10 Creative Ways to Make Money with Unreal Engine 5

[@StylizedStation]

But first, you need to learn Unreal Engine - so get started with my Unreal Engine for Beginners course: bit.ly/3k5xCNH

[@futurepastself2777]

I bookmarked it. What kind of computer do I need to work on UE5 my Mac is too old. But I'm willing to learn PC if it's cheaper and easier iv had an idea for a game for 6 years I'd love to try to make it

[@montydog990]

@@futurepastself2777 UE5 is VERY demanding, UE4 should be similar but im not sure by how much

[@jul8803]

1- Virtual Production (virtual 3D movie sets) 2- Augmented Reality 3- Music video production / live performance 4- Sound design with MetaSound 5- Virtual Reality 6- VTubers (virtual avatars with real-time capture) 7- Real-time simulations 8- Photogrammetry (3D scans) 9- Metahumans 10- Games?

Like Maybe - Color Changes When you enter a Light Environment to a Dark one. idk if i have one i wouldn't Sharing it with Randoes. Like any Opportunity you must be first one to act. if you Act to Slow other people will beat you to it!. Maybe make a EZ Stage Maker for Music Composers *Aka a Lightshow maker for Producers!* that has Options for VR if you want, etc.... okay enough give inning random ideas... (Most of these Ideas Exist... but they are not Mainstream for a Reason...)

[@lion_towers3d]

Very exciting time to be a real-time artist! Earlier this year, I did a freelance gig with an LA studio to make concert visuals on an LED wall - mostly nature scenes - forests and the like … and they were pretty shocked at how quickly iteration and final render times were. I think I ended up doing 5 separate scenes in under a week for them. Definitely lots of emerging markets out there!

just started my learning of it , though here it's not that popular yet

[@tuthures5824]

here's is my list before i watch the video: -filmmaking, unreal engine makes is much easier to do background at a low price Mandalorian series showed us the efficiency of using it combined with a lcd background -animation, it goes with filmmaking, due to the engine power you can track actor to make characters expressions this is much easier than making the expressions and movement handmade(altough Arcane made expressions fully handmade and turned out amazing) -interior design, don't see people talking often about it -virtual reality, its a niche that its gonna grow for the next years, probably if you could create some kind of game or even virtual in-products to something like vrchat or metaverse -videogame, i know thats what everyone is thinking about right now but its simply easier to make a game with next gen graphics now

[@benjaminreyes3624]

It won't be an easy journey but one I'm willing to take. This is so cool 😍

[@tm001]

"And I don't know, I guess you could make games too" You finally said it 🥳

that means there are many opportunities instead of making games where all people trying to do :))

I also found way to create manga panels using UE5 so you can create manga as well as 3d anime for sure.

[@pikachufan25]

[@anamorphicalan]

I am abstract photographer interested to start making abstract art with blender. what do I need to start? do I need textures and which tutorials are best for me? I have made nothing with blender.

[@IronKore]

already considering augmented reality for education, though am struggling with penetration through traditional commerce... there are reasons why, 3rd word problems lol

[@pikachufan25]

if you are Trying to incorporate this with Traditional Schools i think you are Approaching this wrong. you first need to convince the parents. not the Schools. Answer -Safety - how can my Kid Be safe inside of VR. A:(they can Simply Remove The VR Headset if they are Ever uncomfortable inside a Situation) -How can my Kid Learn More if they can Simply Remove the Headset? A: i have an answer but im curios.. XD -How much Will it cost me? i have 3 Kids! that is way too much money!. A: - this is where you have to come up with an Idea to Collab with the School xD- (you can ask your nearby School to work with us. *VR 4 Schools!* Foundations...). But of course you have to talk to School nearby you and make sure, you give them your Phone Number!. so they get to call you back When parents Starts Flocking the Door!. otherwise they will seek Someone Else!. (time is of the Essence!)... in general this works if you convince enough parents to Argue with the System, you are gonna get what you want. but Remember you din't heard that from me you heard that No one.... Good Luck!. Okay?, Okay... (incase you can't convince no-one, Try Harder and understand "why?").

