MetaHumans and Path Tracer in UnrealEngine 5.1

[@Jobutsu]

Any tips how to improve this ? Leave a comment here

[@nourhassoun7099]

Will test if this works out with my XGEN grooms tomorrow. Been having an issue where groom assets I import from XGEN turn out very blurred and almost transparent with path tracing and super excited to see if this solves it! If it doesn't, I'd love some tips to help out =)

[@Jobutsu]

@@nourhassoun7099 It may cure the problem. I have more experimentation to do before I am happy.

[@nourhassoun7099]

@@Jobutsu glad to tell you that the ray tracing radius setting + reference depth of field totally fixed it! Was struggling with this so your tutorial came at the perfect time

[@3Dgiants]

@@VoidWalker-p6q Epic has documentation on that. Just copy and paste to your render settings.

[@3Dgiants]

@@VoidWalker-p6q Oh I see .

[@degibocu]

It's amazing, I don't know where you get so much valuable information from.

[@Metarig]

your tutorials are always the most useful ones. thank you

[@Jobutsu]

And your knowledge blows my mind !

[@arcinfinium]

Thanks for solving some problems I didn’t think were solvable. 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@ValkyrieFighter]

Thanks a lot,Lord Varys

[@noceanstudioGC]

Thats great info chunk! Thx man

[@williamlacrosse9389]

Great vid. Thx for sharing.

[@jimmwagner]

This is great! I am super new to Unreal so one suggestion would be to say why your changing things like lumen to screen space and what the difference is. Admittedly, I am super biased on this feedback :)

[@Jobutsu]

Noted!

[@art.leosilva]

lord varys!! Great video!

[@echobravo1011]

Thank you for this tutorial! Where can I get your preset for MovieRenderQueue?

[@Jobutsu]

It comes with the Movie render Queue plugin. Sometimes, it seems it is not available in the project until, I add a Metahuman and restart. 1. Open Settings/config in Movie render Queue 2. Hit Load/Save preset at the top of the dialog that opens.

[@JamesBeukelman]

Great tutorial sir, thank you! Have you had any luck getting a CC4 character's hair working in the UE5 path tracer? I've spent hours and hours with no success.

[@Jobutsu]

I never tried because I prefer to work with groom hair in Unreal Engine.

Hola,acabo de descubrir tu canal. Quería darte las gracias por facilitar esta alternativa para los personajes metahuman,y el proceso para elementar algo tan preciso y de una calidad audiovisual cinematográfica. Me gustaría saber, si realmente se puede conseguir esa calidad en varios personajes para un videojuego. Me gustaría desarrollar un fotorealista en primera persona,y me gustaría que los personajes en el videojuego tuvieran todos este detalle. Con sus animaciones propias. No hay excusa sobre si es mucho trabajo,puedo dedicarle 14-16 horas al día al proyecto,pero me gustaría entender si es posible llevar a cabo esta idea. Un abrazo,y gracias por tu contenido,espero que hagas algún juego,o corto cinematográfico,estaré para apoyarlo!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@divina.glitch]

Thanks bro!

[@raplevision86417]

respect

[@TheWordandI]

Great tutorial!! Can u use the Metahuman lightning in a cinematic render. While character is in motion? Can I parent or group the lighting to them? My metas never looks ultra realistic in my renders. Thanks in advance! Keep up the good work mate

[@Jobutsu]

Yes you can parent lighting to a Metahuman. You can put the lights in the Metahumans blueprint as well. You can also animate/move your lights in sequencer, if required.

[@JoshuaLundquist]

Did he just blink at 1:35 ? Haven't brought a metahuman into 5.1 yet, is this maybe a new thing?

[@Jobutsu]

My metahumans have my own plugin enabled on them. It is not available publicly yet. Here is a way to do it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2itaWeKfM5-rtU

[@JoshuaLundquist]

@@Jobutsu Actually just watching this, thanks love yr work

[@blockschmidt]

Why choose optix over openimage denoise:)?

[@zenparvez]

Hey Jo great tutorial, also want to ask if theres any plans for a video regarding daz3d clothing to metahuman ? Have a huge collection of G3 and G8 clothing and armours and really wanted to use on metahuman. Thanks in advance and appreciate your hard works.

