To overdeliver, I'm going to give away the entire environment to everyone who joins Unreal Fundamentals before the time expires! Otherwise, I hope you learn some new techniques to take your VFX + Films to the next level :D We cover... - How to build complex environments entirely in Unreal 5 - How to use ONE MATERIAL to texture entire cities - The secrets behind high-speed action scenes If you have time this weekend, check it out and let me know what you think! #dune #unrealengine #unrealengine5 #cinematics #ue5 #motioncapture #dune #filmmaking #filmmaker #animation #vfx #vfxbreakdown #previs #blender3d #substancepainter #gamedev #gamedevelopment #virtualproduction #behindthescenes #creativity #innovation #technology

I'm making my own Godzilla film in Unreal 5 :D Here's 2 more shots from over the weekend, using Nuke + Unreal together. We're nearly finished! If you want to learn how I'm hosting a free masterclass this Thursday. Join here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ecKPPtVr This week I learned the ins and outs of constraints and figured out a better method for creating Lighting Passes where you SEE your result before you press render! It's by making new Subsequences that hide objects and levels. I'll make a video about this soon enough because I finally found a few shortcuts to make this a lot faster and with fewer headaches. #vfx #vfxbreakdown #unrealengine #unrealengine5 #ue5 #ue4 #filmmaking #virtualproduction #animation #cinematics #motioncapture #innovation #creativity #marketing

This character rigging is magnificent

How I created Dune in Unreal 5 👉 www.unrealforvfx.com/dune I challenged myself to create Dune in ONE DAY. These are the results!  Want to learn how to do the same thing? I'm going LIVE this Thursday to teach you how! You'll learn... - Use ONE MATERIAL to texture every asset - Model an entire city without leaving Unreal 5 - Create your own sci-fi epics the easy way I'm sharing EVERYTHING I learned this Thursday, Feb 22nd at 8pm EST. Sign up to reserve your spot! (we're only sending out the recordings to those who register) As an added challenge, I only used techniques taught in Unreal Fundamentals. That means everything you're seeing was created from scratch in Vanilla Unreal 5.2. If you're serious about learning Filmmaking in Unreal...

With just three dedicated team members— Marceli Kryk, Filip Siemiginowski, and myself directing—we're incredibly proud and really.. surprised by the outstanding results achieved by our small team of two CG artists! A special shoutout to Marceli, the Lead Cinematic Artist, who also designed the sound for this particular edit that i did.

There are no shortcuts to doing great work and achieving mastery. Regardless of what tool or method you use to express your creativity and storytelling, you need polish and precise articulation, which is only achieved with an unforgiving and relentless commitment to course correction and pushing boundaries. Unreal Engine is readily available to learn and utilize as a tool to express your creative visions, but making something worthy of genuinely capturing the audience's imagination and respect is a feat. Here, Pawel Jermak has created one such masterpiece to inspire us to work tirelessly on improving our craft and distilling our ideas down to their most potent essence in whatever we communicate with the tools and processes we have at our disposal. Don't wait for permission to tell your stories, pick up a tool, master it, and liberate your ideas so they may live in the world and move minds, hearts, and emotions to shape a better tomorrow. #storytelling #art #artistic #creative #expression #mastery #precision #human #genius #brilliance #effort #hardwork #commitment #resilience #polish #essence #clarity #articulate #exact #precise #selective #delicate #unrealengine Epic Games #motorracing #cars #automobile #cinematography #digital #virtual #rendering #lighting #lookdev
