Great to see tools like this making life easier for Unreal artists. Thanks for making this!

EasyToolbag is here!
A built-in menu for #UE5 that simplifies a lot of the repetitive tasks. No more 5-step process to change screen percentage, changing post process volume settings every time. You can even switch to the old 5.5 viewport UI if you liked that better.

Absolute game changer

[William Faucher @WillFaucherVFX]

In #unrealengine's material editor, this dot that helps you manage noodle spaghetti in your node graphs to keep things clean, is called a "Reroute Node". There's a shortcut to add these, hover your mouse cursor over a wire and simply double-click your middle-mouse key on it.

Alternatively, you can rightclick and type Reroute, to add the reroute node.

Google just released Veo 2, a new state-of-the-art AI video model.

In testing, Veo beat OpenAI Sora in BOTH quality and prompt adherence.

The video compilation below is 100% created by AI (more details in thread):

My favorite video of the Olympics so far is the cameraman for the trampoline gymnastics

Great work from @ODonnellKen using our Move One app to bring this story to life! 🔥

This 3D animation was captured using just one iPhone with our AI-powered iOS app. No suits or markers required.

Impressive cinematic trailer for WoW. It's the detailed imperfections that make it look so realistic.

This weekend I finally got the chance to work on some personal projects. I plan to dive deeper into #UE5 Anim Tools, starting with my favourite - #ControlRig.
I decided to recreate the fist setup I did in 4.26. It was much easier this time.

I'll keep posting as I go with this.
