i dont know what convex means
google use complex collision as simple
it's about the whole body, not about tris/quads/ngons
@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...
it also breaks the immersion if bolt threads dont have correct collision
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
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
well you can pick any mesh to use as collision
It's growing 
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.
Nice. Maybe it's the famous altermesh that I haven't tested
i found a solution
i can use a trim sheet with a masked material
this will be how i add these other details
So you can have material masks? Nice. I will take a course on materials for unreal as now i can only load pbr
i am currently learning on how todo detailed scifi enviroments
full with spaceships
and devices
So you add the scifi decals?
There's an AI that creates infinite numbers of such decals, could be useful
Game idea.
@celest musk, :8ball: Outlook not so good.
why no elephants ?
Debatable
it's irritating when the gifs don't play, recent discord updates have been terrible
oh it's playing now
you are a good game idea โค๏ธ
i have autoplay turned off, because there was a gif that crashed discord if you watched it some time ago ๐
somehow i'm craving meat today -.-
That meat is giga premium
i had it off for very long because of really flashy gifs
thats what she said
now discord update gets rid of all my settings, as always
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
no nft 0/10
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
You mean the missing rooks, castles or towers?
I see the penny has dropped.
They're called pennies in the States sometimes too!
It's an expression meaning you've worked it out.
This game is too realistic ๐
is this eu4?
CK3
what does that mean
Crusader Kings 3
Different game from same publisher
See in this timeline France is split into pieces
this map is less scary
me when i try yo look cool in front of my crush
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.
aye cool
๐ซ
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
which part is confusing?
I suggest you draw that on paper so it makes more sense @granite haven
(should be pretty straight forward then)
Quite confusing to follow the sentences tbh, if whoever gave/wrote that homework
yeah I don't really like things like this, but some people prefer to make assignments like that
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.
So they describe Level 0, Level 2, Level 3, but not Level 1 
it was described there
" After that first choice, the player enters one of the 2 rooms of the first playable level"
@stiff crystal i don't understand sprawling catacombs , like does with each level the doors increases ? OR should i just do plain thing like
- level 1 , choose door left or right
- move to level 2 now choose again and so on and so on
level 0 is the initial room
sounds like a rough implementation of a quad/octree. or maybe a bi-tree
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
i will draw and share image here ๐ , maybe you all can give me feedback ๐
okay, what about it. How many rooms, how many doors. We know how many doors in Level 0, We know the room count in Level 2. We know the room count of Level 3. All we know about Level 1 is "you enter it"
oh wait its just a design.. ๐
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
What school/college/course did you go to that you have a text dungeon crawler for a homework?
The college I went to had 3rd year students do a text dungeon crawler ๐
I see, didn't know that (not a cs major)
Gamedev colleges here teach you unity on 3rd year and you gradudate with making simple moving sprites and basic platformer games 
it's just meant to be more fun assignment because it's kinda a game, it could just be any program really
so the bare minimum, as always
not worth the money 
I doubt that assigment is on a gamedev course
probably just some other programming course
probably
the money is so you can say "oh i studied this feild"
That's what it was like for me here in the states ๐ They start with game maker, move to Unity, and viola. You can make a 3d platformer for a 4 year degree.
๐ฆ
truth ๐ญ
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 ๐
well.. when it was still a thing
they removed it a long time ago
we are only allowed to use cpp , no libraries, it's a text based
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.
You mean the new one armory?
the old one probably
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.
you gotta convince the top shots for it
why?
I'm low status because I'm self taught
which probably don't care
People always ask me where I learned this or that. Books and YouTube.
i did java before, and a lot of things just translate 1:1 to unreal/whatever
So I'm basically a retard.
it's okay, we all are with how fast stuff change
It's high status to get the university title "giga game guy" or something. But I will not let this situation demoralize me
i thought gaming was a place where this least matters
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"
Like this @stiff crystal
i doubt they all get jobs in the game industry either
No. You're told you're retarded if you don't have the big title. That's why it's best to study for 6 hours a day like I'm doing at night, and shut down your ears go on and improve as much as you can
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?
maybe to make them understand that reality is cruel and you gotta learn more languages
Advantage of c# is that if you fail with game dev you can recycle your skills
I am the only graduate I know of from that college that got a full-time job in the game industry. That program has been around for a decade.
