hey
"we know each programmer have their way, you can pull the whole code out and make the whole thing from ground"
well they called me from Madrid to do that lol
an artist CEO
obviously
@
I remember you carried on your back a couple of projects
@finite lark had remote working last months for americas so didn't had time at all, refocusing now
@broken sigil yeah waiting myself for the new chasis update from last gen renaults into dacia
well I wish stable things to be stable but
yeah sure... but crazy times, you know..
yeah... well is water clear I need to find things in remote outside from here
despite crazy times, find these were crazy always haha
is easiert to have something stable for sure
i knew spain was a disaster if you want to be worker
quality of life
tho i can get cheap workers for my stuff
once i need them
only reason to do anything here
i meak i 100% know i can get unpaid interns
to do stuff like QA or some basic level design
ofc you can
i probably will
not yet tho
you cant have interns in a remote work
its impossible
i had 3 interns on DWVR and after 3 months they stayed, all i had to show was a single gun + a single sword asset
one did nothing (happens). The other 2 one did the sword, one did the gun
the problem is that they had no clue
well, they expect some sort of mentoring
they were from like 3rd year of degree and they had no clue
whatsoever
i did have to teach them a lot of things
so probably getting interns for free is going to slow you down
like retopology and UVs
the problem is that the overhead of the mentoring was pretty big on remote
couse in an office you can just come every couple hours and see how the guys are doing
but in remote you cant
so you give a task
they come 2 days later
task is done by horribly so
yeah exactly
and need to explain all the thing and why you have to throw half of it to the trash
I experienced that before
in an office you can correct quickly
which is better for everyone
i get more assets couse they get done faster, the guy doesnt get work thrown into the trash couse stuff is corrected soon
I spent 2 years refactoring rotten code... you don't really want to do that
i have seen the most unholy clusterfucks you can think of
I wish I would have started it all over...
when freelancing unity stuff
I trust you
code written by interns who werent even programmers
and projects with way more plugins that they should have to kind of patch things up
which of course then fails because unity plugins suck
my favourite thing
was a level that had some spikes come from the floor
as a trap
bad code written by interns is to be expected
my current job the previous CTO wrote the most unbelievable garbage
was its own object
:D
with an animation
so this was not only something like 800 game objects with meshes
but when the spike triggered
it was 800 animations playing on skeletal mesh
for a phone game
so it did 1000+ drawcalls plus a huge hit to cpu
game went instantly into like 3 fps
this was fine-ish in flat gaming couse you got killed anyway and it fades to black
but i was porting that thing to VR
where i needed stable FPS at all times
and that's something you learn with experience... so yeah a junior level engineer won't be able to predict such behaviour... because the problem with working with an engine is that you believe that this abstract layer will take care of your poorly managed memory scheme
What I hate is when someone that hire noobs pretend to hire pros as noobs for same income
The only stupid in the table is the one hiring
yeeeep, that's a common missconception
if you are hiring junior level engineers, they are juniors
and they should be mentored
did you see that chapter of that TV show about job interviews?
where they wanted a unity expert to basiclaly do everything for 1200 a month
with overtime
exactly
but.. look Vic
thats such a good deal
I think it was half staged
paying 1200 for 2000 euros level work
@finite lark it isnt
you can see it on the linkedin of the guys
the guy who got hired actually did work in the place
for a few months
I know one of them XD
i remember in the show the best guy, by far, was the one who went all mysterious to not give too much info to the TV show
the guys that hire or the hired ?
@finite lark literally best guy of the program
i dont remember what the name was
but it was something like "whats your name" - "john" "john what?" "just john"
and i think he did use fake name
smart guy
and went to a job interview for 1200 euros
fuck
tho reminds me of me
Tequila games interviewed me for a VR programmer job
they offered 1200 euros
at this time i even had VR Multigames published
with like 50k installs
so i told them to fuck off (politely)
lmao
1200?
yeah
where do you get people for that cheap :X
that's typical spanish
oh wow really
hope your living costs match
I wouldn't be in bcn if I wouldn't share appartment
@foggy path apartment in madrid-spain goes from 600 to 900
for a 1 person tiny flat
the same place where they pay 1200
so yeah its beyond fuckd
barcelona-madrid same
the thing is that there are a lot of young gamedevs from schools/etc, and a lot of engineers/CS students
and not enough job posts
by like an order of magnitude
so everyone who is halfway good jst leaves
on spain only remains the guys who dont want to leave spain for some reason, and the bad ones
Yeah I have a 42 sqm apartment for about 500 eur / month, even in my first job I was paid about 2300 eur / month
exactly, I am one of the bad ones :poggers:
i will not work for another guy (as employee) in spain
i know they would try to underpay me
its much more worth it to just freelance or do contracts worldwide
for the academia is different
or even work in my own stuff
you can for sure release a paper on your own... but if I release it under bsc name it will be for sure get more attention
also conference payments and whatnot..
