celest musk
#

are they convex or not?

#

otherwise split them up to multiple collision bodies

slim atlas
#

i dont know what convex means

slim atlas
#

oh no

#

its all quads

slim atlas
#

and no they are not manifold

#

its planes

carmine frigate
#

google use complex collision as simple

celest musk
#

it's about the whole body, not about tris/quads/ngons

slim atlas
#

that is the thing i am trying to avoid

#

another test that failed.

carmine frigate
#

@slim atlas

slim atlas
#

yee that wont work

#

it would make my job harder

#

not easier

celest musk
#

show your collision mesh?!

#

in blender

slim atlas
#

maybe i am thinking to much inside the box

#

my issue is

#

that i want to apply details on meshes

#

like tiny handles

#

screws

#

and more

#

but i dont want todo this every time

#

and i dont want this inside the texture

#

so my idea was to make this as 3d mesh part

#

but then physic things would collide with said tiny details...

zinc matrix
#

it also breaks the immersion if bolt threads dont have correct collision

slim atlas
#

haha

#

well seriously i get a headache

#

i will look into masked materials

#

maybe a trim sheet can do these details

#

projected onto planes

#

and i will be careful with the floor elements

zinc matrix
#

There's no evasion. We agreed on terms. I was told "change name" and I did. Told also "behave better" and here I satisfied the request. It's all cleared dont worry

carmine frigate
#

well you can pick any mesh to use as collision

lofty lark
#

It's growing praisethesun

zinc matrix
#

That's strange because I was thinking previously, that the mod would have looked at the "issue" and simply sanctioned whoever pinged him for no reason. Apparently I was wrong but don't worry I learned my "lesson" whatever that was. I will not do again, whatever thing I was supposed to not do and wasn't explained. But I got a vague idea.

zinc matrix
#

Nice. Maybe it's the famous altermesh that I haven't tested

slim atlas
#

i found a solution

#

i can use a trim sheet with a masked material

#

this will be how i add these other details

zinc matrix
#

So you can have material masks? Nice. I will take a course on materials for unreal as now i can only load pbr

slim atlas
#

i am currently learning on how todo detailed scifi enviroments

#

full with spaceships

#

and devices

zinc matrix
#

So you add the scifi decals?

#

There's an AI that creates infinite numbers of such decals, could be useful

slim atlas
#

yee

#

where?

#

i will 3d model those onto a trimsheet

zinc matrix
#

Game idea.

celest musk
#

i think manny comes up with better ideas

#

!8ball got any good new ideas?

turbid spindleBOT
#

@celest musk, :8ball: Outlook not so good.

oh it's playing now

zinc matrix
#

Here's another game idea.

#

Premium meat

celest musk
#

somehow i'm craving meat today -.-

zinc matrix
#

That meat is giga premium

deep copper
celest musk
deep copper
#

now discord update gets rid of all my settings, as always

zinc matrix
#

The game idea is to give players normal meat and if they pay dlc or in game purchase they get the premium meat

#

Normal meat is like, mc Donald's photoscan.

#

Of an hamburger

deep copper
#

zinc matrix
#

What about cloth physics. Will I be able to retain the animation info if I decimate an alembic? I haven't tried, I could try now, but I am on the toilet and using discord

#

I mean, more vertices, more accurate, but Less performance. I could retopo the mesh and bake maps from high res, but that would lose the animation simulation data.

