Unreal Engine 5.2 First Look at (Apple Silicon) for macOS. Buggy Export
This video demonstrates a few of the unwanted bugs on display within Unreal Editor 5.2 for Apple Silicon.
I downgraded from 5.3 to 5.2 to experiment with a more mature Editor …version.
Media Playback:
– Materials based on Media Textures display as black in Viewport.
– Enabling Electra Player fixes the media display issue…
– Movie Render Queue exports Media Texture Materials as Invisible.
Have you encountered any of these bugs yourself?
Do you know of solutions and fixes?

Unity3D: Creating Dynamic Atmosphere with Simulated Fog Noise Using Particle Systems!
Learn how to create the look and feel of ‘Organic Noise’ within Fog for your virtual reality experience, game, or virtual film production! This technique requires no commercial assets and …uses Unity’s Particle System.
I know nothing. Today I’m familiarizing myself with Unity Game Engine’s Terrain Tools Package. This will be a long live stream because it’s all trial and error as I talk …to myself outloud about what I am doing.
Unity ships with basic Terrain options. But today I’m diving deeper into Unity Terrain capabilities by downloading the free Terrain tools package from Unity’s Package Manager.[+] Show More

Adding Global Illumination to URP in Unity 2021.3.3f1 on macOS Monterey on an M1 MacBook Air (8gig)
Fast. Simple. Precise instructions. We’re adding realistic lighting & Real-time Global Illumination to the Unity URP (Universal Render Pipeline) Sample Scene in today’s video.
Here’s what you need to follow along:
Unity …2021.3.3f1
New Project using ‘3D Sample Scene (URP)’
Future Global illumination tutorial videos will follow as Unity releases stable releases of future versions of Unity Editor (because we all know how Unity Headquarters loves to move things around within Unity – even things that don’t need to be moved 🤣 . I think they just like to keep us on our toes – but we see you Unity HQ… we see you 😉.)[+] Show More

Visual Scripting (Bolt): How To Properly Position Characters Following A Cutscene
Unity Bolt Visual Scripting Tutorial. No need to write C# script!
Is your playable character in the wrong position & facing the wrong direction following a cutscene? Here’s how to fix …it using Bolt visual scripting inside of Unity game engine.
No need to write C# script! Fully fixed using only Bolt visual scripting.
Here’s how to make sure that your playable character spawns in the right position following the ending of a cutscene. Avoid having your player appear close by but in the wrong position and facing the wrong direction.
Know of a more efficient way? Let me know in the comments. Much of my learning is self-taught from piecing together unrelated pre-existing tutorials. I’m always looking for more expedient Unity workflows!
Help Request: How To Control URP Shader Graph Property From Bolt Visual Scripting? #Unity3D
What is the proper way to Lerp between 0 & 1 for an exposed Shader Graph property using Bolt Visual Scripting?
I have an exposed ‘Lerp’ property in my #Unity3d …URP Shader Graph. I have a “Toggle Unit” & a “Material Set Float Unit” in my Bolt Flow/Script Graph. They don’t link up properly.
