Go behind the scenes of our Godzilla cinematic made entirely in Unreal 5. Learn how to create Hollywood-level VFX at home using Unreal Engine 5! In this video, I show you step-by-step how I recreated an epic Godzilla battle sequence using the same tools available to you. I'll share some insider tricks from my experience working on blockbusters like Star Wars IX and Godzilla vs Kong, now applied to Unreal Engine 5.

I want GODZILLA shorts with AMAZING graphics made by people using UNREAL ENGINE 5, who are paid more to work less, *AND I'M NOT KIDDING!*
Awesome work on this Josh!
That's... THAT'S... *THAT'S UNREAL!!* 😮😲🫨🤯
I think Godzilla minus one also proved that . Awesome job btw .
Hey Josh, amazing job in this project! How long did it take you from the beginning to the completion of this project?
Brooo THE SHOT WHEN THERE SHOOTING HIS FACE IS SOOO REALISTIC!!!!!!!!
Godzilla fan movies just became a hundred times easier to make!!
That animation is incredible 🎉
It was awesome to watch this Live and see you explain the process in detail!
Crazy! Thank you for taking a look at this amazing piece of work. There's a lot to learn from your videos.
How has no one hired you as a VFX artist? You did a phenomenal job in fact I think you did so good you deserve an Oscar.
There is not much stuff right now due to strikes 😢 many talented people like him jobless
Yeah unfortunately, and it’s all because executives want to replace artist and animators for AI because “AI’s more technologically advance” and I hate AI for that. AI can be a good tool for helping certain parts of animation to look better, but it can’t replace some people’s job. That is why we need an artist and animators strike now so that they can get better pay and to show off more of their creative animation styles that’s not hyper realistic AI shit.
least he's profiting from this channel and his courses
He works in the industry
He has been hired on the Dune movies among other stuff too. Right now however the industry is experiencing the dark ages for two reasons.
Reason 1: Poor Ceo management of funds. Companies overspend on movies and series (like 100-200 mil) meaning that even if a medium becomes smashing success it can still go out business (Example is Tangowork studios that was close down by Microsoft after a very successful game they made that even won awards. Best case scenario the studio closes after a success, worst scenario and most common it makes nearly nothing back in revenue and the company is minus 40-120 mil. Their solution to this is not to fire the person managing money so carelessly but to fire the artists who are the backbone of those movies / series / games and put up the most work.
Reason 2: There is a gigantic rat race with AI right now, every company wants to perfect "the definitive AI" that will replace a department group, primarily the VFX artist department. There are speculations about the animation industry as well but the first casualty is most likely going to be the vfx industry.
These two reasons happen right now at the same time and as you guessed reason 1 with reason 2 synergize as higher ups see the artists as the main financial problem to why their media is not doing well. "Godzilla Minus One" is a great example of proper funding use as the movie had 15 mil overall budget for the movie, blew out every other Godzilla movie out of the water, is the highest rated and considered the best Godzilla movie ever made and is the first ever Godzilla film to win an Oscar.
really insane ! good job !
Most of these shots look movie worthy here! Great Job!
I love how many times we go to the next level. And it is funny how many times you say it, but it really is true. Every time you did something to bring the render "to the next level," I was like "oh wow, I guess we really did take it to the next level"
You'r crazy. And I love it. Great work! Keep it up!!
So thats Pure Skill and Creativity ... wishing u a good luck with all future projects ..Good Work Buddy
Overall, this animation was top-notch. I love it. It was so good. It seemed like a real movie.
This is incredible!
Did anyone else notice the small detail at 5:23? It’s so cool!
You killed it man🤯🙌
Awesome work man!! 🎉
Awesome tips 👍
A game like this would be phenominal. sadly, there are only a few modern games allowing to play as godzilla on PC, most of them only have mods which add godzilla. Dedicated kaiju brawlers arerarity, like Gigabash.
It wouldn’t look anything like the render… games have to run realtime.
It would look so bad that you won’t bother buying it at all. This is extremely difficult unless you want everything to be pre-rendered and scripted at which point it’s not a game but a fancy cutscene
@@Alpha_GameDev-wq5cc Indeed. However, if it is optimized and have quality like ARK: survival evolvled mods, I definately buy it.
Amazing
awesome!!!
Bro really appreciate you 💗😊😊
AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woohoo!
That is amazing.. can you do a more detailed tutorial on getting the depth pass from ue and doing that smoke, explosion maskings in nuke!?
Realy cool❤❤❤❤❤
So Great!! 😲😲👏👏👏
Very, very cool!
3:45 las animaciones del jurassic world alive. Interesante proceso y magnífico resultado
You had me at free bro, liked and subscribed
this bts was badass!!
Very impressive!!! What computer reside I need to use unreal engine other programs in this video
F-KING Awesome!
This is cool. Any reason why you didn't use Unreal Reader in Nuke?
You should’ve done jets instead of biplanes because if they have helicopters then they’d probably use jets to but good job I could never do anything like that
did you have to use muzzle flash, bullet strecks in game mode or were they added post, Fantastic looking you go man!!!
do you have a course for how to model the godzilla, buildings, etc..? i mean 3d modelling courses
underrated
You don't need million dollar budgets...
...Just maaaybe a few thousand though, because someone's gotta pay that modeler and that character rigger. It's a stretch that they'll do that for free for everyone.
unless ur network is fantastic, you're capable and experienced, reliable friendly and approachable. They might
There's a lot of great 3d artists that sell fully rigged high quality models for Godzilla monsters for cheap. Some are even free.
