How Unreal 5.4 Changes Filmmaking
Unreal 5.4 has huge updates for VFX artists and Filmmakers! I've had a week to play around and start testing it out on real projects, these are my first impressions and how to start using them!
My 3 favorite updates in Unreal 5.4 that we'll cover...
- Learn about the new Motion Graphics toolset (Motion Design + Material Designer)
- How to detail your environments with Nanite Displacement
- My take on the new Movie Render Graph
I've included a quick-start guide for each to start applying them when you upgrade!
For those new to Unreal, just a heads up that you don't need to update your engine and project every time, just upgrade if it's got the tools you need for your project.
Excited to see all of the new support going to VFX and Filmmaking, props to the Epic Team for continuing to listen to the community and add new meaningful updates!
P.S. Are you busy this Thursday? Join my FREE Godzilla Masterclass if you want to learn some Hollywood VFX applied to Unreal Engine 5. Sign up now at unrealforvfx.com/godzilla
We'll go in-depth, showing you how to use Sequencer for Cinematics and create renders, animation, previs. In just 90 minutes you'll learn my whole filmmaking workflow step-by-step! If you're new or advanced in Unreal Engine, I promise you'll learn something new you can start applying immediately!

    does anyone know if 5.4 has performance improvements for Mac? Also does Mac even support the new Nanite update?

    Not sure if it’s that youre very good or that the set design and look (and acting) of Dune was trash. 🤷

    Hey is there any chance we can get a proper tutorial for this Godzilla project? This is just a 2 1/2 hour info-mercial for your courses. Not throwing shade or anything, I just really would like a walkthrough on how to accomplish this Godzilla shot. Even if it was a course you charged for I would happily pay.

    How would you make the lighting flicker a bit like the light is all coming from torchlight? It should be moving around a bit. Thanks.

    Funfact: Blender as an real-time renderer called EEVEE, is also used for rendering games in upbge, and unlike unreal, its free!

    It's ironic that who plays Ellie is called Paige, and Ellen Paige, who should have played Ellie in the real live action couldn't. Great work, btw!

    @mobaumeister2732 9 днів тому

    All shots still look extremely fake and have that CGI feel. The issue is that many VFX artists have become so accustomed to the CGI look and feel, that to them it looks photo realistic.

      If a big series like Mandalorian can use it and succeed then it must also be good enough for many viewers.
