[@HyraxGames]

This is actually a incredibly big deal!

[@pshethia01]

This is unreal😅

[@HyraxGames]

Why Unreal Engine 5.4 is a BIIIIIG DEAAALL!!!!!! Cannot wait for that video :D@@pshethia01

[@gonglory3807]

Amazing!! We want Ozone for BLENDER PLEASE!!

[@alirezarezaei2976]

At 6:40 Man my jaw just dropped at the moment when he activated the wireframe and I saw the polygones density This is madness THIS IS UNREALLLLLL

[@Drakuba]

real madness comes when Nanite starts supporting skeletal meshes as well

[@JumboTTV]

Ooo looking forward to this!

[@SegaMegaLoh]

We need more videos and information about this. Like how I can use this tool/plugin as Modo user for example? I need to install something for Modo and Unreal, buy it somewhere? Anyway, great tool and presentation. upd: qr code in end of the video._.

[@maxrose8845]

The amount of insane tools coming out recently is causing me anxiety.

[@yodabunny3292]

I actually watched the whole ad without realizing. Very cool 👍

[@KeelanJon]

wowza, realtime subdiv in engine, mind blown!

[@MetalGearMk3]

Epic Games should just buy this company and implement it into UE5.

[@TatermanNG]

This is BIG!

[@computron5824]

This is really incredible. When will Ozone be available to try in Maya for the general public?

[@richardhurrey740]

GA is planned for Q1 next year, but we plan to expand out Alpha and Beta rollout to people over the next few months. If you are interested, scant the QR code at the end of the video and sign up for our public beta.

[@computron5824]

@@richardhurrey740 Great. Looking forward to trying it out.

[@larrygj4764]

Stunning and revolutionary in its potential. A paradigm shift. Can’t wait to see if this technology can work without having to own a Maya license. Looks like one can build completely in UE.

[@erickendoka2953]

Ozone for Blender please 🙏

[@richardhurrey740]

It is on our roadmap... we want to support all rigging TDs everwhere.

[@iPEMiC.]

Nice presentation❤

[@jimmwagner]

Looks like a great tool however as a 3DS Max user it's a bummer that there is no support for that, or at least yet?

[@richardhurrey740]

In time we intend to support all the major DCCs... we are focusing now on where the greatest need is (Maya / Unreal) but we want to support rigging TDs everwhere.

[@binyaminbass]

Does "all the major DCCs" include Blender? @@richardhurrey740

[@AArmstrongC]

This is bananas Great feature!

[@KoteyAnnan]

This is incredible

[@scarabrae]

Thought I recognised that voice. Impressive work!

[@JWPanimation]

Apex + Ozone = future of animation

[@genkijin]

So happy to see that I’m not the only one who’s head just blew up four months ago 🤯 I’m glad I’m late because I won’t have to wait as long as you poor souls who saw this debut 😅

[@jaredgreen2363]

Ozone for blender?

[@HemiSyncGaming]

What are the specs on the system running this?

[@redaizo]

I don't quite get the message during the entire presentation you can build and rig from any programe then animate in any programe but then at the end he says previously you'd **have** to use MODO then export to maya then export with ozone, not following that logic. Maybe i mis understood

[@wahyusidori]

Amazing..

[@chalky3d]

Will it only works if I make the rig with the tools of Maya?? What about Blender??

[@alan112223]

Same question

[@rossdanielart]

Now you have my attention.

[@BabyGreedTheHedgehog_MegaLifeF]

Cool

[@blacklikethesun]

Lol everyone talking about blender. You know we dont get anything until later

[@fx_node]

Will we ever see a price on the web site?

[@hollyaveent]

same thing I was looking for

[@laffmonkeystudio2121]

Can We get a blener version😅

[@jasonsmith530]

End of war Oscar nominated animated short film in the 2024 Oscars

[@Rizwan-Ashraf]

Daymmmmmmmmmmmm

[@ZMihran]

This is really cool! But since the Ryzen 5995wx it has a 64 core and is, to put it mildly, not cheap, is not affordable for everyone :) I would like to test it and understand how OZONE will work on ordinary computers with 8 - 16 cores? Will there be real time?

[@blacklord3212]

i am pretty sure they will optimize it , since almost 80% of indie developers are using normal normal 16-24 cores CPUs

[@xxTacolord]

Bro… so I guess rigging limitations are out of the window now? Incredible. Gotta learn ue5 rigging now

[@pshethia01]

For Blender ?

[@mrsselftaught]

Can someone from unreal engine make a tutorial, clear tutorial on how to animate metahumans with live link? There’s no clear info out there

[@NicoleSummer8]

👍💪👏😄

[@donta42]

This work with Blender?

[@USBEN.]

Blender is what matters.

[@tonirak241]

Not for professionnals 😂

[@pshethia01]

​@@tonirak241 it will.. soon!

[@SegaMegaLoh]

@@pshethia01 I've been hearing this since 2020

[@moonstrobe]

@@tonirak241Plenty of pros use it.

[@binyaminbass]

It also matters from a financial perspective since it's user base is in the tens of millions.

[@samuelenslin1850]

Man...are you sure you can´t just bring runtime SubD into Unreal for ANY fbx skeletal mesh, so its independent of the maya rig tool? 3ds max user here and I´ve just spend 2 weeks converting lowpoly skinned characters into hipoly skinned characters for use in Unreal...

[@edtzthomaz]

Alguém sabe se o Renato 38oitão vai pintar ai

[@pokefrosch617]

Stop spamming the ads with this!

[@maidung1825]

So i don't have to rig to make a film ?

[@RoboThePanda]

yes you do. ozone works on top of the rig to convert the geometry animation data into one node which becomes easier to transfer, load, and use, while exposing your existing rig controls in unreal as sliders to manipulate in engine. from what i understand

[@LordLuigi_Rigs]

Good stuff

[@carlosrivadulla8903]

what about new houdini APEX?

[@maxrose8845]

Whether you use Maya, Blender, or Houdini, be excited that this technology exists. It will be rolled out to other tools eventually.

[@markgabbidon5859]

Does this work in blender?

[@medhue]

What about Blender!!!!!!

[@MelbourneArchviz]

her head seems to be stuck on a baby's body. something off with the proportions.

[@i.sebastian.c6563]

Maya technology looks so old. Lazy developing and very expensive, definitely I will use Unreal for animation instead.

[@johnvanmeter6719]

THIS CRAP SHOWS UP. WTF IS A 20 MINUTE AD. UNREAL ENGINE MAKES HAIR FALL OUT!!!

[@kabargin]

No one cares about maya 🤮

[@computron5824]

Maya is the most widely used animation package in the industry. He said that the goal is to support other packages with time.

[@24yrukdesigner]

Very Wrong! In the professional industry Maya is the only software used in all things video game and movies still. :) Don't assume.

[@dandaniel445]

Making brown characters is a waste

[@tldmbruno]

Care to elaborate?

[@ragingraijin]
