rigged

because UE is the best. And it makes you cool.

You must keep the UE logo afaik

thats not always consistent. Sometimes Epic doesn't want the logo on the game

yeah but there are odd terms in the ToS about gambling based games. I know they don't mind selling gatchas so Im not sure on this one

Likely Unity
No documentation about it anywhere (and I'm not bothered to install another goddamn mobile game just to find out)
Aha!
Found a Reddit post asking about reversing the asset, and it uses the tools for Unity games
timber viper
its more of a live2d showcase rather than an actual engine showcase tbh ๐
20% 3d %80 2d
fathom wadi
everything I make is 2d. I just animated it really fast.
timber viper
voice acting and drawings probably cost more than coding the game for nexon
quasi mantle
Reminds me of how painful it is to implement Live2D in UE
fathom wadi
i kind of wish we had a good 2d solution. I was adept with Flash so having the adobe gaming SDK within Unreal would be interesting to me. Although I think we can do better these days. Flash was only just getting going on things like 2d rigging and 3d elements.
quasi mantle
FWIW you better off using your own solution for 2D rigging and material blending (which I did, but I don't have sufficient assets to test it)
fathom wadi
I just wouldn't use UE for 2d really. Unless it was cel shader based which isn't really 2d but yer know.
I did make a slot machine in UMG tho. Thats 2d so im lying
quasi mantle
I'm still going to use 2D elements for the UI, maybe for party member view
Though I'm going to use my own solution of "2D" skeletal mesh (which is just bunch of flat meshes puppeteering) and capture it with minimal scene capture + render target
fathom wadi
it would be cool if someone made a modular puppet for UMG. Like a WidgetCharacter class. With it's own set of relative anchors alongside the the current ones, some joint/bone handles, etc. Something you can easily modify but couples onto the UMG animation timeline system (even though im not a fan of that and do my widget animations manually with events). I mean, it's got the tools to do a lot of it, it just needs a few extra bits and bobs.

@broken sigil quick question regarding to our earlier "BP nativizer node" convo
do you think using ContainerPtrToValuePtr makes sense for each inaccessible variable in the node? For example if we're calling BP_Weapon's Ammo property inside a BP_Character's "nativized node" graph - since BP_Weapon is not inside of the nativization scope system must rely on reflection system to get data
also same question for calling BP nodes
TargetObject->ProcessEvent()
for each inaccessible BP function/event call
no
reflection doesnt care about that
ContainerPtrToValuePtr does something similar to that private access libs anyway

I can only speculate why Laura left, but for me I've left communities I've been in because I just got tired of it.... I've usually joined them in the past because I had some question, but end up spending more time helping others than getting my questions answered (either because they're too hard for anyone to answer, or because I simply don't have any left)

IMO parsing kanji per letter isn't always going to work

Leaving reviews that are completely false just because you refused to help them with their entire project unrelated to your product because they don't know what support means

Tbh it seems to me like they could've handled that differently than just removing the features altogether, given that it seems people are finding value from it
Although at least for me I can't say I've been very tempted to buy anything off the marketplace, so at least for me a purchase decision would have to come from somewhere else than the reviews

probably to avoid draining from the battery
since slightly charging might be better than slightly draining it
but that's just a wild guess

A laptop battery could be prolonged by lowering the charge voltage when connected to the AC grid. To make this feature user-friendly, a device should feature a โLong Lifeโ mode that keeps the battery at 4.05V/cell and offers a SoC of about 80 percent.

So my device is broken if it not keeps SoC in one place ?
celest musk
no
zinc matrix
oh. Ok I get it
Long Live just gives lower voltage on battery and it is charging slower

and it might only charge up to ~80%
but i wouldn't take that for granted, quite possible that most laptops still just charge to 100%
zinc matrix
celest musk
ok, i wasn't aware of that
maybe those "60%" are up to the manufactor

I remember trying to run Lyra in editor lmao the performance was abysmal it's probably much better now that ue5 is a bit more stable

For example our project heavily depends on nanite, with nanite close to 80-100 fps, without it literally unplayable
Nanite is a great piece of tech
Lumen is the expensive one, but it has gotten better in 5.1

Yeah but you can still apply other techniques to increase performance for sure and definitely look for overlapping etc

warm bloom
I recall looking into it a lot
and it has something to do with overlapping transparency or smthing
I forget exactly
but like your typical megascans grass is just not optimized
atleast from when I tried it when 5.0 initial came out
torpid wedge
even in nanite?
warm bloom
it has more to do with lighting I believe
tulip orbit
yeah, thats what I'm using right now, but even fairly sparse the fps isnt great. Still like 40+fps better than the default grass from the landscape prov2 pack
warm bloom
like try turning off grass shadows
and compare your performance
lol
it's overdraw
it's expensive
I don't think the quixel foliage assets were made with nanite in mind so like there's tradeoffs
torpid wedge
I have to admit, I didn't use "grass" in my game.. I would say it was more like "clumps" of grass... specially tuned.

shadows are very unperformant

No idea why... you are getting that

hmm, a few spots of green (4/10) on the fringes of the grass, but thought it was the vis
I did modify the mat cause I was testing with having objects affect the landscape grass, so that it'd disappear when you place something on the ground
nope, thats gone.. hmm

what are your thoughts on the 3060?

Works great. Only time I have fps issues is in ue5. For games everything runs great. Just cant put cyberpunk on ultra settings
