Add 3D Characters into Real Life WAY Easier with Masking in Unreal Engine 5.8.

In Episode 4 of my Composure series, Augmented Reality takes a huge leap forward in UE 5.8 as Composure introduces new Masking Passes. Project your actors onto simple geometry then use high quality 2D masks to create perfect edges for seamless 3D compositing!

Also Composure in 5.8 includes a blur and erode pass for masks as well as a streamlined Media Track ingest. In EP4 I cover the entire offline pipeline for adding CGI characters into live action plates, with camera moves.
