This technique would also work really well with models from Google Earth. Google made it possible a couple years ago to download models from Google Earth and there’s a plug-in for blender that makes the process relatively easy. Photos scanning would still be better for or intricate environments, but it might be helpful if you’re trying to block out a large outdoor scene.

The point of this video, as I've discussed in these comments many times, is targeted for beginners, indie filmmakers and low budget filmmakers who didn't know this technology was viable for their uses - the main general audience of KZbin viewers. As I discuss in the first 30 seconds of the video, I know it is already used in the film industry. The methods of 3d scanning discussed in this video, which is the central focus of the video, didn't even exist "YEARS" ago, so that is simply not true. If you'd watched the entire video before leaving a rude comment, you would see that.

It is unprofessional for an instructor from another CG school to undermine a peer's course. Let us see the exact courses that comprehensively teach the entire previz workflow of creating digital worlds swiftly by utilizing cutting-edge 3D scanning methods and importing Metahuman for detailed shot planning with accurate lighting and camera parameters altogether to streamline varied location shoots, making the powerful capabilities of Unreal Engine accessible to everyone. Please support millions of filmmakers out there with creative freedom transitioning to advanced production tools to boost their visual storytelling like those in blockbusters. Compared to the short-term online face-to-face classes you guys offer, regardless of the huge cost disparity, Sam's course provides exceptional value with its highly organized category structure and step-by-step approach, making it far more effective for our learning experience.

Since pitching a successful story to Hollywood studios is extremely challenging, we want to explore how a compelling movie can be made with the minimal resources that we have. Computer hardware is developing at an exponential pace and will soon outstrip Moore’s Law through advancements in quantum and biotechnology in the near future, making high-end rendering increasingly accessible. Unreal Engine has revolutionized the intersection of game development and filmmaking, and this channel is contributing by educating creators on efficient cinematic workflows and developing plugin functions that are immensely beneficial to the filmmaking community. Filmmakers are a group of passionate people who are willing to invest their own money to bring unique stories to the world. If your goal is to be competitive in the job market with high and steady pay, acquiring critical skills in IT, engineering, and other essential professions is crucial. All I want to say is, do what you love, keep your focus, and live your own way.

When UE5 first came out I thought the best use for it would be Previs and planning of shots which would be shot on Cinema Cameras later. Exactly what you are saying here. If for example you had an expensive actor like Tom Cruise inside an F35 Jet, you could easily plan out all the shots in Unreal with lighting, lens type and animation, and then shoot it with real actors and real planes later. With the unreal shots, the producer would be able to budget out the shots using the Unreal Shots (which are inexpensive) to estimate the shooting costs. Also you could have certain re-usable filming "sets" or key locations like NY, London, Dubai, Tokyo, Mountains, Desert, Ice Snow Mountains etc, and then plan a few shots in a cinema quality virtual production "set" that matches a real world location. Then you could plan the framing of shots and explore cool angles and storytelling in the scene without even being there, and then shoot in the real location later with real cameras. So the final product could be a totally real location, real actors and real vehicles but completely designed and with cinematography designed in Unreal Engine exactly matching the final output.

And to be honest sometimes, at least until unreal 5.2 (or was it 5.3?) I still went the old way.

So from time to time is was simply too complicated to set stuff up in unreal. Well, until the latest animation tools in real I fell in love with. But and that might be the different, I worked mainly in smaller teams for advertising. Time is running differently there. I always asked myself, why previz looked so shitty.
