Can I still do it? People understand me on the phone and stuff, so why wouldn't the player?
solar nebula
Yeah! You have to learn to work around your speech issues. I mean, if your game isn't very serious, then you can just do your best, but with a lot of VA practice you can probably overcome whatever issues you might have
zinc matrix
well let me tell ya something
When i was in 5th grade i wasnt understandable AT ALL. Not even by family
now im 21 and people can understand me
not best but they can
solar nebula
But you have to understand that voice acting is acting
You don't speak like you speak as normal when you do voices
zinc matrix
i understand that
solar nebula
You gotta act. I'm not much of an actor and everyone has kinda their own way of getting into character
But you gotta forget that it's yourself, gotta forget about your speech issues (if you can't get rid of them, you're gonna have to make them part of the character)
When you're writing the script, it's probably best to actually play it out with your friend on discord
You don't have to voice act or anything, just read the lines to each other
That'll make you quickly realize which lines sound really stupid and awkward before you involve voice actors

I once saw a guy with a terrible stammer have brain surgery whilst he was awake. As they prodded parts of his brain, his speech got worse until it was just a mumble. So they prodded another part and it cleared up a little, they went further and his speech completely cleared up. It was one of the trippiest things I've ever seen on the internet.
https://youtu.be/nVvuGaIMvQI?t=103 example of deep brain stimulation on a tumor patient. Literally turns the guy's speech off for a moment.

i did, asked every few days. no response
signal citrus
whats the deal with the material
pearl elk
It doesnt work
signal citrus
ah one of those
pearl elk
I think maybe if you pay it more that'll be a good deal
solar nebula
@zinc matrix what is the material supposed to do
zinc matrix
its supposed to add all the normal, albedo, etc but none of it shows up only the normal mat. I know its not on my part since the starter materials dont even work.
alpine fern
gonna need screenshots here
solar nebula
Yes. But also that doesn't sound like a very exciting question
zinc matrix
see how that has some parts poking out
pearl elk
Okay continue
zinc matrix
nothing pokes out
solar nebula
What is supposed to poke out?
Can you try putting this material onto an object on a scene and putting a point light next to it?
signal citrus
It might be that that square is much larger and thus pokes lessessns?
solar nebula
What is supposed to poke out?
zinc matrix
the grey part you can see it in the icon
solar nebula
solar nebula
What I see in your thumbnail is a perfect sphere with some bump mapped material
zinc matrix
yea, only part that shows what its supposed to look like
solar nebula
I don't see anything poking out
Can you place this material onto a sphere and then put a point light next to it in the actual scene?
zinc matrix
poke=bumps
solar nebula
Not in the model viewer?
signal citrus
theres nothing that would make it poke out there
solar nebula
I feel like you're looking at the model under directional light (which doesn't emphasize normals as much as a point light would for example) and kinda giving up halfway
zinc matrix
nope
solar nebula
Can you put the material on a scene with a pointlight near it and screenshot it in higher resolution?
signal citrus
model preview in general is not a great preview thing, its all hdri lookup
zinc matrix
point lights, spot lights, directional lights

zinc matrix
i did a tutorial awhile back that showed how to make a brick material that has bricks pushed out, tried to make it but couldn't find out the reason it just kept showing up as a normal mat like nothing changed. asked about it no response so....
still absolutely no idea
signal citrus
depa dipita dapada
solar nebula
@zinc matrix you need to have either a tessellated material or a material with parallax mapping for things to "push out"
zinc matrix
nope, im almost a 100% its neither of those
pearl elk
I googled pokey materials for unreal engine 4 and found nothing ๐ฆ
solar nebula
@zinc matrix you need it to be one of those lol
If you want something to "poke out", you have to, wait for it, explicitly tell the GPU that it has to poke out in one or other way
Alternatively, you can still make things look like they "poke out" with fakery and tricks
pearl elk
normals only give an illusion of pokiness through lighting, they are not actual geometry so at certain view angles they fail
zinc matrix
nah but the premade materials would still show that pokiness because there is no room for error since i have never touched them.
solar nebula
There is no pokeyness. You're seeing things that aren't there
Your thumbnail has vivid normals but no pokeyness effects on it
You want me to give you a pixel by pixel breakdown of how it's still a sphere and it's just normals?
zinc matrix
alright what about this, i followed this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rLGNCqJs_E, didnt work
pearl elk
I think some of the starter materials have tessellation, displacement, maybe parallax
zinc matrix
or in starter content "M_Brick_Clay_New" has bricks poking out
solar nebula
I glanced through tutorial and I didn't find any materials that poke out
I don't remember every starter material but I think there is one brick material that has pokeyness explicitly specific in it
In an awkward way, but it has a simulation of parallax
Your sphere pixels are all just that - a sphere. There is no parallax effect here
zinc matrix
open it real quick
solar nebula
Open what?
I don't have any starter content on my machine. I use a custom version of the engine xD
pearl elk
yeah its just the best way to show normals cuz you get a variety of view angles, on a flat surface normals always look crap ๐
solar nebula
Show me the material graph of the brick material that stands out
zinc matrix
alright i think that that pokiness was a bad word for the situation
solar nebula
Here, a material that pokes out
zinc matrix
parts of the material would "poke" out, like a dirt would have slight indents and maybe so abnormalities on top of it
solar nebula
You can quickly switch between both pictures to see the parallax effect
Oh wait
No, this sucks. Just going to have to do with that one pic ๐
Is this the kinda pokeyness you wanted?
@zinc matrix is this the effect you wanna achieve?

