Also, the materials and the manufacturing techniques.
The design was AI generated and tested by human engineers. Rinsed and repeated.

They should learn to be responsible citizens
summer cedar
not if they're as emaciated as in that meme Janisku posted.
median wraith
Yes, in Spain there are regional rules for waste disposal, and in some places, especially in tourist or environmentally protected areas, there can be specific regulations about:
Which hours you're allowed to dispose of trash โ often to reduce smells, noise, or animal disturbances.
Which containers or types of trash go where โ recycling (plastic, glass, paper, etc.) is very organized.
Whether you can dispose of trash in a different province โ typically not illegal, but it can raise issues if:
You're dumping household waste far from your residence.
You're doing it outside the allowed hours.
You're ignoring local sorting/separation rules.
For example, in cities like Barcelona or Madrid, you might only be allowed to throw out general waste between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM. In some towns, video surveillance or neighbors reporting infractions is common.

summer cedar
Well, if they can find another alternative to 'no coding', I guess they could consider removing it.
pearl elk
Its still coding\
summer cedar
Not to the non-programmers who use it.
That's the point.
No one cares about details. It's about what it lets you do easily.
If they could put shit in a pot and make that do code, they would.
WHEN there's an easier method, Epic will replace bps for sure.
OR when there's an AI that does amazing C++ coding, they might use that instead. ๐คท
pearl elk
Not to the non-programmers who use it.
they are programmers if they use it
summer cedar
ok.
pearl elk
vibe coding is more no code than BP
all BP means is now I have to fix other peoples bugs ontop of my own

Perhaps the real lesson there is, you are meant to work alone.

summer cedar
didn't he die young?

summer cedar
Guess he became the water in him.
pearl elk
Perhaps the real lesson there is, you are meant to work alone.
possible because all BP did for my projects is create an army of "non-programmers" who didnt want to adhere to programming standards or learn how to use a repo
it was actually more efficient for them to not touch code
summer cedar
That's called being in a team, bro.
Teamwork is suffering by a different name.
pearl elk
thats not even getting into the functional problems with BP itself like the fact it relies on a class structure it doesnt need
encapsulating all that functionality in tiny classes you cant easily, diff or grep is just madness
soft night
class is all you need
summer cedar
upper or lower?
soft night
๐๏ธ

thats why Epic doesnt make games on large only 1 game and a heap of unfinished broken crap ๐

But, they're rich.

if their engine was so great at making heaps of games surely Epic would be making more games than anyone else

when it could use more scaling with class, struct and more

Disagree. If I had a great engine, I'd lease it out to others and rake in the royalties.
That's not to say I wouldn't make good features.

pearl elk
I just work with gameplay systems alot which are interconnected pieces and BP actually makes than job far worse
soft night
with bp it generate fresh mons calamaries on every tick
pearl elk
prime example is GAS and how so few people actually understand the abstractions because those concepts dont translate well at all to BP
summer cedar
I get that. But, even if BP was great, a team will always find ways to make you suffer.
I bet you are probably the more skilled dude on your team, right?
pearl elk
I had quite skilled people on my team but the artists were sold on BP being their silver bullet to not needing me
so basically generate crap broken code than blame the programmer and kick them out when they cant fix it
summer cedar
If you are more skilled at something, you'll always be pulling other people along.
And the worst part is, you'll KNOW it.
That's the primary sucky nature of teamplay.

summer cedar
windus ludus is made those lunatics
I know, but it's kind of what I mean by the middle path. It lets them integrate it into UE, and then let people 'work' on their games.
I hope I am making sense.
You sell the concept of 'human work' while an AI is doing most of the heavy-lifting, perhaps badly.
soft night
so it let people do inject attack to UE and all games made by UE?
soft night
then those who make games in UE dont own they games at all
summer cedar
then those who make games in UE dont own they games at all
I think that's the case for any AI generated content, now.
In USA and one or two countries, the courts have ruled like that.
In India, it's slightly different, but there's no major ruling yet.
They take it on a case-by-case basis.

