Unreal Engine 5.4 - Render Graph (New Feature)

In this video we take a look at the new experimental Render Graph in Unreal 5.4, we will go over basic use of the Render Graph and how to setup a Beauty and Shadow pass of your scene. We will also cover solutions to some problems that you may run into when using the Render Graph in the Movie Render Queue.

• Unreal Engine 5+ Shado...
^ 0:40 - This is how to Create That Shadow Catcher Material.
Notes
I realized I kept saying Render Movie Queue instead of Movie Render Queue, Whoops.

shoot, I thought this was related to render dependency graph. Damn it unreal I need docs!

[@Starlingstudio]

very good tutorial thanks !

Awesome tutorial. Long time issue that is unfortunately a painful workaround. One thing i have tried and is seemingly working...is instead of making the override material, is to switch from lit in the deferred render to Lighting only, which does the override for you. Have you tried this and found any issues with it?

Hello! Thanks for the tutorial.It was great.How can i only render shadows in shadow pass .Is there a way to exclude the objects that we applied M_GreyBall?

[@JasonAdank]

does this also catch indirect / gi shadows?

[@SyntasLevel788]

very good video, great tutorial. Could I make a video suggestion? I've been looking everywhere and trying to do it myself, but to no avail, could you make a tutorial to create a lowbitrate effect in the post process? (or jpeg compression) I imagine that you would accept the challenge because this is something very difficult and I noticed that you have a lot of experience

[@renderbucket]

Let me ponder this a bit. 🤔

@@renderbucket Thank you very much, another suggestion is a datamosh effect (very difficult)

[@renderbucket]

This should give you some ideas to get started creating such effects. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpK1qmOpialnf7M

This is a great tutorial on the render graph, but the post process material only renders when using JPG. When using EXR or PNG, everything renders fine except the post process pass, which renders blank. Do you have a tutorial on how to render out the shadow pass as a transparent PNG that is usable in an after effects composite without having to unmult or remove a rasterized jpeg alpha?

[@danielnoll8502]

if you go into the PP Material and check "output alpha" and leave it to 1, you will get the same results with png and exr

@@danielnoll8502 where is output alpha? i can't fine that

[@danielnoll8502]

@@minyorrk Go into the Material Editor. Select the material. On the left in the properties, search for alpha.

[@danielnoll8502]

@@minyorrk In the Material Editor, select the Material. On the left in the details panel seach for Alpha. Enable Output Alpha. Your Material will get an Opacity Slot. Leave that at 1.0
