Great tutorial. Can you tell a bit about shadow catcher plane like how did you make the shadows soft/feather as mine are hard. Much appreciated 🔥

[@HussinKhan]

This is a very good question. I did not cover that in my video. Since the light is coming from the Directional light, you can use the Source Angle and/or Source Soft Angle to soften the shadow. Let me know how it goes? Good luck!!

Very nice explanation.. Helpful.

[@HussinKhan]

Thank you!

[@lucas-correa]

Amazing content! I created a version of my own and I learned a lot about how to work with Unreal. I love it because it renders so fast!

[@HussinKhan]

Well done! UE is amazing!

amazing cotent bro, thanks so much.

[@auto_Silencer]

Cool. Please make more as a sequence tutorial?

[@HussinKhan]

Planning to, pls stay tuned! 😀

[@syh2780]

Great tutorial and I have a question. What is the purpose of selecting GameOverrides in MRQ? I have never selected it before.

[@HussinKhan]

Hi thank you, game override ensures the rendering is set to the highest settings. More info here dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/cinematic-rendering-image-quality-settings-in-unreal-engine?application_version=5.3#gameoverrides

[@pantov]

yhanx for this tutorial, helps me a lot, but i m wondering if it's possible to clone animated geometry and drive the frame index of the clones animation with a effector?

[@HussinKhan]

Hi, I don't really understand the questions. What are you trying to achieve?

[@pantov]

@@HussinKhan Thank you for the reply :-) i have a animation of umbrella opening, i exported the animation to ue5.4 (alembic file or a fbx with a 'vertex animation texture' (VAT)). now i want to make a array of umbrella's where the position of a effector controls the animation of the umbrella's so that the umbrellas closest to the effector are open, and gradually close based on how far they are from the effector.

[@pantov]

im happy to provide some assets if you want to experiment

[@HussinKhan]

@@pantov that is a very interesting idea. I'm thinking of using 2 effectors, one to open/close the umbrella the other as a proximity effector, but I'm not sure if it will work. Need to give this some thoughts. 🤔

[@pantov]

@@HussinKhan cool! lemme know if i can help, i use 3dsmax, more than happy to set something up to test with. i made similar setups in 3dsmax, i simply link the 'animation offset parameter' (frame index) in the 'pointcache-modifier' in the mesh object's modifier-stack to a distanceToObject-Value, and convert float to int. but i got idea how to in ue5 :-)

[@asharacrauwels]

Hi, great tutorial, thanks!! Keep having one issue, when rendering cam2 it looks to go on endlessly, far beyond the number of frames to render. it has someting to do with time dillitation, even with file name format {sequence_name}.{frame_number_rel}. everything else works fine.

[@HussinKhan]

I think it’s a bug of some sort, I have the same issue sometimes. Just let it run. Another thing you can do is lessen the MRQ spatial count. Experiment with that. Hopefully Epic will sort this out in the next update.

[@asharacrauwels]

@@HussinKhan lowering spatial count helps! thanks again!

[@tanmaypatel28]

The video is amazing!! But I have a question about the logo. Can we use our own logo instead of the Unreal logo? If so, what file formats are accepted? How do I convert my logo and add it to the project?

[@HussinKhan]

Hi, yes you can. Make a black and white PNG logo and drag into the content browser. Good luck!

[@buzzwhitebeard]

@@HussinKhan Does the logo need to be white for the height and black for nothing? or can it also be the other way around? and does it also work with illustrator files or just png?

[@HussinKhan]

@@buzzwhitebeardyes for this example it had to be b/w. For a reverse effect it can be the other way around. UE only recognises raster files when importing so png is probably the best here coz it comes with an alpha channel but pls experiment with other formats.

[@buzzwhitebeard]

@@HussinKhan Thank you, for the great tutorial and answer!

[@sanketmestry7120]

Hello Sir this really Helpful tutorial with great explanation, waiting for more knowledge to gain from you, Sir i want know how to put 2 different set of flower color in logo (like upper half different color flower and lower half of logo with other color flowers), can you help us

[@HussinKhan]

Thank you Sanket! You can, download a different flower from Quixel then add into the cloner, lower the diff flower a bit if you need to. Good luck!

[@polystormstudio]

There is no RotationMin or RotationMax. I'm on 5.4.1, they must have removed it or renamed it. EDIT - nevermind, I was met with a load of other problems too (ie, "The object bound to this track is missing"). Looks like UE's motion design capabilities isn't ready yet. Back to C4D I go...

[@HussinKhan]

Hi, the Cloner Rotation Min/Max is under the Range section. Yes the MD is still experimental, will probably improve with time.

[@devindersingh7155]

My flowers are not showing any texturessss😢 please help

[@HussinKhan]

Did you change their colors @12:59

[@devindersingh7155]

No, when i place my flowers in cloner they have no texture they look grey.btw thanks for replying

[@HussinKhan]

@@devindersingh7155you need to change their color as I mentioned in the video.

[@user-ev4ud5xs2j]

There are many bugs in motion design at present. The animator's effect is unstable and the rendering output cannot work. Text strokes cannot be saved and the rendering output cannot be saved. The material designer's multi-effect overlay cannot be saved. The SVG model generation axis is automatically offset and many effects fail. . . Most bugs are related to material designer animator SVG. . .

[@HussinKhan]

Yes agreed, that is expected though. It is an experimental feature at the moment. I'm sure Epic Games is collecting the feedback and will fix the short comings. Thank you.
