That isn't true at all. That is not what killed the Mono team's efforts

Good thing I only sling blueprints then.

They changed the EULA saying that language implementations had to be under an open source licence

Yes but the Mono implementation wasn't, and it was pre-MS acquisition

Hopefully that isn't referring to that transpiler. A C# implementation with literally 0 benefits

since its the only real unreal discord why dont they just negotiate to use the offical logo <_<

hallow oracle

TBH I've seen next to no community-implemented stuff like this work out for other platforms, not sure why people would adopt it now

Kismet in UE3 was like using GIMP compered to kismet 2 being like photoshop

I honestly don't know what Kismet was and I'm afraid to ask

graceful sequoia

it was the first blueprint

fathom wadi

same as blueprints but looked like arse

worldly sapphire

How does it relate to UnrealScript

swift iris
graceful sequoia
#

and it's guts are still in there kind of

#

like blueprint is compiled with the "kismet compiler"

woven wing
#

It's a think of the past, like memory management, and C++ /s

fathom wadi
#

unrealscript was a class based coding script language based on C++ and almost like Unreal C++

viral vector

Question w.r.t. the server's incoming revenue; considering there is no meaningful maintenance cost, I assume the vast majority of income will go straight to the people running this server. Will it actually be distributed across the team, including its moderators? If not, who will the income be going to?

thorny dock
#

actually 100% of his proceeds will go to funding zbrush core mini

My only comment is that Unreal Source is confusing because both words in the name are well-known gaming engines

I can't imagine that being more than a few tenners a month though, so that's quickly covered

thick oracle
#

you're on an unreal engine discord server, you're not allowed to have opinion on what software sucks and which doesn't

To be clear, I'm all for people being paid. I just think transparency is pretty important when you're asking a community for financial support

I don't like blender so I got Maya and Max now and I hope I hate them slightly less

maya and max suck too

but

maya still king of animation

max has a few neat tools in it when it's not crashing

I also have zbrush now too but haven't even opened it yet

yeah dude Madagascar was made with max EWW

stone saddle
#

the only few tools that are dope are Zbrush, Houdini, Mari

But zbrush looks nice. It looks like sculpting clay and that's fun

thick oracle

i wonder if in 10-15 years humanity will advance far enough for us to finally produce a decent piece of software

I use all the other tools too, but i have infinite complaints about each of them lol

woven wing

And to not have my readers surprised by popups asking them to subscribe, that I didn't put there.

Because I'm too busy doing literally everything else

houdini is amazing and all but wont unreal and most free DCC overlap with a lot of houdini in the next few years?

That's just what I use. Thanks to a Russian Monk

we do not say his name

stone saddle

just don't put the uvs into the mesh and let the shader figure it out

woven wing
#

I'll try Rizom if they have a .edu 'free for students' thing

stone saddle
#

rizom has a great license model

#

subscription until you reach the amount to own it

#

then you own it

so it's like a rent to own type of thing

i do my attribute editing in spreadsheet format lol

manually inputting U and V attributes

it was a bad triplanar everything joke

woven wing

I know what a UV is, but I have no idea what a UV is

stone saddle
#

most don't in fairness lol

woven wing
#

I really need to powerlevel graphic programming for like a straight month or two

stone saddle
#

it's just a buzz word people use to describe making 3d things 2d things, but attribute data is powerful

thorny dock
#

UV's are like effort levels in pokemon. a completely invisible attribute

stone saddle
#

and learning about it unlocks so many tech art things

thick oracle
#

uvs are xy coordinates for textures.

stone saddle
#

i want to correct that answer

woven wing
#

A UV is the foil from a santa chocolate

stone saddle
#

but for most people that's a good enough answer lol

thick oracle
thorny dock
#

yeah like pack them and ???

#

everyone on twitter manually packs their islands. if you don't your not cool nor do you know what UVs are

stone saddle
#

i store relationship float data in additional UV channels since unreal doesn't like dealing with custom attribute data cleanly yet

thorny dock

according to twitter of course

I still want that easy arbitrary mesh attribute import / readout feature. UE6, please?