[@suniixxsav]

You’re onto somethin

[@KurtStaInes]

Vtubers rely more on UNITY not UE5 . It is only CodeMiko who uses UE and Xsens for her mocap suit. Another note, UE5 requires RTX series cards or a Higher RX Radeon series which is to say a struggle since the GPU market is volatile due to scalpers and miners. Side note , UE5 is a complex program which requires a good CPU core and higher storage basically you will do an UPGRADE and Mac users which have to adjust for this. Think first when to invest in your workstation before making money with UE5 as an artist.

[@mistrfinga]

Unity has an more complete VR setup. UE5 is NOT ready for VR yet (out of Epics mouths). I know this as I use 4.27 for my VR work. Soon as Nanite and Lumen work in VR, it is game over. But I see your perspective. What a time to be alive for real time graphics though, right?

[@joelstolarski2244]

Or you can use Shadow virtual cloud pc. I use it. It will run Unreal with no problem. I havePower upgrade and just upgraded storage to 1 terabyte drive.

[@spicer41282]

Great 👍Tips! Next series? Pick one and do a case study in detail: basic methods/coding in Unreal. Extra hardware & software utilized. OR, All of these great potentials? Are untenable and unaffordable. Please show hands-on 🙏 basic examples. The above will Make them your most watched vid series!!!

I just stumbled across these videos and I was wondering what software should I begin with? I have no experience whatsoever and was looking for some advice.

[@pikachufan25]

well in my personal Opinion *and Experience *, all of these Software's all Hard As FUCK! and require lots of time and investment to learn i would say each Program will take 1 Year to learn how to use. (learn doesn't mean master learn means Confident enough to use it not confident enough to Make a MMO XD). it depends on what you want to do... but in short Unreal Engine - Coding Blender - Arts Sound Effects - Music You will have to Mix and Match These to get a Pleasing Results Arts + Coding + Sound Effects = Game. ARTS + Coding = Museums - Schools - Vtubing - etc Sound Effects + Coding = idk , Music Videos - uhm - etc!. Coding - Server Related Stuff, Logic Gates (Switches), Websites, Neural Networks (LATE GAME!),etc. Arts - you can Make Cool Space Ships like in Starwars!. Mocap Related Stuff, VFX! (late Game). etc Music - you get to make Music! (duh! XD), Sound Effects. Cool Voice Effects, Unique Instruments!,etc. Coding Being the Hardest one to learn but the most Diverse one (and well paid!). Music Being the Longest one to learn since it Requires you to Reverse Engineer songs. (Being the most Inconsistent with the paid! and you have to be very careful with Copyright infringement!). Arts Shortest one to Learn but Hardest one to Pull off. (Good Paid! if you are "good").

[@ahmedessamnouraldin]

I really like Art and game dev, but I feel like I lack the talent to be an artist.

[@adamkopp500]

For me personaly, talent is very misleading term almost a myth. If you enjoy doing art then do it and your creativity will naturaly grow. Of course it's way more complicated then that, but try not see it black and white, talent or no talent, if you do. (but what do I know :)

[@thegeekclub8810]

Talent is overrated. It’s just a head start. You can get there with hard work, it just takes more time.

An LED volume having “low overhead” is stretching it. CGI has only made movies more costly, with larger crews. They just were at computer workstations instead of in a real shop. The cost savings never happened.

[@egretfx]

I disagree. The cost of making something creators really wanted to make would have been humongous, CGI has saved that cost...

[@scarecrowhobo]

As a dropout, no school isnt that useful. If you still want a degree of education equivalent to the High School Diploma the GED works well and you spend much less time than 4+ years at a highschool. I should elaborate dropping out will have you lose memorable moments like graduation events and friendship bonds, possible connections to highly helpful teachers that can help support your career building, and scholarships. I can go on more about this but figure I just put this here.

[@thedoctor5478]

This is great and all but give it a year or so. AI will just generate the video end-to-end. I'm a software engineer and I know my job will be gone soon. It's no different for this so enjoy the income while it lasts.

I wouldn't say that, unity is also acquiring really powerful tools and they both must exist for them to have interest in improvement. Imagine moving to free use for under 1 mil usd? Unity has its purpose

[@drawmaster77]

As a Unity dev for over half decade, that's my thoughts exactly. We just dont have many of the cool tools Unreal does, and the ones that are there are there, are of subpar quality.
