Thank you very much, you are the first one to record a video on this topic after so much time.

[@OHMSdev]

great vdeo man very professional and straight to the point

[@PeterEngelmann401]

Thank you so much for the update! Exciting news.

[@eyefisher]

Oh yeah!! Thanks Winbush!

[@AetherMindrex]

You are an absolute legend my man.

[@ViRiXDreamcore]

That new material designer just made me download 5.5! That's awesome. Thanks for the info.

[@GlassHandFilms]

awesome video man! so excited for these latest updates!

[@KaliadderExperiments]

Thank you!

[@violentpixelation5486]

Great stuff as always! 👍💯 Big THANKS

[@OnyxLee]

Thank you so much for sharing these mograph related content. Came here for this. Please make more!

[@DenysGlagoliev]

Thank you for this introes to UE for motion designers! UE getting closer to C4D with Motion Design plugins and Tools. I am very inspired with it. Please keep it up 🔥

[@JonathanWinbush]

You're very welcome!

[@quadro_11]

Perfect video, thank you! By the way, there was a problem with Volumetric Fog, there was no godrays from the clouds. I hope they fixed that problem because there was no such problem in 5.3, it was broken with 5.4. I think it was due to the Light Function's inability to correctly calculate the final positions etc. of the godrays.

[@micbab-vg2mu]

Thanks for update:)

[@syno3608]

thanks so much

[@QReviews412]

Thanks so much for this bro! I have to try this when i get home from work! I found a job back doing CG. Good Stuff here fam!

[@estate0007]

That's great news, that we have collision now for the cloner! The recent updates gave me the motivation to learn UE5 motion design properly, so I logged into your 1 hour tutorial. Thanks to you and EPIC for providing such industry-grade information for free! But it looks, that the "Allow through tonemapper" dropdown is not there in 5.5 project settings anymore. And, probably because the material designer had changed so much, the first .spac file does not work correctly. However I will do the tutorial in 5.4 for now, being aware that some of the the material designer basics are outdated already 😁

[@JonathanWinbush]

Yea thats the tricky thing with doing courses with something as new as this because the tools will grow and update but hopefully I can get around to updating that course with how much the material designer has changed

[@danjmaurer]

Thanks for covering the operator stack. There are so many new things that will easily get lost if you don't follow the keynotes.

[@JonathanWinbush]

Yea I made the video before Andy actually did his talk so there's actually a lot more to dive into I didn't realize was there lol. They never put docs out for this stuff.

[@decorix]

BYE BYE AE :-) great new motion stuff :-) thanks for the update 🙂

[@beMOTIONdESIGN]

Good stuff!

[@Tada_Minburee]

QOL confirmed 👍

[@belizegoodovaevilrecords2562]

great tutorial bro. thanks

[@JonathanWinbush]

For sure 🤙🏿

[@vladan.Poison]

get acclimated ASAP !

[@vytasrauckis6703]

You're right, every thing I do in Material Designer starts a new round of compiling over 100 shaders. UUGLY!

[@JonathanWinbush]

yea I'm hoping thats just because its in preview

[@steveelbows3797]

Thanks so much for all the wonderfully helpful videos you make about Unreal Engine, and more recently its Motion Design mode. I hope you dont mind if I give you back just one tiny tip: you dont have to first select Motion Design mode from the dropdown on the left, because when you press the Motion Design button on the right it will automatically also put the user interface into Motion Design mode!

[@JonathanWinbush]

Oh good to know thanks for the tip!! Always open to learning something new 🤙🏿🤙🏿

[@HussinKhan]

I was looking forward to the object morphing abilities. It kinda works but UE crashes as soon as it is key framed. Thanks JW!

[@nmatthes2927]

Nice Video! Can you make a video about skeletal mesh deformers which are new in ue5.5?

[@SurenSargsyan]

Hello, Thank you for the great tutorial! 🤩 I am facing a tiny issue: whenever a mesh possesses a transparent material it is just losing collision effect with cloner particles. What can be the possible cause? Any help would be much appreciated!

[@P24-d9y]

Thank you for the cool video! This is the interesting tool. I tried to work with the cloner and its reflection from the boxes. It's useful. But I don't understand how to make the spheres inside the cloner also bounce off walls with transparent material. It seems like I've tried everything I understand, but the cloner still goes through the transparent boxes. But I want them to bounce "invisible walls". Do you know how to implement this? Please share this knowledge.