I remember when Quixel was a Photoshop plugin that was overshadowed by Substance Painter/Designer, how quickly things change

stone saddle
#

but they aren't fleshed out yet

mostly UX issues

you can write and read custom attribute data with it

carmine frigate

so i dont use it anymore

#

The new logo is kind of bad hmm doesn't evoke unreal to me at all, I don't even see a U I see like, I don't know, a floppy disk ?

thick oracle
stone saddle
#

but, because FBX importing is still dumb dumb, USD will likely be the format that's more robust to bring in custom attribute data correctly

woven wing

UE6 is going to lean into pathtracing hard I bet

The U needs the Flanges

When will an AI be developed to unwrap UVs

stone saddle
#

but that's not fun

river sable
#

any day now

stone saddle
#

however ai weight painting for rig weighting would be nice

thick oracle
#

blender already has a fine tool to do uv unwraps

stone saddle
#

or even retopo ai could be interesting

river sable
#

is there a "make perfect UVs" button already?

stone saddle
#

fuck blender, use Rizom

carmine frigate

hey blender doesnt think im a robot

stone saddle

that's cuz you are a robot

I luckily don't need to do that part of the pipeline anymore so I'm not really up to date on it

also, if you're a houdini user, Rizom directly hooks into it, and you can proceduralize the UV creation too

Exciting changes!

yeah i've seen the node! gonna look into rizom I guess. that license model does sound nice

the new branding is kind of bad though

While it's certainly not great for SEO I get the name

Perhaps Unreal Hub would be good for search rankings?

I don't think you can generalize on human brains activity 😂

I am more excited about the other changes!

Something about it is just kinda 'off'

icon's not a big deal lol

stone saddle
gaunt charm

you speak as if you're one of those brain plasticity survivors ? 🙂

river sable
#

the name is only confusing if you want it to be, the logo is maybe slightly confusing. but the rest of the changes are really really cool and in a few weeks we'll all have gotten used to the new name and logo and nobody will care anymore because we're getting spoiled with epic office hours

stone saddle

leave my fried egg logo alone!

I think it's the background behind the egg that throws me off

the discord ui has clearly been designed with dark mode in mind

#

also many role colors/custom emotes assume you have dark mode

Just call it Unreal LineTracers and make everyone think it's an art forum

that is very true

polygons are basically free, just vertex paint for macro texture if you want

It said it could only spin up x processes cuz ram, and I took that personally

ram is cheap now

I'm writing my own text editor now because I'm unhappy with pretty much all of them

mine was getting 64 instead of 128

a console application taking 200mb of ram is kind of sad

an OS taking 15-20% of VRAM is even sadder 😦

my discord is taking 1.5 gb... why

Any idea if Unreal Source is keeping the legacy lore from Slackers?

god, pretty sure thats a no

I also found interesting no one wanted to learn anything when there is a badass LD expert giving out free wisdom

I was taking every opportunity to learn

carmine frigate

He has Laura's programming wisdom in LD

unreal ether

CE is like 100% of my LD knowledge

timber viper

I wasnt hanging out much at lounge so wont be able to comment

I saw him tons of times while arguing though

woven wing

What's CE stand for?

discord = basically for arguing, so are forums in a way

unreal ether

he was one of the few in #animation that wasnt complete n00b 😛

timber viper
#

he had good enough programming knowledge too, not experience but knowledge

carmine frigate
#

yea did some custom controll rig stuff

timber viper
#

was able to prototype whatever he wants

unreal ether
#

Never noticed him there. Though I do like to pretend animation doesn't exist so it can't hurt me anymore

#

So that's probably why

timber viper
#

he was the animation guy

#

not CE

carmine frigate

ow, mayB i am

I kind of liked the old name more, to be honest. It was cheeky. Probably had better SEO too.

what's this about ads? do you plan to introduce them? and keep it ad-free for members only?

that would be... not good

No no, there will not be ads, but some content will be vip only

chrome gull
#

ahhh okay phew

#

what kind of content?

naive berry
#

I'm not sure

#

Scroll back and read pfist replies, he shares some interesting things

chrome gull
#

if we're talking about VIP help channels and all that

#

that's just ridiculous lmao

naive berry
#

Nah I don't think so

naive berry
#

I think the whole thing will become more tutorial oriented

chrome gull
#

I see

#

well I'll wait and see how this goes

naive berry
#

Nothing we can do about this anyways 🤷

chrome gull
#

I know, I know

bronze axle
#

I want to keep what I do there, and what we do here on Discord, independent and ad-free. I could have easily chosen to monetize with ads, sponsored content, affiliate links, etc. But I am tired of the internet being filled with that stuff.

#

So I don't want to contribute.

#

I like reader-supported publications, so that's what I'm trying to create. I think the web is better when people are paid by those they serve instead of some faceless ad network.

