In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through how to render your characters and environment separately in Unreal Engine 5 using Stencil Layers, giving you more control during post-production inside Nuke. This technique is essential for artists looking to enhance their cinematic shots, perform isolated color grading, defocus backgrounds, and composite like a pro. What you’ll learn: 1- How to activate and configure Movie Render Queue 2- Exporting in EXR format and why it's useful 3- Setting up Stencil Layers for subject-background separation 4- Using Nuke to composite and tweak individual elements 5- Benefits of disabling tone mapping for linear workflow Assets used in this video: 🔗 Tokyo Environment: https://www.bigmediumsmall.com/tokyo-back-alley 🤖 Robot Character (FAB): https://www.fab.com/listings/bc38ffb5-9ddb-4b29-a565-cdfc59758b8c https://www.fab.com/listings/69240f43-d821-4d4c-b5bd-e51eb28cac5c Watch Next: 🎥 My Render Settings for Movie Render Queue in UE5: 🔗 https://youtu.be/s10HJSkwJks 👍 Like the video if you found it helpful and don’t forget to subscribe for more Unreal Engine cinematic and technical breakdowns! #UnrealEngine5 #UE5Tutorial #MovieRenderQueue #NukeCompositing #RenderPasses #StencilLayers #PostProduction #CinematicRendering #VFXPipeline #Cyberpunk
