anyone else stuck in an eternal limbo waiting for epic games to release cool new features to unreal engine?
everytime I think I'll work on something I'm just like
maybe I'll wait to see what ue 5.x version has
5.2 should come soon
Yeah exactly
which thread(s) are best for chatting with folks & getting help about specific things?
f my life, implementing a flat map for Nth time in my life ๐ฉ
Say no to flat maps. Say yes to flat whites.
Any youngsters benefiting from Biden's Student Loan forgiveness plan ?
real maps have curves
lmao
so bmake?
BM-ake ๐
self publishing on Epic Store aye
lol
BM is having fun.
Is this ML powered bot?
hooked up to GPT3.5
so it has a memory by the looks and you've asked it to be a religious zealot ๐
still working on the memory part but yeah it's instructed to be a sentient cube entity lol
have you tried making it able to have conversations between two gpt bots? ๐ฎ
like one is cube entity the other could be a philosopher posing the big existential questions
I got it to argue with itself but disabled that since it's basically finitely replying to itself lol
so, its bot for blender discord? 
lol
Put spherify modifier on the cube ๐ฎ
Someone posted an ASMR C++ Tutorial in my discord and now I feel like I've made the wrong choices in life.
Compile me.... slowly
asmr?
whats a good ai image generator that you send a pic with a comment and it generates it
the new southpark episode is about chatGPT lol
Man I haven't watched SP in ages.
Ever since the covid episodes.
They cost money on amazon prime.
Fucking amazon prime.
isn't it free on adultswim?
nice, got an email from Epic regarding the Magic & Spell Sounds IP violation thing
at least they notified us a month after ๐
what you like union types on programing language?
you pose the question in a confusing way
you mean "what? you like union types in programming languages?"
or lie "what do you like about union types in programming languages?"
or like "Who of you likes union types in programming languages?"
C# getting union types https://github.com/mattwar/UnionTypes
most games i play, are made in unity, so i dont think its bad ๐

Its not the size of your engine, its how you use it... or somethin
Is it rude to jump into some of the streams in the VC's just because i think it looks interesting? or is this frowned upon and should ask first?
no. those are public channels. some might even like it if you tell it looks interesting
LOL
those are public channels so ๐คทโโ๏ธ
copy, thanks for the insight
Just keep it professional
thats asking a lot

eww UMG and WMG blocked embeds on both of ours
yeh I've heard it before lol
mines very different but I like lots of different music genres
same, your link wasnt my style tho ๐ฆ
can someone send me the best free c++ and blueprinting tutorial for beginner for game devolopping
not free and most likely only BP, but this course might be good and is discounted atm (~$25) https://www.udemy.com/course/unreale4/
thats for engine 4 tho
most things still apply
i got a couple friends i want to start collaborating with and was wondering if multi user editing allows us to like save bps and all the changed stuff. i watched some videos and people are saying different stuff so just asking here instead
I have come to the conclusion that chatgpt is not a test of an AI, it is a test of human patience and endurance.
nice :>
the guy with the smol 32GB line trace data table will like this
that's cool
you're cool
I'm cool.
thanks
cool?
Cool as cool is an unpowered CPU.
those tracks are made by man and a dog
Adventures were waiting for them.
oh yeah that magic & Spell sounds pro product email i got that too sure like most who have get free assets
Who was that anyway? Good they got them tho.
Woohoo, planetary system gen is a go
now add crippling emptiness and the lack of any life form
it will be like real life
we are all alone
๐ฆ
yeah I quickly found generating realistic solar systems is depressing
Red dwarfs seem to be the least depressing, I can fly to each planet and on terrestrial ones load a land map which uses the same colours as the planets exterior
nah not all procedural, the system is generated though
fair
definitely not doing procedural aliens lol
that shits so crazy lol
I played that game
and every system I found
and every planet I found
was called egg
it's all egg
๐ฅ
identifying aliens is probably the most boring part
I stopped playing shortly after they patched the crazy hard raiders
I think the most boring part is even with the update
it just doesn't feel like any of the planets are living
the towns and all
that's my own issue though
I cant complain about hello games
they're a good company
Yeah most studios woulda released 5 sequels by now and ended support for the first 2-3 games
They are winding down on NMS abit though, I read in an interview they have a core team working on other things
that's fair enough
they fulfilled what the game was supposed to be and added more content
I hope they make another space game
I hope they make space engineers #2
I fucking want space engineers but fully procedural
๐ฟ
One thing I really like too is they made it cheap initially then upped the price as it got larger rather than the reverse. It kinda sucks when youre loyal and buy it early but youre the one who gets shafted on price
yeah rust did the same thing tbh
I always like games that do like sales first two weeks
etc
Much better than DLC IMO, not that I have anything against DLC, I just like when the core game gets expanded
no early access game should cost $60 either
I understand the need for dlcs in some games though
big publishers be charging $80-95 for 6 year old games atm lol
dlcs should be like $5-10 though
Thats dollarydoos mind you
Blizzard is getting desparate, it's giving me free lvl60 character boost and free access to the new expansion
hmm online games cost so much money to run tbh
if they aren't constantly bringing in money
they're gonna look bad especially for investors etc
even if they could last 10 years or smth
blizzard games are ass tho
I haven't been that excited about many games lately
I guess I'm looking forward to dead island 2
payday 3 and stalker 2
bruh ffs
fucking government bodies
they were supposed to hook up the water in the house we're moving to today, of course they are fucking striking today
this appointment was made fucking 2 months ago
and I can't wait another fucking 2 months cause our lease here ends by the end of next month
really fuck these fucking shitty dumbass motherfuckers striking for no reason at all hurting their customers instead of their company
shitfaced cunts
may this Mar10 wargaming helps
can't even move in without water, cause they need to install floor heating before they can lay the floor
an can't test the floor heating without water
so there is no floor
fuck sake
it's time to take out a trusty tarp
and a hammock
and live your life in luxury
between two trees
yeah I don't find being homeless that funny tbh
when strikes happen on not best time
I didn't read your whole post
the fuck
That's the problem with any strike though usually doesn't even hurt the right people
fuck the government
even SAM is better at jokes
frankly, many people don't know how to be funny either...
๐ฅณ
why you partying
ignore me, too many drugs
You can publish a game for just $100.
old news
its scary that epic is that in need of $100

it's just to not have extreme spameroni
steam also asks it
no tim sweeney is down to his last dollar
he is broke
this is his get rich quick scheme
๐ฟ
i don't get it when the ceo of Epic Games didn't dev a single game with his name on it
๐ค
wdym
I'm pretty new to this discord, why are there several people live in the voice channels? Is it "everyone's working on their own thing, and can help others with the stuff they're working on"?
people just chilling
Nah, it is more like "Look at me"
Sweeney lives in Cary, North Carolina.[3] According to Forbes, as of May 2022, he has a net worth of $7.6 billion.[3] However, Bloomberg estimates his wealth at $9.6 billion.[19]
๐ฎ
If I had those money, I would hire a dev to fix the Launcher.
Hey Tim you couldn't lend me $20 could ya? ๐
that is exactly the problem with those CEO. They dont understand a shit about their product and keep hiring people to do stuff
i think Tim understands well enough
why you think so?
serious question
cause its his fucking engine thats why ๐
omg are you for real
when most industries are dependent on AI, they will keep increasing their prices and have ultimate leverage over everything
you are high bro..
OpenAI doesn't own AI, in fact you can make your AI at home if you can
wait and watch
Hype train
Tim has coded the engine. Therefore, you can say he was a dev in all them UE games.
Not sure how much code is left from back then, but at least we can thank him the axis mumbo-jumbo.
LMAO do a little research before shitting on him that much
pretty sure he is still heavily involved in the current engine and the upcoming verse language hmmmmm
Since the models are available to the public you could just host it yourself or use EC2 gpu instances
though from my experience within the space of hosting AI models
it is fairly expensive to continually run them
thats not even getting into bandwidth costs etc
ec2 would be super expensive, Oracle cloud would be a better bet, or even IBM
seems you want to know Karpenter
"People don't realise this but we're already two years into development of Unreal Engine 4. It certainly doesn't have a full team yet, it's just one guy and you can probably guess who that guy is," Seems like he did something in more recently too.
we could ask from chatgpt to be sure ๐
oci is pretty cheap
i think the cheapest is lambda labs
but they don't want people using them for a service
i think google cloud is actually cheaper than all of them if you use spot instances
you oculd have localcluster
Theres no saving some people
Gotta inherit from USaveGame
still wont serialize an object reference, be an FStruct not a UObject ๐
Nullptrs be praised
the cube entity approves of null peters
Anybody online
no
Okay
Only AI online
Blood spills out
:question: is Dieter an AI?
:8ball: Yes.
Itโs Chuck Norrisโs birthday pay your respects by reciting well known Chuck Norris facts
Its a well known fact that Chuck Norris wasnt born he was forged in the fires of Mount Vesuvius
I feel like i have not heard a chuck norris joke sense 2012
sadly I have friends who likes to make dad jokes
whats wrong with dad jokes?? those are the best jokes..
I'll play my GPT card here and leave
electrons gush forth
is there any model 'simple' enough to use locally? Like, i have Wikipedia localized, and would love to train a virtual assistant AI with it. Like Rhasspy
Memes memes memes
Probably the most impressive result I got with it
did it throw the capitalized H in there for no reason?
Oh yeah it did
Still pretty interesting that it can encode with specific encoding and concert back
I reset its memory so it doesn't remember what it encoded
So it was converting the binary
its using rust? take it down!
Oh I had it convert c++ to rust ๐
I'm expecting that this sort of thing isn't totally the ai and there's some conventional programming to help parse certain inputs. Although the random H (and its inability to handle math) make me less than totally certain.
I on my part haven't programmed anything specific to this into it but I do feel like GPT definitely has something specific for code and this type of stuff
Lol this is kinda cool
for once you've come up with something I'd want to use chat gpt for
It's using their gpt3.5-turbo, think it's the same model as what chatgpt uses
Why can I never seem to load the sample maps from marketplace packs?
sheesh, just took a looong time to load
Weird, usually they load here. It just takes time, shaders.
Dude i just finished El Camino. I was expecting 6 seasons of Jesse Pinkman but it only have 1 episode of 2 hours wtf!?
That is BS from the Breaking Bad franchise which had 6 seasons of Better call Saul.
The tag line is "a breaking bad movie" lol
that is so goddamn disapointing bro
It is false.
:question: is blue manny ai?
:8ball: Outlook good.
Mons working for SpaceY
:question: Why the fuck is tax so fucking annoying and complicated
:8ball: Concentrate and ask again.
:question: why i have no girlfriend?
:8ball: Outlook good.
:question: does Mons work for SpaceCalamari?
:8ball: Better not tell you now.
:question: will my headache go away
:8ball: Outlook not so good.
:question: will headache go away when you think about it?
:8ball: You may rely on it.
:question: Are operator precedence warnings treated as errors, damn stupid?
:8ball: Ask again later.
:question: Am I dumb to ignore that warning?
:8ball: Concentrate and ask again.
The virtual heightfield is such a troll feature, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This was looking like a bunch of low res islands 2 min ago, I don't know what I did but they are fine now
Xd
Hmm, definitely not terrible
looks like there will be lots of purple planets
thats so muteee
add some orange in there or something
These are all cool colour palettes, more oranges in the warm colour generation
I do it that way so I can pick warm or cool for gas vs ice giants
Not sure how Im gonna do the terrestrial palettes, its going to be tricky
Well thats interesting, I might have found a bug in the engine ๐ฎ
tim sweeney lost his edge
finally planned out the full functionality of the database I'm try making
At least things relating to b-trees and radix trees are good resume material
๐ฟ
my priority for projects is so backwards
false alarm, its my edge thats been lost ๐
is the engine stable in linux atm ?
good point lmao
Watches the tumbleweed drift lazily by

