Unreal Compers?

Are there any Unreal Compositors around? Is that a thing?

The guy who taught me flame has moved into Unreal work. Not sure if he’s on this forum. Jon Baxter @ Perceptual Engineering

I mean… for live/VP stuff or using the actual UE comp tools?

Ive tried the latter but its was so utterly absolute garbage that we just did it in nuke

I’ve done a bit but all in Nuke. I’ve found the AOVs out of UE are basically useless so it’s like comping CG circa 2005.

My understanding from some who have used it is that it’s a very beautiful gimmick, but not much use in professional needs. So I doubt there will be many UR compositors on that level.

This was done using Unreal, flame and a bit of nuke. I think we pushed Unreal pretty hard.

That’s cool - what was done in Unreal? Was it the racecars?

Shot in December 21 in Kyiv. Freezing cold. Russell Tickner and Barnes did lead the project.

Racing scenes, some track etc - check this out

this was my last UE project also UE-> Nuke,

Yea AOVs are mostly useless, even just trying to get a depth map out and rendering multiple layers is … not that easy. :grin:
