Object Pivot Point | 5-Minute Materials [UE4/UE5]

[@Haukett]

every time i run into a problem i think to myself 'Charlie probably knows how to fix this' and watching your videos always helps solve it! thank you for putting so much time into your videos and explaining things in such a great way!

[@dominikgomoka8541]

Man, you saved my day (and probably the whole concept for my wind system too). Thanks for sharing all these UE tricks with us! Now back to my foliage swaying, bending, twisting, jiggling, Thank you ;)

[@unreasonablebastards753]

Absolutely love this series

[@PrismaticaDev]

Super happy to hear that :) It's funny because I just turn the camera on and start rambling, trying to explain it exactly how I understand it haha

[@unreasonablebastards753]

@@PrismaticaDev lmao well whatever you are doing, it works :'D so many other videos are just....do this, do that...at the end you have a working thing, and zero idea of how it actually functions - which is like the whole point lmao

[@Fokkusu]

amazing that you are covering this node, I've been using it recently to make fake blob shadows and with this vidya I learned things to explore more stuff, its surprisingly useful :D, thanks a lot ^^

[@PrismaticaDev]

Niiiice! Glad it's given you some more ideas :)

[@morganlak4337]

How does your fake shadow material work? Sounds interesting

[@Fokkusu]

@@morganlak4337 basically we put planes masked that use a texture to draw shadows instead of rendering a traditional shadow with lightning, is cheaper, the drawbacks are that is totally not flexible and that is hard to work with

[@Fokkusu]

we use a component to automatically put the planes under the models at the correct position and choose the correct texture for the shadow

[@thegreendude2086]

You have a peacock in addition to the cats??? You are living THE life charles, im so jealous

[@CosmicComputer]

you know its about to get real when Charlie has the towel.

[@PrismaticaDev]

Haha showers are the best for inspiration, and my hair isn't going to dry itself!

[@bella-rj5ch]

this was extremely helpful, thankyou!

[@Quolity]

I think we can all agree Charlie makes the best thumbnails

[@PrismaticaDev]

I try, I try ;) haha

[@ali3ser]

this is great! would you also consider making a full tutorial for the foliage bending that you've showed here? it's looking amazing but i cannot make the nodes out from the peek we got here :D

[@PrismaticaDev]

Hey Ali! The whole system is from my 3-part Landscape Interaction system so you'd need to be up to date with that in order for any explaination to make sense haha

[@ali3ser]

@@PrismaticaDev ah i see! i will follow along that 3-part series at some point, so that's great. is the foliage bending thing mentioned in there?

[@0805slawek]

How make this technicue darkner bottom plant and brighter top? I try connect output to lerp alpha but strange effect, when i try more black then colour move axis Z

[@morganlak4337]

Instead of making it a lerp alpha you can multiply the bounding box UVs by a Brightness scalar parameter and then multiply that output against your texture

[@harshitpenamata2682]

What if the pivot is offsetted and not at the bottom , i mean what if its a vertex anim ? The pivot is at 0,0,0 and the actor is moving some place else.

[@Korhartful]

Thank you dude!

[@PrismaticaDev]

No worries at all :) Hope it helped!

[@Limanima]

Wow, that wind effect on the trees is really awsome. How do you come up with this?!

[@mazfrans9568]

Is it posible to use this for object to act as offset their pivot to somewhere?

[@TilW]

4:42 did one of your cats just murder the peacock?

[@PrismaticaDev]

I wish, at least then it would stop interrupting me haha

[@mannythepirate]

You do need to feature your peacock more often in your videos

[@PrismaticaDev]

Haha oh lord. Might have to do some mo-cap of him :P
