Nice tutorial! In order to make it work on runtime, the location and scale must be assigned to an event tick. Construction script updates only in vieport.
@@xenonguillou7105 Yes, thats not enough :( Sorry. Try to copy all nodes except "Construction Script" to Event Graph and connect output EventTick to "Set Vector Parameter Value". It works in my sequencer.
Hi There! I have a question. I try to make animation on "Sequencer" with the example you bring us from this vídeo. The box is ok for animation, but, the cut section don´t showing in real time. Any idea to fix this, for the cut section is running in realtime on the Sequencer? On this case, i´m use the Unreal engine 5. Thanx a lot.
Hi there! I don't know, if you have found the solution. Had the same problem at first, but figured it out: you have to copy all the nodes from the construction script to the event graph, create a custom event (name it somewhat recognisable) and bind the nodes to it. Then you add the blueprint actor to the sequencer and create there a trigger event (you need to first create a trigger track, then a key, then bind the event to the key - after rendering the frame with the key, the script will start to work). It is mentioned below that you can bind nodes to event tick, but I didn't try that - it will definitely work in runtime, but I'm not sure, if it will work in the sequencer without a trigger
Is it possible to create this or similar without working it in into every Material that shall interact with that mask, for example to make it possible to just set a tag "dissolves" and then it can dissolve with the Object. I know thats probably difficult, but i cant think of this beeing practical if I need to work it into every Material. Not that I could have done any of this better.
It would be great a tutorial from you teaching us how to crave/mask (like this method) blueprint texts into any mesh inside own blueprint. Thats a great feature to make custom parametric plaques 👍👍
Hi, I’ve followed this step by step a few times and it just isn’t working… the transparent box just casts a shadow onto the box with the dissolve MI on, instead of cutting the shape out. Is there anything you can think to change? Thank you
Probably figured it out by now, but in case anyone else was curious: there's a few issues with this they address in other uploads. This is basically part 1 and there's 3 total.
I had made the mistake that I created a scalar value to drive scale and falloff in the "M_dissolve_area" material. after I converted them to parameters it worked like he shows here. Maybe this helps.
How can you mask out an object that is standing behind it but not in it? Like a character standing behind an invisible wall but isn't actually inside the wall.
Nice tutorial and easy tutorial :-D But this dissolver is kinda buggy sadly, sometimes when I adjust the size or delete the dissolve cube it does not change the dissolve size as it normaly should but it stays as is :(
it seems the render queue don't receive any update from the sequencer when you animate a blueprint. My solution was creating a mask shader anstead masking the aboiject with a blueprint. annoying solution but I didn't find anything smarter than this@@klimakzak
Thank you very much for your tutorial! 1 other question, what if I want to make the box is more like doing live boolean for the wall? for now the cutting area looks holo. Thank you!
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I have a question. Is it possible to blur the mask so that the border of the cut is blurred instead of sharp edges? I have tried to connect the mask to the Opacity input and switch the blend mode to "Translucent" instead of "Masked" and increase "Edge Falloff", - but the effect is not working.
Is it possible to change the Material BP to Opacity/Translucent instead of Masked? I need that to cut into a Water Plane (UE Marketplace Asset) that needs Opacity!
Hey guy,your video is amazing,it helped me a lot.Now I am developing an Aiming Sight.Through the optic of aiming sight, I hope I can't see the vertext of the aiming sight(like cod or use render target on the optic),I think I need a cylinder mask 3d function in material editor,is there any other way?
hello, this is great tutorial, thank you very much. I have a question: When I control the BP cube in sequence, I key the position and press play, it not moving the mask, is it a bug or sequencer dont allow that?
@@ToriPham If you select simulate (alt s) and press play and then run sequencer you should see the animation and masking in real time. (As noted above you do also need to add to event tick as well).
Nice video! I want to make a material that, when applied to a model, will only render a flat-color cross section of the model as it intersects with other geometry. not with BoxMask
@@CorebGames same same! many videos on this topic have tonns of comments about the empty space inside the masked meshes. how can the volume cut get something like a triplanar material assigned on its "contact surface" ? Btw someone did manage to do it in unity --> th-cam.com/video/Etukbcj6yGs/w-d-xo.html
@@CorebGames The problem with this, is you have to add every object to the material manually. Would there be a way, to be automated, based on how many actors are in the scene? Like with distance fields. Thanks in advance!
Thank you for this. I am still not able to get this to work in an animation. I have updated it as seen below from @federicoFranchi but it still working. What is the solution?

I was just about to say this... lol
For those who can't see it working when pressing play, just put the event in the Event Tick of the blueprint instead of the Event Construct
A+ good sir. You explained things even if you did not have to. Very helpfull in giving the viewer a deeper understanding.
Thanks-!

Excellent tutorial. Helped me a lot! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Every tutorial is excellent, thank you
Thanks!
Perfect! You saved my life too.
This works only at one cube for me. When i add another cube as a mask, previous disappear?
hello thanks for the tuto its work perfectly in editor but not in game when i try in game he didnt work you no how to fix that ?
did you fixed that?? have the same problem
me too
oh,you can tick
Does not seem to work on UE5

Nice video! solved my problem,and another question is how to rotation it,thanks a lot
Great video. Is it possible to use 2 of this cubes to dissolve a mesh in two different points?
I approximated this by removing the 1-x node and thus inverting the mask. Perhaps that fits the effect you wanted.

Also can try increasing bounds scale to 500 or something like that.
and how do we get two dissolved cubes?? If I duplicate the cube it only works with one.
the clip on mesh works perfect in editor but when I click play mode the cut out is gone... any one else have this issue and what is fix?
Are you able to set this invisible area to no collision. So objects can pass through ?
How can you mask out an object that is standing behind it but not in it? Like a character standing behind an invisible wall but isn't actually inside the wall.

How to do the same but with multiple cubes? Why is everyone omitting such an important point?
Would like to know as well. Did you find any solutions?
nice one! does anyone know how to render a sequence using the movie render queue? it seems not reacting at all when using this method. thanks
Do u find solution?

seems like when I move the cube and add frame in sequencer, it does not move. but when I just drag via viewport that masking works. any thought ?

wait a minute. Does a Static Mesh tick more often than a Movable One? 6:15.
can i make this with a normal mesh, that is custom shaped and not a box ?!
How rotation?????

Does is work with rotation?
Great! Is it possible to mask with an object that I made? not a cube shape.
Sure. Thanks
@@CorebGames I'm afraid it's not possible. Whatever mesh you choose, the mask area is always a cube
so this only works for cubes, right? how about complex objects
Shape does not matter. Thanks
@@CorebGames 可以出一期复杂模型的吗？
