Unreal Engine 5’s New Motion Graphic Tools Will Blow Your Mind! | Project Avalanche

[@JonathanWinbush]

Let me know what you think and also let me know how we can improve UE5 for designers to be more comfortable! Also thank you to todays Sponsor Ankbit E600Pro Active Noise Cancelling Headphone 1mii.shop/collections/headphones/products/e600pro-active-noise-cancelling-headphone

[@rekad8181]

Is there an ability to include data from Google sheets? Live network connection? Or even make your own interface for the web, for editors to just change video and data?

[@JonathanWinbush]

@@rekad8181 I'm not sure about the web stuff but you can put like excel sheet data in there. I didn't want to make the video super long but I do have an example of an election style graphic running the poll results in real-time

[@altaieuseawalker3357]

Settings to increase the UI elements like in Blender. The mini AE UI is killing my eyes and my neck!

[@bara_abudhair]

Hey WINBUSH .. Whatup whatup .. thanks again for everything you do .. and thanks for this amazing video about project avalanche .. but I'm trying to understand something hopefully you clear it up for me .. and that is "Are project avalanche and UEFN are unreal projects or are they unreal versions ?" i really can't get it into my head .. Thanks in advance Cheers

[@joco9958]

An easy to set up (blueprinted?) particle system that renders the same exact result each time we render, so we can rely on where specific particles are in the editor viewport, because they will also be there in the final render.

[@Oddernod]

This is going to be such a huge point of entry for motion designers that have been curious but on the fence up until now. So stoked that you're leading the conversation for the community!

[@gregoirenedelcovici6194]

Finally ! One "creative" program to rule them all ! Curious to see the business model of it.

[@frackinfamous6126]

If it’s like their game design platform it’s free until you gross 1 mil+ then percentage kicks in.

[@johnbica]

As a user of After Effects and Cinema 4D, I'm very excited to be able to replace those two with just one focused on motion design with real-time rendering. It's ridiculous that Adobe only implements 3D in AE now after 20 years on the market and still delivers so little that Element 3D, even without an update in over 10 years, manages to be better. And Maxon, which is still sleeping on real-time rendering. It could have advanced with Redshift RT, delivering quality real-time rendering without having to leave C4D, but RT seems to be stuck in time without significant updates. So congratulations Epic Games, you're going to change the motion design game and I'm going to be a part of it.

[@neoqueto]

Imagine C4D with an EEVEE equivalent, with RTX (DXR - it already uses DirectX), with simple to use 2D motion design capabilities, with layers (better motion clips)... Because while it's cool that Avalanche has easy to use mograph tools, that's still a small percentage of what C4D can do. And I mean you can make an entire AAA game in UE5, so I bet with some C++ knowledge or some cash you can have much, MUCH more than just a couple effectors. I am not even going to bother explaining all the ways in which AE sucks. You know that, I know that, everyone knows that. Both Maxon and Adobe need some competition to kick them in the NUTS.

[@LoganPinney]

Never been a better time to learn Ue, need a better reason!?! Nice one Winbush, so happy you are helping give input on the design on this tool! No one better to showcase new workflows!!

[@JonathanWinbush]

🙏🏿

[@theloniuspoon]

dude in 5 years man, unreal is gonna make quite a few programs obsolete or make them look like clowns. unreals development team is the most fierce development ive seen ever in the 3d space. they are putting out new versions every six months, they are charging us nothing to use it. they got out of the box solutions. this stuff is insane

[@pshethia01]

And adobe will do nothing in 5 years...right?

[@william_chidube]

@@pshethia01 What?

[@sazemard72260]

In 5 years AI will have remplaced Unreal, all 3d softwares and you !

[@JonathanWinbush]

They barely the past 5 years with no competition they've been doing the bare minimum

[@badxstudio]

What a great coverage!! Thank you brother

[@JonathanWinbush]

Yea buddy you guys are going to have a blast with it! 🤙🏿

[@estate0007]

Yeah, wanna see your take on it, you crazy guys!

[@Billary]

omg I'm just hearing about this for the first time & I'm so excited to use it! I'm addicted to the instant render times of UE and I always hate jumping over to AE.

[@JonathanWinbush]

Yea man this has been in the works for a few years now so I can't wait until its out in the general public! 🤙🏿

[@PanewsONE]

Not an unreal user yet but as a motion designer, this is really making me consider giving it a shot. The cloners feature as well as the 2D/3D mix looks pretty powerful, especially because it's all real time!

[@sangot]

This is insane, as a Tv Graphics engineer i am really interested on using unreal engine as a replacement for Vizrt since it has a more permissive license and 3d performance is just plain better.

[@kennetherhabor5543]

I am most excited about what will be created by the community when this tool is launched. The community is always what makes any program/software shine. So looking forward to this.