[@Jobutsu]

I have been running experiments but it is not easy to teach.

[@zenparvez]

@@Jobutsu The only way i was able to load in through character creator and iclone but its not a 100% okay since the polygons mostly gets cracked up and needed to fix it and a lot of painful failures.

[@apefinance]

Hii, with the same MHL Project and Path tracing, my problem is that with the backgorund sphere enabled, the other lights do not change anything on the Metahuman. I used the Raytracing Portrait Lightning. What could I change to resolve this?

[@birdonfiremedia]

Awesome, thank you! Do you have to disable virtual texture maps, or is there a workaround? Without the VTMs enabled, I don't know of a way to use a UDIM workflow with UE.

[@Jobutsu]

That is only my personal choice because, I do not need to work with Virtual Textures.

[@nicholass3430]

Hi Jobutsu, i found that enabling PT with Strata materials caused the eye occlusion to become black again (despite this fix). Any idea how to solve it? Thanks

[@Jobutsu]

I am ashamed to say that, I am behind the curve with Strata.

[@HarmansSingh-q9i]

1000 spatial samples, 4k video? What beast are you running this on?

[@Jobutsu]

It does not matter because it is a single frame/portrait.

[@eliteartisan6733]

Mr Jobutsu. I wonder if you could help me. Whenever i render metahumans there is a blurry line around the body. How could i fix that?

[@Jobutsu]

Try playing with Anti Aliasing and camera blade count

[@ricr8987]

Hello! Do you know why when I use path tracing my view port keeping refreshing?

[@Jobutsu]

I do know.

[@bishalhaldar7435]

Hey Jobutsu can i know the settings or parameters of Still ultra preset please.

[@Jobutsu]

I think the preset should exist when you enable the Movie Render Queue plugin ?

[@DemonicHitZgaming]

Sir can you tell me why my rendered metahuman image looks like Cartoonist type... It looks blurred and the colors are like cartoon type Help out I tried every setting but the results are the same

[@Jobutsu]

I do not know the answer.

[@NoorFilms786]

hi, very nice video, was just wondering how long did that render take?

[@Jobutsu]

I forgot to time it because, I did experience a crash. On an rtx4080, 2 frames,1000 samples at 4K, were somewhere around 10 minutes.

[@danielefrontini6204]

HI Jobutsu, thank you ! With many metahumans I cannot use path tracing - it seems not to converge - disabling “Enable Simulation” in the groom asset solves the issue (but we loose the simulations…) - Have you any experience of it? Thanks!

[@Jobutsu]

I do not have the hardware to do a lot of Metahuman pathtracing experiments, so no I have not experienced that at the moment.

[@danielefrontini6204]

@@Jobutsu Thanks for the reply! Anyway it is working by rendering with movierenderqueue, so no big deal...

[@Snahbah]

Using 5.4 disabling Texture Streaming really messes things up.

[@Jobutsu]

Agreed

[@jonos138]

Is path tracing still available in 5.3? I couldn't find a way to activate it.

[@Jobutsu]

Enable hardware raytracing and pathtracing in the project.

[@MT-ny7ir]

You need to have a rtx gpu to activate pathtracing?

[@Jobutsu]

No, it is for the optix denoiser.

[@MT-ny7ir]

@@Jobutsu ok thx Jobutsu, Also have u tried skeletal modeling tools displacement on a metahuman ?

[@Jobutsu]

The editor repeatably crashed with the new Skeletal Mesh tools, so i am waiting until it is more stable.

[@cro0w]

Where's the final results?

[@Jobutsu]

In the thumb

[@poochyboi]

how do you get groom hair to show in path tracing?

[@Jobutsu]

By watching this tutorial 😁

[@poochyboi]

@@Jobutsu touché.

[@Amelia_PC]

Does it work with my humble RTX 3050?

[@Jobutsu]

I have no idea, try it.

[@Amelia_PC]

@@Jobutsu So, I'll stick with UE4 for a trailer. I'm under a deadline and can't waste time right now. But I'll try it later for sure. Thanks!

[@GameDevAraz]

I'd rather have better physics and a working engine then this crap

[@Jobutsu]

I would rather have a gold toilet and Ferrari.
