can u show us how to make a toon shader?

[@Vanessacooksxo]

im shook u literally know how to do everything keep it up :)

[@CodeWithRo]

I appreciate that! 😂

[@Mireneye]

I'm in 5.4 and I recognize I could not find the Retarget Asset. I tried the true and tested enabling Plugin Content, but it was not there either from what I could tell. I'll figure it out eventually. I'll update when I do. Thank you for a great tutorial!

[@Mireneye]

For anyone with the same issue. The Import relies on the default Mannequin IK, which you can get from a variety of base projects(I picked mine from Lyra). It's the IK_Mannequin file in Unreal. It needs to be specifically at: Content/Characters/Mannequins/Rigs Note this may not solve all load errors. I'm still looking into this.

This is so cool. It would be so fun to make a genshin-esque game.

[@CodeWithRo]

RIGHT! Or even an Ananta like game 😂

[@oWIZARDO]

Amazing video as always! Would love to see you cover pcg content. Im using Gaea2 to create my landscape and created a huge map and got it imported in Unreal, struggling to use the PCG Biomes plugin as it crashes often when I try to generate the whole map at once. Not seeing alot of videos that explains what to do in these cases or how to use it properly. I ended up buying Massive World plugin on Fab and just using that to draw my biomes via spline tools they have. So much easier and faster. This could be another videoseries on its own, how to use Massive World lol

[@Mcreator121]

what I want to know is how do people animate stylized hair in UE5? how to make it move in wind? Is it cloth or bone physics?

[@CodeWithRo]

Probably easier to do in blender but you can see the animations and how the hair is done

[@Hash_kw]

Love this

[@CodeWithRo]

Thank you 🥳🥳

[@openrch]

nice tutorial, thank you. where to find the retarget asset RTG* ? i can't find it when using UE 5.5

[@CodeWithRo]

It should be where you imported the .vrm

[@buystander]

Will it have problems when exporting in games?? How's is the copyright when you use it in your projects or uploading online?? Thanks

[@Byakko_Izanagi]

it highly depends on what you do with it, if you make your own stuff no worries but obviously dont go around remaking actual anime chars and using them. if you use their marketplace (BOOTH) be very very very careful and always check the terms of use, there are a good amount of sellers that dont allow distribution of any kind and only allow use in vrchat. often these terms are just an image which often times you will only find in japanese as well, you can translate this via your phone with the google translate camera thing but most sellers will also include an english file, most links go into a google doc or google drive

[@nyomanbandarayani6830]

You can't use it in a commercial project. It just for personal use only

[@nyomanbandarayani6830]

@CreepyCurlew it's not CCO license. You can't use it for a commercial project, just personal use only (for portfolio). You can translate their term to English. If being sued on court is not a problem, you can use it for commercial project. So, it's up to you.

[@CodeWithRo]

@@buystander yes you can use the models made in games you create commercially as long it doesn't allow people to create/export characters for commercial use. you should ideally make your own characters since booth can have copy pasted characters and still allow it for commercial use. Feel free to check their FAQ to fact check! vroid.pixiv.help/hc/en-us/articles/4405813333657-Can-I-use-the-models-created-with-VRoid-Studio-Stable-Ver-for-commercial-purposes#:~:text=for%20commercial%20purposes%3F-,The%20models%20created%20with%20VRoid%20Studio%20Stable%20Ver,be%20used%20for%20commercial%20purposes.

[@viciousvndta]

I wanted to do a similar workflow. But sadly I might need more options to edit the model than VRoid is offering. Custom clothes or body adjustments for example. Which leaves me with blender, however exporting from blender properly to Unreal is absolut pain. It is so much easier from Cinema 4D or Maya or just anything else but blender. Sadly, for the future I am stuck with Blender. If anyone can export rigged models from Blender to Unreal that got imported from VRoid with correct Scale (1, 1, 1) and Rotation (0, 0, 0) and Location (0, 0, 0) please let me know. For me at least rotation and sometimes scale is more or less than 1 by a fraction which makes it glitch through out the game and it can not be fixed in engine. Unity suffers from similar problems all caused by Blender but ONLY Blender, no other 3D Software does this - what a beautiful product, not.

[@Neos-g6c]

oh my god thi is so greath

[@CodeWithRo]

Thank you 🥳🥳🥳

[@gamejamreject]

I wish you did a video packaging the game. There are issues with that.

[@CodeWithRo]

Yeah 5.5 has issues with builds

[@gamejamreject]

@ everytime they release the update that happens,

[@Byakko_Izanagi]

some versions of the plugin require you to compile the plugin, there are a couple releases where you dont have to bother with that. dont remember from top of my head which ones but iirc im still on the one from early 2024 and had no packaging errors coming from the plugin with that

[@gamejamreject]

@@Byakko_Izanagi yeah i have a working version of 5.3 it gives an error but in the end it still builds the game fine so it maybe some irrelevant error.

[@sahinerdem5496]

for MM_Land Anim you do untick "force root"... solves it.

[@CodeWithRo]

@@sahinerdem5496 THANK YOU! I'll try it out 🥳
