One I tweaked the chromatic abberation, bloom, and blew out the highlights and increased grain, this effect looks pretty damn nice. Also attached a light to the player model to represent the goggle scopes casting a small amount of light on the world. Thanks for a concise and extremely helpful tutorial!

[@wolfiedgr8t]

Excellent Matt, that night vision looks so spooky 👍

[@Hotz-25]

This gives me an idea for my game ! Thanks you

[@EejayB7]

Love your content man! I was wondering if you can make a video on local multiplayer system.

[@JessicaMarinaRushie]

Thanks Matt.

For anybody having problems with this working. It doesn't seem to work in pitch black. The exposure needs SOME kind of light information. It works well with a directional light just barely setting behind the horizon (basically pitch black). But for all intents and purposes, when are you ever going to have a totally pitch black room with zero light anyway? Here's what I did to kind of get around this. Add a post process to your map. Enable "Infinite Extent Unbound". Set Exposure metering mode to "Manual". "Exposure Compensation" to 7. In your Character BP Night Vision Post Process, set "Auto Exposure Histogram". "Exposure Compensation" to 3 (even 3 is too bright) and "Speed Up" and "Speed Down" to 5. The reason I set my level to manual exposure is because auto exposure with auto exposed nigh vision just caused the screen brightness to run away. The screen turned white after a few seconds. So now you have manual exposure on your level and Auto Exposure in your Night Vision! Cool right?

Thank you very much

[@muntasirdawlut]

damn this night is so realistic ✌

[@danchovy1111]

Matt, should I switch over to UE5? Still could be considered a beginner and just was curious your thoughts?

[@DenisZaharenko]

It makes no big difference. Just has some more cool features.

[@danchovy1111]

@@DenisZaharenko thank you for the help!

[@MattAspland]

I’d say to go for it if your PC can run it smoothly, I find it’s better than UE4 due to its extended capabilities

[@danchovy1111]

@@MattAspland thanks Matt!

[@elantrauma]

I'd say stick with 4 until they work out the bugs. I still get LOADS of crashes and missing save files. I'm actually thinking about converting down to 4. I hear it's much more stable. I'm not kidding when I say I've lost weeks worth of work in UE5 due to the engine messing up the save file one way or another.

Could you maybe make a tutorial of switching from first person to third person BUT with like a sword or something. So that it kinda switched gamemodes entirely if that makes sense, kinda like fallout or skyrim.

[@Versed_]

Have a button/event that toggles between a first person camera that you have set up and a third person camera. If you're on the FPS camera, have a bool variable that says FPS mode set to true. When you switch to third person, have the FPS Mode bool set to false. Use that variable as a foundation for different animations, weapons, etc.

[@RedFi6h]

Hahahah, you don't believe me, but I thinking now how to make night vision in game, and you make the video about this lol, thx

[@MattAspland]

Oh that’s awesome haha

[@Saderz_]

Im trying to use this on a camera that is attached to an actor and not a player character. For some reason the PP wont show when looking through that camera, any ideas?

[@SharinganDeeOfficial]

Is there any way u can turn this into a pickup item

[@jasonmorley4334]

Tutorial request ALS V4 Nightvision

[@2ayfon]

I did exactly the same but when i press my key it just flickers the effect but not actually toggles it, what to do?

[@YARIK_sCHAMAN]

Please tell me, have you solved this problem? And if you have decided, what is the special way?

[@ekinarca8689]

It doesn't seem to be working at complete darkness any idea why? I'm on 5.1

2:56 it's your guys fault that he has to say that

[@Trait74]

Doesn't work with a RTS Camera, the exposure keeps messing up

[@AndriiTurchynRieltorDnipro]

I have the effect turns on for half a second and disappears. Where to look for a solution to the problem?

[@elantrauma]

You might have another event triggering with that same keyboard input?
