Hey guys, also I was planning on making another video on Light Study of Laboratory scene and how to setup Light channels in Unreal Engine, so I will be dropping it probably also this week. Or if you are interested in something particular let me know too!

[@RRGB107]

Sup, i don't work with lightning channels before, so any information will be helpful!

[@postprocessed]

@@RRGB107 ok great! So probably lightning tut would be very useful! Gonna prepare that tomorrow. It's gonna be nice cozy video for about 20 minutes)

[@EvanMapleMaggot]

Huge respect for your job and all the time u spend on your projects. Happy you having feedback from original authors too. Thats inspiring! About lights... Im interested in volumetrics and how to use it like in Blender to make scene more cinematic. Is it possible to make cubes with volume? And how often people should use it. And how to make bright emissive materials without loosing saturation (colorful neon signs for example).

Awesome video as always. Can I ask how do u achieve the little jitter/shake on the car or is it on the camera. Are u using a noise in one of the transform keyframes. It adds a lot

[@postprocessed]

Hey man, thanks! About camera stuff I will be doing video on camera work in UE, showing some of my techniques and I will include this one too. I am doing it using camera shake blueprint, but anyway it needs more detailed explanation which probably will not fit into comment section

[@tmaintv]

@@postprocessed thanks all good and I thought as much. But just wonder if it was all on the camera and any body wobble on the car. Look forward to the next mate

[@TechGoop]

Fantastic! Great tutorial. I am having trouble getting my paint samples to show up in UE from the Automotive Material pack on the marketplace. I stick with UE 5.1 for now, have to migrate the pack over from an earlier version to get it to work with 5.1. But the color selections dont show in the browser correctly. Looka like I have to wait for the team to get the pack updated for v5 and moving forward.

[@postprocessed]

I think it was already updated to 5.1 and can be used! Also they are preparing it for 5.2 with substrate

[@liangmarcus284]

我最近也在做赛车相关的视频 也是利用UE和Blender制作 然后看了你的操作后然后去 用 摄像机轨道的概念去做视频 前期花了很多时间 在资产和材质部分的准备 所有的流程都很顺利 但是就在后面我遇到了问题 别人提供的赛道不是平整的 路面是高低起伏和有一定的倾斜 这里涉及到了路面 路基 树木 等问题 导致最后车辆在渲染出来后才发现轮子经常悬空的情况 这导致我需要大量的时间去调整导轨 我后面很后悔 没有利用蓝图去实现赛车的问题 这能很好的解决地面凹凸的问题 最后 我想说 整个CG流程一个人制作的话 真的很多方面是无法考虑和顾及的 一个团队真的很重要 能在重要的部分能实现更多的可能 一个人可以很强但是一群人可以走得更远 .🙂

I have edited car texture - emissive map and made it a straight line in photoshop

[@user-nv9jm9wx7d]

Hi brother, I like your video very much. I have a problem that I bind the car to UE5 like your previous video. When I give the material, the software will be very stuck. The car file is about 500M. I don’t know where the problem is. I I would also like to ask you what you do when you need to use a large amount of data to make car animations, because you know that the performance of car video quality is also related to the number of car data surfaces.

[@postprocessed]

Hey! For some reason your comment was sent to held ones. Okay - in that case I split models and import them separately. For example wheels + floor only. So I have body mount point and wheel which will be rigged. Than I import External parts, like doors, hood, roof etc. as one mesh. Than interior as separate mesh. Unreal handles badly big size models. So I prefer to spit them

[@_casg]

FIVE MEN DAYS !? Letsss gooooo

[@dimitrispappas2411]

Great work man, may I ask you how much GPU memory is needed for this video?

[@postprocessed]

Well 8gb would be enough, especially for interior shots, it is not very intense. The city shot I didn’t optimize well, so it would need more like 12gb

[@dimitrispappas2411]

Thanks for your answer. I believe that UE consumes more GPU memory compared to render engines like Fstorm, corona, etc.@@postprocessed

[@phsin767]

Hi! On 7:24 car a little jumping on Z axis, it's smthn like camera shake but for mesh. How it done? And another question: when using path trace renderer console commands to add to the renderer does not make sense?

