Unreal Engine 5.5 Render Settings

[@codetheredone]

There are too many Unreal KZbin channels to keep up with. This is great high quality info. Please keep up the great work. Love that I found this channel!

[@Clydiie]

Not enough if you ask me

[@alyasVictorio]

There are other 4 good channels too like Unreal Sensei, Smart Poly, Gamesfromscratch, and askNK

[@seancollett6]

Your timing couldn't be any better. Thanks Jon!!

[@kevinbillington9773]

Excellent work. Gave up on Unreal last year for creating scenes that our film making club could use for filming locations we could never dream of finding. To many errors were coming up when trying to render the scenes out, I was pulling out my hair in frustration. I have been asked to create a village scene surrounded by mountains, with a reveal shot of the scene,, basically the POV of the protagonist looking through undergrowth to reveal the view down below. So I am giving it another go. Trying to learn new tricks at 60 years young is heavy going.😁

[@JonJagsNee]

oh btw, if you're using the Epic Games Medieval village, i don't recommend using game overrides :) That basically brute force loads EVERYTHING into the GPU during render and unless you have a massive computer, it crashes :P So stoked to hear that you're continually learning at 60. I hope to be like that when i'm older :) "Always learning, always improving" - Abe Leal

[@jamaal95]

We love you Jon! I am now dubbing you the people's professor! lol

[@destination_moon6392]

Thanks for the updated version.

[@neiljamessloan]

Good stuff man! Keep up the sharing. It's appreciated.

[@EnterMyDreams]

Love the advanced settings!

[@sheriff_99]

Thanks for explaining game overrides this time

[@michaelb1099]

Once again outstanding video tutorial Thank you for all your help

[@ohgott8251]

Great stuff! Thank you 👏

[@yusufbulut4312]

Dear Jon! you are best!

[@devabicer6571]

great video, thanks!

[@afssai]

Thanks very informative video!

[@windigital6986]

Love it!!!

[@rubberdog]

Great tutorial, I love to squeeze the best out of unreal, loving 5.5, feels more fluid. Got a question with regard to frame rates, what's the best for social media? Peace from Scotland

[@effectatron]

I want to add, if you're using a metahuman with hair, and that hair is hyper reflective bc of lumen, turn shading to Epic instead of cinematic and it should fix it.

[@JonJagsNee]

Yo, love your channel! Agreed with this statement here and I'll add that rendering Metahumans is a whole separate beast that makes me want to pull my non-reflective hair out. lol

[@homorockiens.studio]

thanks

[@CyberDave404]

I love your videos Jon! What about exporting in ProRes? Is it better than PNG Sequence? Awesome tutorial, as always. Cheers!

[@JonJagsNee]

I personally don't mind using .png sequences :) I did a study to see what I could find about ProRes but this was a few years go. May not apply anymore but it's worth testing :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eF7KnnVmoMtsrq8si=qQS1YKSL-MHUKArT

[@CyberDave404]

@@JonJagsNee Thank you for the link. I can't believe I missed that one. It’s super helpful for me since I am focused on optimizing my workflow for cinematics, rather than games. You are the best!

[@Yoz-Montana]

Amazing! Do you know how to remove gradient banding on rendered images? Even using setting Rec 709, sRGB, .exr sequence and Apple ProRes 422HQ and I still have gradient banding as we can see in your video on the background of the scene behind your object.

[@JonJagsNee]

KZbin compression is hot garbage. 😅 from what I can see, looks good on my computer

[@funkfz6312]

you dont use OCIO in color output?? just disable tone curve??

[@JonJagsNee]

You can and I personally do use OCIO :) However, most people don't have a ton of knowledge on ACES and what I care most about is a 1 to 1 conversion of my Unreal view port to my post processing software. Disabling the tone curve gets me there most of the time when I'm being lazy :) At the end of the day, i just want a pretty picture to post on the internet and share with my clients.

[@mostafamuayed823]

Please make a video about rendering groom in unreal and its console commands

[@JonJagsNee]

For metahumans?

[@mostafamuayed823]

@JonJagsNee groom overall.when importing groom from xgen and yeti and ... .

[@michaelb1099]

could you maybe explain the fps settings in the output they need to match what is in sequence ie i have 60fps in sequence then do i go custom in output and set to 60????

[@lapotk.3150]

How do you render metal surfaces if you want to get super clean metal for motion graphics? the reflection value is 0.15-0.3

[@wertup123]

I signed up to download your render setting's. Upon exporting, I am getting an error saying there are no files in the compressed folder. Any clues?

[@JonJagsNee]

oh weird, i'll check on that now. send me an email at [e-mail] and I can shoot it over to you :)

[@carlstrand1]

I've set this up to render, so looking forward to what happens. One question: if I have 4 cameras in the scene that I need to render the same sequence animation, is there a way of setting it up across multiple camera shots and rendering out all the shots in the render queue?

[@JonJagsNee]

Yeah man, in your sequencer (timeline) set your playhead where you want the camera cut to occur then on the camera cut track, hit the + button and select your second camera. Repeat for the other cameras and just render the full sequence with your multiple cuts. You can think of your camera cut track like a video timeline in Premiere, Da Vinci or Final Cut :D

[@carlstrand1]

@ thank you I’ll give that a try first thing. Appreciate your response 🙌🏼🫶🏼

[@BlankerWahnsinn]

Does someone know how to write the timcode in the filename?

[@FramsterX]

Thanks for the video. Tried downloading preset from your website, the downloaded zip is not opening and throws me an error. Can you please check.

[@JonJagsNee]

Interesting? What's the error? Seems to be working on my end :) Maybe try WinRar to extract?

[@TechGoop]

Have you noticed any speed or quality improvements in 5.5? Thanks again..

[@DREAM_bud_studios3]

No improvements but only some features are added like inbuilt audio to face animation

[@kunalbiswas3936]

Updated video on unreal Engine 5.5 pathtracing

[@anuanuuu-t3t]

we cant render in video format ?

[@JonJagsNee]

You can technically render AppleProRes but I don't recommend it :)

[@FerziIsayev]

People who are interested in high-res renders or something, already know better where the level seq is lol xD

[@JonJagsNee]

Gotchu man! :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYjLk3iNd9ekmpY