If they don't give you a favored access to "the industry" then why paying their fee?
Did java before as well, it's OOP base helps me learn new stuffs, even if I haven't use the actual language in ages.
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 ๐ 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.
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
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 ๐
C++ directly? Like, first before any other language?
Interesting
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?
I read that just so that the "middle room" was just the room you got into that room from
i can make your std stronger
but I could be mistaken
I feel that. I work full-time as an engineer in unreal and have never read a c++ book ๐ imposter syndrome is real because I am definitely lacking in "raw" c++ skills
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.
I think that's what blocking us though
When I read books (or talk with Laura) I realize we're just missing "some" things that UE context doesnt provide
@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
I'm not alone 


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
That guy kind looks like thebausffs
Looks like a wwe demo tape attempt~
thanks @stiff crystal

Foll...
are you leaving in the next 6 hours or 30 hours ?
Dieter's leaving us? ๐ Who's answers are going to go ignored now?
guess I'll have to sleep on the plane
i wish i was the plane
sus
alright, be sure to have multiple alarm clocks
goodluck, take care, have fun, don't do scary and risky things
always be careful ! and don't forget to hug me when you return
I'll think about it
Somewhat
sure! what would you like to do
how can you not have fun with AU around
Even Mons left :/
A large portion of successful devs here or in general are self taught
Well that is when it comes to programming positions, no clue how it is for other positions
If you get an extra cheeseburger then obviously yes
๐
when your fun is limited with #cpp's sarcasm
because all you have is landscapes on tick and dragonHell
with some newbies offering free masterclass
i saw someone use RM as short name for renderman, which reminded me of redman which is like blueman and BM , their engine equivalent would be benderman !
ive been testing that brave browsers rewards. and im happy to say that ive earned $0.09 in just a month! totally worth it.
that's quite something, where are you going to invest it ?
my bigger investers are going to be away for a while it seems, so there's room available
just saying
they also have smol datatables
ben always pays big attention to storage
And the classic of moving memory with pointers on tick
meanwhile in an alternative universe, all of that is the norm
generate nanite landscapes on tick ๐ฅณ
Why mods dont visit #cpp anymore
it can mod itself
you guys will call them if anything happens anyway
Kaos, Jack, eXi, BlueMan and others only active on specific channels and very rarely
Kaos and eXi sometimes visit #gameplay-ability-system
Jack sometimes visits and talk about ECS and how other engine architectures work etc
You were unlucky, it's never that bad on usual days
you are used to it
it's always bad
There is a lynch culture there but otherwise it's difficult to survive 1/2 of the day
i gain more stress just by looking there ๐
and the lynch culture is probably the self mod in action
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
the same thing repeated and not understood over and over by different people....
Yeah, those people like... "bots"
either way, it's stressful to look there for me, case closed ๐
and based on what i have heard, .. a few people also agree
you say that after being there for 2+ years
last year and 2020 was more better tbh
not really, but people just started to not visit anymore as usual
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
I lurk sometimes ๐
yeah but why all of you left 
it does sound stressful and repetitive, but who am i to judge ๐
it's your second home now
when you look with a programmer eye you learn many things from those stressful things
yeah, learn from other's mistakes and their approach probably
it's great to be involved for a better understanding
so you avoid bad practices
and I archive so many things
While you're here BM - can you give Eren a strike for changing their profile pic from that cute cat to what it currently is?

