Go behind the scenes in our VFX Breakdown of TesseracT's War of Being. If you're interested in VFX, filmmaking, or Unreal Engine, I hope this behind-the-scenes look at indie virtual production will show you what's possible with a small team.
Watch as we breakdown the motion capture, creating environments in UE5, exploring Characters and Control Rigs for Motion Capture Cleanup animation all in Unreal Engine 5. I'll share my CineCamera workflow and my best tips when creating your own film for the first time.
This video wouldn't be possible without the amazing crew that made it happen!

any cupons?
Just picked this up today, you're the only person doing exactly what I'm trying to get into. Really hope I learn a lot from this!
From a very young padawan to an experienced jedi. You are living the dream. All the best insh'Allah
Praise the Unreal Gods, praise the Quixel Gods, Praise the Rokoko Gods! I was using Rokoko AI mocap and cleaning up in Cascadeur, but now I think Cascadeur just implemented an AI video mocap system right in their own software. Such an exciting time to be developing in Unreal and to be doing mocap and animation as a single dev or small team!
aw shit, Praise the Nvidia and AMD Gods too! 🙏❤🙏
wish Cascadeur license would be similar to UE
This is amazing! It is so satisfying to see productions at this level of quality made inside Unreal. It is inspirational and makes me want to learn the software even more.
Subscribed purely because I’m both a TesseracT fan and an Unreal Engine artist and I love that these two worlds have collided so beautifully
I’ve been following Found Format for a while now, and this video blew my mind. Excellent work.
Awesome project Josh. Looks great!
Loving this content! Finally started using unreal engine 2 days ago and I'm loving it! Used to work in Roblox a lot back in the day, and it's refreshing how similar they are.
nice!! i swear that note about hardware is real!! i've walked away from the computer so many times i'm surprised i haven't blown the dam thing up. keep creating! good stuff
Packed with Gold Infos! 🙌💯💪🔥
This is so inspiring! Immediate sub! :D Also when I saw your Unreal Engine crash, I felt that lmao
This video is a fantastic source of gaming inspiration! Keep up the great work.
Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing the details :)
Course looks epic! Will take this for sure
Hey i am working on a samurai game, this really gave me more inspiration, thank you!
youare just more than good AMAZING!!!
Wow! Very informative !!, Thank You🔥
all the advices at the end, Spot on!
What a time to be alive! Now my favourite heavy fuckin metal bands make video in my favourite game fucking engine... A couple years ago I was listening to Tesseract while modelling in Blender...
Bro, that’s awesome. I’m into your course
Heard Wisconsin and had to drop a appreciation comment!
Represent 🐄
Damn this is so good
The Unreal engine is so epic and they will change the whole experience of cenima
Great work!
Thanks for making this
Sick
I have in my mind the best action gameplay but i am gonna learn after effects, blender & unreal engine 5 for this so it's gonna take time and i am actually thinking about to release it in 2027 December.
Wish me luck for that cause it's gonna be full of action from start to finish.
SO COOL
Look amazing!
Hey great work!
This movie was epic.
Im thinking about getting into film making using unreal engine so i want to know if you were able to make this on your own and how long it took you?
Hey pls one tutorial on how you attached niagara and muzzle flash etc. With the drone in your battle stabber project.
I'm working on an cinematic myself, Just out of curiosity what were the poly counts on both characters?
@joshToonen, thank you for sharing the knowledge any last-minute coupon codes or discounts available?
Great bts breakdown! Loved every minute of this video. I’d like to sign up for your course. Are there any prerequisites you would recommend knowing before diving into the course?
It’s aimed at beginners, but you should you’re best off if you know Photoshop/AE and have a decent Gaming PC.
For a GPU, GTX1080Ti or better (6-8gb VRAM Minimum)
Did you sign up yet?
Hey Josh, the course intro vid looks terrific and going deep into the production pipeline and techniques seem really promising. I peeked at the Syllabus, The first 3 chapters seem to cover installing UE, UI review and oddly... Creating a game? you didn't mention gameplay in the trailer. How does this track with Filmmaking? Also, how deep does the course go into Character setup, control rig, Mocap and data cleanup...etc.? This is prominently featured in the tease trailer, and by far, (for me), the most tempting aspect of an expensive course like this. Any light you can shed on this would be mighty appreciated. Best of luck with the course and I hope it turns out to be a good fit for my needs.
