@hellorokoko sent me a suit and said, "we think you'll like this." Were they right? (spoiler alert, does a robot rust in the woods!)

NOoooo, not math!!! Ewww! Master Unreal Engine texture transforms without losing your mind! I always struggle with manipulating Texture Coordinates so I made this tutorial to remember. Now it’s fun and easy* for all! (*easy = slightly less mind boggling and infuriating.)

@SirNullptr William as in Faucher ya. Will star following all my faves and make myself useful to the community. Thanks Ira!

@DeanYurke Not that I'm aware of. i'm sure there are small groups that keep to themselves, like I said you'll have to find them. or build a community of UE5 VFX people. if none exist. but the ones that do exist hover around Willam probably so that's why I say attach yourself to him lol

Awesome surprise this morning, I got upgraded to Gold UAI for 2026! Thank you to everyone for your support on the channel and here on X too! And thank you for all of the comments, questions and tips! ❤️🏆

@SirNullptr That’s awesome advise! Are there groups on x? Like with facebook or Reddit?

@DeanYurke so your off in the dark, you gotta find your community, try putting notifications on for the people you follow and reply guy to William at least lol try being apart of the conversation or creating a dialogue, that's what this place is for. not just posting W's. Dissecting VFX.

@SirNullptr I’m the real Dean, but I bet that a fake one would say the same! 🤓🐺❤️ I’ve not quite cracked how X works, any tips to connect with more UE artists here much appreciated Ira?

@DeanYurke you the real one or a fake account?

@MrTobyCook Really appreciate you taking the time to comment there too Toby! I've sent a connection request to your linkedIn, I'm not that familiar with X. Really would like to know how to reach more next gen filmmers here too.

@DeanYurke It was great! I commented on your video too, with the account I use for 3d stuff (virtualfilmer). It was so so helpful - even all the fusion steps. I tend not to key with fusion / davinci so it was v useful. :)

@DeanYurke What a massive and awesome video about matching lighting mate! So good! Loved the howling dog copilot most 😂
