Congrats to Andy and the team on releasing the motion design tools! 🎉🤙🏾
Your tutorials have been a huge help!
Thanks Winbush!!! Huge thanks to all the Beta testers
@@andyblondin7384 absolutely thanks for having me along for the ride I'm excited these tools are now out in the community!
Hello winbush How to do it now nanites shadings, optimize shader, hardware ray tracing How do I do?
@@Matthewfurry how do you do what in particular?
At this point i'm convinced they're gonna release new and improved real lives with UE 6.
UE6 is just gonna be one giant megacomputer which controls reallife weather, volumetric clouds and sun rays XD
This is the best time to be a 3D animator and I really want to use unreal engine 5 to animate things.
got 5.4 ....opened a few existing projects...all things seem okay....thanks !
Holy crap that Nanite improvement is insane!
tesselation: how many subdivisions would you like? nanite: yes!
Animation rigging and displacement maps are exactly what I was hoping for 🎉
Hey guys, Amazing job. But the engine is so heavy on some systems (at least mine.), I really hope that you take optimization in mind.
I cant even begin how amazing this update is. The motion graphics, sequencer, viewport, outliner, quick retarget.. just amazing.
would fun to see more and better 2D support in the engine :)
Godot
@@andrew8253 godot is ok, but i want work with Unreal :)
Have you tried paper zd? I thought about it but eventually decided to abandon 2d altogether.
"Finally" is right, the movie render graph has been a long time coming!
Really curious to see how it works
It's Finaly out!! Can't wait to test the Motion Matching and Motion design more, amzing job!
As an animator who just started learning CG character animation a couple years ago in Blender, these new UE animation tools look very approachable!
This is awesome! Upgrading to 5.4 right now. Cheers!
Two words: Hell. Yeah.
the retargeting, tessellation, & rendering upgrades 😍
I’ve only just got into Unreal as a motion designer and loving it 👌
For the unification of 3D... Holy😮
okay the movie render graph is probably the biggest update for vfx people.
As always there will be no disappointment in UE ever seen
Amazing!! Can't wait to dive deeper into Motion Matching! 🔥💪
We are waiting Motion Matching 500+ Animations Project from EPIC to work on a Parkour Project 😉
Thank you for the motion matching system. it will help us a LOT 😍❤
when Nanites are able to work with all the characters, it`s game over for retopology! Some day....
Unreal Engine needs an official chatbot ai that can help noobs like me with blueprints
Amazing work! Now the only thing’s missing is the motion matching sample with the animations so we can study more of this tool.
Very Exciting Update Can't Wait to Use It This Is the Only Thing That Gives Me Excitement and Motivation Nowadays
I understand nothing, but everything is awesome ❤
unreal updates with new features, is faster than me learning it..
Is motion matching performant or should i just stick to the classic state machines for my parkour game?
"setting up a leg in just a few steps" Ohhhhhh 😅
Imagine making your own Halo animated movie
Noice ! But...Anytime for the promised Epic Laucher overhaul though...
this, we needed that overhaul 4 years ago.
Is Direct Storage something you can add within this or is that entirely done through Direct X 12 programming?
I have been looking forward to UE 5.4 and these enhancements to VR/XR. It is time to build!
Add a video editing suite.
Awesome! just updated few minutes ago.
Hi could unreal engine 5 get cloud coverage update where shadows or daytime gets dim when clouds go over
That terrain ;0
It takes me more to download the new Unreal version, than Epic to release the next one.
Been loving this app! Green screen is so easy, fast and has amazing results in a short time.
Great! Will be nice to play games using this technology. Does anyone knows why the old dotted Sony log appears with the word Sting on the ship at the end of the video? XD
That snow scene with the truck will be downloadable?
Retargeting is huge! Also interested in the cloud DDC
MacOS full screen? iOS push notifications without needing to build from source? Right clicking on Magic Mouse / magic track pad?
Any links to guides on setting up or getting started with a lot of this? I'm going to be doing A LOT of animating soon.
Nice Qol improvement , crazy update again.
Helloo, will you use AI real time animations for NPC and main characters to have a hyper cool realistic scene? Will unreal 5 work with Qualcomm VR GPU for VR standalone games?
new TRS gizmos dont allow you to alt+click and drag to create duplicate?
I don't understand the in-editor animation and rigging stuff. From what I gather, can you automatically rig the unrigged model in-editor by just adding the module asset to the project? Or does the skeletal mesh need to have bones and weight paint integrated before bringing the assets in?
I believe the model should be rigged before hand and then you can easily animate the character using the new IK feature which move the adjuscent body part accordingly
Anytime I see developments in Motion Design I immediately await new sports graphics packages for NCAA sports broadcasts 😂
Everyday is a new improvement
Great, I hope we can continue to enhance the character animation function, I really like using it!
Awww yiss... now we just wait on that sweet motion matching animation demo coming later.
Animation tools that every engine likely would want. Also nice to virtual scene improvements, but still feels like distance still has its faults or background type used.
Do the performance improvements in UE5.4 mean that
Very awesome unreal engine 5.4 nanites shadings and rendering
JUICY!
Those are great news especially the ones on the optimization Looking forward to this update and cobgratz to rhe team for their hard work
JUST TO MAKE SURE SOMEONE READS THIS. The Motion Movement Component (Mover 2.0) is now included but theres ZERO documentation on how to get it even into the Player Character Blueprint... Not even on reddit nor discord anybody knew how to do this. Again great documentation from Epic releasing CRITICAL stuff that was needed years ago and then not giving any examples.
