Thanks for watching :D If you learned something new, do me a favor and share this with someone learning Unreal too! ✌️

when I'm creating the environment I always wanted to make it alive not just stills :) thanks for this Josh, information like this is always a gem

[ooopsmybaddude]

Exactly what I was looking for to further my understanding of film making in UE. Thank you so much! I’ll be watching this multiple times!

Thanks for the video. I've been working as a union lamp op since 1994. Every few years there has been a tech breakthrough to make our work more interesting on the movie sets. So far were just using the volume as ambiance but we're crossing the threshold of linking our lights to the lights on the volume in the virtual world of UE. I love the fact that a new category could one day join our Union if enough young people keep doing what you are doing.

Fight the good fight Josh!

to compound on this notion, a lot of film makers misunderstand that you don't have to stop at movies, you can make ongoing simulations that persist and change over time. A real-time engine means that you're creating new frames every second, instead of playing them back. If you lean into that, a new art form emerges.
