I'm tired of these Unreal Engine tutorials that feature AMAZING art, but don't show you how it's actually done. I know you're hungry for these tutorials, because I'm hungry for them, so today on the livestream i'm showing you how I created the thumbnail image from scratch entirely in Unreal Engine 5, without paid plugins, LIVE in one sitting.

[@irlWIKKO]

thank you for taking the time to fiddle around with the settings and show how to setup this scene. Saves me a bunch of time to just know where to set up what.

[@DeaconStJohn-gg6jq]

Dude, you are amazing. Please keep up with these amazing tutorial. You have helped me a lot so thank you.

[@mattbecker3634]

Went a long time watching all your videos unsubscribed. Don’t know what I was thinking. This video made me subscribe!

[@pwnisher]

Hey man that's great to hear! What was it about this one that made you resub?

[@mattbecker3634]

@@pwnisher not a resub, but a first time sub. And the idea that I can sit down and basically in one sitting create something was exactly what I’m looking for in tutorial content. Clear explanations always, saw the link to the blender one you did also, watching that later for sure. You also approach things like a normal person and not a know it all. Very refreshing. Plus the community aspect makes me want to try and make something to submit for the next competition.

[@thefloydian1876]

haha Thank you very much 2:24:05 I asked you a question and you gave me a brilliant answer I was running into not only that but many other problems as well but all fixed with one stream of yours with Steve Biegun, watched the whole 5 hours long stream and totally worth every single seconds,Thanks a lot man please keep streaming or posting new video, Love you

[@copilotco]

This was awesome to watch! Great environment

[@the14yearold3dartist8]

this video inspired me to learn unreal!!! thanks clint!!

[@MRayGames]

Love this tutorial, great to see a piece well explained from start to finish! im about half way through the video at the moment and just wanted to share a tip incase it doesn't come up later: if you are in the viewport without piloting a camera and then select the cinecamera actor in the outliner, you will have the camera view pop up in the corner of the viewport. in that pop up you can then click the pushpin icon on the corner of it to lock that popup in place. its great for working on asset placement etc. freeing you up to move around the scene and do more asset placement while always seeing the final shot

[@tobiaseekart]

I didn't know this, thanks!

[@babakjamcg]

thank you clint for sharing and keeps us pushing

[@Arkitekrion707]

This is amazing! I've been using 3dmax and 3d Shade for a long time ago, but I stop! Tired of switching modes. And this UE5 is incredible. Life is much easier using this. Thanks for this tutorial.

[@UnderwaterAnxiety]

You have inspired me to get into unreal real. Seriously well done.

[@flynneart1111]

You are the best tutor I've seen. And I've been at it a year with teachers

[@pakistantareekeinsaaf9825]

Fantastic tutorial, keep up the great videos!

[@chingusbringus589]

i love you clint been wanting to make the switch from c4d for a while. I cant watch any other tutorials but yours.

[@davidnemeth6383]

Your previous videos were the ones that made me choose this industry and this one just as always is extremely helpful. One of the ways to switch to the cine camera actor viewport is to click the camera icon in the sequencer. This took me 2 days to figure out-a quality scene, especially loving the water in both renders, looking forward to more.

[@johngrayson1441]

Help! Loved your tutorial Clint, however I ran into a problem where the foliage was super bright? It did not match the way it looked when you put it in. It looked white or over exposed when I put it in the scene. I checked the material but I can't find the fix. What would you reccomend?

[@kingkishok]

One Sitting Realy ??? Man that was so appreciable!!

[@martinusrimo9107]

that was nice tutorial Bruh ! Bless you keep it up ! 💥💥

[@vuralvur7951]

what a hearty video for all beginners!

[@reddjinn911]

Great video!! If anyone following along cant figure out why WaterBodyLake and WaterZone1 are greyed out, its because you havent toggled back to Select Mode. Those arent adjustable when you are still in Landscape Mode :)

[@peterallely5417]

I’ve used the volumetric clouds to create an overcast scene the el naturale way, if you check cast cloud shadows and tweak the cloud material to cover the sky it sorta just does what it says on the tin.

