Learn how to make a Multiplayer Survival Game in Unreal Engine 5: smartpoly.teachable.com

[@borrowedtruths6955]

I'm taking a break from the survival game for a few days to attempt to do this but can't seem to figure it out. Can you help? I have a train locomotive following a train track spline, I then added another train car to the same track spline, both are BP's, but the second train car starts at the exact same place as the first one, the locomotive. Obviously, I need the second car to be connected to the back of the locomotive and follow it around the track, which I simply cannot figure out how to do. Any help or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I was checking out this course and watched the lecture 1 preview video on the website and the CC was in Dutch/German ?? not sure, and there was no option to change the CC to another language like English? Are all the courses CC in a language other then English.I am interested in the buying the couse but I use CC a lot to be able to follow along with videos. : )

[@硬核游戏玩家]

How often does the Survival Game course update its lectures?

[@DevGods]

Base pass at 2500 instructions holy moly. That’s heavy af

[@poken9293]

Unreal engine is just leaping ahead of the other engines rn

[@MonsterJuiced]

True, I still seethe at how good Unity's point cloud system is and how accessible. Ours is very limited unless you make a bunch of custom nodes

[@Ehren1337]

But limits pc specs. I think 1070 is probably best lowest gpu you can use for unreal. Anything on 1070's level unless it shows 1440p on mine since mine is 1440p monitor then 1080p probably works good for anything lower than 1070.

[@BULLAKI]

Have you tried layering a decal material on top of glass? I'm trying to add a top decal layer made with substance but the problem is that the output node must be set to TranslucentGreyTrasmittance for glass to work. So it won't work... the decal is translucent. It would be good to know how did they manage to add those mud decals on top of the opal material.

[@dylan1867]

Check out "dielectric & metallic" section here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ3boaKPZrmZobs

[@tylerbeaumont]

I’m thinking the mud decals could have been a part of the material itself, rather than an actual decal. Like.. maybe colliding with the mud particle adds to a mask, and that mask is what controls the mud? I could be wrong though, I haven’t watched the actual showcase since it first released, and can’t remember exactly how it looked on there beyond the few clips in this video.

[@distorta]

The mud is a normal map/color map material that is assigned to a vector map color channel. You can change and draw to the three channels (RGB) and assign them to materials. Vector maps can be changed in realtime in blueprints via material parameter variable, so thats what it is.

[@apollogt5506]

thank you so much!!!!! you are so kind to share this tutorial and you did it so well.

[@KIRKS]

The amount of ideas coming to mind now 😃 Great vid bro.

[@kiferingas129]

in bornout paradise we have irdiscent colors, what is the difference of this and the bornout textures

[@LORENZOCOLALONGO]

Is version 5.2 already available?

[@JeffTheHippo]

yes but its a preview version, says its unstable so i wouldnt use it for any active development just yet

[@Ehren1337]

Says April according to google.

[@xSTstSTx]

How can you edit the Material Domain and Shading Model settings for post processing effects? Can't seem to change them with Substrate enabled. Thanks, informative vid.

[@cptvideo2]

Greetings -- I made some progress on trying to duplicate the thin-film translucency from the tech talk. In project settings, under rendering->Substrate, turn on "Substrate opaque material rough refraction," and in the settings for the material itself, set Blend Mode = TranslucentColoredTransmittance, turn off Cast Ray Traced Shadows, and set Lighting Mode to Surface ForwardShading. Question for you: Where did you get the shader ball you're using? I think all I've found is an older one, so it has an air gap in it that I'm not seeing in the shader ball used in the demo or in the one in your video. Great job on the video - thanks!

[@cptvideo2]

Update: I found the newer shaderball :-)

[@benzo067]

​@@cptvideo2 can you please tell me where. I very want to create this material

[@FeedingWolves]

Awesome tutorial!!

[@DUONGMINHNHUT-y6m]

Thank you so much for your video. Great video.

[@othman4500]

Can you make an explanation video about ( pay money so play ) inside the game . When you click on Play you need to pay for play and the payment method Play console

[@rockygingerstudio]

Hi, I want to buy your course for to create a survival game. I just have one concern so I am asking you to make sure. I went to the website, but on the pages with the video chapters I don't see everything promised by the course. It stops at "creating containers/chest..," I suppose I don't see more because I have not payed yet but I want to make sure before paying, thank you in advance. PS: My english is bad sorry I hope you understood well...

