Trying to keep my promises and responding for your requests! Hope you guys like it and and don't forget to subscribe!

[@P4TTT]

Great as always, please show us your workflow for car with working suspension or physics. There are multiple ways for this I quess but I wonder how you make it work with sequencer ;)

[@stratchevelle]

Awesome work! A quick tip for anyone using the Path Tracer a lot, set a keybind to activate 'Path Tracing View Mode' to Alt+1, so you can toggle between it along with all your other lighting modes.

[@postprocessed]

Great tip!

[@apixel.content]

This has been a great series, love the explanation of the light channel, looking forward for the next one.

[@tomharding2388]

I’ve come across your channel at just the right time, Keep the great videos coming!

[@postprocessed]

Glad to hear that! Thank you!

[@RRGB107]

Nice video, right in time. And about alfa video: after all this time, i painted the landscape and set the foliage on forest location! All that's left is to build the bridge and the tunnel and then I can (FINALLY) start filming. But i will need to fix some dark areas in PT rendering, so your tip about light channel will be very helpful!

[@postprocessed]

Niiiiice! Keep me posted on updates) cant wait to see this!

[@madeinydp7176]

Wow, thanks!

[@LuzanovAndrew]

Thank you, man!

[@Littleinspiration-y5w]

Thank you very much for your lessons, especially from those who collect information bit by bit all over youtube about such a program as Unreal Engine, it is very valuable to us. I wish prosperity to your channel and many subscribers🤩

[@postprocessed]

thank you so much for such kind words! Wish you all the same and patience in learning Unreal Engine )

[@NuViewDesign]

Love your videos! Great tips and tricks! 👍

[@copperband43]

Your videos are always great. I'm working inside the car But it's so hard. If you upload a car interior lighting video, I would be very grateful. Have a great day today

excellent tutorial! thank you so much!🙏❤

[@jakubjodlowski8416]

Love it Bro! Appreciate the tutorial 🤟

[@DigitalOrigin360]

Great video my man! quick question though, did you end up rendering the video in Path Tracer or raytraced Lumen?

[@postprocessed]

Its combination most of the time, some shots are lumen some are pt. But 80% is pt

[@DarkBarBarian]

great video😃

[@RandMpinkFilms]

Yeah! This is excellent. So very much appreciated!

[@postprocessed]

You are welcome!

[@EricTareDenedoteentalk]

You are doing great!!! Thanks for all the efforts

[@rain-2779]

bro, this is awesome. thx!

[@WackFPV]

THANK YOU, soooo basically gotta treat it like a real photoshoot in a commercial, got it!

[@postprocessed]

YES! Exactly!! If you have experience as DOP or Photographer that would be easier for you!

[@WackFPV]

@@postprocessed ya, gives me flashbacks of product photography. One thing I still struggle with today is managing reflections...

[@postprocessed]

@@WackFPV totally understand your pain... haha. especially when I am doing some product CGI, (we have project with LOreal now) and when client asks to "highlight this curve on the bottle" you spend so much time to make it right, using rim lights, planes and trying to find camera angle to have a desired reflection

[@WackFPV]

@@postprocessed rofl so ya, you understand the struggle!

[@guilhermeb1541]

I have been following your channel for some time, and I want to thank you for the lessons and tips you have been giving us, I am trying to make a scene, I followed this same rendering configuration, but the reflections are flickering in the metallic part of the car mainly, would you have something that could adjust this? Thank you very much, your work is inspiring sorry for my bad english 😅

[@postprocessed]

Thanks! Flickering usually is caused by bloom or lens flare, or too high exposure. It’s very random and each case is unique for troubleshooting

[@antronero5970]

Better thank that reference picture. Good job

[@slaughterhouseproduction]

hope one day u do a livestream with your full workflow, that would be dope :)

[@postprocessed]

Maybe one day! 😁

Потрясно выглядит, спасибо за годную инфу!!!!👍👋🤙🔥

[@RougeNinja007]

Can you give a quick tip for turn on the car headlights in vedio scene..

