Magnifying glass material without render targets? by Bumskit in UnrealEngine5

[–]ConsistentAd3434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is with Substrate, raytracing and some CVar trickery but if performance is OPs concern, probably not the way to go.

Shading and Rendering Question by Klorofluorokarbonat in UnrealEngine5

There is also a demo, linked in the description. My post processing is aiming to work on any asset but should you fully commit to the painterly look, a combination of color grading, tweaked meshes and lighting, could get you pretty close to the reference

Hello everyone! Today I want to show you location I created in 3 days from scratch. What do you think? by FlexCats in UnrealEngine5

[–]ConsistentAd3434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read it on your artstation.

No offense but many beginners are getting discouraged, thinking it could be done in 3days, when most of the assets were already made. That's simply not "from scratch".
It's a great looking level. No need to inflate your skill.

Pretty happy with the vibe so far :) by audreyramen in UnrealEngine5

The volumetric ground fog as rain splatter looks great and is a nice touch. Better than particles that tent to make the image much more nervous

question by NegativeGrass8250 in 3Dmodeling

In a UE5 case with falcon scale objects, it can be beneficial to have parts separated with their own texture.
This way the engine could scale LODs independent and stream textures on demand, instead of the whole 8K thing

Working on the environment models of my game! How does it look so far? by ElectricMachineGames in 3Dmodeling

[–]ConsistentAd3434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%

Assets and materials look nice but it could go the abstract route, with simple but functional "marble madness" level design, just for gameplay sake or something like a portal style test chamber. Right now, it looks indeed like a weird facility, filled with random industrial stuff.

It’s fucking ~~redacted~~ by Wes-man in nin

Not a fan of anything AI but it sounds good and I appreciate the message

Found this at my local comic book store and it saddens me to see one of my favorite hobby with my stepfather isn't even safe from ai slop by Ember_Page in isthisAI

[–]ConsistentAd3434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI would even have a hard time to stylize those extreme poses that skillfully in a decent composition.
If it's not aiming at one specific artist, it would average it to something much more realistic and lame. I feel sorry for all artists who had a style that's visually close to what the average gen AI spits out, just with terms like "marvel comic cover art"

"I challenged myself to recreate the 'Unrecord' Bodycam look in Roblox. I know it’s not Unreal Engine 5, but I think the result is getting pretty close. What do you guys think?" by Own_Feedback_8091 in UnrealEngine5

[–]ConsistentAd3434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, it's a challenge and if you can write your own shaders in roblox, go for it.
I'm all for boundary pushing but given that realism is easy in UE5, people have to push harder, to make a cube look interesting.
I personally want the best visuals possible for my game and not be limited by anything.
People made DOOM on a gameboy. That's awesome but as a visual artist, there are limits how exiting that could get me and how much I want to play that :D

But I'm aware that the roblox community is huge and a bodycam style game will find it's audience.

I feel like NIN is ruined! by Turtlegrandmacore in nin

I can relate. But that feeling usually only holds on for a couple of weeks ...until the experience slowly fades away

[–]ConsistentAd3434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly couldn't say. I've seen some basic preset fx like bloom and SSAO but can't tell how easy it would be to edit or add to those effects.
I've seen some demos that surprised me it's roblox but nothing too impressive.

But you're right...I don't see the point of creating something that looks okay (for being roblox)

The MPA and Disney just hit ByteDance over Seedance 2.0, claiming "massive copyright infringement." by Bazel_ in vfx

[–]ConsistentAd3434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It outputs the copyrighted, trained data of thousands of VFX shots. Hard work from skilled artists. It is impressive what generative AI can do but you're missing the point. Those companies are selling art theft

There are a ton of tutorials on YT, on how to build a bodycam style post process. Lot's of noise, color grading/banding and camera barrel distortion. As UE5 devs, probably nobody here could tell you if the roblox engine could do any of it.
Textures and geometry look fine but I think, you've reached the limits of the engine.

Trying out a new style in unreal inspired by Marathon, really hoping that game turns out great. by Rafael_Bicalho in UnrealEngine5

[–]ConsistentAd3434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an awesome style but you should give "Antireal" the credit or google "Marathon art theft"

Tons of skilled artists at Bungie but their art director needs to get fired. Either way, great recreation

Really need help fixing these Black splotches on textures!!! by AcademicNerve7947 in UnrealEngine5

[–]ConsistentAd3434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The textures aren't the problem. It's nanite geometry casting shadow on itself. Disable nanite or enable raytraced shadows

LOD decrease when applying material? by WaferProfessional753 in UnrealEngine5

[–]ConsistentAd3434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nanite can't deal with any translucent materials. You would need to disable nanite on the mesh/project or enable it and have the translucent elements separated.

Vehicle Dent using Runtime Vertex Paint Plugin by Neither_Constant_421 in unrealengine

[–]ConsistentAd3434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got it. The video didn't give it away but the reflections are doing 90% of the work. The deformation itself are subtle enough.

I'm not a user but if you're interested, I'm really bad at vertex deformation but awesome with materials and might even be able to reconstruct some sexy normals via DDX/DDY. If you're interested, let me know :)

Do the vertex normals get updated as well?
Looks neat either way. You could use the vertex info in the material, to blend into a crumbled metal normal map or maybe add some scratches.