I clicked randomly from YT's main page, had no idea who made the video, and saw Clint, went "OMG!". Good times.

[@vanityaffection]

Great content! Wish I had unreal engine and C4D when I was younger. I’m a bit too old to learn but love what you are doing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@julandog5]

It's never too late to teach an old dog new tricks. If you ever find yourself with some free time, learn little by little. You can do it!

[@Leukick]

Never too old to learn new stuff. STOPPING the pursuit of learning is what ages you mentally. So go ahead and learn ;)

[@Fzhazq]

I thought it was hard tho... But after seeing this vid about 49 minutes... I think i can catch it up right now thanks !

[@arnoldsoko]

Just subscribed. I'm here before a Million 😂 Awesome content 🔥

[@andrewshandle]

This may seem like a silly question, but are Landscapes way more efficient than just using static meshes? I get that they will likely make development much faster (especially for massive scenes), but is there a _technical_ reason for using one over the other?

[@guyjcollins]

Clint: Metatrox gets an honorable mention Me: shit I'm definitely not getting one XD

[@alih611]

Clint, you’re a real one!

[@RichBelgieJr]

Great content, learning a lot! One minor thing, can you add a high pass filter to your mic? Especially with headphones, that can be very distracting. Something set to around 100hz. Can't wait to watch more videos!

[@rogeriobilches2520]

If possible show us what you used in the console variables, so we can test the values

Good shit bro keep it up

[@Silpheedx]

My favorite words. Let's start from scratch let get into it

[@whovisionsCGI]

I've asked this elsewhere but have yet to find an answer. My height Fog never works correctly. When I add it its there, but as soon as I tweak anything like density it vanishes untill I move forward or back in the scene. So any adjustment just vanishes the fog untill I move. Its as if its not updating or recapturing the scene. Any ideas anyone? I'm new to UE5.1 BTW.

[@user-jz7bo5mk3j]

That`s Cool!

[@colinfoo5908]

with love from Singapore...

[@tamirisdesouza5665]

Did you get fruity or producer edition? Im looking to buy soft soft but i dont know if Producer edition is worth it...

[@SHINeeShufflers]

Kind of niche but how would you put the Halo ring that you might see in Halo concept art into a 3D environment like this. How it's basically looming as a constant reminder that you're on a ring in the background. Hope this makes sense, and maybe you could try something like that during a stream. Love your tutorials

[@TheAleksanderNess]

Hi! Any thoughts on what the best Tutorial / Course a beginner to UnrealEngine is?

[@sarfaraazshaikh]

[@DrDonBoo815]

I see you wear an artist glove so my question is, are you using a tablet to work in UE? If so, what kind?

[@WiDOC]

You could have done your camera shake directly in UE honestly it works absolutely fine

[@elvismorellidigitalvisuala6211]

hey clint nice video, thx 4 the usefuld knowledge. ine question, i couldn't get the same look for the 3d plants assets from bridge... they look wash... if like the GI of the scene didnt do anything... :/

Hi, quick question. I noticed when I was downloading the nanite mega scans that my c drive was filling up very fast and I didn’t have much space, so I changed the download path to my larger SSD drive but after doing so I have lost the nanite download option, the best I can get is medium quality. Anyone know why, and anyone know how to fix? Also great video as always!

[@michaelb1099]

Not sure if you can steer me in the right direction. Im getting so confused in enviroment creation, Example when to use landscape and when not to. Do you build everything on the floor im getting so confused maybe i should do a course. My main focus is to make film not games, any suggestions or help maybe you have courses that would fit me??

[@mine_raidz1514]

Not sure if its stupid to say but when your grass wasnt loading in the content browser all u have to do is select all of the assets u want to load and then right click on 1 of them. It will then force load all the images

When dragging my water onto the landscape it shows up blue and "sea of thievesy". Instead of translucent and realistic. Been stuck here for an hour. Any advice?

[@pwnisher]

Yeah the water required the most tweaking. Try adjusting the water material instance, and switching over to raytraced reflections in your post process volume makes the water a lot less “sea of thievesy”
