Hello friends, I have a slight issue with ue5, let me explain. 1) I created a project in ue4 about 2 years ago and wanted to update it with ue5's new features. Going forward, I have my old project loaded into ue5 however some of the assets / models (from marketplace) haven't got textures applied or have but appear light…
Hi! 👋🖤 My name is Swapilla, I am an indie director, writer and animator. I'm a former Roblox animator and current UE5 creator. I’m currently making a massive long-term and unpaid passion project. A 10 episode animated horror series made entirely in Unreal Engine 5. The series follows Sean and Steph, estranged siblings, who…
Hi everyone! I’m pretty new to UE5 and real-time rendering, and I’d really appreciate some feedback on this scene. My main goal here is to achieve realistic, volumetric lighting and overall atmosphere — something close to the reference image that I’ve attached as well. Right now the scene doesn’t feel quite there yet,…
Hello! I'm looking for Environment Artist (Unreal Engine 5.5) as a project partner. Our talent: We’re a small two-person indie team. My main profile is audio—sound design, music, dialogue—while I also manage coding, narrative and production (search wetdreamsexciter). My teammate is blocking out the world. We now need a…
I’ve started working on the hair system. I’m using the Ornatrix plugin of 3ds Max to create the groom, and exporting it as an Alembic file into UE5. Yesterday I did the eyebrows and they look okay (for now I’m concentrating on the technical process rather than a convincing groom) but I’ve run into problems with the…
Verse looks fine as a language - i watched a talk on it a while back and it has some features I think are a really good idea for this application. If you're doubting epic's ability to invent a language for making unreal games you should probably just stop - they've been doing it forever. as far as UE6 goes... I don't think…
Hi! Don't understand how such a file could be too heavy, it would be a mesh and the two normal maps that should get combined. No high poly or anything like that. In my opinion it would be best do a simplified test anyways. If remember correctly, in UE4 only tangents of UV0 were stored. To use a tangent space normal map…
Coming to UE5 from UE4 and have a few questions regarding modular sets and nanite. If I have an exterior building wall set that is going to be brick, is it better to use a height map to displace the mesh in ZBrush/Blender, then use nanite on those modular pieces? Assuming it would be a bit more work to get the modular…
I really like the concept and execution so far! I like the top down perspective in games and wish there were more of them that weren't focused on combat, so this seems like something I'll check out. I'm about halfway through a personal piece in UE5 that uses traditional baking workflows. I'm already looking ahead to my…
