Video

Sorry I mistakenly only recorded one channel. Change to the other channel and you should hear it.

Thank you! It’s been a while since I made this. At this point I’d export a splat map from Gaea, which is the equivalent of a packed texture node and then use the rgb of that node to layer 3 textures onto the landscape. Hope that makes sense.

@@cinemyscope6630 Would the packed RGB masked texture map require to connect to a lerp alpha input alongside two textures to blend their RGB channels or one of the channels to layer the textures? Does the packed RGB masked texture map require to import under the Landscape Mode's Layers too, or only use within the master material?

Thank you!

Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro is a great proponent of 2:1. At this point using less common ratios is a lot easier than it used to be. If you favor it for aesthetic purposes, go for it!

You are welcome!

Thanks, it was more intended as a statement to those still on the fence. New technology creates opportunities that the old guard accustomed to certain workflows often rejects. "Traditional" digital artist themselves are utilizing technology that not too long ago completely transformed the landscape of commercial art creation and changed the "technique" of an artists proficiency. The talent never really changed and neither will it with the incorporation of AI tools.

It gets better - it's pure coincident that I also recorded and uploaded a new video today. Would not have noticed if you hadn't sent this message;)

@@cinemyscope6630 this simulation never stops getting weirder

It’s been a long time. Seems you are right, but I do recall the camera getting noisy. With the RAW record out in cine EI -SLog3 800 worked very well.

@@cinemyscope6630 in Cine EI mode you are always shooting at ISO 2000, when you change the exposure index to 800 you are overexposing by 1.5 stops, which produces a really clean image by getting light into the dark areas (where noise appears first) and allowing you to pull back highlights.

Because I screwed it up - see previous comments.

@@cinemyscope6630 ah ok, i only did a quick scroll and didn't see any comments about it. I'll get used to it, thanks for the tutorial :)

Because, I posted this before putting the audio into both channels. Sorry, it's a screw up but it's still a valid tutorial. TBH, youtube has never paid me a cent. It's free, so I hope you guys can forgive this audio imperfection.

@@cinemyscope6630 Oh I’m sorry it was just me thinking out loud and laughing lmao I’m tired I spent all night on a render :D

Yes, thanks. I should re-do the video because it's been pointed out many times and I discovered the naming convention of the packed Quixel textures quite a long time ago. I'll probably wait till 5.4, hoping displacement will be back standard where it belongs without having to use a weird hack as currently required in 5.3. Thank you!

Sorry, don’t know but you can probably find those specs online.

@@cinemyscope6630 Ок.

Hi, I'm not 100% sure i follow you right but then my background with other DCC's is more limited. You may want to look into the "migrate" function (comes up when you right click a folder). It will permit you to move that folder to another project with all referenced dependencies of anything that's inside the folder.

@@cinemyscope6630 thanks for answering. no thats not what I meant. maybe an example explains it better. you put all your light stuff in, direct light, sky, fog etc... then they show up in your object tree menu (top right window in the UE hud). then to keep the file tidy your put them all into 1 folder and name it "lighting" ... is there a way to make this folder with all his children as a "solid" so I can grab it like a group object actor and move the folder around in my project world? also copy it or instance it? I have a project with a big building which has several ov those folders in a tree so I can seperate the different groups. and I can find a way to grab the "main building" folder an move the whole shabang around in the scene or even copy the whole thing with all its children. cheers

Hi, I'm not sure I 100% follow your description but if you shoot green screen for compositing, I'd only use the UE tools for preview purposes and a designated compositing app for the final. This would be Nuke, Fusion, or AE. Fusion comes free with a DaVinci Resolve license. If you have a light in the build then your cinematographer needs to match that lighting on the green screen stage. That's where the UE preview can be helpful.

@@cinemyscope6630 I speak German and I wrote with a translator, so maybe it's not translated well. I came across a tutorial where I can insert a greenscreen actor the fastest. But here I can't insert a shadow for the actor and insert some light to illuminate him, because on some backgrounds when I insert a greenscreen actor it looks too dark. I don't work with live cam, but first I record the actor and then I insert it into EXR files in Unreal Engine. I remove the green background using After Effects. Here is the tutorial where the GreenScreen actor is inserted the fastest and easiest czcams.com/video/j6FRbGkHuc8/video.html I wrote to him as well, but he hardly answers to anyone

Thank you!!!

Yes, you should be able to pull out the core holder and put the daylight spool onto the spindle.

@@cinemyscope6630 thanks for the reply! Cheers

Hold M and left click for the multiply node. Hold S and left click for the scaler node.

This is too little info to diagnose from the distance, but in a nutshell, your hightmap is a grayscale image, whereas your albedo, normal, etc. are color images.

Sorry. Thanks though!

Give this a second of thought first! Once you actually get to use that camera, you may notice that when the flip out screen is open, the buttons are facing the actor and not the camera operator. Blackmagic addressed this issue in their MKII version by positioning the buttons on the body, though sadly still in a location thats obscured when the screen is open.

@@cinemyscope6630 Look at the buttons on the back of the screen, then look at the ones on the body. 8 of them are identical. They already did what you asked for. THE BUTTONS ARE ALREADY ON THE BODY.
