    One more with textures all from The Pixel Labs Corona texture pack.

    Trying the new DECAL feature in Corona - this thing is amazing. So simple to use and such a nice way to add decals or aging/distressing to objects without complicated material or UV setups. Here is the before and after.

    New texture pack for Corona from The Pixel Lab. Picked it up to support Joren - nice stuff. Everything in here is from the pack except the painting and the book.

    Igor, you forgot to add the ZEN node. 😁 Looks so cool though.

    I like the vent, but it's massive. What if it was only an inch or two wide. Keep going - get all the details and furniture in there and then you can finesse. Make large broad strokes and then refine. I think people (myself included) get too caught up in micro details without laying in the bigger picture first. Imagine you are staging the house - bring everything in and then start placing it. The whole vibe will change when you get chairs around that table.

    Been busy, but still alive.

    Thank you. Poliigon for the win on the tiles.

    Simple practice scene. Working on a cooking show set, so buying some new assets.

    I love what this thread has become!

    Thanks everyone! I love that it's already built in, but I added 7zip too, mostly for RAR unpacking. Love this community.

    Hmmm - I didn't know that Mash - I'll try it out and check out your links. Thank you both! e.

    Hello, It pains me every time I am working on my windows machines that I can't right click and just choose Compress like I can on my Macs. I have winzip and hate it and how it has infested my machine with startup spam. Any alternatives that you love? Ideally, I can right click and just zip something up before sending or uploading. Happy to pay - Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks, -Evan

    I've jumped into this last week and am loving it. I've never worked with Megascans before and it's pretty amazing stuff. Here's some screen grab from day 01: Made for Instagram - hence the weird size. More soon - just got swallowed up in client work, but back to this soon.

    I watched a bunch of these: https://www.youtube.com/c/pinkpocketTV I'll say upfront - they aren't great tutorials: but it did get me acquainted with the idea of Megascans and setting up a sky/sun system very quickly. After watching a lot of game centric tutorials and not feeling it with Unreal, this opened my eyes to the fact that with UE5 you can just dump stuff in and get it going quickly. I found it liberating. Also - this guys stuff seems pretty good in diving deeper into understanding Lumen https://www.youtube.com/c/WilliamFaucher

    Volumetrics for stage lighting - Not nearly up to Redshift standards, of course, but easy to use. Very VRAM intensive.

    So there is a full body rig already in place for metahumans that works pretty well. Clothes are part of the Metahuman creator, but I've just been playing with stock characters so far, so I don't know how extensive the options are.
  18. EAlexander
    Unclear to me at this point. Posing is the next thing for me to figure out. I think the clothing options are pretty limited, but I'm only working with a prefab character so far.

    Understood, but I thought SSS was broken in Lumen for UE5. Google shows me that was only for early access and it's fixed now. 🤷🏻

    Hi, those are all from the Forester extension pack 2, but I played with the materials and upped the translucency. Rendered with Corona.
  21. EAlexander
    No SSS on the Skin since its a game engine. Never going to be perfect, but it's pretty good for what it is. I also tossed two point lights in there, so lighting is unforgiving at this point. Started playing with the face rig.

    Playing with Metahumans inside of Unreal.

    Weirdly, it was Hans Wegner's birthday 4 days ago.

    First jump into Unreal Editor 5 and Megascans. Lots to learn and not much to show for it yet, but holy crap is this fun.

    I would also add to this good list of notes that the reflections in the metal have nothing to do with the roof surround. The tone of the roof tiles would tint and alter the look of the lower metal sides. Also check your perspective. Have you looked into shadow catchers at all or camera calibration? There are techniques for placing 3d objects into 2d images.