[@JBFandom]

Great Tutorial Video Winbush! 👏🏾💯. Um question. Do you think it's a good idea that I can do things on 5.5?. Because I really wanna use megalights so much on my project that I currently have on 5.4 to 5.5 preview. But in 5.4 I had to disabled a few cast shadowing on current couple of pointlights, area lights, and spotlighting too to keep the optimization memory do well. And plus I know 5.5 is only a preview. And might have current bugs and glitches that is having in current few people that who's been using it on the copy projects. But I really don't feel like waiting for so long for the full release 5.5 to be published to next month on November 😩

[@JonathanWinbush]

Yea honestly I'd only use it to mess with but don't count on anything final as it may break upon final release

[@JBFandom]

@@JonathanWinbush yeah. That's true. Okay. I'll keep trying to wait on the full release of 5.5. And just try do other fun things on 5.4 more often. Thanks man. Keep up the dope work and tutorials too. Loving your motion graphic designs as well 💯🔥🙌🏾

[@ValentineWalker-h3r]

Hello Mr Winbush! I apologize for the Paragraph, Ive been looking for help for days now haha. Kris Clemson told me you may have the info I need. I am going into the film industry as a beloved career however game development will always be a hobby and deep passion. I recently downloaded UEFN to accompany UE5 on my computer and had a problem with an asset I downloaded/imported to UEFN. It is an awesome Trex skeletal mesh with animations. It was improperly sized so I moved it to Blender, Shrunk it to about 4% original size, brought it back to UEFN as a "new" mesh. Its PERFECT until I add the animation and/or apply the Mesh Animation preset which, for me, applies multiple walking animations. Doing so reverts the mesh to it's original HUGE size and I am officially stumped. I've tried editing the animations in UEFN but it is not working... :/ Im positive you are incredibly busy but could you maybe point me to the right direction or another video? I know my friends, family, and I would really appreciate it.

[@JonathanWinbush]

Yea I'm not exactly sure. Are you not able to just resize it in UEFN?

[@red4666]

are you able to spawn cloners on the surface of a static mesh and have them inherit the color of the mesh's texture?

[@JonathanWinbush]

I know you can spawn cloners on mesh but not 100% sure about having them link to the color

[@isaacavacado7744]

Did they fix the rendering issues with the audio reactive motion design features ?

[@JonathanWinbush]

I'm not sure

[@fiercecurry]

Is the Motion Design tools real time rendering? As in for live events/live broadcast? I ask because someone from Unreal Engine mentioned it was never meant for that.

[@JonathanWinbush]

They use it in live events they use it with the sports and esports

[@fiercecurry]

@@JonathanWinbush I thought so! Thanks for the clarification! I think they said that in the context of using Motion Design with UMG/Blueprints. Though i think you could use Rive to make your 2D UI then import it into a Motion Design module scene/ environment, and hopefully trigger timelines

[@JonathanWinbush]

@fiercecurry do you know who said it? I know Andy the head of dev doe the motion tools has shown several relative examples of like ESPN using it for broadcast and the fortnite league

[@KingAragorn]

Hello, I copied the sphere mesh 500 times with cloner and I apply curl noise force with effector. Surface collision option is on, but some particles do not hit the surface, they pass through it. Can you help?

[@KingAragorn]

Heyyy please help

[@millie2079]

Guys, I'm just getting back into After Effects as a long term C4D user, I need to add motion graphics to my skillset. Should I ditch AE and go all in on UE???

[@JonathanWinbush]

@millie2079 I'd learn both each has their strength n weaknesses but I'm always a fan of the more you know the more work you can be available for

[@fiercecurry]

Is there a way to integrate Motion Design module with UMG to make interactive UI?

[@JonathanWinbush]

I'm not sure that's outside my wheel house I'm more on the rendering side

[@fiercecurry]

Ok, thanks!

[@vj-baker-88]

Could you confirm that NDI is integrated to UE 5.5 ?

[@JonathanWinbush]

Yea I just watched the keynote and they confirm it there kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6m1fGSNaqyGipo

[@vj-baker-88]

@@JonathanWinbush thanks, your tutorials are great, i'm waiting for next videos. A video about muti cameras / attached cameras / multi viewports / multi NDI stream (in & out) could be great.

[@billB101]

Is there anything else you have to do to get 5.5 preview, I don't see it when I add new engine versions. Currently on 5.4.4?

[@JonathanWinbush]

Only thing I can think of is maybe the Epic Games launcher needs to update but other than that it should be available the same way you downloaded 5.4

[@billB101]

@@JonathanWinbush Yeah weird, I've seen that other people are having the same issue on forums.

[@JonathanWinbush]

@@billB101 Yea I haven't personally run into that one yet and I put it on 3 machines I have here. Is it installed to the C drive? Anytime I put unreal on anything other than C it always gave me issues.

[@billB101]

@@JonathanWinbush No I have an entire different SSD for unreal, it takes up way too much space. Never had any issues with it yet though.

[@billB101]

@@JonathanWinbush I got this, you have to select it in the drop down menu on the version ( gives a whole list of different instal version options ) Knew it had to be something simple :)