AI generated cant be copyright, game mechanics cant be copyright, we dont need to make games anymore

Fast Geometry Streaming Plugin (Experimental)
The new plugin for static geometry ONLY.
mild gust
Good many scenes have lots of that
summer cedar
You don't say...
mild gust
Nope
warm bloom
static assets are so oldschool
mild gust
Make a game using only dynamic meshes
summer cedar
so metahumans for free for everything no lincense?
The Metahuman license has changed. You can use it with any engine or creative software, apparently.
--- You can now also speed up cooking times with Incremental Cook (Experimental), which analyzes asset changes and cooks only updates, helping you iterate faster on target devices. ---
Who wants to test this out and possibly burn their project? ๐
Release notes.
summer cedar
Finished.
๐ค Would Renderer Parallelization benefit the packaged game project? Or just the editor engine?
soft night
i might watch state of unreal as my going to sleep medicine
summer cedar
Those will be chats, seminars, etc. etc.
soft night
where ai is said is how i fell sleep fast
summer cedar
It's inevitable. I'm a parrot for saying this, but Ludus is probably leading the race for UE's AI.
summer cedar
Also, how is a dev supposed to remember ALL those plugins?
mild gust
What about NeoAI
summer cedar
You need an AI assistant.
mild gust
It may get integrated right into ue
summer cedar
Ok, so I asked this before.
mild gust
Oh i forgot they have all the new templates now don't they
If you download c++ they all come in one project
summer cedar
Is this just for UE editor or packaged project?
mild gust
Blueprint they seperated them
mild gust
Ok, so I asked this before.

Virtual shadow maps ๐ค
Substrate in beta in 5.6.
Apparently, it will replace the default shading models and blend modes in the future.
Intewesting. Two FOV settings now.
One for first person and another for others.

median wraith
so hows performance doing ?
hallow shuttle
anyone got the metahuman for maya plugin to run? the moment i load the plugin it crashes both maya 2023 and 2024 on my end
summer cedar
I am loading Build a Detective's Office Garage.
Just to check the performance.
Initial loading times are awesome.
@mild gust Check Landscape - Batched Merge
summer cedar
I think that'd be useful for your large landscape projects.
mild gust
I think that'd be useful for your large landscape projects.
Soonish
Those are all experiments ofc
summer cedar
they claim to have solved out of memory issues for large landscapes.
mild gust
Did they hire the M4 guy
summer cedar
No clue. Apparently, it works with basic landscape edits and landscape patches plugin.
BP brushes need to be updated to use batch merge for landscapes.
warm bloom
im ngl the first person template is rather disappointing
it has really bad character mesh clipping too
mild gust
Yeah I miss the old one tbh
Apparently they did some fps rendering beta thing, https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/unreal-engine-5-6-release-notes#firstpersonrendering(beta)
warm bloom
the animations also blend poorly
mild gust
Hope they fix it
summer cedar
so hows performance doing ?
I ran the 1GB Detective project.
Everything moves zip-zip in the viewport.
Satisfied.
summer cedar
It's an apartment building with a single floor as a detective's office.
Fireplace, sunlight shafts, etc. etc.
median wraith
Apparently they did some fps rendering beta thing, <https://dev.epicgames.com/do...
that's technically a sub version of the panini projection
they did in the engine core
summer cedar
Now trying City Subway Train Modular.