Oh yeah, sure, thanks for reminding me
Sec
If you strike eren, can you strike me too ? so that we match โค๏ธ
you have a deal, can even go for a ban if you want ๐
The world is has been set right
so that we match
that was so scary that I needed to change pic immediately
strike wasnt that scary

Well for me it is that period when I don't have patience to answer more C++ questions after looking at C++ for 8 hours ๐
totally not going to participate in #generative-ai cult
that's also why I question if Laura actually have a job or just an alien ๐
BM should take a break with what's happening lol
I'm thankful people like Laura, siliex, Hojo, etc... have the patience to stick around and answer our dumb questions.
what does that mean
no idea how they can handle that world, seriously, salute :salute:
I feel like I seriously lucked up in when I started taking UE more seriously as my preferred game engine with them present. Really super-charged my journey.
discord has a default salute emoji now
when are they going to add it to mobile ๐ญ , their mobile department should get more budget
damn I'm even paying for nitro
and their mobile department sucks
they dont know how to spend that precious 0.8 dollar that I give monthly
i blame most gamers for using other things. so discord doesn't focuses here much
im surprised that those new emojis work on linux. normally nothing works here. kek
arch btw?
isn't linux just desktop which is just that website but packed
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
oh, you mean like that chromeOS? where everything runs on cloud or something
that sucked btw. i tried it ~week ago ๐
uhm, no, i mean their web version
Linux is just OS like any other not a website
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
as far as i understand anyway,
oh, i see
stay in touch with me too
Always
it's okay, you can take 5 min breaks

sorry just kilobyte xD, i have a tendency to repeat words at times

yes
Just when I was about to implement WFC myself ๐
And I want to do it, guess I'll pretend Epic's implementation doesn't exist like with their 3 octree implementations lol
is wfc that common ?

Hey! I wrote a little app that shows what you're working on on discord, and it works with a lot of creative apps, including autodesk, adobe, c4D, blender, clarisse, and more!
Some examples:
Hope someone finds this useful :) ๐ค
theres a built-in feature that does same job though?
The thing is, no. And for a lot of apps thats not the case.
And if you mean the "add game" one, then yea true, but it doesn't display the project, program icon, the portfolio thingy I added for everyone etc
Actually UE is not included lol
But I'm sure if people use UE, they prolly use other software too
:b

I am considering trying to play android games on PC. From my research, you need an emulator. Which is better Gameloop or Bluestack 5? Or upgrade to Windows 11? Win 11 supports android games.
๐
sorry 
so , this is a software issue, but can someone tell me why my pc isnt using all the ram it can?
it says 8.1 gb is hardware reserved
can be anything between shared memory with gpu to faulty/incompatible ram sticks
I see, any suggestions on what to do?
like a website to go to for help
Im kinda a noob when it comes to hardware
also, the ram sticks are healthy ( i did a test) and compatible
but how do I know if its shared memory?
if everything fails check again if the sticks are healthy
but you can check in bios for some gpu settings for graphics memory
especially if you have integrated gpu
They must be a damn good bowler, getting three strikes back to back like that
i have a nvidia gpu and a ryzen cpu, lemme try to reset the bios though
i think most ryzens don't have integrated gpu
but don't reset it
just check for something about the memory
Ok, so I mightโve installed windows in the ram
Cuz the boot device is blank
How can I change that?
i'm so disappointed with jetbrains and copilot support
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
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 
Well that's a first for me to hear ๐คฃ
Lol my boot device is blank
I donโt think itโs on my ram, cuz the storages are correct, but I donโt get how my boot device is blank, and the two other ones donโt boot
maybe you did an UEFI installation and trying to boot legacy mode

If they weren't connected, probably a binary tree, but since they are? Probably just an array. It's pretty trivial to convert to/from level/offset and index
How would you convert from index? Is there a shortcut besides looping f(n)?
Hmm. Probably something to do with triangle numbers.
Maybe not quite so trivial ๐
I mean, there's no rational reason you'd need to convert from index. It's not on a 90's microcontroller; we can afford an extra int8. But it's still bugging me.
