[@RahhmiPoofs]

second one ~ Two Sided. No. DO NOT DO THAT. Use that for something like Glass or cloth or hair cards where the physical geometry is consistent from both sides!! Do not use it for something like the wall asset as the "wood plank" part bulging out will now bulge in. Instead, Select the placed object, go to properties, and "shadow Two Sided" after searching for "two". This will cause the shadow to work without giving you an inaccurate view of the facings. Your ground trick (if not set to nanite) will also very quickly overload the project. Yikes!

[@mauritoxoni]

OMG Was about to comment this too.

[@daemoriazy8751]

Is almost like this set of tricks should never be used in actual production for a good reason. It's that youtube trap of making something look (not really) good for thumbnails alone.

[@rocker10039]

You have saved multiple Projects with this comment lol, I would break my pc if one more project crashed on me :")

[@RahhmiPoofs]

I don't think it's intentional sabotage or anything on the part of the poster but... woah.... Ehh.

[@echoecho9762]

What the am I watching? Tricks about UE5 but 50% is paid promotion about MSI Pen and a laptop.

[@JoshyyV2]

Yea almost all of these videos are just grimy ad segments

[@sanketvaria9734]

don't make it two sided, it costs rendering. instead there is an option in that asset that allows shadows regardless of normals pointing to camera or not.

[@1166NYC]

Video Notes: Height Maps Setting Material as Two-Sided (material property/instance) Modeling Tools Editor Mode to adjust meshes, set arrays, etc In modeling tools, apply material to plane-(in remesh) raise # of triangles-(in displace) texture to 2d and apply displacement map which would be the Blue ARD texture. Adjust subdivision if too spiky Blueprint Class-DefaultCameraShake. Track the new class in sequencer’s camera actor(camera shake option)

[@captainmuller3159]

hi, can you tell me how add/ paint textures to a building in UE5 i made using sketchup pro? i imported the model into UE but whenever i change the wall to some concrete texture from quixel bridge, i looks like a plain color (or the textures are tooo small that it looks like one plain color,idk)

[@glormond]

I always pass by “5 magic tricks” videos because I was disappointed so many times with clickbait titles. But this one.. man, I’m glad I haven’t missed this one! That’s a real helpful piece.

[@kaingagame4351]

Really? I thought many of these were against best practices. 2 sided wall materials? Why not 2 sided shadows! And the SHEER NUMBER of vertices for the sand "technique"... People are going to run into serious optimization issues using tips like these!

[@SpasmAtaK]

@@kaingagame4351 Yeah, I felt really uncomfortable watching some of these ! Since we have Nanite, there's a much more performance friendly way to add displacement within any Static Mesh's parameter under Nanite where you can add one or displacement maps, specify the magnitude and height mid range. Nanite will manage the tesselation on its own. It takes less steps and gives a better result overall so why not teach this as a "tip" ?

[@CmdrTigerKing]

lies

[@tuna1867]

@@SpasmAtaKtrue, and teaching this as a technique for better blending of some asset is also ridiculous, since there are runtime virtual textures

[@michaeldiaz4285]

You’re joking right? This was an ad for the laptop

[@FurMuzzleGames]

The most important thing in the modelling section for me is the pivot. You can change the origin point permanently without using other tools

[@micbab-vg2mu]

All tips were useful. I have just started using Unreal Engine and I am most amazed at the rendering speed.

[@carlanthonydelosangeles7411]

Unreal Engine looks so crisp. Love it to bits!

[@Dontstopbelievingman]

Thank you!! Ive been looking for 'pattern' tool but i didn't know what it was called, so couldn't find it. Also height map tutorials were always 'create a height map' without really explaining how or why. Really appreciate this vid.

[@juliabohorquez3535]

This is soo useful, I'm a spanish student learning Unreal 5 this year, and you are saving my life with these videoss ❤❤❤ Thanksss!!!

youve definitely earned your follow bro. Super helpful videos!!

[@tylonstudios]

Muchas Gracias amigo! Excelentes Tips 🎉🎉🎉

[@pavel12579]

Such as great information!, thanks.

[@nawafilm]

Loved this video. Very informative ✌️and tip 4 really blowed my mind 🧠🤯💥

[@peanutartt]

cool tips, I think the best advice/trick of all for anyone that is struggling to reach high cinematic quality is to learn the basics first. Understand composition, lighting, color theory and how these 3 interact with each other, those are the most valuable "tricks" in creating art regardless of software

[@supercrazy50000]

isn't the 4th one going to be really heavy to render? isn't better to use the duplication tool on the remesh plugin so the engine uses already baked data to copy it?

[@sanderossi8013]

Wow. Very useful these tips! Almost all of them where on my mind the last 1.5 years trying to learn UE5, no kidding.

[@Lootboy3000]

bro amazing work thx

[@BlueAizu_]

These tips are incredible! It's not my first time using 3D software, but I did just started learning Unreal. Height maps are definitely something I wish I knew about sooner. I think I'll be getting a lot of mileage out of these five tricks, especially the modeling plugin. Also, tip number 4 did indeed blow my mind! Might be too resource intense for a game, but for a movie I can see it adding a lot of life to a scene.

[@saleemkhokhar3458]

thank you Pal you have save me time and effort!

[@someoneedits]

wow great tricks jordy we would love to see more of these

[@ATomCzech]

Awesome. Thanks!. And this horse in the gras field is you project or something on Marketplace please?

[@8BitGamerYT1]

So this is the laptop that got stolen. 😢 It's been a long time since I watched this channel, but I got the "we got robbed video in my page...." 😢 I hope you get that back or the insurance company would have a positive approach.

[@pedrorivera1892]

amazing! Thank you!