#

I was hoping that brutal decimation would have served the purpose of simply retain simulation data and avoid having to retopologize cloth

fleet tangle

#

oh

#

xD

fleet tangle
#

I see the penny has dropped.

deep copper
#

okay idk any penny

#

what

#

They're called pennies in the States sometimes too!

deep copper
#

yeah but why are we talking about then xD

#

It's an expression meaning you've worked it out.

deep copper
#

me when i say anything in lounge

#

just without the cool armour

zinc matrix
#

Ok tested the method I was discussing previously. It works. Basically I can brutally decimate the cloth, resulting in an unoptimized mesh that sucks, but the animation is preserved by the decimation process.

deep copper
#

aye cool

left granite
zinc matrix
#

Now, the issue is that the files produced aren't united and are just pieces of geometry, but the method works. It's not going to be animated with cloth sim of unreal 5, but it's a way to bake cloth sim. If you have a better idea I am all ears. I know there's the cloth sim in unreal, real time. But I prefer for now to rely on the lowIQ baked simulations

hello can someone help me understand this , i have a homework to build a text dungeon crawler but I don't seem to understand this part

The dungeon is designed as sprawling catacombs, each level going deeper. Level 0 is just the entrance with 2 doors. After that first choice, the player enters one of the 2 rooms of the first playable level. Deeper, level 2 would have 3 rooms, because the middle room can be accessed by going right from the lvl1 left room or by going left on the lvl1 right room. Level 3 would have 4 rooms and so on.

#

I am not asking for anyone to code, just help me understand what above statement mean

stiff crystal
#

which part is confusing?

#

I suggest you draw that on paper so it makes more sense @granite haven

#

(should be pretty straight forward then)

timber viper
#

Quite confusing to follow the sentences tbh, if whoever gave/wrote that homework

stiff crystal
#

yeah I don't really like things like this, but some people prefer to make assignments like that

granite haven
#

this is complete text

  • The player configures how many levels the dungeon should have.
  • In each level, the player enters a room, beats the monsters inside (hopefully!), and then chooses between 2 doors that lead to a room in the next level.
    Players win if they manage to progress through all the levels.
  • The battle happens automatically, going in rounds until either the player or all monsters die. In a round, everything happens at once: monsters attack the player, treasures give the player a bonus, and the player can attack only one monster.
  • The dungeon is designed as sprawling catacombs, each level going deeper. Level 0 is just the entrance with 2 doors. After that first choice, the player enters one of the 2 rooms of the first playable level. Deeper, level 2 would have 3 rooms, because the middle room can be accessed by going right from the lvl1 left room or by going left on the lvl1 right room. Level 3 would have 4 rooms and so on.
  • The number of monsters and treasures in a room follows a specially devised scheme so that there are more monsters than treasures on the right of the dungeon and vice-versa. The middle of the dungeon is far more dangerous than the sides. On top of that, each level will bring in bigger quantities of both.
    To provide some variety, there are 2 different types of monsters, but this could be increased in the future according to player feedback.
lofty lark
#

So they describe Level 0, Level 2, Level 3, but not Level 1 think

stiff crystal
#

it was described there

#

" After that first choice, the player enters one of the 2 rooms of the first playable level"

granite haven
#

@stiff crystal i don't understand sprawling catacombs , like does with each level the doors increases ? OR should i just do plain thing like

  1. level 1 , choose door left or right
  2. move to level 2 now choose again and so on and so on
stiff crystal
#

level 0 is the initial room

tawdry star
#

sounds like a rough implementation of a quad/octree. or maybe a bi-tree

stiff crystal
#

I wouldn't really focus too much on the numbers, just draw it on paper and you see what they mean by that

#

that's what I'd do with assignment like that anyway

granite haven
#

i will draw and share image here ๐Ÿ™‚ , maybe you all can give me feedback ๐Ÿ˜„

lofty lark
tawdry star
#

oh wait its just a design.. ๐Ÿ˜‘

stiff crystal
#

when you get that kind of description, I don't think you are even meant to understand it just by thinking the layout on your head

supple apex
#

What school/college/course did you go to that you have a text dungeon crawler for a homework?