[@postprocessed]

Hey! 1. It’s camera shake for camera only it just gives this effect of speed and shaking of everything. All is made to fake movements and car behavior 2. Yes it makes sense using console commands, it is possible

[@phsin767]

@@postprocessed thx! Looking like only car shaking)

[@amynfarooqui]

I really like you tuts. Amazing work. I’m doing some car renders in a showroom setup with dark mode and having really bad noise appearing in reflection. And this more due to when I added fog. Have made samples as high as 12000 but it doesn’t go away. Any tips would be great. And how do you bring in meta human and link with a moving car that I have been facing issues link objects. Like camera linked to a car that is linked on a revolving platform and camera the camera goes somewhere else, if you know what I mean. 🙏🏻

[@damnfail9316]

share your render setup maybe? 12000 is too high, as this video maybe took 1024 samples. i'm sure there is something is wrong with your setup with 12000 samples still got noisy reflection.

[@amynfarooqui]

@@damnfail9316 where should I share?

[@postprocessed]

Hey! In that case if 12000 samples (Which is TOO MUCH) not making clean render you should start troubleshooting your light setup. It may be too complicated. Make also sure you have Denoiser enabled in settings. But, really dude, 12000 is absolute overkill. Something is wrong with light setup\post process settings

Where should I share some screenshots and get help on this. I noticed that when I added fog this started happening.

[@ExacoMvm]

Modeling in UE looks slightly painful, probs would be way better to do it inside 3D app like Blender as you can also give it more complex and detailed shapes rather than building everything out of rectangles.

[@postprocessed]

True, but it is still fast and easy way to do blocking in UE

[@pedroschereibermunhoz750]

What setup do you have? because on my pc it takes about 140 hours to render 40 seconds

[@postprocessed]

I have RTX 4090 😅, but you can try rendering in Lumen or optimizing your scene, reduce sources of light. Also try disabling denoiser for Path Tracing in Post Processing volume or via console command in movie render queue. r.PathTracing.Denoiser 0

[@archiesully]

Could you please go over how you texture cars in unreal?

[@postprocessed]

Yep! But first - try free Epic Automotive Materials Pack on Unreal Marketplace, maybe after that you won’t need my explanation as it would be easy process for you)

[@rickin10]

Man, I wish this making of was made 7 years ago. Maybe I could be doing full cgi production just like this, because I'm passionate about cgi and cars. But now, I'm doing architectural visualization, my other passion, but I always wondered what could happen if I was into automotive industry....

[@stefevr]

Not too late to switch! I got really annoyed with archviz, i started using unreal to meet client's constant changes (you probably know what i mean), i ended up also doing car videos and in then end no i'm working full time for automotive work, and the switch has been night and day in terms of fun. I love archviz still but only for personal projects

[@povilaslondon]

I'll tell you one thing about automotive industry (I'm working in it), it's really boring and limited. You deal with really uneducated clients most of the time and their feedback mostly is ridiculous. Clients very rarely understand/want actual high quality, even the original commercial of McLaren is lacking a lot due to limitations of the software used, but I bet you that people in change couldn't care less and all they wanted was to bash out stuff as quickly as possible (time is money). You would be lucky to end up in a place where people are actually pushing the limits and not concentrating on the most profit out of it. In last 4 years since I moved to automotive (I've been in arhcviz, advertisement and interactive projects for a long time before moving to automotive) I can clearly notice that my skills are starting to degrade due to all the things I've stated above, lack of proper CGI workflows, as nowadays everyone is jumping to UE wagon trying to skip fundamentals of what makes CGI great and automotive industry is suffering from this probably the most. If you don't work for OEM then your deadlines will be super fast, you will need to deal with crazy feedback and your projects will most likely involve a lot of boring build and price (car configurator) stuff. If you do work for OEM you will usually be bored to death due very slow pace and insane hierarchy of the massive company, big egos around etc. To sum up if you really want to do interesting CGI don't get stuck in a place where they serve only one industry (archviz, automotive etc). The sad bit is that when you will try to push for the highest quality you will most likely be told of because it "will take too long". And thats the reality. My advice is to find a place where they value quality regardless of the type of the item/topic it is about and then transfer that quality you will learn in a work environment to your personal projects, as it is most likely will be your only chance to do what you really wan to do. When you get older, start a family or simply get overworked, your time after work becomes super precious and that's why it is vital to be in a work environment focusing on quality and not quantity/speed. You don't want to spend ALL your free time next to pc learning the things that you couldn't learn at work because they were only interested in quantity and had 0 interest in developing top tier artists. And the sad fact is that automotive industry is not made for this, well most of the time, there are always some exceptions.