Does anyone know how to control gizmos with middle mouse button like in the video? When I press mmb it just do panning like before. Is there a setting for it?
Apparently, it's a new plugin. You gotta enable in in the plugins. Called TRS Gizmo. Then again enable it in the editor preferences. Search for gizmo and you'll see it. It doesn't support snapping though.
you all should try one day to play a future videogame named "Portugal: Rise of the Ornurenses" that will launch on Steam and it will be made on Unreal Engine 5 in a few years This game is a sci fi game set in Portugal where a young man named Sérgio created several robots in shape of mythical creatures for an exposition at the Web Summit... in this game players can play as one of this robotic mythical creatures like Griffins, Chimeras, Werewolves, Gargoyles and many others and complete quests across places like Sintra... I should not give too much spoilers but this game in the future will have expansions and players will be able to explore the full Portugal from north to south and even some alien planets as well in this new "pagan and robotic Portugal"
fake
can anybody tell me that should i use blender or unreal to make animation, my type is to make cinemaric shot like movie not gammes. please tell
Looks great! But I can't find the free animation pack mentioned in your show on the UE marketplace?
Update the image plate issue
Bhvr is having a field day with this update
That’s a whole lot to take in!! Awesome release🎉
I wish adding HDR support became mandatory for all new games
I have a question as Unity dev, when Unreal have new version can you update your project it its new version? Is this like Long term supported version? or it is coming out like in beta version first and it is not stable? help me understand
It has just come out of Beta and is now part of the stable release versions. As for upgrading your project version, for the most part, yes your project can be updated seamlessly to the latest version of UE5 with the click of a couple of buttons. Only under rare circumstances would you not be able to update to the latest version, but usually it's only a couple of alterations. Hope this answers your question
@@H1JaX thanks so another example how simple is Unreal, Unity is a mess of a software in many ways
@@branidev It depends on whether you prefer Unreal Engines built-in Blueprint (Node based system, no hardcoding required) or you have extensive C++ coding experience, Mixing between the two is pretty common practice, although it is totally plausible to create a game in Blueprints alone. There is a vast amount of information through official documentation and KZhead with step by step guides and sample projects available for both Blueprints and C++. The best way I could sum-up Unreal Engine, Very easy to learn and pick up, but hard to master. You will always be accumulating knowledge to add to your Game Dev arsenal 😄
What the hell is "software variable rate shading via nanite"? Is this something we need to setup? does it gets activated automatically?
Woo!!! Updating now
What about bugfixes? 😅, can't wait to test it! 🎉
UE 5.4 is ❤
Amazing! Does anyone know some documentation or tutorial to do this 1:56 ? Can't wait to try this!
You just enable tessellation in the material options and plug data into the displacement node, make sure u got nanite on tho
@@martinibomb thanks!
@@victorvdr9 the normal map is also animated. see their gdc episode with snow guy
Every 5.x update so far was really a banger! way to go!
I am so convinced life is a simulation
Da para fazer Artes e Projetos ?
some great improvements. cgi will become more and more accessible, also with ai, as time flows
Great news! Have you switched Fortnite to it yet?
What unreal engine 5.5 needs is to automatically detect the humanoid character And with a click of a button explain it which are the knees, the elbows and also the neck So it should scan the body and create a humanoid skeleton and also automatically apply those same features being explained, so the knees the elbows the neck all is autonomously added on its own, And also to have voice commands Where we tell it and it speaks back A virtual assistant SOPFiA So we explain This robot is made of steel, and it automatically makes it all steel frames, and that the steel is destructible And we explain it to procedurally generate a city and it generates a city on its own.
I would like to see an improvement in upgrading the project to a new engine version without corrupting the project, I had problem from 5.0 > to 5.1 > to 5.2 and now I don't trust it anymore
Any C++ related updates?
Any BP related updates* ... still waiting for rollback and client prediction in Blueprint .. they abandoned us more than the C++ guys.
Next up is UE5.5, you can now experience life 2
Is unreal trying to become the new blender?
Guess I'm learning C++ now?
please return matrix awakens demo in store
00:45 Why are dragons so often made with vertical pupils? It would make sense if they were small animals.
Da para Construir uma Ponte ?
Is 3d compression convergent with deep learning and compute reduction offset by high tops might by 2030 a 2 terra flop 4k TV with 50 tops of inferencing only need 16-32 GB for a ps5 level game.
Thank you Epic.
Wonderful stuff. You guys need to work on your Water Plugin though. It needs some serious improvements.
I think it's depreciated or something lol
@@martinibomb that's an understatement. Any modification to it and you'll see the water breaking
how long until they integrate an AI assistant?
Soon demo technique for ps5? 🙏🙏🙏🙏
🥰😍🙏
very cool updates
if you have to drag and drop everything. that means everything was pre packed in other platforms. not really created in ue4. so instead of sayin g"creat" you might want to saay " use assets effeciently"
This is mind-blowing.
Epic updates! As always 😉 Go-Go Unreal Engine!
Now please tell these studios to make something worthwhile. I get it, games are gonna look gorgeous now but we need them to be solid releases.
MAN this is UNREAAAAAAAAL (6)
how to get a job at UE?
Epic! As always