I was thinking like singly linked list with offsets
Like 2i+1 gives left and 2i+2 gives right
You don't need an index for a linked list
Still think something like a binary tree is the best option
how about heapified array

Is there something beyond quadtree and octrees that would represent spatial data of more than 2d or 3d, like 4d for example?
tl;dr essentially what I am asking is there an octtree for 4d
Fecking show offs .. making things in our dimension that only exist in theory... pfft
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
(ie. this is how it's sometimes visualized in three dimensions with one dimension for space omitted)
Yeah but at least to me that animation makes no sense at all lol
To visualise extra dimensions you have to construct them mathematically, and use that model to essentially cast a shadow. However you won't be able to accurately display movement at all.
arse !!
They are currently working on an 8th dimensional math model. 'They' being very very smart people. They will use that to see what the 4th dimension looks like. Sort of.

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.
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
Why people use fbx if the amebic works fine? With alembic you don't even need the rig anymore
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.
i don't know, maybe because fbx seems shorter to type ๐
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
Yes could be the reason. But probably it has something to do with importing multiple animations in 1 file or something. All the tutorials online use FBX by the way
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
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
Yes something like that. It's a cached file
But the good part is that you can simulate physics, bake it, import alembic. And it works
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
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
but again #ue5-general or #animation if you need real answers
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
i thought normals only used r and g, not b, the engine discards that and saves only r and g, calculates B on the run or something
Thanks I appreciate
In any case can I use a combined image carrying all such channels and separate them in unreal ?
you probably can, there was a term where people used r g and b for seperate tasks from a single image
Understood. Just knowing it's possible is enough
I wonder if nanites can be packed with animation info
they can't be rigged afaik so probably not, alembic won't work either probably
again #nanite if you want answers
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
if you asked in their #lounge you are better off re asking in #animation
Trust me I googled alot
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?
you can do it ! i believe in you !!
Thank you I will post YouTube video if I make it
goodluck
I'm stuck on this type of petty issue. Fuck I should be already planning a level design
it's okay, game dev takes years
Yes i haven't made much devving either to be honest
Picked unreal 3 days ago
But don't worry I am following tutorials on youtube
have you check their official tutorials on their website?
Yes nice stuff. I finished the introduction one.
Insane what lumen does.
i think it was this stuff
I tried the basic shit and I was already mind blown
lumen is pretty useless people say, because of how intense it is
Oh.
Interesting
I was thinking it was "the shit"
people disable it because your cpu gpu is troubled ๐ฆ
Understood. So they bake light ?
nanite is, because it's really fast,
idk, i never used ue5
I'm using a laptop for unreal. It's ok
I wonder which GPU are they making cry
Mine is just a lowIQ 3060 for laptops
So if my low IQ 3060, with only 6gbs can somehow run with 2 monitors 3 softwares open I wonder which one is that they are making cry
I don't know
I'm not expert
same !
Lumen is great because I will never complete my projects...so who cares about performance ๐
My principle is that if it runs on my laptop it should be ok everywhere else
sounds ok to me
When I see my laptop having issues then I think "ok , time to downsize something"
If I had a high IQ 3090 I would assume it's the norm and develop things for that one
Who cares about consoles and old platforms, eventually everything will be old one day, so I'm sure one day your high IQ game will be actually playable, like crysis
I have read on the crytek forum about a method to convert normal map into roughness map. Is it a thing or not?
yes ! which is why ue has big demo projects, probably
i have never heard of that
how loyal of you ๐ค
I think most people don't want to change hardware because all games look the same and are indeed the same so they don't bother
i don't even play anything, so i can confirm that every game looks the same
I sold my 1060 for a 3080 ti, it's cool but was it really worth it..not sure
if you can run lumen, probably
All games have health auto regeneration, all of them let you carry from 2 to 4 weapons (console layout of gamepad) so if thats the case let's just ignore novelties and play old titles forever. I myself have a huge steam library of games bought with sales, an never played them
It could play anything just lower res, didn't really mind I guess
uhm, i think flappy bird doesn't let you carry weapons !
so the only reason for better gpu cpu is bigger screen...
Nobody cares about graphics anymore, which is understandable. All they give you is "ray tracing" and the bullies online swear they "can see the difference" if they bought a high refresh rate, all of this is ridiculousl, infact nobody gives a fuck
yes ! i don't care !
