You're literally the only person I have seen make an UE5 video that actually shows you how to somewhat deal with glass. I'm smashing the sub button on all my channels.

Very nice explained and presented Sir ! Could you maybe also do a video where u can show how to make a UI client interface where the client can change materials /colors, open doors, switch lights on /off or switch the time of day to evening and so on ?

Hello! When I import file from 3dsmax to ue5, every is ok, until I make a sequencer, the model from 3ds max didn't show on the scene .Do you know how to fix it, thank you?

[@RedzwanulHuq]

If you are using multiple levels, check if all levels are set to ''always visible''

[@English.Storybook]

How were you able to get the trees I tried using city park content folder but the trees were not texturing when i place them in my scene i used ue5

[@bluetrianglestudios1741]

nice dude! thanks for the share

[@dasnico13]

do we still need to add a reflection sphere even with lumen???

[@inibaruseru4050]

is it lumen reflection as good as raytrace reflection ? how to get better lumen reflection of window glass material as good as raytrace reflection?

[@dasnico13]

@@inibaruseru4050 i think we have to wait for the official release of ue 5

[@luigiascione9810]

Great tutorial thanks. Could you do one to shos how to render a still image from ue5 please?

[@joshuagatlin3931]

I have it imported but now all the textures/collisions are gone. any fixes?

[@blacklord3212]

should I reduce lightmap density for example from 64 to 32 or 16 ? does that improve performance even with lumen ?

[@chinkitgaming]

thanks for the great tutorial

[@jagoulleminouche6905]

Realy great tuto, thank you for your time. But datasmith for UE 5 is not available to download. Do you where it can be downloaded ?

[@atNguyen-hs4lx]

[@TVSynergyProperty]

nice video tutorial thank you

[@ramdpshah]

very useful tutorial..

[@mohamedart1]

Thanks a lot

[@benjieesquilla3842]

nice tutorial.. can this process also work with corona in stead of vray?

[@Fikarblackproject]

how import with the material? my material and texture doesnt show up

[@footclanassociate]

Is the 3dsmax scene set up with vray? Meaning materials are from vray or are the standard materials?

[@archvizninja5823]

Yes, vray materials

[@alfredrenle5635]

So good！

[@niko-nc9xb]

thanks!man

[@dalienware668]

Make sure there's no flat planes?

[@archvizninja5823]

One sided polygons

[@danielcapelosantacruz6862]

Hi. Did you use vray matirials in ue4? And the lights as well?

[@archvizninja5823]

Yes, everything was transferred directly, including materials and lights. Obviously for a production scene, one would need to clean up and modify both to be more efficient

[@vasundharakanwar578]

Everything should be unwrapped in 3ds max before importing in unreal?

[@archvizninja5823]

For a proper job, it would be ideal to unwrap everything in 3ds by hand. However, if a quick result is desired, Datasmith's automatic unwrapping works fairly well.

UE 4 look clearer more than
UE 5 look blur
