Unreal Engine 4 - High Quality Render Settings & High Resolution Renders


first you need to create some "MoviePipelineMasterConfig" files. To do this, click the clapperboard icon in the sequencer view. this will open up the Movie Render Queue View, which looks like this.


Clicking on the links under the settings column opens up the render settings editor. From here you can save and load "MoviePipelineMasterConfig" assets. The following images show settings to achieve high quality. The render settings can be added via the settings dropdown in the top left. (not shown in the images)



Anti aliasing is turned off. Instead temporal anti aliasing is performed, which works similar to motion blur but on a tiny scale. The warm up count lets simulations start before recording so everything is in place when the recording starts. The temporal sample count is the number of images over which the temporal AA is performed.



The most console variables here just increase quality of lighting effects. The audiomixer and deterministic audio are only needed when audio is rendered in a wav pass. without them the audio would be wrong pitched or timed.



The game overrides set the override game mode to use the rendering game mode and not any game's game mode. Also LOD system and streaming is disabled because we want to render only LOD0



High Resolution is needed when yor hardware can not render the desired size. this splits up the image in tiles that are smaller and can be rendered. Afterwards the tiles are stitched together with set overlap. If this is enabled, Camera Auto Exposure will not work. Thus, you have to select your camera and set Metering Mode to Manual and Exposure Compensation to a value that gives you the same visual quality as the auto exposure in the shot.



Output sets the file naming convention, output folder, output resolution and the frame range. For preview renders you can tick Custom Playback Range and set a small range manually.


Example Settings Assets:

DefaultPortrait-HighQuality

HighResolution-2450x6280

Blueprint functions without exec pins in Unreal Engine

-
Blueprint functions without exec pins There are 2 types of blueprint functions. Functions with no side-effects These are colored green in the node editor and do not have exec pins. This means they can always be called and do not change anything internally. Such a function can be written in c++ as UFUNCTION(BlueprintPure) FString MyFunction(int32 MyParameter1); Note that these functions must have a return type. The keyword “BlueprintPure” tells that no exec pins are needed. Functions with side-effects These are colored blue in the node editor and have exec pins. Means, they need to be put in a sequential workflow to work Such a function can be written in c++ as UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable) void MyFunction(int32 MyParameter1); The keyword “BlueprintCallable” tells that exec pins are needed. However, if this does not work, one can also write “BlueprintPure = false” to override the behavior.

Renaming C++ Classes in Unreal Engine

Renaming C++ Classes in Unreal Engine If you rename c++ classes and files, they are not found in non-code assets in your game. To avoid this one can use “Core Redirects”. These are simply lookup values that match the old name of the class (used in your assets) to the new name (that you changed it to). These redirects need to be entered into the “DefaultEngine.ini” file for projects or into the “MyPlugin/Config/DefaultMyPlugin.ini” file for plugins. Note that “MyPlugin” is the name of the plugin and that the config folder may need to be created as it is not created automatically. Now, in that file, under [CoreRedirects] add the following line per class. [CoreRedirects] +ClassRedirects=(OldName="OldClassName",NewName="NewClassName") Note that the class names are without the class prefixes such as U for objects, A for actors and so on. The redirect feature can do way more than that. It can also be used for variables, enums, functions, properties etc. Unreal Engine Core

Setting Build Platforms for plugins in Unreal Engine

Setting Build Platforms for plugins in Unreal Engine To avoid building for platforms that are not needed or won’t compile, add “WhitelistPlatforms” to your .uplugin file like this { "FileVersion": 3, "Version": 1, "VersionName": "1.0", "FriendlyName": "BasePlugin", "Description": "", "Category": "Other", "CreatedBy": "", "CreatedByURL": "", "DocsURL": "", "MarketplaceURL": "", "SupportURL": "", "CanContainContent": true, "IsBetaVersion": false, "IsExperimentalVersion": false, "Installed": false, "Modules": [ { "Name": "BasePlugin", "Type": "Runtime", "LoadingPhase": "Default", "WhitelistPlatforms": [ "Win64" ]