[@postprocessed]

Well that tip is: add model to sequencer, select car light materials, change intensity via sequencer

[@frostyk2005]

Can u do a detailed video, really appreciate it.

[@postprocessed]

You mean on lighting? or how this scene was build?

[@natishmaac]

Awesome Bro

[@rahulamruth]

this is so good tutorial very helpful thank you. can you please give a tutorial on how to create realistic car materials, it will be so helpful.

[@postprocessed]

Hey, I use automotive material pack. Its free on Unreal Engine Marketplace, and it has veeeery good materials!

[@MercyWHO]

When are you planning to make the Color correction breakdown you did. Amazing work btw 🤜🤛

[@postprocessed]

Thanks! Around next week, already preparing content!

[@MercyWHO]

​@@postprocessed letss goooo, like do show how u did the part of the city sunset thing , it was sick !!. and the image of how it looked in the unreal engine before the cc

[@postprocessed]

@@MercyWHO yeah I think I can!

[@LazySlothProductionsLLC]

This is a great breakdown of your lighting setup! One problem I'm running into is when I change the Translucency Type to Ray Tracing, my windows/glass materials turn black. My day light lights are no longer visible and I can't see inside the car. The reflections feel like they're going over a black solid. Any fixes to that? I have the correct settings on I believe.

[@postprocessed]

@@LazySlothProductionsLLC it is the issue of 5.4, they broke translucency ray tracing in this version… work around can be: in project settings enable “use hardware ray tracing when available” and use “lumen high quality translucency reflections” Alternative: Select glass material instance and scroll down to shading model override and choose “default lit” instead of “thin translucent”

[@LazySlothProductionsLLC]

@@postprocessed THAT WORKED!! Thank you for the quick reply. And one last issue I just ran into is that when I duplicate the rect light, I get this ghosting/flickering effect where it looks like there's multiple scenes, but ONLY in "Lit" mode. Path Tracing looks good. Is there a fix for that? I've tried the command variable, "r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.ScreenTraces 0" which takes away some artifacts but not all of them. I'd love to export this in both Lumen and Path Tracing if possible.

[@losimple]

Magical !!!

[@slaughterhouseproduction]

Awesome video.. i have a question tho: i enabled raytracing at the start of my project along with the starter content.. after sometime some weird black spots/shadows appeared on my walls.. any idea how to fix?

[@umerali9315]

Hello! Hope You are doing well. Amazing Video I am Beginner. And i want learn Unreal Engine can you guide me. thank you

[@motionislive5621]

Tell please what's the auto track name, love it 😊

[@postprocessed]

at what timecode?

[@federicojanni]

How can you make the emissive back lights of the car not flickering ( in the reflections basically )?

[@bhuru420]

awesome yaar

[@EvanMapleMaggot]

Didnt knew about light channels working light exclusion, now i can forget about planes as light blockers, feel stupid -__- i thought its just for making different light scenarios like Day/Night. Thanks!

[@The9PointStar]

Thanks! From where can i get a great car model like that por practice?

[@postprocessed]

[@Fishdonut]

Very cool content!! I would like to create a progressive LED light strip band animation on Unreal Engine, do you know how to make it?

[@postprocessed]

Oh, that is done with masking in material parameter. I did something similar for audi blinker light. But you can easily find right now it on youtube

[@Fishdonut]

@@postprocessed Could you please maybe recommend one?

[@postprocessed]

@@Fishdonut look for "ramp" or "Gradient" material, this should be it. So by using gradient you define what is emissive

[@Fishdonut]

@@postprocessed Awesome thanks a lot!

please tell me the song name ? the song plays first of video

[@romulocastilho6506]

I love car animation, I use Blender, but rendering takes too long. I wanted to learn car animation in Unreal Engine, but I couldn't find a quality course.

[@michalprzedlacki8382]

Hello. Thank you for all your hard work! I have a question for you. Is it possible to earn money on Unreal Engine or it is just hobby?

