That was a great tutorial, very appreciated Miwa! :)

[@OwenMcAteer]

Amazing! Thank you so much, this was really helpful!

[@jasonstelzel]

Great job!

[@user-ul1pl7ho4p]

Thank you for your tutorial, it’s really amazing. I’ve seen a lot of DMX tutorials, and I’ve also seen MA2, but I still can’t connect, and it’s too complicated. But after reading your tutorial, I can directly control it in UE, really Very convenient, because MA2 is really too complicated, I don’t understand the principle, this tutorial is the only one that I can make the lights move, thank you, thank you very much

[@miwa_maroon]

Thanks! It's the most pleasure comment I've ever received!

[@user-ul1pl7ho4p]

@@miwa_maroon This is the comment you should get, really thank you very much, it would be better if there is other software to control the rotation of DMX fixtures, easy way, thank you

[@joshuatree666]

can u do an updated one on ue5.2? it seems that even on the dmx level iit doesnt want to move when i slide the faders

[@wnsgurkeng6549]

Thankyoudaddy

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Perhaps try to use higher recording volume, your kinda whispering and even with maxed out volume, its still soft

[@miwa_maroon]

Thanks for your feedback!

[@jesustv9148]

Hello, the tutorial is very interesting, everything is fine until I get to the "library settings" +controllers window and I don't get the faders window either.

[@miwa_maroon]

Thanks! i think you dont turn on the plugin . chack the plugin window and DMX console

[@trantienanh8702]

In one project I somehow managed to see DMX lights working without having to simulate or press play. In my new project I can’t get this to work. Does anyone know how to enable this? The DMX data shows up in the activity monitor and gets used properly once I press play, but gets ignored when just looking at it in the viewport without simulating.

[@miwa_maroon]

What is your project setting of DMX?

[@AICineVerseStudios]

This is a good tutorial, lot of confusions of mine got cleared. Thank you. However, how can I add DMX functionality in another project which is not based on DMX template. I did tried enabling all DMX plugins , added DMX library , did everything as in this tutorial but when testing it , nothing is happening with DMX output console. Tried alot on searching if anyone has done DMX functionality , without using DMX template but found none. DO you have any idea how to go about it?

[@miwa_maroon]

Thanks for comment. To do that , you need to explore DMX plugins folders which is located in content folder. In terms of DMX output, check the project settings related to DMX. It might help to solve your problems even though it’s not enough. If you can’t, I’ll make another tutorial for it👍

[@AICineVerseStudios]

@miwa_maroon Thanks for your reply and hints. Actually I did everything possible to make it work. Even checked the project settings of the dmx template with the project where I enabled the plugins , yet no success.
If you have done something of this nature, then would really appreciate if you can share it as a tutorial. I'm sure there are many out there who will not be using the template but rather want to add into their own projects

[@miwa_maroon]

@@AICineVerseStudios i already tried to add the plugins I feel like there were annoying steps. I’ll make new one soon, stay tuned!

[@AICineVerseStudios]

@@miwa_maroon Awesome, will be looking forward to it

[@karakino]

I still dont understand why the laser beam is not visible if the camera doesnt directly observe the source of it (rendering image sequence through the sequencer)... Do you have any idea? I use ue 5.1...

[@miwa_maroon]

you mean it's not visible only when you render the scene?

[@SianTube]

Hi, i made exactly whay you say to link touchdesigner and ue5 but idk why that didnt work for me :/ I'm in ue5.3, do you know if something change in this version ?

[@miwa_maroon]

Thanks for watching, I made another tutorial for UE5.3, ruclips.net/video/elrufoCw3Dk/видео.htmlsi=CsCwtSzUZAQTA593 if you want to connect with TouchDesigner, this below is helpful, ruclips.net/video/zmZo1cZDbV4/видео.htmlsi=sQZL22Uo8ILlSFO3
