Very cool solution to model actual lenses. But I got to be honest this kind of thing niggles me. I dont think its a problem that needed to be solved. Engineers went to great efforts to produce technologies like unreal engine that are free of things like lens aberrations, only for you to put it all back. They are undesirable and were always thought of as undesirable. I prefer the "perfect" images not arty imagery with distracting aberrations. This is the same things as when photographers shoot on a digital camera that engineers shortened their lives to make capture the image in the most perfect way free of film artifacts, only for someone to click a filter in post and put it all back. Have some respect for the progress made. The "perfect" imagery looked better than the lensed version, and its what the folks who used real cameras would have liked to have achieved if they could have. Capture perfectly the imperfections in real things rather than adding your own that dont need to be there, and remember the struggles that came before.

I remember when film people talked like this about digital. They were wrong. Digital wasn’t boring or ugly; they were nostalgic. The goal of the camera was to provide to your eyeballs something real, not something messed up

can you make one detailed video how to composite green screen in Unreal engine environment so that we do not have to color grade

bought them and they look amazing! Although I'm using an HDRIBackdrop and for some reason it makes it seem as if that object is disabled when the lens is active. If I hide the lens or all 3 glasses in the details pane, then the sky comes back along with my skylight. Really weird behavior. Wondering if you know why this is happening? as it's probably something to do with the post process fx or materials or something when using the lenses. My 1st thought was translucency, but didn't see anything that affected anything

No need to pay you can do the is in your local pc Stable diffusion and comfyUI

What is the soft box watts ?

Jesus just thinking of that coding hurts my head, granted I HATE materials and adding post pros in game dev stuff.

Why not disable WPO in the material depending on the player's camera?

now i need to see a short film in ue5 with default perfect camera with just motion blur

A solution looking for a problem..

so coo! thank you :)

Wow. Amazing

where do I get autoshot?

You are a madmad... have my upvote

With the stutter consider the venue? Signal noise let alone a cell phone signal is almost a no go. I would not put it past other vendors to put in signal boosters that could interfere either.

So you take a perfect image and f it up? I'm guessing you're in the 24 fps only camp as well. I'll never understand that mentality. Clearer is better. "I get a brand new tool that produces super clear images, so the first thing I do is smear Vaseline on the lens so it looks as bad as the old one."

Just started following you 6 months ago and I'm very impressed with all your work.

This doesn't look realistic at all.

Relight video are available in Davinci Resolve and Capcut PC

This is so amazing! I have been trying to recreate a lense on Adobe Substance to some degree i made it work but it was not perfect. This takes it to another level. It's so bizarre and unbelievable to know that a lens has been virtually created and has working functions just like in real life. Awesome job!

I can’t even watch this shit cuz I’m so jealous there’s people out there wielding this kind of power and I am terrified to dive into it after trying to learn Blender and sorta failing at it

I just bought the pack! What setting in the blueprints or component of the lenses make them specifically compatible with 16:9? Can we adjust something to our liking so they work with other filmbacks?

thank you very much

Making shots and scenes in Unreal Engine 5 is just so fun and creative. It's probably the best film making tool invented since the film camera was invented. Why I say that is it allows you to build and design worlds and animation but also to film your world at photoreal detail. Then you can change the scene, lighting, camera or actor placement in realtime ! which is totally amazing.

I could not get the images to look anything other than extremely soft. Is it possible to get something where the subject is as sharp as it is with a real cinema lens. That’s how I’d want the eyes to look.

What is your render time with them vs without? Most people would render plates and cryptomates to take care the real camera lens looks in post what would be the real benefit?

The green channel of the normal map is flipped, how can I flip it inside unreal?

Why am I crying

Woohoo, thanks for the shout out! Keep it up Josh, you are awesome. I love these lenses.

This is kind of neat. But you are just showing this with diffuse materials. Since you did say you added an "actual lens", I am guessing you added a 3D modeled lens with a translucent material. I have been using Unreal 4 for a while to make renders and shaders, and one thing it kind of struggles with is translucent materials through translucent materials. They either don't render at all (depending on your settings), or end up being very noisy which means they increase render times exponentially the more you stack together. It also struggles with reflections of said translucent materials in smooth surfaces. I don't know if they fixed it in Unreal 5, since I haven't tried it yet. But it would be a thing to consider when using this method. I think the best option would be to add these effects INSIDE the render code (maybe a cinema camera plugin) rather than using a physical object. Since a lot of these effects could be effectively faked with screen space filters. And would result in faster and cleaner (I mean free from path tracing noise) renders with less problems.

Thank you so much

I love this. It may not be efficient for workflow, but it takes the finickyness and mysticism out of how to get from point a to point b When you're searching for a look and you don't know how to get there, and you don't have real life vintage camera's and lenses to use for reference. You also get an incredible result in a way that moves several layers of abstraction. This is such a great tool, even if it's just used for learning, or a keyframe diagnostic/reference when you send renders down the pipeline.

I haven't really relied too much on Path Tracer tbh, lumen has been more than enough even for cinematics, I just cover anything else in the composite stage

Can you please point me to the right direction .. i want to start learning UE5 from scratch , what courses should i begin with ? until my journey ends where You are now in Virtual filmmaking !!

Brilliant as always 👌your acting skills are great , but the narration needs more work .. i know it was hard coz of the time limit .. but overall 9/10 😎

you are a genius 👌😊 its like a showcase of what UE can do .. i am inspired to begin learning as you did !! thnxx again

The first question is pretty ignorant of what unreal actually has to offer. Blender simply cant do what unreal does with a nearly 1 to 1 switch from lumen to path tracer. Obviously there are going to be some differences (need to boost global GI slightly for instance) but you simply CAN'T lookdev in Eevee and then switch over to cycles without a dramatic change in your scene. Path tracer just brings unreals offline render to parity with any other DCC and the real time lookdev just makes me want to use it as a default.

Very interesting, well done, I have no idea what an anomorphic lens is but sounds like fun.

Cool and good work I guess. But I have to wonder when camera's will start using algorithms to undo these types of distortions so we can take pictures of reality. There's definitely an element of 'snootiness' when people get too invested in how 'bad' something looks as being a feature. That's true the other way too with people wanting 16K 240fps content on their living room TV. Will we see a future where a TV remote has a button to turn on/off lens artifacting?

Can't believe people actually misunderstood this. UE5 is obviously used in many industries nowadays, not just GameDev. People use it for film with video walls and even motion graphics.

Unreal engine really sucks in camera tracking workflow for real vfx work

Wait, Path Tracing and Ray Tracing different thing? 🗿

I've been pouring over studying virtual production for a couple years now, this type of tool gives a great amount of visual flavor that can be added so thank you for the experiments and information!

Like playing fake engine noise in a car so it feels powerful (a real thing car makers do)

This is super niche, but you should check out NVIDIA's Caustics Branch of UE5.2. That branch was made to test out simulating physically based realtime glass/water caustics and the associated refraction/dispersion that come along with that. It has a specific feature for RayTraced Depth-of-Field that looks insanely better than the native DoF. It's not perfect, and the entire NVRTX branch doesnt seem to be a high priority for NVIDIA right now, but if you look at some of the examples on UA-cam you'll see why it's worth jumping through so many hoops. I've downloaded your free lens and I'm going to attempt to migrate it to a 5.2 project and see how well it works. I've experimented with placing raw glass lens shapes in front of the camera in previous NVRTX Caustics projects with some really cool results, so I've been dying to try a more sophisticated setup like this.

Thanks for the follow up video.
