    • @retrolightgames
      @retrolightgames  Před 11 měsíci

      ​@@tanyasubaBg Hi Tanya! Hm so let me try to understand; Do you want to add grass behind a greenscreen in Unreal Engine and then export that scene to any other program?
      If so you could for example add a cube and put a green image on it (Or perhaps Blue is better, as grass is green), and then spawn grass in-front of the blue/green cube with the framing that you want. Record your screen with "OBS" and then you would have a movie file with the grass in-front of the blue/green screen that you could manipulate in other software.
      Another way to do it is by using the sequencer and exporting a movie file directly from Unreal Engine. I partly show how to use the sequencer here
      czcams.com/video/OEfV3RRpmRE/video.html
      Did I understand this correct? Or do you want to export the grass as a 3D model?

    • @retrolightgames
      @retrolightgames  Před 11 měsíci +1

      That makes me so happy to hear Zena! The purpose of the video was for creators like you to take a first step into UE5.
      Yes easiest is to press F11 for fullscreen and record your screen with for example “OBS” and export it as a small movie file which you can upload to any social media. Alternatively you can create a movie clip in “sequencer” and export it from there directly (CZcams “how to export from sequencer UE5” for this method)
      Keep creating!

    Well, cool way to create some scrapbook ideas for scenes, but i must say i was a little bit dissepointed. Smell a little bit click bait here to be honest. I really expected to see a plugin for Midjourney or OpenAI that would more or less create a scene for you in unreal. Could be possible someday if the AI knows how to use all the tools, and have access to the content in you project.

    • @retrolightgames
      @retrolightgames  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Hi Benha!
      Sure,
      So you added the water body ocean?
      Make sure of this by opening your "Outliner" and search for it. If it appears in the list then it's added to the world.
      Try to locate where it went by selecting the water in the outliner and see where the arrows are (selection gizmo) if you can't see the arrows, press "G" on your keyboard. Try to travel to it with your camera and drag the water around until it appears in-front of your camera.

    what really bothers me, is that there are so many UE Tutorials,

    when you can just cycle through those 3 options with the SPACEBAR, which is 10x faster.

    When you go far enough, you'll just run into a flat image at the end. Would have been cooler if the scene in the image was reconstructed so that it isn't just a flat image when you finally reach it but instead can continue on forward just like a real 3D environment.

      Hi TbSoothing!
      Did you add the water body ocean?
      Make sure of this by opening your "Outliner" and search for it. If it appears in the outerliner list then it's added to the world.
      Try to locate where it went by selecting the water in the outliner and see where the arrows are (selection gizmo) if you can't see the arrows, press "G" on your keyboard. Try to travel to it with your camera and drag the water around until it appears in-front of your camera.
