Unreal 5.8 - Add 3D Characters into Real Life WAY Easier with Masking! (Composure EP4)

Add 3D Characters into Real Life WAY Easier with Masking in Unreal Engine 5.8. In Episode 4 of my Composure series, Augmented Reality takes a huge leap forward in UE 5.8 as Composure introduces new Masking Passes. Project your actors onto simple geometry then use high quality 2D masks to create perfect edges for seamless 3D compositing! Composure in 5.8 also includes a blur and erode pass for masks as well as a streamlined Media Track ingest. In this episode I cover the entire offline pipeline for adding CGI characters into live action plates, and with camera moves too! Note - Camera Tracking and Magic Masks require DaVinci Resolve Studio (though blender has a free camera tracker and there are some Open Source AI roto options available too) Time Stamps 0:00 Introduction to new masking in Unreal Engine 5.8 1:08 Scanning our location 3:24 Film our scene 3:52 DaVinci Resolve Matchmove and flatten plate 5:02 Magic mask for tracking 6:06 Camera Tracking in DaVinci Resolve Studio. 12:07 Color space transform (linear sRGB) 16:42 Bring 3D scan into Unreal Engine 18:11 Setup lighting in Unreal 19:09 Setup Sequencer and media track 21:22 Camera match move import 25:31 Setup 3D camera projections (Composure) 30:03 Adding CGI (the Alien) 30:35 Shadow and reflection catchers 33:56 Using Magic Mask for 2D masking 42:28 Multi-colored mats in Unreal 44:11 Adding masking passes 47:04 Using the Modeling Tab (Lattice) 53:05 Blur and erode masks in Unreal 56:41 Adjusting focal distance 1:01:52 Render with Movie Render Graph Connect with me on your favorite Social Media   / deanyurke     / deanyurke     / deanyurke     / deanyurke     / deanyurke   ✉️ For additional news, tips, setups and secret stuff, join my email list here - https://deanyurke.kit.com/ 🎥 Binge Watch All My Content -    • Binge Watch All My Videos - Unreal Engine ...   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #UnrealEngine5 #VFX #virtualproduction