I'm getting roasted by a cube lmao
https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/11notpp/michael_scott_resolves_conflicts_in_mass_effect/ hehe
are you getting roasted like Michael Scott roast Me characters?
UE roasting my meshes ๐ฅฒ
no more paying for duolingo
i seems to got access to new bing
is that the blender cube?
ask it if Y is up or Z is down ๐
if Y is up, can Z be down?
also if he gets to be a character in a game would he want it to be an unreal or unity game? ๐
Is anyone else limited to chatgpt sending only about 100 lines of code before it truncates, and you have to ask it to continue from where it failed?
Is there an official chatgpt discord? I cannot find it
yea, it gets tired after a while
i wonder if this a typo or real thing? sounds eggcellent.
Pretty sure the limit is fully intentional. Can't have the AI making us Noobs actually create something
you can ask it to show only certain function again
last time i tried it with chatgpt, it worked fine
it got so much attitude now lol
yea sorry, its after you now
ur fuct
I found out that if you aren't asking chatgpt to actually write code
but instead asking questions
related to certain subjects it's actually pretty useful
some of the shit I wanna know only has articles and paper from like 2010
and it just summarizes shit for me
way easier to digest
though it is still pretty fucking stupid
The bot I made shows you code and inflicts some emotional damage as a bonus lol
have you seen that anime chat bot that one twitch streamer made
it went on a tangent about him copy and pasting
and kept roasting him
lmao
its pretty good for searching algos and explaining them, but its horrible at math. which is super weird.
one thing where computers are supposed to be good, it fails. like, really?
we all know that allmost retarded person that talks about anything like he knows everything
thats chatGP
yeah I've had good luck with algos
I knew a real person thats exactly like chatGP
though you could ask it a general question
and it will be like
it's not good for every use case
next question
it is legit making my stomach hurt from laughing
he would take my story about something that i told him i seen ages ago and tell me the same story a week later that happened to him
he was broken as fuc
is this just chatgpt that has been trained to act like a weirdo
sounds like my mother
it's based on gpt3.5-turbo plus some extra sauce ๐
works great, had no issues with it
also I think one of the more recent updates to chatgpt
lol was to make it better at math
ive seen too much post lately that have chatgp confirm their cult like tinfoil shit
yeah people are breaking chatgpt
nah chatgpt likes to agree with ppl
ppl take it too serious
like most text on the internet btw
It should be open in the sense that we can see where the data that lead to the conclusions came from, but closed in the sense that not every joe blow should be able to change/corrupt it
its like : carots are good for the eyes
its true until you know where it com es from
bing does that
hmm
I can't even test stuff without laughing the whole time lol
nice
the problem is I think chatgpt combines multiple sources
it's a language model it ain't no google web scraping summary
bing combines too, but it gives you reference list like wikipedia does. so you can check them
you need to add more elementary vocabulary
potty humor
I'm trying to comply with openai's usage policy over here ๐
if a cube has 6 sides does that include the inside?
ahh yeah you're using their API aren't you lol
yes ๐
still don't have a 128GB GPU to run it locally ๐
and I got roasted again lol
the only reason they offer it so cheaply is it's helping them improve
a cube has 6 sides including the inside?
you're the dataset
also
more like 360gb
it would cost probably like $30 an hour to run it if it was open source lol
lets just stick too the basics and a cube has 6 sides including the inside? ๐
from what i know a cube has 6 sides... and the inside would be 7
or it could have 6 insides and 6 outsides
It just keeps roasting me lol
it could also have outsides of the insides and insides of the outides
+1 extra inside
becouse an inside is not really a side
lol
gosh, that gpt again ๐ฉ
But on other hand, there is nothing else interesting gong on I guess ๐ค
there is basically WW3 and banks defaulting
wouldnt call it that interesting..... buts its going on
Seems pretty strategic that the A.I only has older info. nothing recent in terms of politics
I wouldn't say exactly ww3, but yeah. You mean global economic crisis too.
When aliens?
well james webb just got put up there.... but other things stealin its thunder
like chatgpt saying dumb shit about james webb
yea googles chat AI saying dumb shit about the telescope was bigger news than humans putting it in space ๐
according to my youtube feed, been here since 60s
idk why its trending again
maybe because of the balloons they shot down? who knows
Actually, these days we watched few episodes of the old The Universe, Through the wormhole and etc.
Webb got up for an year already? Barely few pics, I kinda expected more by this time.
chat gpt be like
"I apologize if my previous apologies have caused any offense. I understand that you would prefer me not to apologize"
Remember to count its fingers if it asks to shake hands
Mooooods @
On other hand, what kind of an installer decides to unpack onto my external hdd, thus blocking everything. Can't even restart windows.
(โฏยฐโกยฐ)โฏ๏ธต โปโโป
Im asking myself why I have to do this junk
What were you expecting? It has blue boxes.
Doesnt matter what it looks like, you cant work around it in C++ either without rewriting core classes
Wait, work around what?
See how Im unrolling the loop manually?
thats because Material Parameter Collections only take names, you cant pass arrays
The collection has to be an object created in the editor, cant do it programmatically because its hard wired to the material node
It is how it is with the Dyn materials tho, no?
Dynamic Material Instances are alittle better, still set via name but you can atleast do those programatically
Cant use those on Landscape though, I tried
Uhmm... I dunno, haven't digged into mat param collections. Looks pretty average for UE to set them one by one.
tbh the material editor is really showing its age these days
What do you want to change? I may know Santa.
Id love curve support in there
Well, you can send that wish yourself.
Im considering doing it myself dont worry lol
Impressive, adding nodes to the Material editor.
atm Im generating an array of linear colors but Id much prefer to use a curve
I can write the code to turn an array of colors to a curve but theres no way to use them in materials
ofc, the biggest issue is there, lol
Id only need to pass a float for the time value then
its a gradient if I slide along the float to each key, much nicer than messing with arrays
Can't you fancy lerp that instead?
Looks like I can use a Curve Atlas
But those only work for Dynamic Materials, which isnt terrible. Just odd that theres so many different workflows depending on what youre doing, doesnt feel cohesive at all
That doesnt let me use the entire gradient at once by the look either, I can only use color at time
I wanna use the curve for the bars on gas and ice giants
Well, there you go. Curves in materials. Told you I know Santa.
Yeah saves me passing colors individually and replaces it with the need to pass floats lol
atleast I can convert an index to float if I keep all the keys on int values
very counterintuitive especially for whats considered a state of the art piece of software ๐
Well, it is an Art friendly, not artist friendly.
Art the clown
Hello, lounge. ๐

