Damn, crazy sad he does not make vids anymore. Was hoping for an updated video on UE5 -Awesome video btw

Thank you so much for the help.

best master material when i have seen. thank you!

Amazingly helpful. I have one question though, in my Material Layers I have a few parameters, from my material Instance all the parameters work just fine EXCEPT for constants. I don't even have the option to change any of my constant parameters. Why is this?

2024 and Ryann Manning is still giving Much thanks for this

He's talking about this lecture: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5nKZaifp7KWm8U

Thank you so much! :)

really really useful tutorial. Learned a lot of information I'll be using in my levels in only 35 minutes. Thanks a lot for the video!

Sir,I am getting trouble to create HDRi material could anyone please help me ?

This is a great video and resource! Thank you!!

Thank you so much. To the point, no unnecessary chatter, but when you realize there is something more to tell, you do. Good video! And I like the clear voice and the speed.

THANK YOU. For some reason I had so much trouble finding this functionality.

Anyone know why hasn't Layered Materials gained more popularity? So few people have ever talked about it years later. Not even a single item on the store selling some nice premade list of 'pre-made blends' or something? The only thing I can think of, is that the name of the feature is awful and overlapping with several other unrelated features.

Is it still good for Lumen? I found out that indirectional light is very bad for performance when you use Lumen instead of static lightning. Is there any better method or I should just switch to statick lightning in this case?

虽然是四年前的教程，但在 2024 年的今天看起来仍然非常好。它解决了我的许多问题，我非常感激！我希望你一切顺利

that helped a lot thnks

The best tut for layered materials. thank you!

Noooooo you don't place the captures at the character's view height. It only worked here b/c it's the same as the window's height, which is what you really want. If you want a window to reflect what it "sees", then you have to put the capture *right at the window*. Then the parallaxing of the bench reflection will disappear, and you won't get those inaccurate distortions. Imagine if the character leans on the window sill looking out - the reflection would have the back of his head in it. This is probably old-school game production where you couldn't use as many as you wanted.

is there a way to me to get a specific layer of the Material Attribute Layers into a node(of type MA)? just like the GetMaterialAtributes node but only a single layer

How to make a square mask instead of exact wireframe?

ok, you did well but I could not find one person explain how we did for character as appearance like Disney.. I hope will be you to explain

Hi Ryan thank you very much for sharing ur knoledge. One quick question I would like to reproduce something like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3Wpdp-Bidhgh80 for my characters in UE5, following this steps is more than enought, right? I guess later is just a matter of adding an Studio Scene HDRI? or there is something else that needs to be done for having a lig-rig lookdev scene like that? Thank you very much!

great toot . perfectly explained and completely understood , thanks

I dont know if this is correct. 3 lux would be night, just above moon light. Such a sunny day should be more like 120.000 lux. The exposure you set to less than 1 but this is also nearly night, a sunny day like this should be 13-16.

Thank You! 👍

dude this is galaxy brain content.

How to set different physical materials for each layer?

God tier tutorial, amazing. I'm massively late to the part but yeah, thank you for this. I don't know how much has changed by now with this setup but i'm going to run with this see how I get on!

thanks!

Awesome!! thank you so much.

Thank you so much, you've helped me a lot!

Why we do bake, why we cant do realtime lighting ??... why we always want to bake lighting?

if only it could show quads

Thanks for sharing your folder structure. Do you know if it's possible to create a "master folder" containing all standard assets (outside of the UE project folder structure) that are never changed and then reference them in different Unreal projects so they aren't duplicated for each project? This would be for Arch Viz purposes. Totally understand this is not a good practice for game design. I also thought about having all my design project as separate levels in one Unreal project but that sounds like it would get messy

what about emission pass?

thank you bro

Its old tutorial but still extremely useful :D

Thanks for this Great Tip! Could you upload and provide other links to download these tools? Please! 🙏🙏Because the original links posted don't work anymore 😭

This is great ! thank you! does ue5 still allow to import the masks?

Can you blend 2 actual materials somehow? Like I want to hide a wall and smoothly blend to a wireframe material but without duplicate meshes. When it's obstructing the view and I took the pixelnormal projected to 0,0,1 and normalized, the pawnlocation - pixelworldposition also normalized and plugged their dot product into my dither alpha node. Tweaked it so the transition is between 0 and 0.1 making it very nice but I want to show the wireframe of the wall when it is see through.

Consider setting the desktop resolution (or the capture window area size) to 1920x1080 before you start recording. Because the text is too small! I can't see shit! ☹ God forbid someone watch this on a phone or even a tablet. Otherwise it's an okay video.

I did the firewall thing but it still does not work, I get 0 machines in my coordinator.

Thank you for making this. its super helpful

Usually I've been using screen space reflexions but I've wanted to try out something different. The problem is,sphere reflexions or cube reflexions don't seem to work properly. In the video you drag a sphere reflexion into the scene,build it and boom you have nice reflexions in the scene. If I do that I can barely notice the reflexions,everything has a really dark blue tone and the only way to notice the reflexions is to look very very closely. Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?

I watched the whole thing just to see what "Global force mip levels" does and you spent time explaining simple shit like how the interface zoom works but then you just ignored that one that is least self explanatory lol

Thanks for showing how to do this outside of the editor too. I was so confused on how to add multiple plugins. I didn't realize there had to be a comma after the curly bracket. Thank you Ryan.

Thanks. I'm looking for a Blender Asset Browser style organizer. Is there anything in Unreal like that? I have so many packs in my library but its impossible to find things. I know there's a great door somewhere. Is in this one? No. This one? You can spend an hours opening and closing projects. I want to be able to put all the doors (or whatever) from all the various packs in one place and just migrate from wherever it is into the current new project. Anything like that exist?

thank you!

how can the lighting be 'neutral' when you use a HDRI with colour in it?

- If you're using raytracing, you don't need to use refection captures - Reflection Captures are good for performance improvement - Reflection Captures could be overlapped, you can put the reflection capture at a specific place that you want to have an accurate reflection result
