- Thanks to ASUS for sponsoring this video! Check out their ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED (W7600) laptop for on-the-go creation: asus.click/w7600_oled_YT
In this video I'm gonna show you how I made a looping snowy landscape for free, using Unreal Engine 5, Quixel Megascans, and Davinci Resolve. I've been basing a lot of my renders on personal trips and adventures, so this one is inspired by a rare hike, when Mt. Baldy (in Southern California) actually got snow.

You’re part of the reason I decided to go to university to study VFX and Animation
Thanks man
bruh
I can't help but shake my head at certain things. You click buttons like volumetric fog and move on say 'yeah it looks cooler'. When I was using lightwave back in the mid 90s any volumetric stuff would increase render times by multiple orders of magnitude.
It still boggles my mind the level achievable even in the preview window!
Ya dude, Even just a few years ago. I love how fast and far the tech is evolving
wish C4D and Octane's volumetric fog was up to Unreals, they increase render times by 1000 and are barely useable in animation sequences (and I'm running 4 x 3090s and latest Ryzen threadripper pro)
dude, that right click to set pivot offset here is a next level tip. 10/10 my dude. Happy Holidays.
John!! Yo man, glad u enjoyed :)
Merry Christmas y’all
Thanks for being a role model and mentor, you've given me inspiration to learn and enjoy doing art l
Heck yeah!! Keep it up and enjoy your break!!
@@pwnisher we're with you always
@@pwnisher you solved my 4-5 doubts in seconds
Aaaaand AI ruins it all.
@@kolaas2006 what?
So impressed to see how far you've come this past year in unreal 🤙🏾
Yoooo thanks Winbush!!
What a nice way of telling us all the information, I really enjoyed watching your videos (and it`s a very rare channel where i do not skip the ad section and also enjoy it)
Awesome stuff! Merry Christmas Clint, all the best! 👍
Thank you again for teaching me so much about 3D rendering. I am not creating my first 3d render thanks to your teachings, I have to say without your insight this would still feel like pure magic (It still does kind of ;P ) I would not be anywhere close to what I have without you being willing to teach us all. so again, thank you for all you do!
amazing video man !! the renders look is so dope and espcially the film grain👌
I'm in love with the series. Please do make more of them :)
Thanks 😁
Very calm and cozy vibe
Sup Clint, super excited about this video my dude. Wanna wish you and yours the most amazing Christmas and New Year's! Peace and love homie! See ya next year man!
I think i've definitely found the channel, inspiration and quality workflow to push myself learning UE and try to do my 1st shortfilm in 2023.
Thanks a lot for your top quality tutorials and tips!
What a satisfying video is this at the end of this year. You always save me on right time. Lots of love
Always satisfying watching these videos! Have a nice break
Thanks man! You too!
I really enjoyed your video, thanks! You inspired me to move on to unreal, honestly, I'm so tired by all those 3dsmax+vray archviz stuff I'm doing for the last 15 years! This is the fresh air you give on the channel!
Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for another great video Clint!
Hey right back at ya! Thanks and enjoy your break!
Awesome as always 😍
At the right moment I'm trying to build a snowy scene myself. Thanks for your awesome videos
These breakdown format of tutorials are much more helpful than longer step-by-step ones.
The fireplace was a good idea 👌
truly amazing! Its so refreshing to see this beautiful work come out every once and a wile! Even if im not sitting along to create with you its an amazing background voice to be in front of me wile I work on my own projects. Congrats on the million subs and I cant wait to see what other stuff you come out with! Truly an inspiring video!
Looking forward to this snowy Blizzard
tutorial!!!
Love the world. Its so beautiful and your storytelling too
Amazing how you can do this stuff so easily, I'm finally gonna try these things (got my first studio laptop, finally!), gonna be seeing all your videos from now on!
You can also use the modeling tools to reset the pivot to center of mass or at the bottom of the trunk. I'd love to see this with the dynamic footsteps on landscape interaction as well
Amazing video, loved it. For the map creation part in ue5, the only thing that comes to mind that you’re not taking advantage of (or showing) is the modeling tools, they are super useful to quickly change the pivot, warp some of the trees, cut part of meshes that are clipping out in the lego process, mirror an object etc, Just knowing you can easily do some of those things quickly in real time gets your mind running on what else you can tweak your scenes.
12:44 When you focused on another thing, you forgot that you put the smoke in the coffee mug.😂
Thanks for another great UE5 vid, always learning something new with each one!
Perfect! just what i needed! Thanks alot :D
love the mug vapor
Can't get enough of this channel! Was a pleasure participating in Moving Meditations!