[@friedpixels]

Thanks for giving that quick overview and breakdown! Sometimes there's too much new stuff coming out to keep up, nice to get the low down!

[@JonathanWinbush]

Absolutely 🤙🏿

[@JakeInMotion]

Wow, this is the definition of a game changer. Gonna have to dive back into UE5!

[@JonathanWinbush]

Will be great to have ya back 😁

[@jfrii]

REALLY promising. About time someone actually pushed adobe. I am very curious to see where this goes.

[@choiceillusion]

Please take down the redicilous 30 year monopoly on PDFs. Let's make an open format f adobe for milking our personal documents for decades

[@diaopuesto7082]

The geometry set is mindblowing, I NEED IT!!!!🎉

[@ahmedshakib3883]

I remember a time when we all had to learn vray and test renders , perfect render settings , praying to god that no flickering happens , seems like those days are long gone.

[@JonathanWinbush]

Yea buddy I've been doing this since the early 2000s I'm definitely right there with you lol I feel old but I remember when it was all only CPU rendering

[@vanishingvestige]

It almost feels strange to me that I saw all of this within UE haha, but its interesting! Thanks for the info Winbush!

[@JonathanWinbush]

It's definitely pretty wild but I'm glad they are taking it there 🤙🏿

[@KevinMerinoCreations]

Great overview of the product! Definitely shows off some of the powerful features! 👏👏👏🤙

Thank you! 🤙🏿

[@MrSoquet]

Thanks for the preview Winbush. I’m sold. Can’t wait for it to come out.

Swiiiiish!!!!! Thanks for the sneak peek... It looks wicked 🤩🥳🤙

[@JonathanWinbush]

You bet! 🤙🏿

[@ORTyOW]

what a good time to be alive, this is golden

[@renebrokop]

Very exciting stuff. What I hope the Avalanche team will be working on, is the "low practicality" of the timeline. Like easy shortcut Zoom in and out of the timeline, ripple, cut the start and beginning of a layer easy with shortcuts, etc. Thank you for keeping us up to date Winbush.

[@JonathanWinbush]

The timeline is definitely a topic of focus for them but all suggestions like this are great I'll ping the message over

[@MrMeeezo]

This is just amazing !! I've been waiting for ages for such a feature to come to Unreal so that I won't need to keep changing software while doing motion graphics! A feature that I would love to be added to Project Avalanche is the Fracture function, where we can do something like the Transform effect for the parts of any mesh we have, such a feature will be a huuuge addition to the toolset, keep up the good work guys, can't wait to put my hands on it!!

[@JonathanWinbush]

That's a good one I'll let the team know!

[@JoshWMedia]

this is a game changer! i used to do alot of c4d text render out and composite them into different things for banners and such and to be able to do this all in unreal will be epic

[@micbab-vg2mu]

I waited a long time for this project - thank you for the update:)

[@JonathanWinbush]

Yea it's been years but glad its almost finally here for everyone!

[@btn237]

I’m glad they seem to be taking time to make it right. A lot of software gets rushed out, such as for example the iPad versions of Adobe products which have been missing some basic stuff.

[@billB101]

To be honest, as an educator, Maxon have been messing me around so much with my educational licence that I'll be glad to get rid of C4D and shift completely to UE5. I mean, this just looks amazing as a replacement, so powerful. The fact that this is all real time too. Bonkers. Can't wait to start experimenting with it.

[@JonathanWinbush]

Oh did they not get that all fixed up is it still a mess?

[@billB101]

@@JonathanWinbush Long story Jonathan. They did fix it but then they started to disable tutor accounts ( seen a few on reddit like mine ) saying there was discrepancies with student status ( I'm not a student, I teach this stuff to live gig production students. ) I sent them everything they asked for for the UNI I work at and they still wouldn't budge. They were talking to me like I was trying to rip them off for a licence, even saying they were passing this up to their legal department. I mean, really!? I've put so many students onto C4D over the years too. So to be honest, I'm just not going to teach C4D to my students any more, I'll teach them UE5 instead ( it's going that way anyway. ) UE have a superb educational model too. Seems like Maxon really don't want people to learn their software, not my issues any more. ;)

[@pshethia01]

So UE will be a combination of C4D + AE and combining that with Blender.. 🤩😍

[@GetPianoLessons]

Thanks for your UE5 tutorials. I just got my first RTX-4090 laptop and I'm getting ready to start your beginner Unreal Engine course.🤗 btw, *what is that hand gesture* you do @ the end? It kind'a looks like a tea cup, lol

[@carlosrivadulla8903]

What laptop did u get?