@MMDCharizard have been doing it for free to MMD animator since 10 years ago, his rig even have a very high quality, MMD is not exactly a high end animating software but we are talking about character rigger here, we did should pay if we commission him though but still
@@kurokishizx I want to network but don't know who and how. I got skill in animation, and screenwriting i need some pals to work with
Holy shit that looks amazing! Keep up the good work. 🔥😍
Btw what are the current specs you are running? 🙌🏽💪🏽
Dude this was amazing I’m creating my own Godzilla short on unreal and need some help animating I have never used unreal so I need someone who is pretty good at animating on unreal I have a model and everything just need some animation help
Heyy Josh~ Love your videoss. I would love to know the types of movies in set where you used unreal engine :)) PLease share us some knowledge about working on set using a game engine (Whch definitely dosent sound suitable for cinematics since its game engine)
Dope
DAMN!😲
This is really amazing, and I enjoyed every second of it, but it bothers me A LOT that you used WWI biplanes with helis (that didn't exist at the time) in a city apparently from the 60's onward. What were you aiming for?
Can I ask what your PC system requirements before I try practicing unreal engine 5
Could you please suggest a laptop suitable for VFX compositing work?
If we use Unreal and Aftereffects together then its Epic
Came out great. When rendering from Unreal, do you export and render the frames with the real time engine or do you export them with the path tracer because you are not making a game? I always wanted to know that. What do most people do?
I don't pathtrace, I prefer to work in real-time the whole time so that you can rely on those super fast render times. Totally depends on the project, but many people path trace, but it sort of defeats the purpose imo.
Nuke sounds like a really useful app to use if it doesnt cost 200-2000 a year
Like before watch
Can the Blender application make a Godzilla movie like UNREAL ENGINE?
What if not able to watch masterclass live can I still be able to get masterclass replay later
Early gang lets goooo!!
Did some comparisons and Godzilla is between 354feet to 400 feet
🐐
This is awesome. Can you believe that UE5 is free? Crazy world we live in.
I do realize they will take 5% of your profits if your project makes at least 1 million dollars. At that point I don't think abyone would care though lol.
May i ask if you can make a disney animation tutorial in unreal engine?
10:41 define 'AURA'
Make a mini movie please
Holy shittttttt 😮
I wanna learn this but seems like years to learn or master 😢😅
how long did this take?
what are your gears btw.
Who do I even email to network to work on a film?
"A creature".... from a little movie called Starship Troopers
I could not understood " Deepth pass" any video for this matter ? Thank you
Did you just say reaching out for help?!!!’
If u can do that then you could make a movie in a year
Is unreal engine available for android 😊
Third 🎉
Is it just me or did I think of behemoth from monsterverse when he said a giant behemoth
Adipurush VFX Team < Josh Toonen
Him: You can make your Godzilla movie at home
Me : (looking at my laptop) 8GB ram with 1TB
Laptop: dont even think about it. Just watch the Goddamn movie😂
Learn to build a computer bro
@@HarryClipzFilmz who's gonna pay for it? Your Dad
@@user-ex5qu8yu3z Nope. You are if you want the best out of your PC, but hey as quick as you were with that smart azz remark you could have put that energy into resolving your issues with a potato of a laptop. I already built my PC, and I am building another one with my 4080. Good luck to you and your potato though
i wish unreal worked with my 1660ti .... tried it and my laptop began to smoke
😂😂😂😂😅😅
Bruh I'm using integrated graphics
Mine popped up
Build you a PC, you can get everything, CPU, RAM, chassis, GPU's etc. on a payment plan so there's no excuse
I think they got rid of that Godzilla model off turbo squid
Second 🗿
I CAN DO THIS AT HOME???!!!
I guess you couldn't really do this without using Nuke which is over 3000 a year for a subscription. Its defintely way out of my budget range.
Выпусти про эту игру, пж на этом движке
Yeah but what is his computer specs?
YaH shal'OM young family. May i inquire of thee, a question ❓ 🤔
Yo don't you already work as a vfx artist?
My Pc Caught Fire Watching this...
Why propeller plane tho. It's not world war II setting. That's the only thing it gets me. The VFX is cool tho.
First
SUBSCRIBED AND SMASHED THAT LIKE BUTTON!👉
ахуительно !!!
yeah makes you wonder why Pixar charge million if not hundreds of million dollars.
Bro who else thought this was godzilla part 5 trailer bruh
yeehh but it still looks like a game not exactly like in the movies
Godzilla isn’t a monster, he’s not the villain in the Godzilla movies. Stop portraying him as a “City destroyer”
A face diaper
So you didn't make Godzilla you just bought a model?
Looks like it
Do directors nurse actors from childhood, feed them and educate them before taking them to a movies?
it's a free model i have it too
No better way to make sure design continuity is on point. So. I don't even remotely see an issue.
Nice results, but not good ass the fills looks, bro GODZILLA in the movies You can see his drool in his mouth, every detail of the wet organs and muscles in his mouth, you can even see the bacterias in his mounth, you did ana amazing job, but bro... It's far from being the same as in the movies details
10:24 Yea, Everyone noticed the poor quality and weakness of the lights in first 2 sec of video. so ue3 cgi & 2009 lights. I just don't know why this boy was rapping so enthusiastically. noob