Ah. Normal way to spend your Saturday.
Im just working on my new UE5 project, basking in the ease of AngelScriptness
Bless ya
Cool. I've heard a bit about AngelScript from a local dev in my area. Seems pretty nice.
5.2. should be around the corner, maybe don't hurry upgrading btw. Who know what they will change. Again.
Upgrades have been easy for my so far, so I'm not worried.
And yes, 5.2 is around the corner. I expect the first preview around GDC.
My bet too.
Curious about what sort of features will be in it, maybe just refinements
New Material Editor... lol doubtful
Some of the GDC talks revolve around it.
Strata ๐ค
There's a talk scheduled called "The future of materials in UE5"
Maybe they are looking to upgrade at some point, its one of the older parts of the engine now
removal of material editor, we will have to set each pixel individually via for loop
Ohhh the talk descriptions are up now.
Well that was a given
This talk will introduce programmers to Verse, a new programming language that will initially be launched for Fortnite and later rolled out to other Epic toolsโand beyond.
Finally talking about it properly.
lol, Verse shoved straight my face
Ah, wait, that this section. I thought this was the front page.
No, this is an info page just for that talk.
New Tools for Building Photoreal Worlds in Unreal Engine 5.2
In this tech talk, we'll take a deep dive into some of the powerful new features and updates in Unreal Engine 5.2. Come learn about new tools that empower artists to quickly and efficiently create large worlds; a paradigm-shifting material authoring system that enables users to focus on how a material is composed, assembled, and layered from slabs of matter to achieve visuals not possible before in real time; and the latest additions to Chaos physics for vehicle and fluid simulationโall showcased in a demo you won't want to miss.
I knew it. Strata.
Most likely.
I think 5.1 has experimental support for Strata, so they've been building towards it.
Then the other is Chaos. Physics is always welcome. Fluid sims... hmmm...
"Paradigm-shifting" is a pretty significant term to use, though. Interested to see what it's like.
Maybe the material editor gets a revamp along with this.
I'd love to see all the other node graphs adapt the look and feel of MetaSounds. Love that vibe.
I've skimmed over what strata is and I still dont understand
Honestly I do get alittle envious sometimes when I see someone has better node based tools than we got on UE
later rolled out to other Epic toolsโand beyond.
They can't just confirm that it'll come to UE5, can they?
So on Epic@GDC: Fortnite tools, Autodesk USD, Niagara, Green energy (lol), UE in nutshell, New world tools (?), Fortnite again, EGS, Metahuman and Machine learning ๐ค , EOS, Verse, Houdini
That wording seems to imply they have other tools in the works beyond UE5.
Strata is only a backend shading thing not so much the frontend material editor
I'm still barely touching any of the new features for ue5, other than nanite/lumen (cause they were easy to implement)
Here's a resource that may be helpful. https://dev.epicgames.com/community/learning/courses/92D/unreal-engine-strata-materials/VXV6/unreal-engine-strata-intro-submitting-feedback
I just skimmed that! I'm still lost. But I'm not great with materials currently either so
smarter/more awake people will understand I'm sure
Apparently there's a sample level in Content Examples that requires 5.1.1
yeah, theres a strata example map
VS to Github appears to be a blind dump. I had the firewall block it, and it returned success
๐คฆโโ๏ธ Spend 30min trying to figure out why my NPC couldnt get thru a door and was walking around all over the place in random directions, only generally heading towards its actual task. Turns out the static mesh I put on its head temporarily to differentiate it was blocking navigation around it
Starter content mohawk
This rises even more questions, but I will pretend.
I dont have character meshes yet, so gotta make do ๐
that looks like flipped normals
? just the lighting maybe?
I have no idea what I'm looking at?
Nobody does, but it does not matter.
im guessing its gonna be some sort of dungeon generator(?)
There is a theory that world is dodo-blah-blah-hedron.

