I went through the character BP and clicked a box that allowed the mesh to do what it needed to. I'm not sure which one it was sorry for whoever else is stuck here.

@@loudd Have you made sure that you have connected the animation blueprint in the Character blueprint 0:33 ?

Pixel streaming

When he makes the connection in Blueprint, smack the space bar to pause and set your blueprint to match. Same with the settings in details. That's what I have to do for these videos.

I am glad you liked it! Thank you for supporting me!

There is opacity parameter for the wings in the character material that you need to switch to 1

@@unrealfreedom1807 please tell me the name of the file, ive been looking for this parameter almost 2 weeks(

@@brianmj123 M_WingWebbing_HolyAndEvil2 the parameter is called WingAlpha

Open the character and in the materials slot just look for the wing materials and open them and put the wing alpha to 1 to make them evil or holy you need to change the other parameters for holy and evil.

I am glad you are learning from it. Yea you can learn more about lighting in another video!

Thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it! I am currently trying to balance too much talking and being straight to the point. In my other videos, I talk way too much but maybe this is a bit too little talking :D I will try to find the balance!

@@unrealfreedom1807 And ofcourse if you ever went as far as to make a Discord server for your own TH-cam Community it would provide the most feedback and more growth and engagement from those people as well... or I would think so atleast. Mostly just saying this because I would be interested in a Discord server of yours if you had one ;D

I created a discord server but I don't use discord so much so I am a bit of a newbie there. For now, it has very few channels. Here is the link discord.gg/66ZRzTab I will try to promote it more from now on! I am thinking of a twitch because I do a lot of stuff offscreen and don't upload videos about it so it may be interesting for people who want to see more.

I think the level is from Landscape Pro 2.0 Auto-Generated Material in the unreal marketplace and I just added the crystals and changed the lighting. For the crystals, you can either watch my tutorial th-cam.com/video/bdt8MOq493Y/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=UnrealFreedom or watch this one th-cam.com/video/VSRArdFdVMY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=1MaFX

@@unrealfreedom1807 Thank you good sir!! 👍

Thank you! I am planning to expand more on VFX and Houdini in general!

You can do a lot of things without VEX, and there are a lot of things you can apply without VEX however if you want to unleash the full potential of Houdini you need to learn VEX indeed. And at this point you have to ask yourself, are you gonna constraint yourself to the word "Artist" and the meaning you assign to it? Or do you want unlimited freedom? It's pretty easy question for me. I want to be able to create anything I desire with absolute freedom of expression and for me that is what an Artist is. Just because it's programming doesn't mean an Artist can't do it. I am a technical artist by profession and Artist is part of that title but you are expected to know technical things. So yea it's really up to you to decide what you really want. VEX is not that scary either. Give it a try. I am planning on creating a lot more Houdini videos and at one point I will go into VEX as well and will try my best to present it as simple and practical as possible. And one last thing, you can always find time for the things you really want.

@@unrealfreedom1807 i'd love to learn it and am always thinking of ways how to achieve such complexity with controls to get various results in a concept or a design, and houdini is the way but am blocked for now...it's like standing front of mount Everest, telling my self how the heck am i gonna climb at least the third of it without getting pulled back by some obstacle...well i do believe, if the teachings are well made by a master i'll be able to do something with houdini..most of the tutorials looks like a show off do this do that without explaining the basic concept behind it, just like you said a concept allows you to diversify your design because simply you understood the internal process of the nodes and how they react with each other. but hey man thank you for the reply really appreciate it and am willing to follow your channel to learn houdini asap the smart way. can't wait :D

@@DeathDealer-DD I will be trying my best to explain the concepts because understanding the concepts is essential. I can recommend you a way of studying in fact you can search for Justin Sung on youtube. This guy is a legend. The thing is Houdini and VEX have a lot of documentation and tutorials on their website not even on youtube. Start with simple things and build up but also I think you should go into Houdini and just explore nodes and everything by yourself before you even start the tutorials binchwatch :D . Anyway, thank you for subscribing man I really appreciate it! I hope I can help out and I hope I can create tutorials that are easy to understand!

Another perspective many don’t consider is there is actually a lot of tools you can buy for Houdini that will cut the learning curve down immediately. I only had 1.5 years of experience using blender before learning Houdini, I immediately hit a wall because the learning curve, I then invested in MOPS plus and OD Tools and it’s so much easier to use with these addons and also makes you really excited to use H because you can immediately see the potential. Try focusing on one thing in H first and then branch from there. I recommend learning vellum first because it’s fkn sick and probably one of the best simulation systems ever created

@@unrealfreedom1807 Well he does have a fair point in regards to limitations. In order to utilise Houdini you have to be pretty clever and not just creative. That being said, as you say to be a true artist you kind of have to get outside your comfort zone and perform on a level not the norm. Atm I'm learning Houdini, not gotten to the point where I need to apply math, but I'm studying it with not really much clue as to what kind of math is specifically required, the pitfalls of no set track, but hey.
