Thank you EPICs for such detailed update and answers.
Look forward to 4.27 release!

[dynastudio]

Good to see path tracer evolve.
Thank you guys!

If we could bind the midi stuff in the editor to our own stuff as an input device for tuning stuff like values in our games, that would be a godsend for game-developers tuning gamefeel and game-balance -- eg, to bind it to a marked debug float or vector somewhere in our code that can be rapidly attached and detached without having to go through the event system.

[hillstudios]

Thank you unreal team for such an amazing engine

[benveasey]

I wish we had Datasmith for Blender with all of the awesome Visualprep abilities etc. Blender is coming on leaps and bounds for AEC modeling.

[benveasey]

A tutorial on how to set up the pixel mapping to control the color of the lights would be really helpful.

[rscrubs]

Any news on the EOS (Epic Online Services) plugin that will let us use your online services for networking traffic (to avoid firewall/port forwarding issues) ? I was told it would be in this update but didn't see anything about it in the video

[Drko]

Fog and VDB support for Path tracer would be epic ! thx guys amazing job

[Fafhrd]

37:05 Did this not actually make release? I don't see any mention of it in the release notes and I can't find any way to get that StillRenderSetupAuto window anywhere in the editor.

[ninomancuso]

Any news on the Live Link VCAM app? Still not in the app store as of this morning...

[mb.d]

It's still in preview?
Is it releasing today?

[hellohogo]

will all this be automatically ported to UE5 or will we have to wait?

[savagebeatscentral]

what java version do i need for unreal 4.27.1 cuz i keep getting the failed arg /arc error on packaging

[schoolhomevrtechnologyassi]

I'm a Pisces!.. lol Ryan is awesome...

[nigelmartin]

where can we get the sample In-Camera VFX project?

[ferlaur]

These guys are producing one of the most powerful software of the decade that flows thousands of videos in YouTube every year and they are communicating with boring slides and freeze screenshots, while reading their script! What a lack of imagination and a waste of engine power!

[saurabhtembhurne]

how to export to android in 4.27, please help i"m stuck.

[mbcburt]

Is there a good hair groom tutorial using alembic. I imported an Alembic mesh and then imported a groom asset that I wanted to attach to the Alembic mesh. So far I have not been able to get it to work properly, I’m sure I’m doing something wrong and would appreciate a tutorial. I really want to use this feature. Thank you, looking forward to this release!