Hey! Yes, the course is aimed at people migrating over to Unreal for the first time. Fundamentally, we’re using a video game engine to create 3D renders so if you skip over how the game engine is supposed to work then you’ll never be able to troubleshoot properly. (Also, Making a Game is the shortest chapter)
The rest is focused on the character, sequencer, and rendering workflows along with building environments. We cover everything you’d need to know with the exceptions of creating Control Rigs, but everything else is explained. Hope that helps!
Seems a LOT of work, but the final result was awesome!
Hey! Any tips for beginners that have an idea for animations but don’t have mocap? Should I learn how to keyframe animation. Also any tips on realms fog for landscapes. Also do you recommend any camera settings for unreal engine 5 that would fall into “cinematic”. The reason I ask is because when I render my stuff everything seems so flat (Even the camera, even when I move it for another angle). And good tips for stuff to do for in post if you do Still Renders?
I’d check out my Animation tutorial. If you’re a beginner I wouldn’t recommend diving into keyframe animation for human characters or you might get lost.
As far as making shots more “cinematic” I would constantly compare your compositions, framing, focal length and movement of the camera to IRL shots that you like. For cameras to match their real-life counter part every one of those has to be correct.
But usually, it’s the lighting that make your shots look better overall. Hope that helps!
@@JoshToonen hi thanks for the reply, do you have sites that have that? I heard of some I can’t find any.
Man, this is something, this is NEXT level animation, all the best insh'Allah :)
Yeah, thanks, you talked me out of this workflow. I'll just stay in blender, the final render/comp is way better.
@JohnToonen
I'm looking to enroll in your course for the deal you have going on right now but I see that the current price is set at $497. Is there not a discount for the promo on that? There should be about an hour and a half or so before the deal is supposed to end.
Hey Ron! Our sale ended on Cyber Monday and our sale is over. Ping us at learn@unrealforvfx.com and we'll answer any other questions/concerns you've got. Cheers!
AYE IM INTERESTED IN GETTING THIS?? .. it mentions on the website that you also teach how to set up a render farm in home????
if you -- bro I'll buy it right now
What volumetric fog/cloud plug-in did you use for this? Looks awesome
Ultra Dynamic Sky, highly recommend!
Thanks! And what about the clouds you dragged and dropped into the scene and could move independently? Are those cloud assets also a part of ultra dynamic sky?
@@samster_vfx Im sure that Easy fog
Hey does the course include compositing irl footage like a character or something, into unreal engine?
Not yet! But you’ll learn how Unreal Engine works together as a whole for filmmaking. We show the full render compositing workflow in AE and Nuke tho and how to improve your renders in comp 👌🏻
what motion capture suit did you use?
Josh I just discovered your channel and it’s Electric! I’m a filmmaker and I’m getting ready to shoot my first feature and it’s a horror film. I also just got an Acer Predator Helios 300. I’m a total beginner at Unreal Engine And I want to create a color Sin City type universe for my film. Where can I find all your courses to help me achieve my filmmaking goal.
Amazing video bro.. now, I really feel like, I got the perfect guidance.. you know shaneplays? He makes animations with like 15 mins stories, in roblox.. now, i for a long time wanted to do so, but in unreal engine 5 (previously blender) but, I didn't know what to do properly.. cauz, I was a game developer for unreal, but not that great animator.. helps a lot.. 🎉🎉 😃😃😃😂
wow
Josh, I’m on the verge of clicking that button but, quick question , what if I don’t want it to look so realistic or video gamey. Do you explain how to get more of a Pixar look or Spider versy or cartoon
look.
Hey! No problem, you’ll end up using the same exact techniques but you can get stylized characters and environments off the Unreal Marketplace for free/cheap once you understand the workflow 👌🏻
@@JoshToonen I'm in and I can't wait to go get started!
Josh, how and where do you publish your films to monetize them ? I mean, you gotta pay actors and people who are helping you so that’s my doubt, thanks a lot… amazing content by the way !
on what you from wisco, what part of the state you from g?
I watched this Samurai duel in Tesser Act's 11ish mins new track from the new album.
Caught them with BTBAM & Animals as Leaders a few years back.
James was really cool. Gave me a guitar pick. 🎸 Fortunate that I got this opportunity.
Could you mention how long it take to do your whole thing. Our team are creating ghost story from unreal it about 180 shot with a team around 7 people no pre production no story board no actor with 1 rokoko suit so it mean everytime we record rokoko we all need to pause the work. However we need to explain it to our business manage and investor Who understand nothing about animation. And we really need a clear example like your production it could help us big time. Thank a lot !
Could you teach how the github repository was used.
yeah sure, everyday stuff, let me just pull out my mocap suit in a huge studio lol. Jokes aside, Unreal is insanely powerful and can cut a lot on production time and budget
Hello! My group and I are working on a Star Wars knights of the old republic unreal fan film that surrounds the final battle between Revan and the Mandalorians. I happened to stumble upon your awesome stuff and was wondering if you wanted to collaborate in a minor of major capacity?
