Unreal Engine 5 Beginner Tutorial for Film: Landscape and Materials

[@nxgentech]

Engagement comment + tip : Instead of tediously reaching out to the viewport controls, click on the the camera speed button and fiddle with the camera speed slider in increments, you can simply hold down the W (forward) or S (backward) key, and scroll the mousewheel to speed up/down the camera speed on the fly while you are navigating the world. This helps tremendously when working on environments where you need to place down small props but also need to get a bird's-eye view of the scene. This also works in most other viewports throughout UE, such as the Static Mesh Editor, where you really benefit from quickly zooming in and out to inspect both close up material details and general mesh silhouette.

[@MR3DDev]

That's a great tip, thanks gonna pin this one

[@filmmakercompany1995]

Absolutely logical and straight forward tutorial without any distractions. Very well done. Thank You!

[@hansolpurr]

Just found your stuff and wow. Not only are you showing pretty specific things, but you're giving really good overview knowledge of 3D as you explain stuff. Even stopping to explain the different texture maps someone would've just glossed over. Love the content.

[@FibrousPlanetsWorld]

Im glad people on youtube take the time to create these tutorials so thank you.

[@Anm8or]

thank you for this video. there are tons of tutorials for Unreal and the way that you specifically address the process and the steps you are taking rank this video with anything out there. keep your concise and specific methods and I am going to keep watching!

[@MR3DDev]

Stay tuned for next series which will even be more in depth :)

[@LilGnomeGames]

"Can I have a tutorial?" "For film?" "yesssssssss" *actually uses these tips for game development like a boss*

[@MR3DDev]

Makes me happier to know that game devs can also use these tutorials :)

[@CausallyExplained]

Just started your series, everything is detailed and very easy to understand. i doubt even paid tutorials are as good as yours, keep uploading man. ☺️

[@germanmairen]

best Unreal tutorials EVER, thanks! Never stop uploading content, man!

[@radamcqueen]

Tons of thanks to your easy to understand tutorials!!! I thought I was just stupid in understanding UE, but your tutorials convinced me and gave me confidence!!!!!!!!Thank you so much!!!!!!!🙇‍♀🙌👏

[@LouMires]

Thank you for your video series! So far, everything has been very clear and easy to follow. I am especially grateful for your coverage on spec reqs and recommendations.

[@3dmonkeybizz]

Excellent. I love the pace and depth of explanation in these tutorials. Many thanks again.

[@MR3DDev]

I am glad you like it :)

[@johndicus123]

@@MR3DDev Really Dude.... you're really doing me a BIG favor with how you explain things from the beginning, as I am a rank beginner in this and find it so huge and big.... I need a small simple place to begin, with everything explained real simple-like because I'm at that stage. Some others I try to follow and they say "and now we do 'such and such' and they click so fast I didn't see where the tab was, and usually they're using another version not too much like mine anyway. You're doing a great job! Good videos giving the info we need.

[@minxlabrada]

Thanks for these great tutorials! Like I noticed in the last video, my top menu bar look different. But, its all there. It just looks different. And I'm figuring it out. And it's all working so far.

Thanks for the tutorial; when I click and drag the PostProcessVolume I don't see the box like in your video, not sure why? EDIT: Just realised it was because I was in Cinematic Viewport the whole time :P

[@clapbacks]

nice content

[@grimventures]

This was going so well till I tried to add the Lava material using the Add button. Nothing happens. Megascans Folder doesn't appear. Anywhere to get an in depth tutorial on how the Quixel Bridge works and how the folder structures flow. Downloading assets using the Stand Alone app versus the UAssets folder. All very confusing really, especially when things don't go as planned versus the tutorial.

[@jorgesilveira763]

I think bridge for unreal is bugged. It should be as shown on the tutorial. My bridge plugin has the same problem as yours.

[@MR3DDev]

Yes I have the same problem, this is a bridge bug

[@jorgesilveira763]

@@MR3DDev update!! now when launching unreal prompt me with a compatibility message. Says megascansplugin was designed for unreal 4.26

[@jorgesilveira763]

Update!!! I fix it by manually installing the plugin in the engine/plug-ins folder of unreal 5.0 install directory with the standalone bridge app...I think there is a document right there with instructions in case you need to install/uninstall manually (I remember I had to delete the script it once for 3dmax cuz the update was broken) You can install either the version for 4.26 or the one for 4.27...as a matter of fact unreal launcher install the 4.26 for you right now but I overwrited it with the 4.27 using bridge standalone as I mentioned before.

my toolbars/buttons look completely different Select Mode > Landscape. No idea how you removed your map.

Or use tile-able materials. And then there is procedural. Hard tiled materials are all relegated to the 'free' sections for a reason.

Been trying to teach myself this and I love all your videos.

@@armondtanz There are ways to mask the tiling but you always need to add assets to mask that out, its how it has been done in games forever.