[@postprocessed]

Sorry got answered for wrong comment previously. About your question: yes. It is possible. You need to have some experience with cgi and cinematography. I am working as unreal lead artist in post production company and have a full time job. A lot of car companies for example right now switching to unreal as it gives fast result which can be presented. I did several car commercials in production I work for and personally. So yes, it can definitely become a job in cinema and ad industry. Also Barbie movie was filmed with UE virtual production

[@copperband43]

great!!!

[@antronero5970]

How would you build a 360 lighting in case you have to view the car from walking perspective in all angles? Thanks

[@postprocessed]

I would create a level which is okay to look from all angles, and probably will lit it with HDRI or sun-sky system

[@diaragha]

Broooo 👌👌👌👌

Great

Thank you

[@azfilmmaking6734]

I wonder if you have a black or yellow patches bug with path tracer with lens flares active?

[@postprocessed]

yes I do. I hate lens flares which unreal produces so I always disable them and add em in Nuke or Fusion

[@azfilmmaking6734]

@@postprocessed what about blooming?

[@postprocessed]

@@azfilmmaking6734I use convolution bloom, usually settting it down to 0.475

Thank you! Seems like I more or less managed to do a good looking render. But I have this weird random black holes looking like film dust. Have you ever had something like this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6StYqmYj69krNE

[@aleksandrrush4076]

Wow!! About light channels was very useful information... But how to find job with that "knowledge"?? That's my passion to create this kind of images, vieos, etc., but I don't know who need this tye of work and where to find it???

[@postprocessed]

I do this kind of render and post them on Linked in and on Facebook groups of the same topic. Like "Unreal Engine Automotive". I mostly get contacted from Linked in and Facebook groups, which actually bring me clients and job offers. So - create great renders in the market which has the demand and go public with on every platfom possible.

[@aleksandrrush4076]

@@postprocessed Yeah... You are completely right!!! But right now it's hard to do like that because I am like refugee. Especially with my GTX1050TI Laptop it's hard to handle this kind of renders. But, you know, Lumens, Nanite works like fine tohgether on my Laptop. That's abou models which weights like 500mb and etc. Anyways... The mine biggest issue is that I can't to settle down right know and to work above something.

[@postprocessed]

@@aleksandrrush4076 You don't need 500mb models actually, you can start with something low poly, like 150mb, or 80. Just work more with light and atmosphere. Lighting is a key

[@homedog91]

@postprocessed What is the intro song?!

[@postprocessed]

it's "Oliver Michael - That Sound - Instrumental Version" - on artlist.io. Maybe this artist also is on Spotify, didn't check.

[@motionislive5621]

Noting about camera Animation

[@postprocessed]

No worries, I will be doing separate video for camera tips and tricks on the movement

[@Mrmotion3d]

What is the name of your starting music

[@postprocessed]

hey man sorry, I can't find this project file in DaVinci, don't remember what it is. But definitely it was from artlist.io

[@DannyNetwirk]

How come your lit mode looks very close to pathtracing mode?

[@postprocessed]

Really depends on the environment and light setup. You can push lumen even harder, but that requires a lot of experience

[@DannyNetwirk]

@@postprocessed yeah, your lumen scene looks really nice. i dont know for some reason, when i have the car setup in the scene with lumen, it doesnt look as good as yours does, but when i turn path tracer on, the quality is top notch

[@postprocessed]

@@DannyNetwirk yeah, probably I should do lumen tutorials too 😁

[@DannyNetwirk]

@@postprocessed that would be great!

Check sketchfab and cgtrader. You can filter by “free” models. Some of them can be really good

[@DesignsbyElement]

When I enable Translucency - ray trace, my entire scene goes dark. Am I missing something?

[@postprocessed]

hm. strange. Do you have RTX GPU? Did you enable "Support Hardware Ray Tracing" in Project Settings?

"scene looks good in lumen", doesn't change lights to moveable. *sighs*
