Green Screen CARDS are DEAD! Unreal Engine Projections are the new KING

Video Description

The bad news... Everything's out of date. The good news - Everything's going to look better for it! In this follow up to my first video on Unreal Engine 5.7 Composure - this time we use Composure to project Green Screen (Blue Screen in my case) footage onto new Composite Mesh actors in Composure. Integrate your live action green screen into virtual environments with camera projections. Rather than texturing onto a flat card like in my old techniques, we can now project materials from the camera onto any shape. This allows for correct depth of the subject in the 3d scene while still retaining the shadows from the plate! Fantastic news for Unreal Filmmakers, Virtual Production and Live Streamers! Upgrade your workflow today and learn the future of Green Screen 3D Compositing with Composure and Camera Mapping in Unreal Engine 5.7!