[@JonathanWinbush]

Lol it's the shaka, I visit Hawaii alot its a friendly gesture everyone uses to say hello and bye 🤙🏿

[@HuseenMurad]

Wow, this is amazing. Thank you for this clarification. This topic was about plugins before and I was working on it, but now it has become something amazing

[@JonathanWinbush]

It's all integrated now but hopefully plugin devs make amazing plugins for it like they do for after effects

[@HuseenMurad]

For me, the real power of these tools is working with zero density@@JonathanWinbush

BRO that is sooo dope!!!! Great job on the work you did! I am soo hype! I willl be watching closely! Thank You!

[@JonathanWinbush]

Appreciate it man thank you 🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@rifz42]

When is it coming? Are they also working on a ChatGPT help system with all the documentation, forums, training video transcripts etc.. that would help so much!

[@JonathanWinbush]

I'm not really sure about the ChatGPT side of it I think I saw people using it to create blueprints but as for when is it coming all I can say is sooner than later 🤙🏿

[@nourghafarji]

this is very cool!! hope they add sculpting tool since it already can handle large scenes with ease

[@JonathanWinbush]

I feel like they've been slowly working on adding modeling tools these past few releases for sure

[@WinstonEdgoose]

This is fantastic, would you be able to have track mattes like in After Effects. I did try my hand at UE using your tutorials but I was never comfortable with the UI, this is exactly what we need to take advantage of Unreal engine. Well done to the people behind this.

[@JonathanWinbush]

I can't speak on whats not in the video yet but I can say the open beta will be available soon then I can speak more on it!

[@lukout]

what up what up! awesome video, I am super excited to get into the whole Avalanche! thanks for the update!

[@JonathanWinbush]

And thank you for watching! 🤙🏾

[@bazibada]

Thanks for showing the tool to us ! That layer system is so nice. And for now UE was very bad at handling 2D, this could change so many things ! Hopefully they will keep it simple as for now Unreal is sometimes too much to make like a simple 10s loop (long to load, shader baking, etc...)

[@arikanidjar]

wow!!!!! unreal is becoming the all in one media app for every discipline and evolving so fast. I have so much respect for their business model which i feel is the main reason why it evolves so much faster than apps that use subscription based business models. The quick dollar flow is purely for prophet and not a community based system.

[@rekad8181]

I'm so happy, gimp/krita and inkscape, along with blender and unreal, and we Finally have tools that are better and will soon become industry standard! I'm tired of low Res renders, crashes, and spending $50 a month on a monopoly that don't care or listen to us.

You aren't the only one 🤙🏿

Next level!! Like Unreal on nitrous!!!!

[@NyoraiFidesTV]

well well....absolutely great! been following that on UE fest too! I hope we are going to see an in depth video course (maybe on school of motion or whatever😏) made by the sole and only Winbush at some point 🙏🙏🙏🤩

[@JonathanWinbush]

I'm still hoping to make the official " Your first hour in Avalanche " when it officially launches so but Epic Games about it to let them know! 🤙🏿

It's not there yet but thats a good suggestion I'll bring up as it's always being updated

[@Max01912]

​thanks :)

[@tomisenveter]

Thank you for the heads-up Winbush! Whatup, whatup! I've been messing around in Unreal since the first announcement of Project Avalanche, and I have to say tour videos/tutorials were of great help! Thank you for that! Regarding what I'd like to see developed in this are the usual animation suspects, like moveable/keyframable anchor points, parenting, some kind of precomping, and keyframable "hand-made" deformations of geometry/shapes/elements. Something to make squash and stretch possible. Also, video support, and at least After Effects level of audio editing/tools. I'm blown away by UEs capabilities, but have issue with using blueprint/programming for any kind of work that and DCC package has by default. I have a problem with learning programming logic, even blueprint makes no sense to me :-) Oh, and keyframable opacity! That is a big one 🙂 Anyway, thank you for everything you do for the community! Looking forward to next videos!

[@JonathanWinbush]

Yup Im not much of a programmer either just really simple stuff but the guy heading the development is a former c4d motion artist himself so he gets it 100%

[@KryyssTV]

Given how there's been utterly no word on UEFN getting better UI tools despite how important these are to every type of game, there's a few things in this demo which suggests Avalance will come to both UE5 and UEFN quite soon. The Fortnite assets alone are one clue but we also know there's a big collab between Fortnite and Lego that's been in development all year and right there in that demo are some examples of Lego motion graphics.

My mind is freaking blown. This is AMAZING! I cannot wait to get access to this and play around. I hope there's a way to apply coding to the animations, like you can in AE with Expressions. The blueprint system would be perfect for that. I use a ton of little expressions to automate my animations and build modular systems in AE. If we could have something like that in this, then I could finally leave AE in the dust.