I am using bsc like some sort of a launcher
yeah academia needs to be on... an academy
you can say it louder but not clearer
xD
I love researching, it's my life
I enjoy every single minute of it
and BSC is providing me the tools
expensive a.f. embedded boards
all sort of equipment
something I wouldnt have by working in my own
I want also to move
but I feel that is not yet the moment
I plan to do an internship at esa or somewhere else
yeah........
That's pretty terrible :P
I was able to afford to live alone when I was 18
to be fair at the time it was partially because I got paid by the state to be a student lol
but once I got work then yeah
and the people ask later why the 30 years old are the new 15 years old
well there you got, you pay them like it
are 5 sharing a house
we always hear that in spain it's part of the culture to live together
but it kinda sounds like it's part of not being paid enough
"we always hear that in spain it's part of the culture to live together"
Well that' correct and incorrect
live together yeah
but in family
no with randoms
ah I see
what you hear maybe is they are more familiar or something
this wasn't a thing by 1990
the people was able to pay a hotel or whatever it was individually
now live like immigrants in their own country
I think living costs in Helsinki are a bit higher than where I live
but afaik they do also have higher salaries to match
by 1990 for example
nobody here rents
all buy a house at my ages
by now can't even pay a rent
I don't know a single person at my age aka about 30s
that purchased a house
I live in a sort of pseudo-rental
it's not really rental but it's also not quite owning either
it's kinda convenient, for example when my fridge failed I just called them and they carried a new one in, didn't have to pay
if I owned then I'd have to pay that out of pocket which would kinda suck
especially when said fridge failed again a year or two after lol
oh
well I rather would want to purchase a house than have a rent
you can do holes over all the walls etc
🤔 🤖
yeah I guess if you want to renovate
don't need permission for anything
I don't particularly have anything I'd wanna do
Who asks before they put holes in walls?
tbh you probably can drill a hole in a wall in a rental here if it's for like... putting up a painting or something
but if you fuck it up and break something, well then sucks to be you
although that would still suck if you owned it I guess lol
if you don't want holes in the walls don't rent it out.
Yeah that's a perfect solution :p
Screw the wealthy land owning class that just wants to make income off of owning things.
I take a little of my words back, gimp is piece of shit when channel work is involved. I'm better off with command line, lol.
Or okay, maybe that was strong word. Nevertheless it is pita.
@plucky pagoda you are right they are resellers though. Part of France Telecom (or used to be). So they sell reseller packages mostly. Not the cheapest service but it's been rock solid compered to my others, they never rip me off like others, and they have a really good set of features for the price.
They'll probably get away with a mere slap on the wrist, like Microsoft did before
But it's still nice
It's just a way to fleece a corporation who is fleecing the tax system tbh. The thing is, Google will make more with tax evasion and subsidiaries than the courts could ever get back due to the law. It needs changing to be anti-monopoly instead of monopoly enabling. Even when they break down the monopolies, they hide behind the law which protects them.
Yo when sending out an add for jobs, what does royalty in compensation mean
Ah I looked it up, essentially means to own the product.
@fathom wadi I was just being a smartass for general purposes.
Not really, it just means you're paid a percentage of the profits (possibly, there can be multiple ways the royalties are calculated)
@plucky pagoda They do have some cheesy selling methods but I like to tease them. So when they ask a question, I always try answer it outside of the box. They seem to appreciate it. I have to say though, when it comes to needing something, they are always on form. I've ran a few web hosts and none of them were as good. The backend is great too. Makes GoDaddy and 1and1 look like amateurs.
We're so fucked in Ohio.
A brief summary of today's press conference from the Governor : "Everything is fucked. Our hospitals can not keep up and may in a short time be overwhelmed. Most of the spread is from visiting family and informal gatherings. I'm optimistic people will just magically start doing the right thing and wear a mask and it will all get better when the unicorns arrive and start farting rainbows."
We are in a Tier 3 lockdown right now. The government won't give us enough money to cope. Even though they gave £1billion of tax money to the DUP (a Northern Irish political party) in order to secure a win at the last election.