[@SmartPoly]

it has 20 total chapters, we are currently on chapter 10/20 and there is 120+ lectures already uploaded, and near 40 hours of course content

[@uimoos]

is there a procedural way to create a car paint flakes wihtout using a normal map? when i apply the paint on a car, it gets distorted becuase of the uv;s possibly, the normal map is getting stretched and it looks weird

[@michaelconnellymms]

how did you get the 5.2 project SP?

[@SmartPoly]

I created it using 5.2 preview.

[@brandonjacksoon]

Thanks mate! Liked and subscribed!

[@emperorscotty]

Every since i enable substrate i cant make a neon sign, please tutorial, cant get the opacity and emissions options to go through at the same time anymore

[@wingzero1260]

Hi I was wondering about the survival game course. I can't find where to purchase or be apart of.

[@kaisriceplaystation-xbox5895]

Hey! I purchased your island completed project but it won’t open properly. I was wondering if you could help me at all?

[@shaanynaseer]

Does this work with pathtracing? when i turn on PT all materials goes grey.

Fantastic. Very well explained. New Follower

[@simoneremor7148]

How can I solve translucency overlap problem ? Translucency shader in substrate materials are so cool but there still the problem whit the sort of translucency object.

[@quackcharge]

there's a setting in project settings for translucent materials which might help. also one in the lumen category iirc

[@phalhappy8612]

can you share how to do texture bombing, paralax occlusion, and runtime virtual texture in substrate? Thank you.

[@skioppinovero]

I mistakenly closed the event graph window of the material and I can't find the window again, what can I do?

[@SanOcelotl]

Is refraction nos suported? It doesn't change from disabled for me

[@hamedislam7080]

thanks for sharing the details of the hack. working perfectly fine with me

Can You Make a Tutorial of doing Locomotion Animation blueprint? Like the one you did in The Cyber Punk Video. Where did you get them Animations from, in the cyber Punk Video?😀

[@MartinMenso-TheInvisibleParty]

Does pathtracer work with substrate?

[@360space_pro]

It seems to me, no (

[@0rdyin]

The new substrate material system seems to have a lot of similarities with Pixar Renderman's Lama material system..🤔

[@CombatFXZone]

sus.

[@AlFredo-sx2yy]

well because everything in graphics programming is based on papers published by researchers in physics and computer graphics, so it would be expected that either they used the same or similar papers to make this system, or they contracted some engineers that may have worked on pixar's renger engine or similar software at some point.

[@Potatinized]

@@AlFredo-sx2yy right? It's like saying all renderer are stealing from Renderman because of the Ed Catmull's equation.

[@Retrocaus]

didn't they release it open source it surely wasn't a runtime tool though they render farm it

[@marcfruchtman9473]

Great review. Thanks you!

how to make post process material with substrate?

[@mindped]

whats so special about substrate? Is it better for performance when layering materials?

[@blaiseandthebambina]

When is your next chapter going to be released?

[@peteruelimaa4973]

Could an inner layer also emit light?

[@lista_devideos_cursoscompl1338]

:0 good job smart poly chan

[@360space_pro]

Does it work with raytracing reflections?

[@sparkat150]

it didnt work for me, the bottom colour never showed up despite doing exactly what you did.

Why did i Get an UE Ad on this😂

[@SmartPoly]

what was the ad?

[@MarkOfArgyll]

3000 instructions.. ouch! 🤣

[@stevenchristy6156]

Totally not worth it if it wastes GPU resources.

[@uaidavi]

It doesn't necessarily. I mean, yeah, these layered materials are really expensive, but if you use it as a normal material it still works better than legacy, getting rid of the artifacts between different roughness/metallic values.

[@stevenchristy6156]

I think you miss the point, but in fairness I was being terse so I'll explain what I meant. Adopting a new shading model which niche features that are rarely used will only worth it if there is negligible loss of performance. Should the new model offer ways of achieving existing results with better performance then that would be a good reason to adopt it. However, if the opposite is true then that's not worth having the feature the way it is currently implemented where to make use of it even for a single material requires all materials using the same system. So *if* it makes existing materials slower (I'm not stating it is or it isn't only that it looks like it might) and you think its smart to embrace it knowing your games will lose fps and gain nothing because you don't really use the fancy stuff except in a couple places where no one will actually even notice it then by all means, you do you.

[@ruslandad365]

Ha ha ha I'm a Blender user I can clearly see that the new material system is copied directly from the Cycles engine
