Thanks for a great video. I’ve just literally started learning to use Unreal 5 and this was just perfect because I’m primarily wanting to do art for illustrations. But having the option for real time 360 views is just awesome. Great work
Absolutely loved this tutorial!! Posted below in the comments a really important question regarding photorealism and this tutorial and in your discord!
I was thinking the same thing. Hey you're not to bad yourself Danny. Is your transition to sculpting in Blender complete or are you still masterfully working in Zbrush?
i dont know why I watched this, I have never used any animation or design tools in my life, but this was fascinating! I can tell your hard work and experience and tech allowing this is indeed awesome! Would love to see if you could do some idle animations to this character, facial gestures, etc!
@@artofjhill HI! Why does this 30fps video look like 60fps?? You did something unusual between the frames that made them smooth. Transitions between frames are smooth, unlike 99.99% of videos on YT, (especially those recorded with even the best smartphones)
I didn't understood a single word that man said. Still watched all of it. I'll join a 3D course in a few months, hope i get somewhat close to this someday.
This is actually masterful, dude. The fact that you break it down like this and really elaborate on the simplicity of the steps to really execute an amazing result is actually so useful. Great to have insight on things like this. Amazing work, J.
I have no clue what you're doing 99% of the time, but I can't stop watching/ trying to understand. I am a massive fan of animation and VFX work. Thanks for sharing your process! Obv took a ton of time.
I love how this is simultaneously a showcase of your knowledge and skill within your craft, and a love letter to the tools you use and the people who develop them. Great video all around, even though I know very little about the subject!
i don’t know why this was on my youtube recommended considering i literally NEVER watch these kinds of videos but this was just absolutely amazing to see. watched it the whole way through and just WOW the talent.
I really love the marker drawings on her arms, it adds so much personality. You make it look so easy but I dabbled enough in c4d to know it ain't. Most of this goes over my head and now I wish I had an extra lifetime just to learn all this stuff! Great video, beautiful result!
"How I made my own Character FOR Unreal Engine 5", almost thought Unreal was gona make modelling and sculpting tools obsolete haha. Amazing work though! The hair came out so nice in engine! edit: Looks like he ended up changing the title haha
I know you could take the textures, but what is the best way to transfer them to your model. Is using projection in zbrush or sp the fastest and best way?
First, you take the dinglepop, and you smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches. Then you take the dinglebop and push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It's important that the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all of the fleeb juice. Then a Shlami shows up and he rubs it, and spits on it. Then you cut the fleeb. There's several hizzards in the way. The blaffs rub against the chumbles, and the plubus and grumbo are shaved away. That leaves you with a regular old plumbus!
It does have this. I use the partcle system in blender for all my hair and you can even make the hair texture with nodes inside blender and export the alembic file right over to UE4/5
Oh, my gerd! If anyone heard a loud crashing sound, that was my lower jaw as it made contact with my room's dusty wooden floor. Wonderful artwork. Even placing aside all of the side notes of 'stealing' from other resources, the result is breathtaking and the glimpses of the work needed to do this is intense. This artist/renderer's brain must be wired differently. 🎨
@@artofjhill do you have a 3d object file that is open to use? im trying to get into game dev for school and would love to use this as the playable character.
@@artofjhill Me2. As ZB uses a special scale...I'm using the new global export set to 1000. I'm not sure, but if you leave it at 1. It comes in so small in ue5. Is that correct workflow I'm just wondering?
I love it, I did exactly the same thing with Unreal engine 4, downloaded their human scene then stole all the materials and lighting for my own model. It saves so much time and effort. I need to update that project now with UE5. Pity I don't have an RTX capable GPU, I really want to play with ray tracing. Awesome workflow, I really need to get back into Z-Brush again, it has come a long way since I used it last.
When I saw this a few years ago, I thought that it's from some game, like an official model. Damn, I'm impressed, you are very skilled man! Keep on going, I'll check out more of your stuff.
Oh man - some skills! Some crazy progress from Megadrive days. This amount of detail potentially driven by A.I. is a big deal. Mind blown. Thanks Dude. Plug me back into the Matrix!
Awesome work man! I really love the "cyborg / futiristic design", maybe I would have loved it even more if the eyes were animated to follow the camera and a bit of "breathing movement" to make her more realistic ! congrats again :)
Wow! This field has really changed. I never was a professional with graphics, but was an art major before I got into computers. I remember when Maya came out in 1998. I was working in VRML and created a website with a 3D art gallery about that time. Before that, I read books about C programs to create ray tracing using matrix arrays. Now it's 20 years later and I've been in the ERP world programming massively complex business systems. This is fun to watch.
This is one of the best workflow videos I have seen....one question- How did you learn all the software transitions and gain the in depth knowledge of each and every software? I can barely transition smoothly between blender and maya lol :(
Glad you liked the video! I’ve just learned through practice and I use all these programs for work so pretty much every day for years. You get more comfortable with everything the more you use it
This is REALLY interesting to me! I am BIG into VR and to be able to create things for VR like player characters, worlds and mmorpgs would be an amazing job! Thanks for showing us this! It has inspired me.
Hey man that was really cool! Can't believe this is the first time I have come across your channel before. Loved all of the detail you put into the character, and all of the little Easter eggs you added to the character as well. Great work using Unreal to Render your work, I loved those final shots! I wish I had the skill to make a character look that awesome.
Spent most of the time, my jaw on the ground repeating to my self, 'Don't message him, saying"you're a god!!" But here I am J, man alive! I see it, but I almost don't believe it. Although at times it's technically way over my head, but your generosity and clarity to lead us through the process is as astonishing as it is heartwarming!!! My friend, 'you are a god!' Stunning work!
maskara goes directly on the hairs of the eyelashes. The name of the make up that is painted in a line on the skin just above the eyelashes is called eyeliner. no judgment. just letting you know :) Cool sculpt!
I'm new to everything unreal and computer design. I'd say 99% of what you mentioned went over my head but the video was clear and concise. I think I'm going to try learning some of the stuff featured in this video because this was mind blowing!
ah yes, bubblegum arms, bright green hair, robotic parts and red eyes, this is indeed the flexiest deviant art sonic oc. Don't get me wrong I respect the craft, the knowledge you have and the technology gone into this. The final colors are just not coherent and that's from a ratio issue I'd say. Good job I learned a lot tho so thanks for that
@@edbeded punks do have color theory going on in their outfits. They usually match their pants and their hair. They have big symbol pieces and noise all over the rest make the piece stand out more and they use the noise to communicate their beliefs systems. This is just a dude sucking up to some companies. There is no soul. The colors are ugly. I love chocolate milk stay sad.
Idk if your taking suggestions but you should do a character based or motivated by tron, more specifically tron: legacy since I think that techno neon look is dope. And you might like it 👍
wow amaszing i just started ue 5 and the stuff you did there amaze me to be able to create a character and add eyes clothes etc its so satisfaying ,i try to learn ue 5 for game dev to make my own game , i might try to learn 3d modeling abit, this is also satisafaying, looking for more content from you this is amazing !
I really feel that thing with the elbows. You should probably just redo it completely, but you worry it won't be quite the same, so you end up spending forever to fix it.
I come back and watch this like once a month. It's amazing and it's what makes me believe in myself in my own journey through 3D and animation. Thank you
I really liked your video and a big thank you to everyone who has been developing these assets. How long in real time did it take you to create this project?