UK is in the midst of decay and the leadership are all making money from it whilst people lose their entire livelihoods and are dying unnecessarily because we are all avoiding the doctors to help out the NHS, which the Tories are trying to sell even though they don't own it.
It's time we elected @north torrent to start the "Eat the Rich" party.
Most of the world has put ignorant morons in office and now we get to watch incompetence in action.
"Eat the Rich" is so yesterday, now it's hip to "Yeet the Rich"
Not since Epstein was murdered by himself
Failing upwards, everybody!
On the plus side, reading the politics subreddit no longer has any particular effect on my emotions.
well look at it from perspective
Covid
was best thing to happen
it's not that deadly as other dieseases
and it shows perfectly how hilariously people are unprepared to handle problems first hand
I'm still waiting on the punchline.
it exposes decades of stupid goverments, complacent
and belief that hoomans control everything
and when it finally happens
hoomans still stoopid
and invent excuses
that it was caused by something
yes it was
nature said
"fuck you"
I didn't need 1.2 million people to die to illustrate that. Just like I didn't need to see your inability to manage more than 75% of a thought for every line to realize that you're fucking dumb.
seems like
1.2mln
is still not enough
for most world to accept , that as civilization, we are not nearly as advanced as we'd like to be
or rather as we think of our selves
so not worry, next time is going to be super ebola, and we are not going out this easy ;

I have read stories about genetic modifications to diseases that attack specific ethnicities. Some of it was rumour, some of it was conspiracy theory but some of it was actual science. You would think that with such levels of science available, they could create heuristic antibodies that quell the changes enacted in polymorphic diseases and bugs like flu.
psoriasis kicked in again?
It can be yeah
Snow? Time to rally then.
Not as bad as Seborrheic dermatitis. That shit is insane. The crippling effect it can have on someone's image of themselves can lead to more than just a skin condition.
it can effect your entire body. Cracks and bleeds as the skin grows too fast
but anyway. How about a change of subject? https://twitter.com/f00n/status/1318391656568291333?s=20
So I found this bugged enemy NPC who wasn't shooting. But a friendly NPC was trying to kill. I tried to save him. Oh god I tried. But in the end..... #TheDivision2 #Ubi #Massive #gaming #bugs https://t.co/xOHQhcedoo
Seagulls! Stop it now.
Best thing about The Division 2: they finally moved to wearing proper packs for running across an entire city instead of a sling pack that went over the wrong shoulder.

@fathom wadi So that's why I have these weird marks on my thighs
you are a bugged NPC?
I know im in a moderately happy mood today so my jokes get worse.
😉
My wife has the seborrheic dermatitis. I've seen the struggle she has had with it. I just have a bit of psoriasis from the thyroid issue in that respect.
I didn't associate these skin cracks with the seborrheic dermatitis before
I only knew about other symptoms
I don't care about my appearance much, but I can imagine how much worse it could affect women's self-image
indeed. Luckily I don't have a thing about people's image. I look inside at people, not outside. That's how you end up with 2 psycho ex's who refuse you access to your kids because they don't like you anymore :/

CC BY ShareAlike licenses affect individual files or the whole project ?
What do you mean? Are you trying to workaround a license?
Blender Foundation is now official Associate Member of @thekhronosgroup. We now have access to all their resources and can actively participate in working groups related to open standards. https://t.co/QiY0zCvQt9 #b3d
@cursive crypt well no, just asking if affect the edited file or the whole project as GPL
damn was just gonna post that @rare sparrow awesome news.
OpenWhatever standards forever!
@median wraith you seem to mess up cc with gpl :)
Maybe just share a bit more of your case, so you get correct answer.
Meanwhile in Autodesk
@cursive crypt lets say I use the song "Pepa Pig Dances.mp3" that's under CC-BY-SA on my game, need to be the whole game CC BY-SA alike or can release the edited song separably ?
sent the question to Creative Commons anyway is kinds confusing on that one
ofc, it does not need your game be cc too. That license is wrt to that file. You need to credit the author.
It's experimental but you can access the GBuffer in Niagara now. This means you can do cool stuff like have particles sample their surface when they spawn! I'm going to try using this for dissolve effects that don't require unique materials and maybe some hallucinogenic effec...
@cursive crypt well that isn't what the store pages describe, that's why sent a text to the makers of the license
Maybe the add stuff to it? What they say?