lofty lark
#

The college I went to had 3rd year students do a text dungeon crawler ๐Ÿ™ƒ

stiff crystal
#

we had these at CS

#

was at the early courses but still

supple apex
#

I see, didn't know that (not a cs major)

timber viper
stiff crystal
#

it's just meant to be more fun assignment because it's kinda a game, it could just be any program really

timber viper
stiff crystal
#

I doubt that assigment is on a gamedev course

#

probably just some other programming course

timber viper
#

probably

deep copper
lofty lark
deep copper
#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

lofty lark
stiff crystal
#

we could use any game engine on game dev courses.. or build our own things

#

most used Unity, some used Unreal

#

some used blender's game engine ๐Ÿ˜„

#

well.. when it was still a thing

#

they removed it a long time ago

granite haven
#

we are only allowed to use cpp , no libraries, it's a text based

zinc matrix
#

How do you make the meshes for cloth sim? I'm struggling. I could use that decimation process, but I'm sure there's a better method.

zinc matrix
deep copper
#

the old one probably

lofty lark
#

I've been trying to convince the college I graduated from to use Unreal for years. Hell, I've been trying to convince them to not teach Java in their game dev program and use at least c# instead.

deep copper
#

you gotta convince the top shots for it

celest musk
#

why?

zinc matrix
#

I'm low status because I'm self taught

deep copper
#

which probably don't care

zinc matrix
#

People always ask me where I learned this or that. Books and YouTube.

celest musk
#

i did java before, and a lot of things just translate 1:1 to unreal/whatever

zinc matrix
#

So I'm basically a retard.

deep copper
zinc matrix
#

It's high status to get the university title "giga game guy" or something. But I will not let this situation demoralize me

deep copper
#

i thought gaming was a place where this least matters

lofty lark
# celest musk why?

Why to not teach java? What game programming jobs out there want people to use Java? Why even put them in the situation of having to learn a new language to any degree when it's 100% unnecessary? "Hey I see you guys are looking for C# and C++ programmers, surely you'll pick me who only ever used Java over the other applicants that have been using C# and C++ for the past 4 years in college"

granite haven
#

Like this @stiff crystal

celest musk
#

i doubt they all get jobs in the game industry either

zinc matrix
lofty lark
#

Granted, they do 'cover' C# in the game dev program with Unity (which isn't till like 2nd year), and the software dev program has a single course using C#. But why even bother forcing anyone to start with a language that isn't a primary language in the industry they are looking for?

deep copper
zinc matrix
#

Advantage of c# is that if you fail with game dev you can recycle your skills

lofty lark
zinc matrix
#

If they don't give you a favored access to "the industry" then why paying their fee?

supple apex
lofty lark
#

And I've spent a lot of time with the advisory board of the program, and been part of their annual review process for it the last two years and not once have heard of any other student making it in the industry ๐Ÿ™ƒ it's hard enough as is to get in, there's no reason to make it harder but refusing to teach them the dominant languages in the industry.

zinc matrix
#

Let's make a game where "the industry" is a dark grim place with grinning lunatics that worship a god that they call "the industry" and you're a demon with a sword that cuts their heads doing bloody gore massacre

timber viper
#

I learned C++ directly and this year I realized that was actually a mistake

#

when I saw I struggled a lot to understand a language like lua ๐Ÿ˜„

lofty lark
#

C++ directly? Like, first before any other language?

timber viper
#

yes

#

I did some BP but not enough to understand concepts behind progrmaming

lofty lark
#

Interesting think After starting with Java, then C#, then C++, I feel like I would have been better off learning C++ first lol

#

Did you also learn C++ in an Unreal context or did you learn it separately?

timber viper
#

Unreal context

#

My std is... weak

stiff crystal
deep copper
#

i can make your std stronger

stiff crystal
#

but I could be mistaken

lofty lark
# timber viper Unreal context

I feel that. I work full-time as an engineer in unreal and have never read a c++ book ๐Ÿ˜… imposter syndrome is real because I am definitely lacking in "raw" c++ skills

supple apex
#

Personally speaking C++ is bit complex on the syntax and the compiler quirks, not really the language features or concept.
I wrote a software renderer using gdi few days ago to test my c++, rusty, but still works.
But I still don't understand unreal c++, whole different beast.

