Welcome!
Hi, I recently purchased Vintage Film - Ultra Detailed Celluloid Film Simulation and I really like the quality of it. However, I found out that it doesn’t currently support Unreal Engine 5.3, which I urgently need for my project.
Could you please let me know if there’s an update planned for UE 5.3 support, or if there’s any workaround I can use in the meantime?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I already checked before and there is no version of Vintage Film in any kind of finished state for an Unreal version lower than 5.4. I’m very sorry and I tried to find something but apparently, I did a tech check months before release and found out about this restriction. If I had a version I would send it but it sadly does not exist.
I guess you could painstakingly recreate the needed shader and you could probably copy and paste most of the shader nodes between the Unreal versions but it would still be a massive effort. But the logic is there, so you could theoretically back port it.
I’m sorry that I don’t have better news for you!
Thanks a lot for your reply!
I understand the limitation from Epic. But since Vintage Film was originally designed to work with UE 5.1, would it be possible for you to create a small empty UE 5.1 project with the plugin inside and share it (e.g. via Google Drive)?
That way I could open it in UE 5.3 and still be able to use Vintage Film . The project can be very small, just an empty scene with the plugin included.
I’d really appreciate if this is possible 🙏
Hey Isla, welcome aboard!
I’m very sorry but Epic limits how far back you can release new plugins and for Vintage Film, I was not allowed to upload older than 5.4. Vintage Film was originally designed to be backwards compatible to Unreal 5.1 but after learning of the release limitation, I focused on the 5.4 release. That means there exists no release version for Unreal 5.3 and I can not help you with this, I’m very sorry! I wish Epic would have handled this better!
