HOW TO MAKE UNRECORD BODYCAM | Unreal Engine 5 | Breakdown |

Recently released trailer showing gameplay of Unrecord, an upcoming single-player FPS from the perspective of his body camera. I managed to deconstruct the camera movement and using various techniques to achieve similar camera behaviour.

In the end I decided to share project file (UE version is 5.1 !) with the camera and post process materials, as creating a video on how to make it will take more than 40 minutes and it's not my typical format for videos. I hope it will be useful for you: drive.google.com/drive/folders/16VS6apEiMa3vmDM82gJPdlHLQivITkCc And if you would like to support me and my channel, please consider using "Thanks" button on my videos! Cheers!

What did you use for the collection parameters as it is giving me an error and I am confused why.

[@postprocessed]

@@AlexReimann-fw2hl parameter collection Has two vectors “offset” and “shake” and values are offset. I used 5.1 so maybe it may not work for 5.0

[@AlexReimann-fw2hl]

@@postprocessed I am using 5.1 do you mind telling me how I could make the two vectors? I am a bit confused as I don't think it migrated properly. Thank you very much for responding though. I subbed and keep up the good work!

Try not migrating, but copy paste folders to your project. Maybe during migration it didn't catch something

[@gamehancer]

the shaders are included I only need shaders I would like my serve for the vignette

[@thequents63]

As an Unreal Engine developer, I can say that although the animations are of excellent quality, what gives the demo the realism effect, it is mainly due to the lights. Specifically, in videos from Bodycam and other similar cameras, the auto exposure option is used, which overexposes highlights and underexposes shadows. This element is essential in the demo, combined with lens distortion and vignette effect. This can be clearly seen in their first prototype, where the animations, sounds and lights were substandard, but the use of the combination of lens distortion, vignette effect, overexposed lights and of underexposing the shadows gave an ultra-realistic result. I tried to reproduce this effect of overexposure / underexposure but impossible for me to achieve a result similar to that of the demo, I don't know how they did it but it's genius.

[@postprocessed]

I tend to believe that they created custom exposure curve, as engine allows to do it. And this custom curve made clipping highlights and not clip shadows, what makes it so believable

[@tomasgiu8194]

​@@postprocessed yes, it can be a possible. I believe that they use the HDRI backdrop of unreal engine, and increase the global illumination to a high level. So that makes the effect of overexposes highlights and underexposes shadows that mention @thequents63

2 minutes into the video and i subscribed right away, really hoping for a tutorial on this and the unrecorded environment!

[@postprocessed]

Yeah I think you saw the environment tutorial too )

[@DouglasdAquino]

Great video! I'm quite sure the developers added some kind of noise in the arms movement (and in the camera), to give it some randomness and feel more reallistic (which was an argument that some developers used to say that it's fake). I argued a few times about this, and for me the secret is like you said: a combination of various techniques: a really good animation with various states for the same action, a variety in actions itself (reload, check ammo, weapon jammed) each one with at least one variation, the camera shake, the erratic movement in arms, the aim acting independently of head movment, the post processing filters (vignette, lens distortion, chromatic aberrations, and much more). All this combined give us this sense of realism, including the fact that the final result is actually flawed on purpouse to resemble a flawed bodycam. This project is going to be a game changer in many aspects (I hope), but still baffles me the amount of people that claims to be developers saying that these results are impossible to achieve.

Some stronger volumetric lights would greatly enhance the look, especially on the flashlight and outside ambient lights shining into the building. Maybe even a bit of subtle fog cards here and there.

[@vast634]

However, fog is very much a cinematic trick, and very rarely appears in reality, unless there is something burning, an engine running or smoke from an explosive.

[@fandross_]

[@digital-guts]

man! great video, now i'm working on post-processing setup to replicate Alberto Mielgos camera effects in Witness and Jibaro, it has some similarities, and another point that sells the illusion is an imitation of cheap camera with low dynamic range, blown out whites, slow auto-exposure and auto focus makes huge difference. also i need to mention that real fisheye camera effect not achievable with just post-processing, there are technique with 5 cameras with render targets projected to sphere from the inside.

[@graithen8955]

Instant sub. Keep it up!