I see a shit lol @fathom wadi thank you twitter
@cursive crypt they say it spread as GPL, what makes no sense as CC-BY don't do that
That bullshit.
@median wraith video ain't as important as the fact you can access the GBuffer now
@median wraith thinking about it, likely they say it spreads like gpl (lol) because it is ShareAlike, but that relevant only for the file itself and any changes on it. If you do that, you must use the same license basically.
well technically the non commercial CY
don't allows the whole final product to be commercial
so this by someones affect the whole product too to be the same idk

Hi, is anyone here using a Zed camera?
minecraft is "crude" by comparison? seems they made a few billions from their community.
maybe. but I didnt realize he was talking aestetics. I thought he was talking "systems"
minecraft, by far, is more modable, as is obvious
He was talking about visuals, yeah
you missed the whole point there I think 🙂
since minecraft has "crude" visuals, mods are easy to do and look good
so you can devote THAT much more energy in the mod gameplay itself
well, I let it go because he point in fact said, in what I posted "where the entire esthetic of the EXPERIENCE" -- that is not just visuals.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
"aesthetic of the experience"
it's just a weird phrase imo meaning "the aesthetic of the game"
Author trying to sugar coat, kinda does not make sense. Aesthetic should be how an object is perceived.

Well.
There are definitely some issues with that on a technical level... starting with "why did you wait weeks to do anything?"
I didn't think it was because I haven't secretly thought you were a serial killer.
I'm glad he had the foresight to make arrows but not the goddamned bow to go with it
I can't believe he didn't go the whole hog and fashion a Fleshlight for the long haul days 😄

Hope it wasn't due to my related joke. Just having a bit of a manic moment so happiness gives me humour. Don't worry, I'll be depressed again soon enough and back to moaning.

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/prelude-to-a-squish made something totally game-engine-free which may be pretty off topic for unreal slackers-- but on topic, it seems harder to share games made with unreal engine because people have to run some untrusted exe unless there's some way to target html5 with ue4?
yeah seems kinda usual gamejam issue
browser based games get way more plays/rates exactly because it's much much easier
there isn't nearest to linear there is ?
Is there a foolproof way to check whether a Vive Controller is v1 or v2? I have a sinking feeling someone pulled a switcheroo on us
email the serial number to the manufacturer?
question for pros:
UE4 stores generated Mipmaps in the texture and switch on runtime
or are calculated on first game execution ?
yeah mipmaps are stored with the texture (but some stuff generate on runtime, like render targets iirc)
"he" the texture? 😄
@median wraith mips are part of the texture and loaded in GPU as a whole, so there's no actual switching on CPU happening
texture streaming was meant to solve it...but...
Use the new STAT STREAMING command to report texture streaming metrics
another thing

y'all know how to load and unload parts of the map? like in minecraft how chunks appear when you get close and they dissapear when you get too far
Yeah, I just take an eraser and run them out.
That's called level streaming in Unreal
Pfft, that sounds suspiciously like a sensible answer... in Lounge too... disgraceful.
After being on Twitter for an hour today, everything outside seems sensible.
im surprised it wasn't "12346"
Thats one way to keep calm with the world outside 😄

@mossy nexus it's not even me saying it. it's bleak but...
Yeah, that's them just admitting that they haven't a clue if they can eradicate it.
they know they can't. SARS doesn't go away, it evolves. Unless they take everyone who has it and separate them from everyone who doesn't. Then burn everyone who has it. Along with the animals and everything else. It's going to be here in some form or another. It was here before and it will remain.
wait
Trump's password was seriously "maga2020!"
That is so fucking good lol
I bet Hillary's email server was more secure than this 
probably not
tbh never bothered me in any games
It never really bothered me much either
I think weapons are a bit too big in newer games, but in older games they were fine, maybe it's more of an FOV issue
not annoying but personally i prefer to have the gun there at all times
It depends on if you can hipfire
If you can then it would be weird if the gun isn't visible I think
In some games you can holster the weapon, like PUBG
yeah
a holster mechanic might be an option if you wanna do something with that
in PUBG it just puts the gun away and you move a little bit faster
have him holding it straight up and maybe even increase it's length so we can see atleast the tip 😉 i think it would look better that way, cuz if you lower the camera and look way up, you'd probably end up seeing the characters chin, that's what happened when i tried to make a fps.
yeah i guess, tbh i thought it was a sword lol
i hate october, just all these horror games on epic games, and i don't like horror
I tried that ALS but I could not get it to not look broken. now I use the standard fps controller. its also way more snappier and faster.