I was using my 1060 with a 4k screen and 2 more monitors...ran fine ๐
Probably coukd have run cyberpunk at 720p
wait then why do people buy new rtx and stuff
Neither do I. I just want to carry 12 or more weapons with double functions, have a character that jumps and runs for real and big towers instead of flat boring maps like seashores. Basically I want speed and adrenaline. And that's the reason I'm here and nothing else
cool!
Well there is a difference for work. UE5 was kinda laggy, lumen ran but at 20 fps, could not use substance painter with 4k projects because of low vram, etc
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.
I don't know if it's a good idea. Never did it before
Isn't it easier to have a modular approach?
as long as it works !
Like they did the cities in the UE5 matrix demo...wall modules, corners, details, etc
This is where I tested the first 2 steps. A terrain that can receive minimal modification. I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not. Again, I'm just testing stuff
Understood
Like an assembly
Each floor could be a separated piece.
each item, probably
so it can be removed if camera can't see it
hence increasing smoothness
Item? What's the purpose of the nanites if you use single items. Sorry for my noob level
and reused so it takes less memory
read what laura said
Why you don't use dedicated channels for help?
Darwin............
Was nice game.
๐
oo what is this ?
Darwinia
It is weird... strategy? I dunno. Interesting, kinda Tron
Is maybe the only one studio which, accidentally, I have played all of their games.
A lady which worked in a company doing some gps/long range transmissions had a special car device. If you plug it in the lighter, it saved you fuel. She was a physicist.
Don't know how we're gonna save on natural gas this winter..apparently the prices will be insane
electricity prices have spiked like crazy here all year and they say it could be significantly worse in winter
I never understood how people could find the price of electric heating reasonable because it could already cost a thousand eur in a month at worst before the price increases
Buy lots of hamsters and wire up hamster wheels to provide power
More dresses, going back to the old ways. Enduring cold.
In all movies and games, heroes wear just a pelt over naked body during the winter.
are you serious? because thats nonsense
so whats yalls thoughts on blender 3.3
should i upgrade?
i mean yea its free but is it better/more stable then the current ver?
There are rumors Germany will send most of its people to Turkey for vacations, since hotel prices are cheaper than gas ๐
True
Most expensive one is ๐น๐ท
Second one is ๐ง๐ท
No
Apple is just be like "I dont care if you dont buy, that's what our prices are"
f**k Apple ๐ก
but every other company trying to reduce their prices until they make benefit
Generally everything about tech is more expensive than any other country
it's either 1.2x more expensive or 1.5x
but only Apple is about 2.5x or something
Starbucks is $3.5
no idea how much is it in NA
White chocolate mocha grande is $3.8
starbucks is pretty bad in general
i buy earl grey tea from there when im out and about and its $3.25
for tea
not even like high grade stuff
"economically" almost everything should be cheaper than ANY country in Turkey, but it's just local taxes are too high
except tech, but cars and other products
should have been cheaper
It's either going to defence industry or drowned
sounds american :V
USA is becoming more similar to Turkey each day tbh
First what Trump was doing before leaving, now Biden's speechs etc
Don't they have a huge problem with lobby-ing? It looks even worse than our low time politician thefts ๐
As corporations control the laws and everything
its less "control the laws" and more "influence the direction of laws"
but yes
its why insane orgs like the NRA not only still exist but hamper gun laws
Idk why but to be a politican in USA you have to promise you'll protect Israel or something, like.. it's understandable USA has a high interest in Israel but why every politican needs to give oath publicly for that ๐
a hug problem in the lounge?
Seems that unity forum has no answer either: https://forum.unity.com/threads/blender-export-simple-mesh-deform-animation-as-vertex-animation.1303449/
wheres @deep copper when you need them
it's proving lobbying goes wrong somewhere in usa imo
This should be one of the easiest things to do, but I found dozens of people asking and asking again how to do it. No answer, no fucking answer
I swear, if I find the solution I subscribe to unify forum just to answer that guy
I heard teens these days "google" stuff solely on instagram and tiktok
I heard teens today are fucking idiots
Them greeks were awesome
They had their downsides.