To be clear, this course isn’t a!step by step of the above. It’s just a “case study” and I’m curious how that’s different from the video above? What’s the difference between the breakdown video in the course and this? Asking because I almost got it before I saw the samurai section (which is the thumbnail for the course) is just a narrated overview.
r u using blender for char modeling?
Zbrush to Maya and Textured in Substance Painter. That being said you can do all of those steps inside of Blender
Thank you so much. I really did learn a lot! You're awesome ヾ(≧▽≦*)o
Wait...why are there cars form Yugosglavian era in the background behind the Mocap men? 😄😄
(i know they are FIAT / italian but they were made in yugoslavia)
ooohhhh , you went to Yugo-Fabrica...
Background music names please
👾👽👾
wait how did they share their work on github? Doesn't Github has a limit of file size? I tried github with blender but it kept telling me the size is too big for github.
Look up GitHub LFS 🤘🏻
Hey...when I tried reinstalling Epic games for unreal engine it is showing " please wait while we start your update" I tried everything on Google and couldn't solve it... it would be great help if anyone can help me on this?😊
Did you try to fully uninstall? If not, try that. Left over Files can retain software behaviors.
Damn you did that with 8gb!!!??? amazing!!! do you think a RTX 4060 ti Will handle the job? 3090 its too pricey by now :(
what you mean you the 3090 should cost less that the 4060
3080 comes with 10 or 12 gb
@@FilmryStudios 3090 has 384 bit bus width and 24GB vram.
4060 has 128 bit bus width and 8GB vram.
Why should a 4060 cost more? Current gen entry gpus
are not going to be better than last gen flagship gpus.
@@hzwinip somewhere along commenting .. my mind was stuck on the 4080 - in reference to the discussion
Does it work with RTX 3070 and 16gb ram?
It totally works! You’ll just have to keep a close eye on optimizing. 16gb of VRAM is plenty to start with
is rtx 3090 stronger than rtx 4070 or 4070ti
Yes, but the 4070ti is about the same but way less power consumption and heat
It was my dream from childhood today i heard its possible but i have m2 chip only 😂 i think
tell me more
An 8GB 3080? What?! As far as I know, the 3080 8GB VRAM is the mobile version only.
Starting out, Rokoko and motion capture suit are already expensive as hell.
I made a video on how to add character animation without mocap suits!
czcams.com/video/MWFpt3ZQ0zE/video.html
I guess we're all just using the same music from epidemic sound
With the exception of the Ai generated concepts 😷 great content. IMO the narration feels like it’s hitting a high on every sentence, I think it would be better to save that fore key points.
You all will do anything to hate on AI, stop holding technology back
@@JohnJohnson-zt3bv I have no problem with Ai, I do have a problem with the 1000s of concept artists who do this for a living that you could have hired for this, to be replaced by a tool that used their work to generate your result. I'd understand if it was part of the process but this was raw output. Lazy.
me watching this video with a 2gb vram, 619 mb free soace and pc which has completely lost its mind
😂 you’ll learn good habits faster I promise
Thank you
Ya mocap suits ain't cheap or free
Man motion capture is too expensive. Especially if you’re a student
Says "Free software", shows video of motion capture suits worth thousands 🤦♂️
lol
You don’t need motion capture to create your own films 😉 In this tutorial I show exactly how and include the project file to practice this completely free czcams.com/video/MWFpt3ZQ0zE/video.html
@@JoshToonen Says the guy with a motion capture suit... Actually that's not fair on my part. But it's very hard and time consuming for a non educated animator to do a sequence like you did here. I guess what I trying to say, apart from joking, is that AI video animation won't work in action sequences.
“That is why no one will remember your name”
Yeah but what specs PC do you need to run unreal? Etc...? It's not nothing
Your face looks like it was rendered in Unreal engine
2 years this was not possible
Yes it was for years
Promo_SM 👏
It hurts that to make a good cinematic you have to spend 7000 dls
3080 has 10gigs of vram
I think it’s a laptop
Hi @JoshToonen ~ im trying to enrol on the deal for $397, where it says SAVE $100! from $497 but it keeps defaulting to charging me the full price on the link?
Hey Steve! Thanks for letting me know, this is fixed now, the checkout links from unrealforvfx.com/fundamentals will work again :D
I'm signed up. Thanks for the invite Steve brother and huge thanks to @@JoshToonen 🙂🙏