So glad you enjoy the vids 🙏🏼
thanks to your video, it is always helpful to get an unreal engine in your new job. thank you.
Guess I have something to do over the long weekend! Thanks man
i have been watching you and Corridor Crew for years. I have learned a lot from you guys and Unreal has been on my bucket list as a filmmaker and VFX artist for a while. I have been producing the entire first season of my Vampire series - Martyrs - The Chronicles of Blood. Originally I was going to film minature sets of castles, landscapes and towers, however my sponsor dropped out and so digital set pieces are my option at this stage. I will be watching your channel religiously over the next year as I tackle this daunting task. Thank you for creating this channel. I feel confident I may actually get through everything because of you. No pressure. ha ha.
Great tips man! love it :)
Love these videos, please keep making more of them!!
that floating mug vapor tho
Lolol, can’t win em all.
Man your videos are amazing.
woow thanks man happy merry christmas
The chimney and the tree look lovely
I love your videos, thank you for this walk-through. It's people like you that allow scrubs like me to approach this without getting too scared. You might want to check your coffee mug though, it seems to have an out of body experience ever now and then lol
Lovely work!
What a lot of great info for such a short video. Noice! The steam in the coffee cup! 😉
Fantastic as usual thanks 🙏
Your presentation is formally outstanding, professionalism.
Great UE stuff as always. Thanks alot
Thanks for this nice lesson!
12:33 *I laughed so hard at this part hahaha*
I learn more everyday thanks to amazing creators like yourself.
Few things I learnt while learning Unreal this year (may be specific to UE5)
1. There is another option in the Actors menu called Mergre Actors - this option does the same thing a Convert to Static mesh but if you have multiple sections you want to texture differently it will keep them all separate. The Convert option only does this if they are already textured, and even then if they're using the same texture then they get combined too. Using both can make texturing complex objects much simpler.
2. The Pivot offest option only sets the point on that instance and can still be reset back to the actual origins of the mesh. If you go into Modelling mode there is a Pivot option in one of the sections which allows you to permanently alter the pivot point of the base static mesh. So if you now add from the content drawer again the pivot will always be where you set it.
And finally although its not directly UE related - LEGO is always an adjective. So LEGO bricks, LEGO elements, LEGO sets, etc. Never, ever "legos."
This is great! Thanks for the awesome video.
I'm trying to create a horror game in 2023 with UE5. I've been developing it all this year, learning as much as I can. I want to make it semi realistic and heavy focus on the story. I've also been reading up about how to write a compelling story so the player can come out of the experience terrified, but also moved by my characters and world building
Perfect Bro. ❤️❄️
Peter flipping off the camera made my day
Looks awesome, especially shaking clothes in the wind adding final touch. I would just suggest using openlands plugin to add snow trails. Anyway great job!
@pwnisher
You should look into Level Instances, super easy to use. But then you could easily duplicate your entire level out to loop, then you'll still have the ability to very easily make changes to the source level without needing to make the change multiple times!
Wonderful video, also didn’t even notice the fireplace was on your computer untill halfway through 😂
Thank you for sharing your experience and Technics, your my inspiration ♥️, love from India 🇮🇳
I love the steam at 12:39! ;D
unreal engine chilling with 1k free assets
blender users molding the universe from default cube: am I a joke to u?
As always, great tutorial! Thanks a lot.
Have you considered using World Creator with UE5?
I have yeah!! The issue is though I’ve had NO time to learn new stuff/innovate this year, imm really hoping to build time in for that next year so i can grow.
Awesome video and tutorial! Happy holidays and thank you for sharing!
How many man hours did you put into this? There were a few upgrades I thought of that I'd be curious how you might approach.
The way how the fog leaves the cup from 12:35 haha!
i love these videos, you think you could so some kind of forest area next?
dude, your content is super interesting and amazing. You make us love animation and digital art more, but those of us who speak Spanish need a channel in Spanish!
God I love these videos
Thank you for the content I subscribed to your channel. I am currently in school for 3d modeling and animation, and attempting to make some original content for my reel before I graduate( in roughly a year). I am trying to learn the fastest way to: create a model with a character sheet, rig it( thanks for the tip in the video), and animate it in a custom environment. The character creation is fine, but attempting to create an environment that automatically interacts with my characters animation is difficult. I just don't know enough yet to do it quickly. Back to grind it's not going to learn itself. Look forward to your next video hope you enjoyed the holidays.
