You are a LEGEND

[@wayne9954]

I'm following you guys daily, love the podcast and content you put out. I learned a lot and still learn a lot from you guys. I thoroughly respect what the both of you have accomplished. Keep it up, cant imagine my UE5 journey without the two of you.

[@badxstudio]

Thank you very much for telling us buddy. It means a lot. We are so happy that we could be a part of your journey

[@larsonben3380]

I've discovered two things that can give your stormtroopers more detail. (If you download the same asset as bad decisions studio) First is the Occlusion maps that bad decisions studio left aside and ignored: The occlusion maps are for the ambient occlusion only. Connect the RGB pin striaght to ambient occlusion, and it will change how your troopers look in different lighting scenarios. Second is the normal map for body: It's not supposed to be yellow; normal maps are supposed to be purple. Unreal probably thinks it's a different map on download. To change it: open up the normal map, and in the details, find the compression tab and change the compression settings from 'Default' to 'Normalmap'. Then you can plug the RGB pin straight into normal.

[@ioiocman]

Great video series so far! Just a little thing, I was surprised that the color of the normal map was yellow, and indeed you need to fix it since it is not imported as a normal map. It is an easy fix though since you only have to change the compression setting to "normal map". Hope it'll help!

[@TAN_409]

thank you guys so much for making this tutorial !! i was trying to figure out how to make a cinematic and i saw you videos. thx again keep up the great work !!

When you zoom on the hand on 15:35 the left hand is a bit wonky on the wrist, prob a gimbal problem, is there a way to fix that?

Anyone else having a prolem importing the fbx files to mixamo and to unreal? For some reason mixamo doesn't recognize it as a fbx file even though it is. And the engine won't let me import the fbx textures, it just doesn't recognize them. (not letting me drag them in and not appearing in the file eexplorer when I try to import from the content browser). Doesn't anyone know how to fix this?

you have to extract it first, its bcoz its in a zipfile

Well, I just completed this section, and I have storm troopers dancing the macarena while another is talking on a cell phone. "Can I get assigned to the death star? Please? An exploding death is better than this." I even made a vid of it.

The first chapters were a bit hard (especially the nodes I'd say) but since the chapter 9, everything is going so fun so far!

We are getting to the good parts. Camera is coming soon ;)

[@lefthander3807]

Hi, very informative tutorial, I've never heard about Gbl file before, soo cool that will import with textures, one question, Mixamo won't accept Gbl files so how can upload it to Mixamo if I wanna import animations for Gbl ?

[@lilien_rig]

very great tutorial, thanks guys

[@amiens_6]

Hello I’m just a little concerned about my scene it doesn’t look as good as your in terms of quality idk if it’s because of a setting option that I don’t have on or could it be my graphic card ?

[@F4ng_Yuan]

for some reason when i try to upload the fbx file to mixamo it says "sorry, unable to map your existing skeleton". How do i fix that?

[@MabrukGaming]

just upload the zip file, and the problem is solved

Can you please make a tutorial on how to use livelink app for metahuman for facial animations(I know this already but) and I want to know how I can animate the hands and chest like real human without any 3d suit or paid softwares like dollars mono which costs (100$)full body mocaps, Like I want tomake metahuman animation like this guy -> virtual sypac who has almost million subs... Please make a video on this, would be much helpful.

[@rafaeld-g170]

Hello guys, I have been following along on your AMAZING tutorial so far and its been great, however I have a problem with the stormtrooper textures. When i download the fbx it gives the textures to me as png files, which Unreal will not accept. I don't know how to fix this problem. I have tried downloading other stormtrooper models, but I still have the same png problem. Can someone please help?

[@robw3418]

you have to extract it first, your folder will have that option up top. its because its in a zipfile

[@rafaeld-g170]

@@robw3418 Yeah, I thought so too but even when it’s unzipped and on my desktop, unreal will not accept it. The icon does not have the Unreal logo in a folder like theirs, just a blank sheet of paper in the folder. This has been happening for a lot of other tutorials too. When I download texture packs, animations or sounds my computer still won’t read them as unreal engine files, just code that can be opened on a word document.

Hi guys, One question can you animate manually or upload animations from Mixamo for example a toy that you scanned with polycam?

[@michaelb1099]

biggest problem i have when i import the mixamo animation walk in place i have foot slipping problems when trying to use in unreal is there a solution for this or a better way to handle it maybe not bring in as walk in place?

[@badxstudio]

Wait what foot slipping? Don't worry we will cover how to animate these characters correctly! it is coming in the animation chapter

[@tristanr.1287]

For some reason when I try to import the textures, they cannot go into the stormtroopers file. How do I fix that?

[@thegraciousgames]

Hi, hope im not too late and you havent given up entirely but i did find a FIX. So the zip.d FBX file that includes the textures (Stormtrooper rigged 3d Model) all need to be extracted outside your downloads folder, so for example, you can extract it to your Documents folder. And now it should work when you drag them into Content Drawer. Hope this helps! P.S - i nearly gave up

[@_bymahi_]

Perfect💥💥

[@badxstudio]

My favorite person

[@rafaelgayon]

how come when i upload the file into mixamo, it tells me that it is unsupported?..

[@aravindsanjeev4150]

Don't upload directly from the zip file. Instead unzip and try again.

[@suman_adh]

I'm getting "Texture streaming pool over budget" and "Video memory has been exhausted (x MiB over budget, Expect extremely poor performance. How do I fix this issue.

[@badxstudio]

Ok so first thing you are going to want to do is turn down your "Engine Scalibility Settings" from Cinematic to something lower while you are working. What is it on now?? And then you can use this command: r.Streaming.PoolSize 0 To set an unlimited budget for poolsize ... this is not the best fix but removes the warning.

[@suman_adh]

@@badxstudio thank you. I heard there is issue with directx12 nanite also. I imported storm toppers with nanite build and used pattern xform to populate them hehe that may be? Anyway that r.Strraming.PoolSize did help with texture streaming.