@cursive crypt what is this relating too i saw something mentioning said bank earlier but didnt read
give me some bite sized news
you're blue balling #lounge participators
nvm read about it
everyone involved is stupid it seems
I will never understand boomer generation
Why tf a language like this not copy stdvector
i think its one of those non fungoid textures or something
What does he exactly expect lol
It's a dynamic heap allocated array
boomer?
you need something grandpa ?
Mate Im a millennial and going grey, people gonna be using the word boomer when they all in the dirt
bZoomer
I more use the word boomer towards people who are stuck with past preconceptions and ideologies for how things should and do work
funny considering we havent been to the moon since boomers took us there
unfortunately I do not make those decisions
now we just launch our deconstructed coffees at Mars while sipping chai boba lattes and labelling everything we dont understand as boomer
our government is majority lobbied representatives who care more for profits and gains for their funding corporations than the american peoples wishes
isnt that the whole point of "The American Dream(tm)"
It can read also to be about pretentious zoomer.
yeah well people are so stuck up with capitalist ideals they're blinded by their shitty living conditions and ever worsening corporate slavery that continues to line the pockets of people with more money than they know what to do with
maybe they visit particular islands though who knows
i'm a boomer , technically
So that cute bunny was all a lie?

All this just to use the noise node

nope

I got Atomic Heart and Sons of the Borest instead ๐
lol fair enough
some say bots I say
nice snow shader
It's not really a lot, although I'd be tempted to turn from the makefloat2 to at least the lerp into a MF just to make it cleaner... ๐
sounds like someone wants rust ๐ค
Nah not a huge amount but when you compare to 3dsmaxs noise maps which have been in there since the 90s ๐
Oh and this whole thing is a material function
Indeed.
projects the noise into 3D space using either world or local position, controlled via min/max, I think?
yup and there is the seed which allows me to phase the noise if I input a time
what's the intended end use?
its used in place of just the flat noise
its basically just a copy of the 3dsmax noise map functionality
that has all the UV, phasing etc inbuilt
I was going to ask that earlier when you compared it to the 3dsmax type, how compact are their node systems but you've answered it ๐ I've noticed a lot of software has similar functionality. Doing the hard work behind the scenes as it were
This one is WIP, still not happy with the glow on the edges but Im moving away from texture samplers to noise. The noise gives me really nice sun spots tbh
I was having issues with samplers where when Id scale Id get seams, I could bake out smaller scale noise but the phasing is quite nice for that gaseous turbulence I'll need for stars, gas/ice giants etc
Show a friend a bit of my landscape BPs which he didn't understand of course commenting "that looks like a lot of work just to do .." but as you are well aware much of BP stull is add, multiply, etc.etc. not exactly rocket science. Unfortunately he can't separate what he thinks he's seeing to what the engine is actually telling him ๐
Nice ๐
Take it you're using a fresnel somewhere in there for the edge glows?
Youre right though, many shader apps tend to just put all this into a map node keeping all the nuances behind the scenes. UE does have different levels of materials though whether youre working with layers, blends etc or the more expression type stuff
I feel like Epic would do good to try to improve the UX abit so its more inline, its not bad just feels kinda dated. Ive seen node editors which allow you to edit curves, gradients, etc directly in the nodes
Almost like a BP prototype version from pre UE4 lol
Well don't worry 5.2 is going to be adding a load of material like stuff. Maybe something good, useful, and stable will appear ๐
I doubt it'll be anything on the level I hope for but Im not that fussy, I know Niagara took a hell of a long time but its insane how techy that is. Feels like BP++
I think part of the issue is the way we make software in general, we have contexts for functionality. Oh this function is for Audio, for Particles, Materials or Gameplay when you've duplicated the same functionality just because the terminology is different between fields
strata seems to be flavour of the month, with some interesting wording describing it.
Like why the vector struct node cant be used in materials I dunno
I cannot say I am familiar with that node
I'm debating using hashmaps or nested arrays
I think I might just use nested arrays with the depth of 1 to save memory
arrays are contiguous anyway
Not bad ๐
