In Class Work:
This week we opened a sample project so we could use existing assets to learn about sequencers in UE5.
Sequencers are essentially timelines, and are a key aspect of making a film in UE5. It’s best to have different sequencers for different types of assets, and then a master sequencer from which the film will be rendered out from.
We also looked into cameras, and how we can use prexitising settings to replicate different brands/models of physical cameras.
Project Progression:
I found a rig I would love to use for my project (the Zio rig by Hernan Ares), but despite many of the creators social media pages saying it was available to download, I couldn’t find a page to actually download it. I contact the creator via email in hopes he might be able to provide a link to a purchase/download page or even provide direct access to the rig for a fee. In the meantime, I can focus on making a rough storyboard and looking for alternative rigs to use.
Serra also was able to find the city subway train project from the Unreal Marketplace again and its actually on sale for free at the moment, so I was able to add that to my vault for future use. I’m also planning on exporting the model to use in the previs. Serra also sent me a link to some documentation on 2D Materials in UE5, which I will be referring to when I start experimenting with materials myself.