link me that, because idk what pack is that
summer cedar
link me that, because idk what pack is that
median wraith
ohhh okay
mild gust
I like this new guy already
median wraith
meanwhile me bootin g the 4.27 content examples to check some math
summer cedar
ohhh okay
Subway works smoothly, too.
Task Manager says resource usage is quite low.
cursive crypt
meanwhile me bootin g the 4.27 content examples to check some math
I still keep 4.27 too, it is nice and stable. A lot of stuff needs to migrate from it also.
warm bloom
the variants for the first person are actually fine but the base template is worse than old first person template
warm bloom
definitely is the lack of sound
warm bloom
you testing with the geometry thingy
primal summit
ash pile in 3, 2, ...
mild gust
Time to try Dark Ruins Megascan map.
Run City Sample
summer cedar
Total waste. ๐
summer cedar
Actually, it's a great project to test the geometry plugin.
mild gust
Also good benchy
summer cedar
I wonder if the Strix Halo adjustable GPU VRAM will provide BIG benefits.
summer cedar
I could do that.
mild gust
Support Epics sponsor
summer cedar
OR I could needle Blue Man to test it out for us.
mild gust
Heard he needs a new laptop
summer cedar
I see a problem for older UE projects.
mild gust
Why
summer cedar
There's a Swarm plugin cannot be loaded error for converted old projects, now.
Any quick fix for that?
mild gust
I don't have such issues
mild gust
Like converted 5.5 projects?
summer cedar
It'll convert. But, if it was built in UE 4-5.1 something, it'll have that swarm error for lights.
Like, the project works and all.
BUT, you can't build lights.
mild gust
Well Swarm was a thing
summer cedar
Yeah.
warm bloom
mild gust
๐คท It's on 5.6 documentation
summer cedar
BUT, I am not getting that in my projects.
Just the older Fab ones.
Let's see if it happens with Dark Ruins.
mild gust
Search the docs for deprecated
No mention anywhere
I wouldnt believe everything on forums
I don't see them removing swarm
summer cedar
I don't see them removing swarm
Documentation isn't reliable, it seems:
--- If you've identified the machines that you'd like to use, and if you've installed UE4; you're ready to set up Swarm Coordinator by following these steps: ---
From documentation.
It's for UE 4.
๐
Forum boys were right.
summer cedar
I guess they believe in adding content, not removing old docs.
Fun times.
Any way, the project builds and runs, so no loss.
I guess, just redoing the lights would be fine in those cases.
Not that I need to do any such thing. I am just testing shit. ๐
7 more GB to go.
Then, I'll burn my rig.
๐ฅ
mild gust
This is 5.6 already too, https://www.fab.com/listings/d79688f5-29be-4fb2-a650-2d4a813f5306
If you really wanna burn rig
mild gust
Heavier than the other one
summer cedar
I think they just add it - the tag I mean.
mild gust
They lie
summer cedar
We have to deal with the problems.
BUT, it was designed in 5.2. So probably post-swarm.
mild gust
The anim retargeting for scaling is awesome
mild gust
Don't believe the 5.6 tag.
It's installing for 5.6
mild gust
Then be broken af
mild gust
About 50% of my assets are still 5.4
summer cedar
The only kink I have found SO FAR, is that swarm thing.
warm bloom
my dark ruins is stuck at 92%
mild gust
My epic launcher broke too
summer cedar

Me Fab is fine.
It hates j00. ๐
First to the Dark Ruins.

Hoo rah!

I got 10tb
warm bloom
im already loading it possibly

It's fine
summer cedar
stuck at 87%?
summer cedar
That's when it trims the project.

Lol Witcher 4 thing is now a tech demo. It's not supposed to be features of the game
summer cedar
No worries. If it runs at 60 FPS, people will pay $100.
shader compiling is much faster.
Thanks Epic.
Of course, to compensate for this, every cooked project will wipe out an SSD.

mild gust
1 hour for electric dreams
Sad
I did not have vault for that one
New version anyways so wouldnt matter
warm bloom
shader compiling is much faster.
it is
summer cedar
CPU at 100% loading stuff in editor.
Temperature at 80C and fluctuating between 79-80.
Fractal Torrent FTW.
mild gust
There is many code changes for city sample
Its dead
Not worth my time to fix anyways
summer cedar
Ok. Verified. My PC is awesome. ๐
Interesting.
I can move around the viewport at full speed while assets are being streamed in.
๐คฃ Path Tracing view basically stutters the engine.
mild gust
Hope so

Are lesarts environments good?
I always see them on sale but Noone makes comments about them
median wraith
watching the witcher 4
there is something strange the game don't looks like olders looks like all the ue games
the tonemapping or something
summer cedar
Do megascan projects use 4k textures by default?
mild gust
Some of them
summer cedar
That would explain a bit of the streaming time.
mild gust
I've imported some solo raw ones and they had 8k
summer cedar
Anyway, works smoothly.
mild gust
Think trees have 16k
summer cedar
No, I haven't enabled it.
I am not sure I even need it. The scene is moving so smoothly.

"Niagara Heterogeneous Volumes"
Is unreal unwoke now?
What a month to release this /s
summer cedar
be happy they weren't drag volumes. ๐ /s
okay, froze my editor trying to cancel building.
cursive crypt
Are lesarts environments good?
Mediocre in general.
But depends on your goal, can do the job.
median wraith
the rendering for all the NPCs is impressive
the foliage isn't
I mean it looks awesome but that isn't a dense forest
summer cedar
wait for that 300+ billion poly project guy to update his project.
queen isle
Rigged trees are goode because it makes trees branches interactable?
cursive crypt
mmm nah