timber viper
#

When I read books (or talk with Laura) I realize we're just missing "some" things that UE context doesnt provide

stiff crystal
#

@granite haven but considering the description is vague, I doubt they would punish you for interpreting that differently from what the person making that assignment meant... they should have done better job explaining there

lofty lark
#

Need to take the time to actually learn that "raw" c++. And I'm missing some fundamental knowledge, like I didn't even really know understand what constexpr was until two days ago

There is a lynch culture there but otherwise it's difficult to survive 1/2 of the day

and the lynch culture is probably the self mod in action

timber viper
#

What do you see though? It's just getting messy when a troll comes to the chat or someone tries to give a masterclass to everyone

#

Otherwise it's just programmers talk and questions

deep copper
timber viper
deep copper
#

either way, it's stressful to look there for me, case closed ๐Ÿ˜…

#

and based on what i have heard, .. a few people also agree

timber viper
#

It is stressful tbh

but stressful to involve not watch ๐Ÿ˜„

deep copper
#

you say that after being there for 2+ years

timber viper
#

last year and 2020 was more better tbh

deep copper

did something happen then ?

or did you just started understanding it better

timber viper
#

not really, but people just started to not visit anymore as usual

deep copper
#

i guess vocid did its thing there too

#

covid*

timber viper
#

so whenever someone asks a question, we either answer, then if no one visits, we turn into #lounge, but during a masterclass or a troll session we find ourselves in a situation where we said "ok" but still continuing the same thing over and over because either us or other side arguing with each other directly

zinc matrix
#

nah

#

im not that crazy

deep copper
#

isn't linux just desktop which is just that website but packed

deep copper

like, i think discord wouldn't have all that difficulty since their web version works on all desktop platforms

#

i would use their website on phone too, if only it wasn't as terrible as it is on phones

zinc matrix
#

oh, you mean like that chromeOS? where everything runs on cloud or something

#

that sucked btw. i tried it ~week ago ๐Ÿ˜„

deep copper
#

uhm, no, i mean their web version

timber viper
#

Linux is just OS like any other not a website

deep copper
#

the website works on desktop so it should work on linux too, which is basically desktop, as they can pack it with minor changes

#

so emoji update getting there isn't surprising

#

but for some reason, discord thought their website shouldn't be mobile friendly, so they made a seperate app instead which lags behind in updates

my rider on macbook was not authenticating with copilot and throwing a generic error message, i contacted jetbrains support and they simply redirected me to github support

tribal cipher

#

then github support said that telemetry showed that my copilot was working ( it was, but on a different machine which i stated to them before)

#

i asked them where to find more verbose logs and they did not reply for 8 days

#

in the end i found the logs myself and fixed the problem myself

#

i guess it was a rider problem, the java VM could not read some config files for the plugin

#

fixed by chown'ing the problematic folder

#

jetbrains should've atleast queried me about the problem instead of "we dont know shit about copilot, go ask them"

#

atleast jetbrains have an actual ticket system, copilot's support is a nightmare. I can't believe it's a subscription based product. Many free products have better support KEKW

I was reading about some space/time stuff and was wondering how to visualize four dimensions... seems the common approach is to just leave one dimension out and visualize it in three, but you could use color for the 4th one or something

Yeah but at least to me that animation makes no sense at all lol

zinc matrix
#

I found a better method to export baked cloth animation

#

But, I have another issue

#

Let's say I want to export this animation

#

It's a mesh, that carries a rig, it has a physics simulation. I could in theory export alembic, import alembic works in unreal. But that would erase the need of having a rig

#

Should I export mesh cache data? If yes, would I be able to open it with unreal and perform the animation?

#

The export setting I used was to select fix, that carries no animation other than the one of the bones.