[@hal451]

Great work! I too have been somewhat obsessed with figuring out how a lot of this was done. One thing I found that I believe gives a much more accurate fisheye effect is to use Panini Projection instead of a post process material.

[@postprocessed]

yeah, panini projection also could be used for this, to keep vertical lines straight. But, we can see in trailer objects which are close to edges tend to bend a bit

[@twinsen_rus]

These videos are great and you are awesome! Also, you should not make any exuses across the videos about your experience in different field. What you do here is awesome and really impressive! As for how the animations can me improved, I believe there should be much more shake while running, the character steps should be syncronized with the vignette and the weapons to share simultaneously. The main question from me is: if the weapons are not locked to the center while you move the camera, does it mean that the crosshair or the place where you shoot at is not always at the center of the screen and instead is dynamic and locked to the point where the gun is pointed at? Or is it just a visual thing - and you shoot exactly to the center of the frame? This could be a topic for another video! Keep 'em coming! Cheers!

[@postprocessed]

Thanks for feedback! I think in unrecord the gun shoots where it's pointed, not the center of the screen (except maybe during the aim). In my case it was attached to center of the screen. Also thanks for pointing out that I excuse too much. Got some Canadian vibe there :D

[@hitmankiller123]

[@Tube_Richy_-]

Great Pc Setup!

[@postprocessed]

thanks man!!

[@MrLarsalexander]

Looks like the camera shake also gets feedback from the foot steps. So everytime the players legs are taking a new step the camera is shaking just a bit aswell

[@imdarkest2006]

Hey,can you please make a tutorial on muzzle flash particle effects too

[@dealloc]

I think they used a custom noise (perlin noise or alike) for the overall jitter. Also notice that they mimic "camera jumps" that happen in sync with footsteps, giving it a feel that the camera shakes due to vibrations from the body and clothes its attached to. This could be achieved by using the timings based on the same calculations used to play the sound steps. I.e. a continuous increment of number based on velocity, direction etc.

[@postprocessed]

Yeah I made it shake based on random floats depending on character velocity, but syncing it with footstep is a really good direction, yet too hard for me.

[@JohnDuh]

Hey, thank you for all your contribution! What do you think about some others post-process materials that could be used too (like mp4 compression or film grain)?

[@postprocessed]

Thanks! Well I wanted to learn deeper some post processing materials, but it's really complicated stuff. Like simulation of scan lines, mp4 compression, or MPEG damage that would be cool to do.

[@eddielonestar7962]

Hey there. Well done and thank you for sharing this. I've been looking for a Bodycam kit for my horror game. In the file you included, does it have any hand animations or do we need to combine this with the Lyra kit also? I'm looking to create the view from the game Deppart.

[@postprocessed]

Hey! Thanks! The files I shared only are materials and post process volume, you need to combine it with lyra yourself unfortunately

[@eddielonestar7962]

@postprocessed No worries. Cheers for the reply. So once I combine with Lyra and choose some realistic meshes for arms and weapon, then I may achieve something a little like Deppart or Unrecord etc?

[@BeAmazedGuy]

I am not even on UE or any other software; once I downloaded UE5 and deleted it because I was not familiar. I want to learn from the beginning.

[@highpremier]

Hi, Thank you for the informative video. If I want to add footsteps to this, how should I go about it? Is there a way to ensure that the timing of the camera shake and the footsteps don't go out of sync?

[@postprocessed]

I think it is definitely possible syncing with animation timing. I yet didn't go in depth of it, but I am sure it is possible. For example read animation curves and apply camera rotation offset.

[@YouArenotdreaming-Officiel]

can you send the gun you have with is anim in the end and the animations please

[@postprocessed]

The gun was free model from Sketchfab. Animation is free asset from Unreal Marketplace, “lyra project” it has blendable animations

[@MadpolygonDEV]

Very close. The overcast and lumen sells it the most. Noise and twitter compression and you have your own body cam shooter. I think once npcs are in and people actually play it on their own machine, it will look like a game again lol, considering 80% of hardware will likely not support Lumen in first place

[@FUnzzies1]

Luckily lumen is purely in software and doesn't rely on specialized RT cores. Most people should be able to run some level of Lumen but I would personally use RT on higher end machines as the reflections and lighting are superior.

