Explore Collaboration with Unreal Engine’s Multi-User Editor | Webinar

In this webinar, Senior Technical Marketing Manager Daryl Obert and Technical Artist Matthew Doyle demonstrate a unique collaboration workflow in Unreal Engine.
The Multi-User Editor is a powerful tool that enables multiple artists to make changes simultaneously to the same Unreal Engine project safely and reliably. Updates happen on the fly for everyone in the group, with no wait.
Check out the other collaboration workflow demonstrated during the 'Working collaboratively in Unreal Engine webinar'. It explores how to use the Collab Viewer Template to create a runtime experience of design data to conduct collaborative design review sessions. Watch now: • Working Collaborativel...

Many thanks for this webinar!! Tried it today on the local network and it worked great -- had initial connection hiccups but changing the Multi-Cast Endpoint from 230.0.0.1:6666 to 234.0.0.1:6666 fixed it. Cheers

00:10 🖥 The Multi-User Editor in Unreal enables real-time collaboration where multiple users can work together on the same project simultaneously. 01:35 🌐 Multi-User Editing supports collaboration across platforms, such as Windows, VR, Mac OS, and iPad, enhancing flexibility. 03:02 🚀 To use Multi-User Editing effectively, all participants must run the same Engine version, be on the same LAN or VPN, and start from the same project state. 07:09 🌐 Collaboration involves creating a server, joining sessions, and persisting changes. Users can work on the same assets, manage locks, and save changes to the server. 15:31 🎨 Collaborators can make simultaneous changes, with certain adjustments automatically visible, while others need to be saved and persisted for synchronization. 18:25 🌱 Multi-user collaboration in Unreal Engine allows real-time editing and painting of assets. 19:24 🎥 Collaborators can work simultaneously, creating cinematics and animations. 22:29 🕶 Virtual Scouting tools enable real-time virtual production, scene blocking, lighting, notes, and measurements. 24:03 🔌 Setup for Virtual Scouting involves enabling plugins, adjusting settings, and using VR tools. 26:15 ✍ VR Scouting tools offer features like measuring, marking, lighting, and interactable objects for collaborative scene design.

[@micah6635]

Took me two hours to figure out the first 9 minutes!!

[@tomoprime217]

Is there a VR plugin for UE4 to work in the editor for creating landscapes? Wish I could fly about a scene sculpting with VR brushes and lining up the placement of 3D assets.

[@DanielShawyer]

For those trying to work in a non-lan situation. ZeroTier works perfectly and is free. You just set the IP and endpoints as the ZeroTier ones once the Zerotier network is set up.

[@DanielShawyer]

Probably once I have a bit of spare time

[@TrojanLube69]

Hamachi as well, as has even better connection speed (up to 5 connections free)

[@TrojanLube69]

Up to 5 devices in a network free I mean.

[@DragonFlairr]

I have been trying to figure this out for hours but its all so confusing. I set up a server with zero tier and got my friend to join it and we then put in the Zero tier IP addresses following the video above but it just doesn't work and I really don't know what I'm doing wrong.

[@vexan_twitch]

Could the modifications be redone? is the system safe? (users might make mistakes, steal, corrupt, etc) and also can the host manage the users and modifications?

[@thundermax8229]

Very nice its possible to use multiple virtual scouting? thanks in advance,.

[@Seanvandeusen]

We have our project on a shared server. Do all open the same project and do what's stated in the video? Or will they be linked to my project regardless

[@whamblamo]

I’m a little confused if those connecting to the host server also need the assets linked to the UE4 project locally on their machine or if the host has everything and other users can simply connect to the hosts machine?

[@DocZomBx]

I am wondering the same thing, any news or new info you found?

[@micah_dev]

Client machines do need the assets locally. Clients connecting to the host server must have their project files (including all assets) in the exact same state as those that existed on the host when the host started the session. All modifications that happen after that will be replicated across all clients. To make it easy, it's probably worth just doing the following: 1. Make sure you ALL have IDENTICAL projects on your local machines. 2. Host starts the server and session 3. Clients join the server and session 4. Begin editing/making modifications. Hope that helped

Just making sure, if I started the server with my co-worker and we've got it working, is it now okay for me to work on the project even if he's offline? Or will he have to match the project files with mine again in order for it work for the second time?

Heya guys, Could you go through which VPN you use and how you have connected that quickly for me? I've been attempting to get this working for a few days now with my team at Backstage Academy.

[@LonlyGamerX]

hello I dont know what vpn they used (they may have been on lan) but ive found a vpn that sort of works. I can tell you how i got it to work and help you - App is called hamachi. Free and costs verison: A few things to note, if you get it for free only up to 5 people including you can work on a project, then the costs ones which arent too expensive like standard offers up to 32 people for 50$ per year, next u can also buy one that costs 200$ for up to 256 works at once and then one for 300$ you can have unlimited people on it. I use the free version with 2 of my friends and it has help us a lot. If u want to download it, here is the website - www.vpn.net/. If you need help setting it up, i dont mind helping the best i can. Discord - LonlyGamerX™#1502

[@darylobert]

We used the VPN that Epic is set up on company-wide, with offices all over the IT guys have it sorted, so it just worked for us. When on my LAN it works great too and the computers just see each other with Multi-Cast. A lot of VPN solutions, so if you have it set up and working correctly Unreal will just use it.

[@jonathanstevens619]

@@darylobert That's really helpful advice thank you. After watching this and getting VPN's working on our end we have the multi-user editing working. However we are experiencing a few bugs with servers. Would you have an email for multi-user editing beta, I can use to report theses? I also made this quick tutorial (mainly for my uni colleagues) if anyone want's to know how I got my VPN setup: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y17Hqoemg8-KkM0

My friend cannot connect to the session that I have hosted. We are on seperate networks. No matter what we try, neither of our sessions show up. What can we do?

[@jakelofgren2510]

I have a question.... Can you get a multi user session working on a project that is on a shared network drive? as opposed to using source control?

[@Rayn2k11]

?

[@TrojanLube69]

Ideally you want one file in each client locally, and the server machine to have access to write(save) and load from the network drive. Otherwise every time you save all clients and server will be overwriting the file, which is pointless.

I have 16 GB, having asked this question in the discord chat with foreign colleagues, I found out that to use this plug-in you need at least 64 GB of RAM. As a result, they gave up the idea of ​​using the plugin and decided to upload the project to the cloud with the possibility of two-way editing of project files. that's how we work, and in my opinion it's even better. the guys and I can work on the project at any time of the day or night.
