This is mostly a livestream for messing around with the new engine, no tutorial content here. Like most people, I am crazy excited to play with this. Feel like a total noob again.PC Specs:RTX 2060 Super64gb ramRyzen 7 3700x#unrealengine5#lumen#nanite
Volumetric Cloud Secrets [Unreal Engine 4 & 5] Works in UE5! William Faucher 2021-05-25 | In this tutorial we'll be taking a look at how to control the position and placement of your volumetric clouds in Unreal Engine 4 and UE5. By default, Volumetric Clouds are very limited, and don't offer a whole lot of control for art directing. Fortunately there is a very simple solution to this, and that's with the help of Blueprints called "Cloud Mask Object" and "Cloud Mask Generator", only found in the engine settings. This tutorial won't be covering the Paint Clouds method, only the blueprints method.This method works in both UE4 AND Unreal Engine 5!#unrealengine5#tutorial#volumetricclouds#volumetrics---------------This video is NOT sponsored.

Demystifying the Skylight [Unreal Engine 4 & 5] William Faucher 2021-05-18 | This weeks tutorial concerns the Skylight actor. The Skylight in Unreal Engine 4 (4.26) is probably the weirdest light, and most misused and misunderstood light out there. This video serves to demystify the Sky Distance Threshold and how it's so important for lighting interiors, and lighting exteriors in Unreal Engine 4. This tutorial serves to help people understand the purpose of the skylight. How to use the skylight, and why you should be using it this way. Not only does this work with Raytracing / Raytraced GPU's but this also works well WITHOUT Raytracing. You can use HDRI / Cubemaps with the skylight in this video. Again, Raytracing is NOT an absolute must.We also take a look at Mesh Distance Field Ambient Occlusion (also known as DFAO), and how drastically it can affect your scenes.Let's dive in!PS. This works the same way in Unreal Engine 5! Lumen just makes it even better :)#unrealengine#lighting#skylight#raytracing#nvidia#ue4#tutorial---------------This video is NOT sponsored.

How To Light Exteriors - Dynamic Lighting [Unreal Engine 4 Tutorial] William Faucher 2021-05-12 | This weeks tutorial livestream concerns the much-requested topic about Exterior Lighting! We will be taking a look at both raytracing / raytraced lighting, but also non- RTX based lighting. For those of you who don't have Nvidia's RTX graphics cards, worry not! You don't need a 3090 to light exteriors nicely. We will be dissecting/reverse engineering Epic's free Australia environment, and digging into the nitty gritty of individual lights and various lighting methods. We WON'T be baking light this time around, fully dynamic! This should be a fun one!#unrealengine #raytracing #rtx #lighting #exteriorlighting #environments #tutorial
Lighting with Emissive Materials [GPU / CPU Lightmass] - Unreal Engine 4 William Faucher 2021-05-04 | In this weeks Two-Minute Tuesday tutorial, we take a look at how to bake emissive textures, meshes/models as a light source. With the help of Unreal Engine 4's GPU and CPU Lightmass, any emissive texture, or material, can be used to emit light. Baking a mesh light is a simple process that only involves 1-2 settings. Keep in mind this only works for baking lights, and will not work dynamically with raytraced lighting / shadows. #unrealengine#gpulightmass#nvidia---------------This video is NOT sponsored.

Lighting Detailed Interiors + Q&A [Unreal Engine 4 Tutorial] William Faucher 2021-04-29 | This week's tutorial livestream is sponsored by Evermotion. I wanted to go a lighting livestream that looked a bit more exciting than bland white walls and such. So I reached out to Evermotion and they were kind enough to send me one of their scenes to work with. We'll be using GPU Lightmass (not CPU Lightmass), and using some of the Raytracing Features in Unreal Engine 4.26. Lighting for Archviz/Architectural Visualisation can be tricky, so hopefully I can answer some of your questions!Link to the archviz pack used in this video:evermotion.org/shop/show_product/archinteriors-for-ue-vol-4/14406#unrealengine#lighting#interiorlighting#tutorial#gpulightmass#gpurendering
Why are my lightmass builds so slow? [Two Minute Tuesdays] William Faucher 2021-04-20 | This week is a quick Two-Minute-Tuesday, because I have a lot of exciting things in the works for the future of this channel! This week someone reached out to me with a very valid question. Why are my lightmap bakes/build times so slow? How can I make baked lighting faster? Is it raytracing? Is my GPU too slow? Nope. It's very likely to be a simple fix. This works for GPU and CPU Lightmass. No RTX, No Raytracing. This works in any version of Unreal Engine 4. This is not 4.26 specific.#unrealengine#raytracing---------------This video is NOT sponsored.

How To Make Unreal Look More Cinematic William Faucher 2021-04-14 | Cinematic. That look we all want. That look that is prized and hard to get. But is it really? I'll be showing you a few things that can really give your shots a more filmic feel. It's a lot easier than you might think! You don't necessarily need any fancy #raytracing effects, or the latest RTX Graphics Cards from Nvidia to get a nice, cinematic look. Much of what is achieved in film/movies is all in the post-production par of the process. This tutorial covers rendering with Movie Render Queue in Unreal Engine 4.26, color grading done in Davinci Resolve. Everything here can be done in both UE4, and Unreal Engine 5.For the record, Davinci Resolve is FREE to use. The studio license (which has a few extra features, faster rendering, etc) is only $300 USD. Lifetime perpetual license. It's worth the money.#UnrealEngine#unrealengine5#cinematic#tutorial---------------This video is NOT sponsored.

Ruins Environment (Unreal Engine 4.26 - Megascans - RTX 2060 Super) William Faucher 2021-04-09 | This is just a very quick scene I threw together for the Raytraced Shadows + Volumetric Fog Hack video I made, right here, not my finest work, of course, but I figured I'd post the clip:youtube.com/watch?v=UqMvd6UGBhEMade with Megascans assets exclusively. Rendered in Unreal Engine 4. Raytraced Lighting.#unrealengine#quixel#megascans#nvidia#realism