[@user-ro1bo4sf4g]

Please make a Tutorial about the Level Design

[@postprocessed]

[@nuk3gaming898]

[@postprocessed]

Thanks! You can actually download project file and see how it is done! It is in pinned comment

[@flyingroads3498]

I Will like that the player walks faster. Add a little delay to the arms following the camera looks around. The arms movement when walking animation looks repetitive try to add random between 2 anims.

[@MrLarsalexander]

Perhaps it would look more realistic to have the mouse move the weapon. And then a have the weapon or arms align the gun with the camera for aiming down the iron sights after like 0,6 seconds like it is stabalizing. But if you right click the mouse for "ADS" it would focus quicker to iron sight align, but still rotate the wrist/hand piviot just a bit before aligning again. Without "AIMING" the arms ang gun could move more without the iron sight aligning with the camera view, but as soon as you "Aim" it will try to align better so you can aim with the iron sight (ADS)

[@KimarZuru]

Hi, I have a question for u, maybe it is stupid but i am not familiar with game development but anyways there it is: How long would it take you to create a full version of the game as shown in the trailer?? Btw excellent work on your videos!!

[@postprocessed]

I think it will take me about 2 weeks and up to 2 months for ONE level. As I am not game developer too. Set design, proper player bounds, collision boxes, actors, optimization. And it is only for levels, not taking in cosideration game mechanics, ammo/resoursers balance and etc. This estimate is very subjective as I never worked in game dev industry, only in cinema post production

[@haz226]

⁠@@postprocessedDoesn’t this make you suspicious about unrecord though? Based on all the « Indentity » and such we got back in the days, this one smells imo, and if your saying you can make a level in two month, given that they had a couple of month before they showed the first demo… idk

[@postprocessed]

@@haz226 well I am not aware what would it be in the end. You know for the demo, making couple of locations with a team is not such a big work. We will see how it will look like when it is released.

[@HeartcoreMitRA]

I think my approach is a bit closer to the original - cause when you attach the cam to the head of an actual full-body character it feels more natural than just the camshake effect. The gun motion is quite nice though. I'll probably gonna have to dig through some mocap libs to get the proper animations for variety of guns. For a cheap solution i'd use some stuff like kinect or leapmotion to capture hands anims myself, although it would require some editing and it work for me cause i'm an animator. Using the hands IK would work well for some movement with guns, but the realistic reloads will be quite painful.

Its nice, but springs are really bad imo for both camera and weapon... you cant control it as much as you do when scripted properly...

[@postprocessed]

yeah, I agree. But well as I mentioned I do cinematics, not gameplay. What would you suggest as alternative for that? What can be better than spring? Other material parameter collection? Delay on aim?

[@GR4MPI]

@@postprocessed Ahh, when its just for the looks and for the video purpose its perfect. Idk about UE but in Unity, you can make animation curve, which you can then based on the movement of mouse or player change. That means you can easily restrict how far will the weapon sway, or make it more stiff while aiming. Also nesting more objects with this approach leads to almost no need for animations, you can make different states like aim, sprint... But thats more into the gameplay side :)

[@postprocessed]

@@GR4MPI ah, yea. Either doing animation curves or state machine, yes this is also possible in UE, but I didn't dive deep into it. I mostly do automotive renders, but this particular case with Unrecord just caught my attention and I wanted to replicate the visuals of it. So the same feeling and visuals in real time

[@GR4MPI]

@@postprocessed ahh, ok. Btw in Unity, state machines are not exactly what i meant, i meant fully procedural controller using the curves and scripts, by this approach you can reach even better results than spring (free aim in certain angle only or as you wish)... but anyway you did good job on the visuals :), gave me motivation to look into unreal engine when i have time

[@toastbrot97]

Well, you actually got wrong how the camera system in the game works. Your approach is similar but not exactly the same. The only the thing the player controls in Unrecord is where the gun aims. The camera itself is simply a reactive system that is trying to keep the guns line of sight on screen. I have a video on my channel explaining this in more detail.

[@postprocessed]

Checked out your video, good job! Actually I am using kind of the same approach, but without camera "toggle switch" between gun and camera view, otherwise camera lag is making same feeling of controlling the gun only and camera follows it. So yeah adding the toggle between camera \ gun control will make closer.
