Virtual Production Project Tutorial from scratch with Unreal Engine and RETracker Bliss!

This tutorial starts from scratch and builds a project that replicates my "Neo's apartment from the Matrix" demo. I'm using Unreal Engine 5 and the new RETracker Bliss as my camera tracker. This setup will work with other camera trackers or no camera tracking at all if you want. To buy RETracker Bliss visit https://www.retracker.co/ With Unreal Engine 5 the whole process takes about an hour, once you have some experience you can do it even quicker! Use the table of contents below to skip around. If you have an old graphics card that does not support Lumen and Nanite on UE5, this project will still work, just don't enable them in the project settings. 00:00 Intro, what we will be doing 00:26 RETracker Bliss offer and disclosure 01:21 Getting Started using Film & Video Template 02:10 Add plugins to the project 03:00 Enable important plugins 04:03 Set project settings 05:30 Build a basic scene 08:35 Center Stage, install ARUCO assets, mark center stage 10:57 Hookup your camera 14:17 Setup Composure Composite 15:35 Add a camera 17:00 Finish building composite 21:44 Setup chroma key 22:57 Camera Calibration Introduction 24:23 Setup FIZ blueprint for calibration 28:20 Adding a LiveLink tracker 31:19 Connect LiveLink to our CineCamera Actor 33:00 Print calibration board and Aruco 35:16 Create calibration board actor in Unreal 36:40 Create and setup Lens File 40:45 Setup Lens FIZ curves 42:26 Shoot calibration images 45:00 Checking Calibration Results 47:30 If you need to do calibration again 47:47 Add tracker offset (nodal point) 49:15 Set Worldpose 50:45 Preview the final composite 51:20 Removing the "bulls-eyes" on the screen 51:45 Clean up the chromakey (green screen) 53:24 View the Final Composite 53:40 Set tracking delay 55:28 Timed Data Monitor 56:32 Importing the Neo's apartment set 58:37 Workaround for a bug in Unreal 5.0.3 1:01:10 Setup cg_element to render the set 1:02:05 Set worldpose for this set 1:03:49 Checkout the final result 1:04:15 Tuning the lighting and layout for your studio 1:04:38 RETracker Bliss Discount Offer 1:06:44 Tutorial Summary So Much Faster! 1:07:15 Support the channel, Like and Subscribe FREE Software you need Unreal Engine https://www.unrealengine.com/ Resources for Unreal, Aruco Tag to print and calibration board to print, get it Aruco.Asset.Pack.zip from https://github.com/MiloMindbender/Liv...