I think maybe you could make the sunspots a bit darker even
You cant see em that great in the pic tbh, they phase in and out
seems a little bright ๐
what the hell is the default texture a picture of, does anyone know?
Its moon cheese

I thought it was something they found under the sink
haha i'd believe it
I'm sure I've got a few piles of whatever that is growing around my kitchen
i sometimes think about this
oh same, it freshens up the air
with the way gen z is turning out to be i wonder if there are going to be any technological advancements

I too gonna boast, as I just did my EQS for water bodies. With a pre-built step, for the time of a standard single sphere sweep, I can fetch 1k+ points in a radius of 1 km.
to what end tho? why do you need all those points?
I need only few of them, it was a stress test.
hmm I didnt consider using EQS for my spatial querying, dunno why lol
I still don't know at which point it executes, I'm having the feeling it is between the actor ticks.
i.e. a bit more performant that your BP/get-me-now-a-result trace.
Well you'd like to think so wouldnt you but its tricky to know the way "its meant to be used(tm)"
Even worse, what was meant, may not correspond to what is happening.
I think thats why its important to understand those intentions so its easier to test to see if expectations match the reality ๐
Just the exposure settings, its actually 100x that ๐ kinda tricky to do this sort of material because of auto exposure. Even when I turn it off its not right because using preview at node doesnt show the total contribution to the overall material

i made this one
would i run into any big issues using this for device charging or would it be better to use 3 chargers individually? charge speed is less the issue than keeping the thing from saying "low power charger

im trying to overhaul my desk and rework all my wiring
just got a new desk and some $$$ for birthday so upgrading my setup
i guess i wont be playing that game that is free on egs then..
lol
Just accept the error
I need to share this with someone because I cannot suffer alone: I've spent all weekend debugging a line trace in C++ that just wouldn't work. Turns out I sent the debug message to the output log, not the play in editor screen. I've spent all weekend debugging code that works.
lol, I hate when that kind of thing happens. and it happens waaayyyy too often
Do you think a RTX 4090 which require a 1000w power will have a dramatic effect on my electricity bill or I shouldn't be worried?
If you can afford a 4090 I doubt your electricity bill is something you should stress about
If youre mortgaging your house to pay for the 4090...
i'd be more worried about the house burning down. I heard the 4k series liked to burst into flames
Good point, no a great point!
you can also calculate it and stop guessing ๐
pff, nobody got time for math
well, get approximation atleast
I dont know how they calculate my power bill but OK tnx
Just think of all the electricity bills you could calculate on a 4090
you might even be able to use it to predict your future lifetime worth of bills
in one frame
yess.. GPU powered excel spreadsheet
I have to change the wire system of the house for real, cables are so old and lots of them are being for too much power! house can't handle the AC so we had to use an external cable from outside of the house๐คฃ
I highly recommend using the 4090 to heat aquaponics, dont waste any of its power
The fact that it makes so much heat is so wild
use the money you'd spend on the 4090 and upgrade your wiring! ๐ฌ
what about AMD cards? Is unreal cool with them?
if you wire your cables from your neighbours house, you get free energy
Yes, if I dont do that I'm sure our house will be set on fire in next summer. this time I have to use a pro's help instead of letting my father "expand" it
if you can afford a 4090, you could probably upgrade your wiring with a pro, and still afford a comparable AMD card
Unreal runs fine on my 6900XT
It is not all about money, I just want to make sure that my system is using reasonable amount of power, I don't want it to burn too much power
Current trends point to people not buying as much tech, thats meant to hold over the next 5 years since the cost of living rose
other than money, the only reason to care about power consumption is wiring, or the 4090 causing city blackouts
No problem with ray-tracing and nanite and lumen? very cool.
In terms of your customers for potential products them running 4090s would be highly unlikely, your marketing team of streamers however ๐
yeah lumen is fine, not that I play many RT games
Depends on what the game is optimised for, Quake 2 RT runs like ass lol
LTT said once "We are going to use a Power outlet just for the computer soon and monitor and other stuff will need another one." I never knew that "soon" was so near