#

Alembic works. But again it doesn't have the rig.

deep copper
#

i don't even use the engine so all i can say is #ue5-general or #ue4-general to get to the people who are willing to answer and use the engine

zinc matrix
#

You can just avoid making a rig specifically for game engines, and do alembic export of all the animations you need

#

I'm abit confused I admit it.

deep copper
#

i don't know, maybe because fbx seems shorter to type ๐Ÿ˜›

#

jk jk

#

fbx was by autodesk iirc and the purpose was to transfer animation with the rig maybe

#

but again I don't use the engine so dunno

zinc matrix
deep copper
#

also, how does alembic store animations?

#

is it storing every single vertex data for the animation?

#

rigs in fbx apparently only store weights and the bone animation so maybe it's smaller

#

but again i dunno, i have never used those

zinc matrix
#

I'm following a tutorial that tells me to keep all the deformation bones in a separated layer and use target bones with constraints. At the end I'm supposed to bake the bones of the deformation and export only those. But that method basically gives me a character with bones I have to modify each time I need to change the animation. And it's akin to just using alembic. That's why I had the curiosity of understanding why the FBX if alembic basically gives you want you want instantly

zinc matrix
#

But the good part is that you can simulate physics, bake it, import alembic. And it works

deep copper
#

that really only sounds useful for complex specific animations

#

you can reuse the same animations for multiple rigged characters

#

if the bones match i think

zinc matrix
#

Also, I have to understand if I can combine multiple hair card maps and use single channels for the hair material in unreal, the file carries less space on the disk. Even if normals for example already use r, g, and b, so they will need at least another image. There isn't much info that covers this, even if it's crucial for game engines since hair cards are still used

deep copper
zinc matrix
# deep copper if the bones match i think

Yes that is quite possible. But I have never tested. I prefer to make a rig anew every time, as my purpose is learning not only achieving the result. Repetition ensures I get the concept right, especially first principles

deep copper
zinc matrix
#

In any case can I use a combined image carrying all such channels and separate them in unreal ?

deep copper
zinc matrix
deep copper
#

i think so yeah

I wonder if nanites can be packed with animation info

deep copper
#

they can't be rigged afaik so probably not, alembic won't work either probably

#

ha ! i was right

#

What would your recommend for a mesh deformed by other proxy meshes that needs that physics animation data?

#

I asked same question to blender artist community and they just told me to pack an alembic

#

Trust me I googled alot

zinc matrix

For the muscle shape deformations I don't have any issue, simply because the addon I use is already made to convert the muscle deformations to shapekeys

But if I use a proxy mesh, then how the fuck can I export the animation?

How to make a nanite cathedral. Here's my plan: I use a rough sketch on fusion 360, test it the way it is. If I like it I import in blender and I create uvs. Then, step3 I import it into zbrush, 2 files interior and exterior. I boolean the interior part after having detailed the surface. Step 4 I use decimation master on the mesh. Step 5 I try to see if method makes sense in unreal.

If I understand how to bake the physics and so I can finally run around with a character in unreal, I will do the test of hunting some animals

This is my plan for demon cyber ninja. But, since I started with unreal, I noticed that many many things aren't possible. Like, for example, I am not sure if I can parent a mesh to a triplet of vertices like I was doing in blender, this allowed me to move small pieces of armor, and if I cannot then I need another plan.

I have no idea what you mean, but what if you add the armour you unlock onto sockets on the skeletal mesh

#

I don't know I will take a look at tutorials

#

Like "how to rig an armor"

real flint
#

Like, how you would pick up and swap a weapon

How youd make sure it goes onto the hand

#

Problem is that the tutorials tend to rig simple armors, not a ninja cyber armor

Also, I made a fatal error. I considered character proportions without the armor, and now I have to do armor on it, making the character larger. Bad mistake. I should have made the character thinner, to allow for the armor to be placed on it

#

Do you see other games doing it like that

Akasha model is made of multiple pieces, all separated. Legs, torso, arms, head, it's all separated

Here's the Alaska model

As you can see, it's made of pieces.