Man receives $3,500 medical bill for test after returning to US from China
The US isn't set up to deal with an outbreak...
Testing revealed Mr Azcue had the flu, not the coronavirus. But his limited health insurance left him with a bill of $3,270 two weeks after his test. He will be responsible for $1,400 of that bill.
"How can they expect normal citizens to contribute to eliminating the potential risk of person-to-person spread if hospitals are waiting to charge us $3,270 for a simple blood test and a nasal swab?" Mr Azcue told the newspaper.
Costs $15 usd in China to get the same test.
deep glen
here its free if you have insurance
pearl elk
yeah coronavirus is free here too ๐
north torrent
I have insurance in China, but I don't know how to use it... too many Chinese words...
Easier for me to just pay.
China doesn't have Universal Healthcare or anything like that. Most employers offer health insurance for a very low fee, less that 10% of what it costs in the US.
But even without health insurance, things are just reasonably affordable to buy.
If you need to get a blood test and an ultrasound because you have an ulcer, boom! done, same day, less that $10 usd.
Medicine, $4 usd.
Meanwhile in the US it is over $1,000 and you generally have to wait 3 weeks.

yeah, our DM told us recently that he had to pretty much come up with new stuff on the spot because we did something that he did not anticipate at all lol
like an entire sort of new "story arc" of sorts
I don't really see it being an extreme nerd thing, it's more like making up a story
I know the DM's got a whole story and characters and everything he's created for us to play through, sometimes we just don't go into the direction he is trying to make us go lol
fringe sundial
@median wraith on its core, Pen and paper rpg is about group storytelling
some people like to rules-lawyer the fuck out of it, and they play Pathfinder or other rules-heavy rpgs
other people like to play others where the rules are lighter, and have more improvisation
the DM steers the adventure
and the players do dumb shit

There's a funny one called "Snakes on a Plane: The RPG"
it's pretty light and easy to get into, I played it with some friends

i can tell that the whole "stick a tree up the dragon but" was one the funniest shit i have ever played with anyone
it works best if doing critical hit or critical miss do whacky things

median wraith
I can't really deal with these things tbh
If the game have some logics set before play then can go, when someone is doing that while plays, turns so absurd to me I can't deal with
fringe sundial
thats where the rules come from
some RPGs are more rules-heavy than othesr
im almost sure PAthfinder has a slap table somewhere
if you prefer to take it more seriously, you can play something like Pathfinder where everything has rules
foggy path
yeah I guess at least with D&D the rules give you a framework, and there are plenty of examples of how the skills are used
but if a player tries to do something that isn't specified, then the DM can pretty much decide what to do... like maybe you try to do something that requires precision, in that case the DM might tell you to roll for dex
fringe sundial
D&D is higher level, so for example while in pathfinder there are specific rules for almost everything, like climbing or whatever
in D&D you just do "roll dex"

I was learning it couple months ago for 2D
Godot problem, I still see there a problem on the architecture one file build and that scripting scares me
zinc matrix
you use GoDOT?
funniest part, doing 2D in godot doesnt seem any better,eeasier or more comfortable than doing 2D in gamemaker or unity
fathom wadi
That guy just literally stated that Unity is now better than Unreal because PBR textures and a lighting upgrade made them look the same. I know this guy knows a few things, so why is he being so foolish and to use aesthetics to grade the mechanics?
zinc matrix
i thought unity was better than ue4 before dots
fathom wadi
Everyone knows games only look as good as the artist can produce and the PBR "leveller" didn't make all other engines automatically better. It made them normalised.
median wraith
well there are graphic features that Unity have and UE4 don't and others than UE4 have and Unity don't
zinc matrix
games are not about graphics
median wraith
like idk whats going on with their tessellation yet
fathom wadi
yeah apples and oranges in terms of the mechanics
zinc matrix
only some people rate games basing score mainly on game graphics but they sooner or later learn that gameplay is more important than visuals
median wraith
in other hand they have the dots thing and these new architectures, and here you had some tools split inside editor for BP etc
median wraith
but still I'm in the thought Epic should expand the BP, as is the only scripting they have, and a lot of core things are missing, even the architecture is a limitation in some cases
fathom wadi
god knows.
quiet narwhal
DOTS is the make shit faster stuff for Unity in the future
median wraith
no, DOTs are for the code structures
fathom wadi
its not the only scripting it has. Its the entry level scripting that should provoke people to learn real code :p
median wraith
isn't for multiplayer
fathom wadi
but people can go python too
or C#
one mo I need to read on the DOTS thing. Ive seen it talked about but not paid attention
quiet narwhal
but ignoring all of that the fact that the last time he used UE was in UDK days does not present a fair comparison ๐ฆ just a bummer that the opinion was basically based on graphics and money
median wraith
yeah compare UE4 with UDK right now is well...
zinc matrix
i was messing with dots but DOTS networking solution is less straight-forward than monobehaviour-based frameworks
zinc matrix
so im just using objects now, but i may rewrite my game one day in dotz
fathom wadi
yeah I see a lot of clickbait that is like that in my list. "Why is Godot better than UE4?" and stuff. Obvious opinions ahead ๐
median wraith
even if still have some missing features like lets say these audio splines someone named today at Twitter, the whole structure is now focus to any kind of game etc, so yeah compare these today....
fathom wadi
audio splines?
median wraith
yeah I read somewhere there was at UDK some audio things that follow an spline where you are close you listen the audio close ?
or the lens flares and lens flares editor (at UDK)
there was many guys requesting that on forums
I don't have any request right now tbh
fathom wadi
There is infinite things you say UE4 or Unity needs, that they don't have, so you can always make a video criticising either. And that gets clicks. Not many, but some. ๐
median wraith
thats true, well does nothing at the end
I mean time to time one annoys by many and talk about these things but is a good to liberate of these in your mind xD
fathom wadi
I dont really understand the hype about this DOTS system. It seems to be automating the process of multithreading, which is cool, but was Unity performance ever so much of an issue that this overhaul re-invents the wheel in terms of the scope of it?
quiet narwhal
I will say my videos series on making a game in UE4 & Unity, identical games just walking thru the process, did not get very many views overall lol
so yeah clickbait definitely gets the views, real content not so much