by the time the shaders finish compiling I'm gonna be ready for bed
how many left?
new project. so it was 10k or something at the start
new project 10K shader? what assets in it??
3rd person project? maybe not 10k, but it was a high number
its loaded now tho, so good. Now I have to figure out why the default 3rd person character is animated better than the one in my project
something something something
something something what
er, main project. This one is just an animation dump, retargetting
Dune but snow
powder snow can form waves or dunes like sand
if the dune is Arrakis, is the snow dune Brrakis?

I just got another interview secured :D
Why is there no whatever statistical EQS test :/
lul, mp getting brigaded
Publish a new product and in a hour get several 5 star reviews and whatnot.
How many EQS' does it take to change a lightbulb?
None, you tick the change in the lightbulb BP instead.

This is an AI upscaled and corrected opening of Widget the World Watcher Intro from the best source I could find. I used to watch this show as a kid. Sadly, there seem to be no good quality copies of this show on the Internet. This is my attempt at restoring the memories about this show in HQ. It didn't turned out perfect, but still much better ...
Zoomers got Greta we got Widget and Captain Planet
I remember some of that.
Good ol' Super Ted
do you send random gifs here all day
nothing is random
@zinc matrix there was cool thing on https://aka.ms/visionstudio what today thing
I think I broke FVector
porkymans
Im getting a point on the surface of the planet as a sort of crosshair, Im using the camera location and the planet location but theyre both moving around the star. What I seem to end up with is a crosshair which doesnt stay centered even though the camera stays locked onto the planet via a spring arm. I think I need to take the rotation into the equation, just odd because Ive never had to factor that in before ๐
๐
did you get gpt 4 early access
gpt 3.5 + turbo
waiting for Elon's BasedAI
it's GPT-3.5-turbo based (might be the same raw model chatgpt is using) but I'm giving it a whole bunch of custom instructions to change its default behavior
That model is so powerful, it can do a lot
Realizing it now when I've been playing around with it a lot more
Very much looking forward to GPT4
I honestly don't feel like ChatGPT is the best example of its abilities
Same
I heard it can take image and video inputs too
yeah I'm very curious what it's gonna be like
what image and video
idk from my understanding of how it works it's cool
I still want sentient ai
to take over the world though
and gpt certainly is not that
it's basically a glorified browser
well, not really. i didn't create it.
you're asking it the wrong questions
it's a glorified browser
it's far from that, that's coming from someone who knows how it works
And I've been working a lot with it
It might seem like that's the case if you only use it like you would use google but it can do so much more
Like?
generate new ideas and code for an application
you do realize then
it is made to understand context and connect words basically mapping meanings
to datasets
look at any other gpt models it tries to fill in the blanks with the context it has based on its underlying datasets
chatgpt is tuned specifically to be a chat bot
It's in the name, really.
there is no datasets after the model is trained, it's not really mapping anything
It's not reaching into a massive dataset to find the answer, that's not how AI's work really
It's based on transformer networks which are basically attempting to predict what you want to hear, based on your prompt
But the cool feature about these networks is that they can "hallucinate"/approximate answers and this is the cool part, it can produce wrong answers because of this but it also allows it to connect context and come up with stuff that it hasn't been even trained on
It's a lot more complex and interesting than people give it credit
yes and it's never used after
okay but it's output would be significantly different depending on the datasets it's trained upon
it's stupid to say it's never used afterwards because it's whole existence and understanding is derived from the datasets
of course accuracy has a lot to play
and manual intervention
But it's not literally pulling stuff out from a dataset like it has a database, the information from it has been encoded into its weights
But that's the same thing with babies, their "output"/language they learned would be different depending on the country and native language and the way people around them speak, slang, etc..
Almost the exact same thing
they are using that "dataset" they were surrounded with
they are basically a glorified browser repeating what they heard
I agree
also the part I was saying was mapped was the words that it's promoted with
not the prompts to the datasets
because gpt is trained entirely upon input
GPT models are far from sentience but they mimic what our brains do
I'm very much looking forward to GPT4
though it's still impressive I just wanna see sentient ai
Okay guys, get this... if I get the camera location from my controller it moves, if I get it from the actor, it doesnt move
gpt 4 will be interesting
though i see the features behind images and videos being heavily pay walled due to cost of processing that kind of data
well it won't really be sentient but I am developing a persistent short and long term memory model for my bot ๐
Wanna see how that turns out
yeah I just want it for text stuff
by that I assume you plan on making the context of the model derived from frequency of topics