Amazing
I thought that steam was comped in, haha, around 12:35 you see that it comes loose and the card starts to slide upwards lol man I love the simplicity of these videos kid, I've been farting around for while in blender and have opened UE on several occasions but never did much in it. Thanks for making it easy to understand, these tutorials are always so relaxing and extremely easy to follow along with. You have been straight killing it my dude!
Im trying to learn as much as i can in blender and UE5 so i wont have to pay people on fiver to do what i need, and if i get good enough i could sell services on fiverr. Thanks for your amazing videos , they help a lot 🙏🏽🙏🏽🔥🔥
Great vid Clint! In 2023 I want to get better at Blender and Unreal for 3d art, transfer my dreams to 3d art and make music to accompany the visual, cheers!
u are awesome man
If you also made some footprints in the snow, it was epic. Anyway it's a great tutorial.
Love it Have you tried path tracing in UE?
2023: Trying to learn UE properly. I had an incredible boost in creativity a week ago when I got a job to do a nice and well-contained still-image viz of an industrial thing, and I decided to just pull the baind-aid off and go with Unreal this time. I didn't look back. It's incredible. The only thing that's a bit worrisome is that the development goes so fast and the changes are so huge between certain versions that you can't really know what to use from old viz tutorials in Unreal. Baking light is gone, that much I know, but keeping up with all the other minute details that have changed between 4 and 5 is kinda hard. Like, displacement in materials is gone now? At least on the Megascans stuff? What's up with that? Anyway, really appreciate your videos, and the content of the other pros out there, they have been a huge help. Merry Christmas from Sweden.
Amazing tips and tricks, really getting into Unreal myself, unfortunately on about day 21 of my journey (last week) my 5950X, 16 core CPU just up and DIED for some unknown reason 😭 and I hadn't used it for a year, but it was out of warranty so that (and because the mobo also failed) was $800 down the drain! 😢
Couldn't afford a new one, so had to get some cheaper bits, but I'm really looking forward to learning Unreal 5 and I'm starting with learning from your amazing woodland render! I'll be bringing in some plant or stone objects that I scanned (or will scan) myself in the England, maybe some props and some SoundFX I'll record later, wish me luck!!
Damn I love Unreal.
freakin epic
Great vid man. Trying to follow along; say did you create those premade characters? i can''t seem to locate them anywhere in the version i dl.
Thanks for all you do! Come visit Mammoth, I have a place you can stay!
Corridor crew did some videos before where they had a contest to make the most satisfying video. You guys used looping to do that. You should have made the figure walk around in a circle or a figure 8 and then start over again. Making the figure walk up some windy, snowy road would be cool Seems like a quick way to add some variation to the video.
I’d love to learn how to simulate a windy poncho!
Merry Christmas!
Oh woops it's not Christmas anymore
This video just got me in the holiday spirt gain for some reason.
Big fan of Clint and this channel and am learning so much. But did anybody else think the steam off that coffee looked a little suspicious? Especially at 12:37?
peter on blue print tips hahahaha 😂🤣
The vapour effect on the coffee cup just said no at 12:39 😂
I think you should do a slowed down version of how to make the seamless loop.
Your scenes never disappoint. This stuff is what made me switch engines to unreal use though I use a more game development oriented laptop with active touch screen to reduce my required tdp and desk space. I use an Asus rog 16x flow amd5 with gpu PC if you do art with pressure sensors like zbrush and blender an active screen is a must if you reduce power as an eco person with hybrid solar controllers tdp matters to me that said ppl who draw and use unreal5 need to be aware of that awesome PC to make stuff like this one at a more much manageable level. Though that dial on laptop looks neat it be annoying if you want also game on the work laptop. I expect that laptop is around 4grand too the one I use is like half that in cost. I priced most workplace pics better then my laptop as an easy 3grand starting range with an over 300 wat tdp. Over all nice project also have you seen the guy who made a short film fully with ai applications it be neat if you tried something on the scale assets an see if his work flow might work if you tried an experimental set with ai made sound and all that too if your interested in what solar hybrid controllers look up Eg4 it's crazy tech their alloyed me to run fully off grid and make game cc..
Nice work on this one. For 2023 how about, Raytraced cel-shading in UE5? xD
what am I trying to learn? a whole freakin' Unreal 😁
I need to know if the steam off of the mug was added in post, its too perfect the entire time!
great
Awesome! video thanks man! Quick question. Is the coffee cup and the steam coming of it fake? Why is it streaming the entire 17min long? Or am just imagining things lol
It's great. How can you make footprints in the snow?.
Peter's a charm
Yer my fave!
I really want to make VR environments for Oculus. More importantly in Unreal with quixel
Great tutorial!
Didn't you miss the character shadow?
smoke in da cup dudeeee xD