Can you tiktok how to mmo rpg in ue?
They had their ups and bottoms
hopefully in your heart โค๏ธ if not in #lounge
No but it explains some really low quality "tutorials" Ive seen on instagram
Like properly googling stuff with the right keywords and formatting definitely helps find issues quickly
Solutions to issues*
Course I guess it also depends on your ability to use common sense and logic
apparently, many people don't know tricks like searching with "" etc
if they know they can search their problems, that is
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines adolescents as those people between 10 and 19 years of age.
whew, almost was going to be a fucking idiot
a new research says until 24 you are technically a tenaager but who cares what science says
i thought teen was just, based on the sound at the end of numbers
or share
or to watch the full video without skipping
and rewatch parts you don't understand
in many videos, you can literally hit 5 sec skip after every 1 sec and it still makes sense with no points missed
That blender's guys super quick tutorials are pretty good
Also lets you figure stuff out yourself
the donut guy?
The best Blender tutorials are "Will It Blend?"
Lazy tutorials, Ian guy
that was quite amazing yeah
fun to watch mainly,
I was just applying for consultance about adding operator shrug 
35.000.000 ah so the . wasn't a decimal
though Laura made a huge discount
it was normally "per hour"
not "month"
and she even offers the price of first iteration
F35 prices are now around $90mil
what's that for exactly though
to blow up people and planes?
rather cheap for that ๐ค
soooooooo tired
It's just a 5th generation multi purpose plane with vertical landing and other esoteric technologies
TIL F35 has only 35 millions of line code in its systems btw
is vertical landing what i think it is ?
weird
It's disallowed
you cant use
even though you can
well you can still do it on assembly ๐
Its a HUGE pain to work with
they were using MISRA on F22 i guess
or not sure
but but but my budget of 1/2 of F-35 Lightning II 
Currently I'm studying remote
but officially I'm a student
but never attend physically
current program doesnt require it
actual one is either next year or 2024
depending on elections ๐
no
just to delay military service
so I can continue programming without giving 6 months break
I wont actually sit down and study for classes
Im enrolled to history so I can already pass any exam
Cleopatra didnt have children iirc
they just ask Ottoman in exams fwiw ๐ฅณ
she had 4 children
poor people
It is from one clip where the person tries to reach to the grapes and the panda hurries to eat them.
So, me and my friend discovered an insane glitch in cyberpunk yesterday and we genuinely don't understand how or why it works, and reddit is being useless lol
Literally we are able to remotely load each other's save files
It saves to cloud and for whatever reason it downloads to each other's computers
Not steam cloud, it's CDPRs own cloud system
use it while you can!
aU!
Horizon!
how are you on this fine Saturday
good enough, but kinda sad about your hand ๐ฆ
how are you ?
this is not a fine saturday, had to work 6hrs to finish yesterday's work 
should've done it yesterday instead of playing, that history map thing ๐
how are you tom ?
Is that a bear? Fox? Weird coloured raccoon?

i am equally confused
and thanks to discord update, i can no longer read the link
It's time for being a weeb now at least
I have 4hrs to watch anime
i can relate though ๐ฆ
4 hours ! that's 24 eps at 2x
exactly why i hate complicated languages ๐ญ
cool cool ! glad to know ๐ and i am okay, but i would be certainly better if you hugged me ๐
meanwhile in the game, NPCs offer 0 gold to leave the prison
wait what kind of game is that and why is it 0
It's the same game I posted yesterday, you can imprison people
that looks nothing alike!
i wonder if blocking would help, give it a shot!
I dislike streamers.
not me! xD those channels
They clog up the vacuum cleaner
so i can increase the difficulty ?
jk jk, that's so sweet of you. well you aren't a dev rn so you are pure i suppose :D
I learned that it's a good idea to combine all the meshes of a character into one, to avoid unnecessary draw calls, and it is the same for materials, they should be all combined into 1
But, what it my character has hair card, I cannot use only 1 material since the hair card itself will need a separated one. So I need at least 2 materials.