tried it once, literally my models shoulders were sticking up
worked for me. In fact I love it. Integrated a climbing plugin into it too.
tbh a couple games have used it already so it's probably gonna be too recognizable
by whom? Game devs? They should be making games not playing them :D
Seriously tho. When this system is advanced to the point it has full physical animations, it will be the same as every other anim tool that does the same. I don't see mass usage as a problem either. If it's used a lot, it's because its good at what it does.
aye
its all replaceable
The modular nature of it actually surprised me when I integrated another plugin into it. Made it a breeze
I thought the same I dont need to make animations because this thing is animating at runtime. but yeah I ran in so many issues that it took too much time to get to work properly and some stuff I couldnt fix at all. but I very happy with the new one.
the fps game starter kit. lol
yes that one.
I think there are better ones out there but If you have experience that's all you need. I couldnt start from scratch so.
well if you have exp you don't need these :p
dont know, I use my own sets of animations and some from ALS. lol
but yeah I could put all my logic and progress form als to this on the last weekend and I'm further now thenbefore. probably, I use my own guns and stuff.
Maybe I should try using ALS for NPC animation in my shooter
with any rigging and animation, it's always best to have your own system, but although I've animated for years now I still thought I'd save all the time by using ALS as it would only do what I would setup anyway
I'm trying to use TrenchBroom in combo with Blender but good lord
lol I never said you should buy it.
these kits are quite far from even 2002 games standards
I wouldn't use that FPS Starter Kit if I were new. It's literally all the stuff you should be learning and not skipping. I wonder what people do when they buy it and stare at it for hours thinking "how can I add my next idea?"
@median wraith Speaking of TrenchBroom/Blender, how do you handle lighting? I wonder if it's a good idea to bake lightmaps in Blender
I started making the level in Blender but good lord this nightmare compared with the old gold editors
Well the idea is export in obj from trench to Blender
and do there a fast pass removing invisible faces and lightmap
do you know what the hell is the scale to import into blender ?
From TrenchBroom? No idea
I kinda want to use Valve's Hammer editor because that's what I have most experience with
There's also its clone called J.A.C.K.
What is J.A.C.K.?J.A.C.K. (Just Another Creation Kit; previously known as Jackhammer) is a brand new level editor for games with a Quake-style BSP architecture. The aim is to develop a convenient cross-platform tool capable of incorporating the best features of existing editor...
$14.99
oh is 0.3125
@median wraith well Blender uses a dynamic scale. So it's about what you set it up. The scale didn't change. The interpretation of the scale did. Check your setup is in mm and if it's not right, try a different one 🙂
0.3125 looks like a pretty arbitrary scale
well old school you know
@fathom wadi yeah I were trying to import from the editor into Blender
seems 0.3125 to fit the grid
you have that backwards. You make the grid fit the scaling technically 😄
Blender just presumes you know the scale and lets you set it up how you want. The export is the real scaling tool.
technically
Quake format is 32 units per unit
aka
1 / 32 = 0,03125
so technically is even smaller
@fresh heath I never liked the Hammer editor other than for vertex editing
COD Radiants and Quake Radiants were way faster than that
and TrenchBroom is kinda similar
Are weapons in general "copyrighted", like can I use an M4 model in my game? If I'm not including the name of the gun but still using the model should I be okay?
they are yes
COD Cold War is using some weapons with fake names from what I can tell
Like the shape? Cause I know that the names are trademarked, but can the appearance be copyrighted?
seems like they don't like to face any new news from manufacturers lol
Videogames 3D models still mediocre visually, so don't think they tell you anything
anyway better ask that to experts or something
Yup, What do you think would be the price of a license to use the gun in game?
well you fund a weapons manufacturer so there is the cost of your soul.
Unfortunately you also fund weapons manufacturers when you pay taxes
you presume I pay my taxes :p
Seriously though. Im not rich enough for tax avoidance
When I pay my taxes in future, I shall write "F.A.O the NHS only" on the form
all your base are belong to us
Still trying to figure out how the hell split the view on trenchbroom
@median wraith what Blender version do you use ?
@fresh heath Blender doesn't bake lightmaps
@placid thistle you can do it but its a manual thing.
@placid thistle 2.9
@placid thistle Pretty sure it does: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/render/cycles/baking.html
Cycles only too not Evee
so, what are you going to do with those "lightmaps" ?!