[@ClovesnSpice]

I went into this thinking I'd learn nothing of value, but I honestly had no clue there was a modelling plugin in-engine. Although I'm not entirely sure how performance friendly it would be when used as you did.(20000 faces is insane for a small detail like the floor [at that point just use normal maps and manually place rocks where it looks like it should overlap])

[@aceplaysgamesnetwork9566]

Great tips sick laptop. I already have a msi laptop now and it’s only like two years old.

[@snookofficial7211]

Does the re-mesh affect the UV mapping of an object?

[@terrablader]

your a major pro thank you

[@retrophyx]

I would have gone easy layering the high density plane around. It would be more effective if you switched to landscape and used custom meshes to fill the gaps. Unless youre just doing something quick like filming. Those displacements can be high performance and paralax can do it better.

[@EdVizenor]

QUESTION: Does your unreal 5 course, well is it outdated with 5.2 or would it be fairly compatible? Thanks.

[@lucaneva494]

Compatible, every single update on UE5 is for adding now stuff on it. Not an other "final version" of UE5.

[@kariimora]

Can you use displacement texture with Voxel landscape? Been trying to get Voxel textures to not be tiled and have more of a natural blend from grass to stone aswell as painting other textures onto it for different biomes

[@photographyhouse1419]

hey my lovely, the two sided tip was 1000 times the best tip ive have needed, so thank you 🧸

[@cmdelavega]

Not seeing the "Pattern" in the Create Modeling section. I'm using UE 5.0.3 - is this only higher versions?

[@TimMorrisUSA]

That was stupid helpful. Thanks!

[@24vencedores11]

I love your tut much and you're really a good professor. Can't you show us how to animate tears ? 😭

[@MonderMurshed]

Thanks bro, pro content

[@webtron44]

you were right. #4 is awesome

[@KDBrowne]

Quick tip for the camera shake. If you set the duration value to 0.0 it will be continuous to your timeline.

[@burov.a.4467]

Thank you for a useful lessons! I would like to see a lesson on how to competently make a realistic landscape with a high-quality texture of earth with dirt with displacement. Usually in lessons they create a landscape and throw a grass texture on it, but it looks ugly, blurry and flat, probably because the landscape is too big for such textures. Perhaps it is better to create small highly polygonal rectangles and already throw textures on them so that they look detailed and unstretched. I'm sorry for my English, I hope I was able to convey the essence of the question)

Coming from unity dan decided to learn unreal. wonder about trick number 4. is the trick will affect the performance ?

It does heavily affect performance if nanite is disabled.

[@MR3DDev]

Even a pro Unreal Engine like myself user learn from these videos.

[@-addezz-8516]

But when i want to make lets say an island, and i want 3d ground textures. Do i have to copy paste that one tile to make it the whole map. Or is there a better and quicker way? I made one nice looking island, put ocean there etc, then i put the surface, and its 2d. Can i make it 3?

[@MightBeRasor]

Woah watch out! There's a video in your sponsor advertisement!

[@floatingdweller3697]

like always, you guys kill it with teaching! seriously, been a big fan two years ago and since then i have also encountered much other helpful inspiring youtubers (for video and now virtual production) but none offer top quality balance of information and entertainment like y'all; and yes, I've learned so much with y'all so big thank you guys 🙏 keep up the awesome balance!! P.S. height maps is my fav

[@genjutsuedits]

useful!

[@captainmuller3159]

hi, can anyone tell me how to add/ paint textures to a building in UE5 i made using sketchup pro? i imported the model into UE but whenever i change the wall to some concrete texture from quixel bridge, it looks like a plain color (or the textures are tooo small that it looks like one plain color,idk) and how to add plants on wall (i’m trying to make an abandon building in UE5 from a fresh building made in sketchup)

[@zbieraj]

In Unreal Engine 5.2 the displacement is brought back. One note though - you need to apply it in the original mesh, not in the material. But that means that this fake displacement method is no longer needed.

[@ATLANTAENVY]

thanks but how di i make more landscapes?

[@AdrianCzupta]

yo this laptop is so nice

[@arielshpitzer]

i wish they would support dissplacement same way as it was on ue4.

[@TorQueMoD]

Just keep in mind if you use a 2-sided material, you're doubling the geometry of that mesh, so while it's easy to turn it on, it's expensive to use. A better method is to use CSG geometry to fill in the backs.

[@noorbashaameer8636]

Which version of Unreal 5 is this, I'm not able to find the pattern option in the modelling toolkit? I'm using 5.0.3

[@Geeksmithing]

Two Sided Material check box has been in Unreal Engine since at least 2.5.... How is this worthy?

[@rremnar]

Unreal Engine is starting to look better and better the more I check into it. I may just drop Godot and try it out. Though I think it maybe too much power for my simple project. I wonder how all the new tech in the laptop is not catching on fire. PC's need heavy duty cooling, wether it be liquid or air or a combination of both. How is the lap top keeping cool? Certainly a tiny flat fan aint doing it. Laptops are meant for simple business; not gaming, nor video editing, nor any other heavy duty things. Also that sort of tech needs a lot of power. How is that flat tiny laptop providing it? Yea I am not buying the hype; when PC's need a lot of heavy shit to run properly.

You have no idea how helpful some of the tips of put in this video are for newbies like myself. Thank you guys SO much for this video!

Can we please get some blender tutorials too?

[@John-cz7fo]

I've had a ROG laptop before and the batteries burn out really fast. They're basically a condensed rig because you'll be stuck plugging them in constantly. The 4070 WILL NOT be enough memory for modern graphics and gaming. It is a strong choice but if you want the most bang for your buck, just wait until batteries get better or get a traditional rig.