Also. I noticed that LODs in game assets I extracted until now are just decimations. Can I just use another mesh with lower resolution? I don't know why all the assets I downloaded were made with the decimation, including the robot girl from unreal game demo
don't worry it'll heal and tomorrow we'll go!
Good especially with you around!
I packed all the materials into 1 4K texture for this pig. But, the character has a set of clothes. Damn I hope tutorials will tell me how to set up a cloth selection or something similar. If it's possible on Skyrim I think it should be easy to do even in unreal.
it's okay! don't rush, let it heal for as long as needed , we can cuddle till it heals
I used this trick previously, but I'm afraid it will never work in unreal, where instead I will need to edit the normals
but I wanna go jimmm
Here there's a transition between the two states of the face. And it was used to simply have the flattened face when camera is in front of the face
Otherwise the toon smooth shadows were covering the face.
hmmm, alright, but nothing heavy okay ? no heavy excercises allowed !
I'm aware of the method of guilty gears but I don't like it.
Im watching the french film, Irreversible
Is it good?
And I just finished Dying Light 2
I will watch SpongeBob today
Pretty hectic. Interesting videography, but brutal imagery.
Spongebob will be better.
Too many terms I don't want to research
"hectic"
What is that?
chaotic
Yessir
Sir / madam if I go jim i go hard
what is it, sir or madam I wonder
The french have an image to uphold you see. Always pushing boundaries.
sir
and i see ๐ค
Good to know!
but do take care !
Kinda prefer UK cinema
aww okay !
I made this one. It's around 12k vertices, no mouth no hair now, I think always to remain around 15k so I leave 3000 vertices for further improvement. Problem is, the shape of the eye hole is big. What I did was just use a lattice to constrain the sphere. But then, how to import in unreal such a thing? I have heard that I can convert lattice into shape key.
I like how youcan see the bone structure beneath the skin
Can almost feel that fleshy ghoul
feels like it could use a hug
The arms are ready
it's not a T pose, it's the hug pose !
I broke many rules. I have the habit of modeling characters in a way that favors the type of movement I'm planning
Do you use maya?
cheezus this is not exactly a help channel or personal dev log
it's a channel where people hug each other!
Zbrush? Blender?
Aaaaaah one i havent tried
i only heard of it like yesterday
Made of stone material. I just wanted to add a random material
Gal Gadot is a beautiful woman.
She looks exactly like this Monica Bellucci 10 years ago
Don't mention it please
oh it's your secret ? got it !
You don't understand my brain is damaged
can i test it ?
I disagree
Could be
Have youseen all the wonderwoman movies
Or that new one with ryan reynolds and the rock with Gal Gadot
That one made me certain she is beautiful.
where did u get her from all of a sudden haha
I have seen a movie with Mia Malkova
can you send a gif of her so we know who you mean
๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฑ
Don't you want to punch her face precisely when she does the biting lip action?
we have beautiful girls in Israel
Thats how it was at first, so i understand what you mean ๐ but she grows on you
So do warts
Ok
Good actress, to boot
They are big
how lovely
and cute
The Elephant skin is so thick, infact to take one down you need a special rifle
why would you want to do that
to hug it safely maybe
I'm thinking like a game developer
"what I would do if"
never knew that's what eren has been doing for 2 years
I dont do that much
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
we are making something else ...? ๐ณ
now you are talking like ben ๐
take a break from life, sleep for a while
Sounds like a plan
become my snow white or whatever that one was that falls asleep forever
i wish i paid attention during those oof
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
Like, how you would pick up and swap a weapon
You can't watch anime, or you can't dev? ๐ค
How youd make sure it goes onto the hand
Problem is that the tutorials tend to rig simple armors, not a ninja cyber armor
๐
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
Don't know I started 3 days ago with unreal. Do you have examples? To start I downloaded unreal tournament 3, and took a look at their models. Saved akasha so I will make a new akasha for UE5 later on
Akasha model is made of multiple pieces, all separated. Legs, torso, arms, head, it's all separated
Like Rayman ๐