#

If you have any other questions about the website, feel free to ask. 🙂

I hope it was with a woman, since you hate men

I legit didn't realise the new server icon was supposed to be a U until I read it on a thread in #969360633386655744

I thought it was like the face of a robot like in portal 2 or something

unborn lotus
#

I thought it was a match

proud jay
#

wait, does this mean I have to update my blog to no longer mention slackers

#

rip, the invite link to this discord I mentioned is at least no longer valid

unborn lotus
#

it means we're not allowed to slack off, period

proud jay

my blog is just history now

#

I will update my blog for 5% of the incoming subscription money

or I can change the model to 20 cents per page load

Also i hate the new logo, it looks bad

it somehow feels more generic

#

It'd be nice if learning unreal had a hub and was no longer fucking folklore

proud jay
#

but maybe it's cause it's new

empty dune
#

@bronze axle question, have you considered maintaining a sort of "repository" of tutorials that learners could use to easily get started with unreal? Like it doesn't have to be curated, just a "here's a platform where content creators can submit their tutorial series"

proud jay
#

damn, I just bought some noise cancelling headphones for woodworking, barely even hear the cars pass by

dusky bobcat
proud jay
#

my normal headphones are quite good too though

#

Sennheiser Momentum 4

#

and they're a lot more comfortable than hearing protection 😆

#

it doesn't try to squeeze your head

empty dune
#

Like for example i once found a tutorial to do iridescent mats

#

And i found it buried deep inside epic forums

dusky bobcat
#

The noise cancelling is decent though

empty dune
#

It'd be nice if those things were easier to find. Im not saying pfist needs to go hunting, they could just have an open invitation for creators and they could just submit their videos

unreal ether
#

The only problem then is creators submitting bad videos

#

Which... is a lot of them

empty dune
#

Yeah, that's something to consider

#

I forgot people would try to game the system the moment they could

#

Sigh

proud jay
#

maybe also a bit strange to put community creations on a site that you can pay for?

#

idk

empty dune
proud jay
#

yes

#

but still you're using other's creations to more or less market your sub thing

#

lol I was sitting on the toilet and thinking, damn the postman could be here with my package any second

#

and I was done and suddenly got an email my package was delivered lol

#

he didn't even ring the bell

empty dune
#

Eh that's not really a problem in my eyes if both parties are okay with it, the real problem imo is what cuppa said, people would flood the website with submissions to try and grow their channels

#

Sigh

proud jay
#

also my mat looks like it says hell

empty dune

me neither

can we hide the frigging channel banner somehow

it won't be long before valve sues Pfist

using Source in the name

#

there's no stopping this maniac

#

Gabe was Tim all along

celest musk
#

maybe pfist is gabe

#

and this is the first step of moving the whole community towards valve/source

proud jay
#

should be called unreal Source 2 then though

#

or are we sticking with the old version

damm took me awhile to find the channel

proud jay

you can just press ctrl+k

median wraith

now is represented by the turret in portal

holy shit

it's gabe, but when you zoom it's Tim

#

theory confirmed

median wraith
#

so Tim is inside Gabe ?

proud jay
#

this is magic

#

why is the preview different from the image lol

#

is this some mip map magic

median wraith
#

pixels duplication

proud jay
#

makes sense

I see both

wait, why I didn't see any difference?

proud jay

well hevedy took a screenshot

this one works though

dusky bobcat

well for me it looks like what hevedy posted

but when I click it it's tim

oh, doesn't work on phone

Yeah, that's why I'm asking. I can't see Gabe preview

I'm using windows PC now😅

proud jay

well, then you're just blind I guess

dusky bobcat
proud jay

I kinda miss Slack tbh

#

I like it more than Teams

best chat for professional usage imo

dusky bobcat

Teams is shit

#

Their video call was the worst comparing to other major ones.

proud jay
#

who?

dusky bobcat
#

Teams video call

proud jay

it's pretty shit sometimes

much worse than meet, even no comparing to zoom

it also crashes a lot for some people

I mean most company choose Teams not for its quality, just for office 365

proud jay

indeed

#

actually it's unfair usage of market position

#

but hey

#

who cares about laws

That's typical microsoft

Bundles teams and azure with office

But my current company is not caring it. We just picked office and google suite and slack😆

proud jay
#

are you paid by slack?

proud jay
#

Teams, OneDrive, Office, Sharepoint, Azure, Outlook, Visual Studio...

slate drift
proud jay
#

I will keep quiet for a share of the profits

dusky bobcat
proud jay
#

Most of them are OK though

#

just a shame that we're forced into them

dusky bobcat
#

But if you don't care about money, just pick the best from different companies, lol

proud jay
#

not even allowed to use Rider lol

dusky bobcat
#

But I don't think company wants to pay extra for Rider which is not that cheap.

proud jay
#

but you can use your personal license if you want lol

#

and they already pay for VS anyway

#

I was willing to pay for it myself

#

such shit response

#

also dumb, cause they don't even "support" VSCode, it's just installed and use it at your own risk