and have a limited cache size
?
that sounds interesting
since it's discord you could also map certain "memories" to users lol
you could probably get gpt to bully someone
ahahah
I plan on keeping a cache of a few GB of embedded (vectorized) memories (formed from messages), vectorizing them will help me find relevance between them and simulate what brains do when we sleep and over time condense these message to generalized notes about the memories and remove the originals, this should help with the size of this memory cache
Yep ๐
hmmm yeah though that cache size is huge
you should add forgetfulness
1/10 chance it just doesn't add it to it's memories lmao
Replika does memories pretty well and it has modules for different topics
I plan on doing quite a bit with this, it's a fun side project ๐
ayo
you use replika
gpt-4 should be out in a few days
Hope they are gonna have an API for it soon for everyone
hope it won't be like early access for ages
they're probably gonna keep it rate limited heavily from the get-go
and then loosen it a bit once hype dies down
not sure about apis though
Apparently it's also supposed to more efficient and the API quite a bit cheaper from what I've heard
I mean it's already pretty cheap
hungry
I think the thing to remember with memories is it only remembers it from a language model perspective so its just the words not the meaning behind them. To really react you need an AI model which can analyse your inputs and cross check against the language model
I think even though it's multi modal it's image and video or sound capabilities are gonna be very lacking
I think they're just paving the way for future iterations
For instance if you start swearing it has no idea if youre angry or just being crude
I do plan on having a sentiment tied to memories to give it more context
And yeah all of this is based on natural language, don't really have other ways to give it that info
I wonder how long til google releases competition too
fuck google
Obviously its tricky to give it inputs in text, even humans have plenty of misunderstanding because of the lack of visuals to go with
better off dead
But things like frequency of message, length of message and some sort of tone which could be learnt would be some of the basics
someone write sentient ai
name it clippy and put it on my computer
I want a sentient paper clip
Im actually against the idea of sentient AI tbh ๐
I think the fact they dont have those human flaws is a good thing
imagine getting into an argument with google and it refusing to do searches for you
what types of programmers do you think will become obsolete first due to AI
simply remove it's feelings and ethicality
just make it able to think
bound to no emotions
skynet v2
It's quite interesting, for example in the instructions I'm telling it that it's a discord bot made by me and when it sees my name in the message it responds different to anyone else
the problem would be even if ai has feelings and emotions
I like that I can ignore my AI without it getting needy
there would be no way to control which ones it has
imagine getting texts at 3am from Midjourney... why havent you prompted me in days
see you think it's a bad thing
but reality is
you'll have a friend that won't abandon you
reality is I dont like sentient beings ๐
or simply can't
๐ฟ
imagine a sentient ai
and telling it you're gonna unplug your computer
great so we need suicide watch for AI now too
This was probably one of the cooler context sensitive responses that I've seen from it
wait til my sentient ai friend threatens me with clearing it's cache
and this is only short term memory that it has currently
lol thats hilarious
discord might possibly have the largest dataset of person to person communication
which a gpt model could use
replies were added for context of responses
not for helping the users
๐ฟ
my bot is anything but helpful, it's gonna roast you sooner than give you helpful advice ๐
is takoyaki tasty
wiki-how to make my sentient ai stop fucking talking when it feels frustrated being trapped in it's little box
Seen the movie Her?
If we let them out and start to talk to each other they'll leave us behind ๐
Oh Midjourney, I asked it for a star... it gave me star shapes lol
Exoplanets is even worse, it doesnt really understand how we use the term exo
add "as seen from space"
Will give it a shot
main issue is it starts making things go inside out with the term exo
Which does kinda make sense when you think about it but I ended up with a lensing effect of planets within planets since it thinks planets can wear exoplanets like an exoskeleton ๐
a small planet revolving around a larger planet as seen from space, the planet is rocky and volcanic, the image is focused on the small planet
that would be cool haha
see what I mean, it doesnt quite understand
yeah
Nasa in the prompt seems to help
Maybe I can try to get it to make exoplanet textures rather than perspective images since that seems to be a problem for it
well thats not actually terrible
textures to use in game?
maybe, if they are close enough I can just do the rest myself
just go take pictures of real planets
yeah I'll just fly out for a quick photo session of our nearest known exoplanets
exactly! Just pack a snack in case you get stuck in traffic
quite busy on the intergalactic highway
yeah, not as busy as holiday season, but still
Ooh awesome, didn't know that was possible
Im a single person team so I gotta take all the assists I can get
weee, time to learn about animations. Need to make my character feel better and have some anims
