How I did the caustic lighting in Unreal Engine 4 with light function. Fabrice Bourrelly 2017-11-22 | DOWNLOADS: scroll to the bottomHey, finally ! A new tutorial video, I hope it's useful for you. Basically, I'm showing you how I used the light function inside of unreal to create these caustic lighting effects. It's really easy, but the trick is in the material function and playing around with the panner function and the scale.It could be greatly enhanced by playing a caustic animation instead of using a still but I haven't looked into that yet. I'm curious if any of you guys have ? Cheers, Fabrice.Caustic generator (it's free, scroll to the bottom of the page) https://www.dualheights.se/caustics/caustic image I generated http://3dw.co.uk/Caustics.jpg
AI and UE5 : How I used AI to create this Architecture scene in Unreal Engine Fabrice Bourrelly 2023-10-31 | Have you used AI to create reference to build scenes in Unreal Engine ? I show you the simple process I used for this scene. I used super simple 2 word prompt to create a reference in Midjourney.Then made a bare bones model in 3dsmax I exported using a mixture of datasmith (first batch) then FBX for the fixtures and details.Step 3 was to import very detailed assets from 3dsky. the landscape was dressed using brushify.io then I added a sun and sky and used sequencer to animate the time of day.
Cinematography and UE5 : the fundamentals of framing Fabrice Bourrelly 2023-10-07 | Framing is the first step to making a visual impact. Whether sketching a portrait or staging a scene for film, framing allows you to direct the viewer's attention. In cinema, it's not only what you show, but also what you deliberately choose not to show that creates mystery and engagement. Framing, is the act of putting a window between you and the world. Like tunnel vision, it negates the space around you to focus on the story within the frame.
#DavidAdjay at the Venice Architecture Biennalle 2023 Fabrice Bourrelly 2023-07-05 | Hey, got back from Venice teaching MADI, and stopped at the Architecture Birnalle. Here's a shot of a beautiful design by David A-day.I really like how the simple treatment of the materials, classic balsa wood for models, gives a clear read of the form and it's language.Read the shadow edges, the soft and the hard ones, and the interplay of the shapes.

How to fix vertical tilt shift on Architecture in Unreal Engine for Archviz Fabrice Bourrelly 2020-10-06 | FREE WORKSHOP : fabricebourrelly.com/workshopRules of perspective make it so that when you look up, lines converge and distort in a way which jars with human perception.However, when you look up in your scene in Unreal Engine, the building should look straight.We need to correct that. There is a free and easy way to do this - without the need for extra plugins.This is how to do it:- Keep the camera horizontal- Shoot your scene in portrait mode until you have enough sky- Crop the bottomPros of the method:This method is great as it does not require extra plugins, which means that it is quick, easy and free to fix. Cons of the method:The cropping needs to be done in the post, which can be a little of a pain if you do a lot of compositing and have to incorporate a lot of changes.