Alex is doing on site training, Chris Murphy is another Evangelist. There are a few in different parts of the world, they generally have areas
I don't know why, I just don't fit the requirements I guess

offically licensed UE4 trainers should be a thing.

@fathom wadi DOTS makes somewhat easy to write huge perf code
median wraith
Yeah Chris Murphy is the one I had in the mind from Twitter
quiet narwhal
@fathom wadi they are
fringe sundial
the job system makes making multithreaded code a lot easier than "normal"
and the compiler makes C# be as fast as Cpp, and faster in some cases
then you have the ECS stuff which is also pretty cool
fathom wadi
well thats a brave statement so I would have to see results. But sounds great.
quiet narwhal
Epic offers in class and on site training from people like Alexander and others as part of there live training team
the other half is the online learning team
fringe sundial
@fathom wadi DOTS basically limits you pretty hard into using data-oriented code structure
thats why it makes MT easy
fathom wadi
certification to go and do your own thing without Epic would be cool tho. Rather than some in-house setup hiring people out
@fringe sundial where do you think that would leave other engines if this is such a game changer ? Reckon they will copy/paste and follow suit?
quiet narwhal
I wish I could find it but there is something out there where you can apply to be an officially recognized educator by epic
fathom wadi
nice Ill check that out
quiet narwhal
but I cant find the stupid website for it. Epic themselves doesnt want to "certify" anyone officially tho
fathom wadi
I thought with the unreal academy, it was getting closer to some kind of self-employed setup for training with the right accreditation, but then it seemed to turn into something else.
quiet narwhal
ah ha, training partner. https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/training-partners
yeah epic doesnt want to offer certification, it means they are beholden to quality
any idiot can pass the unity certification stuff and be a certified unity dev, epic doesnt want that. It's like that in alot of industries
median wraith
There was something outside of my country that always loved and was the way to proof you're valid for what you do rather than certifications and stupid papers that say you're something, and for some reason I see the world taking that out in some areas, to me that was the correct way
quiet narwhal
I see you are a Unity Certified Programmer https://certification.unity.com/products/certified-programmer. that is great we need a new one for our new game, perhaps you heard of it? Assassins Creed Mobile?
fathom wadi
but if testing was done offline, in centers you could visit once you finished enough online training, you pay a fee, do a live test (like a job interview) with invigilation, and if you pass, you get your parking validated.

The question is I could teach the same for years ? Its like live in a constant repeating year for your whole life teaching the same to different people each year
quiet narwhal
I've been doing that since UE4 came out and I like it but I like to learn. When teaching you are learning as well
even the same course could be different every year based on the people you teach and your experiences from the last year
fathom wadi
yeah and once you get into the paperwork side of teaching, you lose a lot of time to learn. Its a dichotomy that ultimately turned me away from teaching. For 1 on 1 teaching though, I could handle the paperwork + continue to learn + earn.
then I think, "them that can, do. Them that can't, teach". And I go right back to learning something new. ๐

Are you saying it's not switching LODs?
runic depot
it's not showing any of them
it does load the new map when the layer seems to hit the 50,000 mark
but I thought it would show the static meshes as well...
It should show the stuff beyond the yellow line (current map terrain)
But it don't
and I'm reading the docs like: "Distance relative to original level streaming distance. For example, if original level has streaming distance = 1000, and LOD1 level has distance 1500, then LOD1 level will be visible at [1000..2500] range and original at [0..1000] range."
Oh... tsk tsk
it was a matter of the wrong material being applied to the he HLOD... I change it since it was generated, and the LODS have the old material... so I didn't recognize them... sigh, thanks WCBama
