Unreal Engine - Realistic Portal Tutorial (1/4)

[@InsertNameHereGameDev]

Absolutely brilliant job with this. I could see that this doesn't support recursive rendering (portal in portal view, understandable (it's really advanced to code)). Valve was very smart with the first Portal game and that still blows my mind. Looking at other tutorials on KZbin, none is as smooth as this. Once again, such a nice job with this one. Hope people understand that they are going to need C++ knowledge at a point in their project :-).

[@ReidsChannel]

thank you yeah i think ud have to modify engine code to get recursive rendering in the portals lol

[@Schytheron]

@@ReidsChannel You actually don't. I have created a portal system myself back in the day using only blueprints. I then added recursive rendering to this portal system (once again, using only blueprints, no engine source modification) and it worked... kind off. The recursive rendering was fine but the vector math for the recursive cameras was incorrect, so the recursive cameras were showing an incorrect view. I could never figure out what was wrong with the vector math though, so I ultimately scrapped the recursive rendering feature from my portal system. EDIT: Here is a video of my portal system in case you're interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/emGplpWHepuoock

you deserve 30m subscribers this is amazing!

Hi im learning from Im just a kid but i love your channel. Never stop making videos please.

[@dog-xq5jw]

I've always wanted to know how this system works. Great stuff man

[@s4mss4uc3]

Sorry for interrupting on this tutorial. I write here so there is more chance you see this Concerning the Spatial inventory system... I love it! Please, show us how to add things like multiple inventory bags like in DayZ. I am trying hard to bring up a item information widget that will show item stats when the mouse is over it. I tried many ways with many tutorials. Plz add more content about this inventory system. Thanks for the great stuff my man!

[@nebuurtoglshon7048]

Excellent work!

[@Knutschbert1337]

It seems that the C++ changes are not strictly necessary. I have only access to BP, so to get this to work I'm just creating a render target dynamically for each portal with a size based on viewport. This probably has some side effects (e.g. when switching resolutions mid game)

[@BullyDenson4]

Respect! Great content.

[@twiggyCH]

holy shit this is incredible

[@ReidsChannel]

lol thx

[@urmcchromez9426]

Hey Reid, I love your tuturiols, I was wondering if you could please make a Milslim Shooter FPS Tuturiol series ? There’s a tonne of stuff like Reaistic Artillery from games like hell let loose or other milslims, helicopter physics such from games like Squad ect, to even the general shooting or carrying fellow fallen players

[@BridgesProductions2024]

"Hey Reid, can you show me how to make a milsim game, games that usually have hundreds of developers, and take multiple years to make? Big fan!" Get out of here.

[@gamerdweebentertainment1616]

Not sure if you answer, but have you done ability tutorials... haven't noticed anything on your list.

[@bobelvislisa]

Hey sorry to be annoying but I just finished your quest series which was amazing. But i'm trying to get it set up so that when the root objective quest is completed i can do something off of that? Like add another quest to the players quest array or add to an experience variable? I think I need to use event dispatchers but not quite sure where to set them up and listen to for when the root is marked as complete. any suggestions appreciated

[@agoisded]

Good tutorial! But wasn't it easier to just do the opposite for the width and height variables? I mean, reading the width and height of the wall actor, multiplying by 100 and making the workflow a little bit smoother with the ue integrated resize tool?

[@niceperson1155]

Can u plz make tutorial about Doom eternal Dash

[@arshiaa001]

Excellent video! Though I have one question: why not use the hit normal instead of subtracting the trace start and end points?

[@logantherrien6060]

Hey in the video of the 3d title screen my font became all blurry. do you know anything that can help me?

[@LightOfAndromeda]

This is amazing! Would this work in third person?

[@daliborsailovic8100]

Yes, I m interested in that too. Did you got your answer?

[@phils.4076]

Does this also work in VR?

[@kumaru4736]

Before I go through the whole turorial, can somone tell me if this would work for static portals you can place around the map?

[@sharoozasghar4956]

really outdid yourself on this one man. I was wondering, is there a fix for the opposite portal being black sometimes?

[@ReidsChannel]

Thank you :) I don't think there is an easy fix. You'd likely have to edit the engine code since rendering black is the default behavior.

[@junweiliang8280]

Hi, thank you for your tutorial, I followed part 1 and did the same thing, however, my hit line on Portal Wall is red which means my hit doesn't really hit on the wall. I did set the wall mesh as you did in video, do you know what happened or where gose wrong?

[@junweiliang8280]

I forgot to add collision box on wall... stupid me

[@vaporvee]

@@junweiliang8280 wich collison box

[@tomaslaaperi5849]

omg... so good! and free? O_O after this im patreoning

[@mythicalcat6288]

I have question can you make vertical wall run?

[@crunch3171]

Impressive, have you by any chance watched some portal1-2 dev talk? Because I know they talk a bit about how they faked the portal becoming black when you are looking at it from another portal.

[@ReidsChannel]

Nope I didn’t watch any of the dev videos. Why would they need to fake it? Seems like unreal just does it by default

[@Schytheron]

Are you referring to recursive rendering?

[@akzork]

Any updates on Samurai Zero?

[@peppe3533]

Hello I have recently started with unreal engine and I would like to know more or less when did you start and what path did you take? Sorry if there are grammatical errors but I'm Italian

[@ReidsChannel]

Hey! I started learning unreal about 4 years ago just because I thought it was cool and fun to use. Before that I was learning C++ for about 5 years!

[@peppe3533]

@@ReidsChannel thank you very much for the answer, unlike you I start from scratch: /

[@scottbraswell9622]

Are you able to bring cubes or objects through the portal like in portal 2 or does anyone know how to do that?

[@ohtontheknight3879]

Make 2 cubes and set it to exactly the same position relative to both portals

[@fafatogames]

This example works in 4.27.2?

[@akzork]

Greatness

[@chlrkdgus0906]

Hello, I'm a Korean viewer, I'm not good at English, so I almost only look at it with my eyes, but can I understand just by looking at it ?

[@ReidsChannel]

Probably for the most part

"it's a lot like splitgate" LIKE WHAT????

[@Mega-Brick]

Splitgate was cancelled a few days ago lol