I'm not sure if there is a point in using Eevee over Cycles for baking stuff anyway
@placid thistle What people usually do with lightmaps
Offset some of the load I guess. Not that it really has much purpose. Perhaps for external use
It could be a way to avoid Unreal's lightmapper's issues
doubt it
I don't see myself using the Blender baker to be used later in UE4 lol
well if you wanted some textures without baking the in-engine lighting in, but still have ambient occlusion or some other effect baked in, it technically could be useful
there are no engine native managers for that, in other hand you can make an area with given texture
but the light won't be correct
when I was n00b dev I also thought baking lightmaps in Blender will solve all of my lightmaps problems (in old FOSS engines and in UE4). Turned out it's doesn't quite work as I imagined
you can get a flat shadow
yeah probably not
only if we had some kind of node to set the secondary UV as light color or something
there is a reason engines have specialized lightmappers - learn how to use them
lightmapped objects are a closed environment as well from what I recall. ie. only readable in the engine. So you couldn't have any comparison with lighting in Blender until you went through the process fully. And the export/import shuffle would probably take up so much time during tweaking you would drop it like a hot potato 😄
@fresh heath Godot have right now the best support for native Hammer and TrechBroom tools
the import is native inside the engine
with a plugin
you can kinda sorta get baked shadow with unlit materials, but 1. you need to build and UV map level in Blender, 100% and 2. you will never get movable object lit with that method (unless you dig deep into renderer/shaders)
wouldn't the shadow get negatively effected by the lighting on top though? Presuming it's not jet black
well, the idea is that you won't have any lighting in UE4
ah
it will be just materials/texture sorcery
@zinc matrix Time travel moment.
Is someone already using the new lightmapper in 4.26? I've heard good things about it
Is it in the previews?
Seems like finally had use for the texture pack I did back in the days XD
@fresh heath I mean, I hate to be that guy, but do you read forums / watch Epic livestreams ?!
Occasionally, I don't watch every stream or read every topic
well, you don't need to read anything except for announcements for engine previews and releases to know what's in
The first preview announcement on the forum I skimmed
Don't remember anything lightmapper-related catching my eye
🤷♂️
no you don't
I live in 1998
1060 6Gb and up support DXR
because 1060 have RTX support lmao
don't have RTX hardware but Nvidia released the path so can run RT
however, some of the functionality is supported in the driver
I still on the 970GTX so
I tried RTX Quake 2 on my 1060 and it was a shit show 😦
somone who is familiar with the matter said that while real-time RTX is going to be slow, lightmaps baking should be fast enough to justify use of DXR Lightmass instead of good ol' CPU Lightmass
I've yet to install 4.26 preview to try
it's beta though and not really on par with CPU Lightmass.. Not sure I want to use a buggy lightmapper
well the baker will be normal, don't expect to be better than Blender GPU baker, just is a single guy working on it and they will target for future use cases
I tried Quake 2 RTX on my 1070 and I could endure it at lower resolutions, but I'm very tolerant to low framerates after years and years of being stuck on ancient hardware
I beat Portal 2 on a single-core Celeron and an Intel GMA X3100 GPU
The average framerate was like 10
@median wraith dude how have you done anything with a 970 for the past year or two? Mine ran out of steam in 2017
well, one thing trying a game, another - taking longer than CPU Lightmass to build lighting 😂 I can not endure that
Someone buy Hevedy a 2060 or something. I would if I had the money 😄
@fathom wadi hey all I did were in the 970GTX
yeah that must be painful
I was using a 970 to do VR dev work. Imagine that pain.
I hope 3060 will be affordable
I hope AMD will finally release something competitive
Well I have seen the price, sure it cost more than the 970GTX cost me
🤖
@fathom wadi reason I stopped pushing graphics in order to make decent things
it's cheaper to get a 3060 than buy a 1080ti 😮
by the way, sorry beforehand but making some horror crap
😂 🤖
well all what I do is a real horror lmao
Someone actually recorded the nightmare I endured: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clHs-6eDFEY
Portal 2 running on Intel GMA 3100 integrated graphics card, using Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver 8.15.10.1912 for Windows 7 Ultimate x64, with 4GB DDR2 RAM, ASRock G31M-S motherboard and an Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 CPU. Intel GMA 3100 (Intel Graphics Media Accelerator ...
lmao
the fun fact
my 9800GTX+ were from that year I think
and ran even UE4 and new games
I even pasted some components once as it fall with the years
and ran
😂
the best GPU I ever had
3060 isn't even announce yet 😛
3070 is $500 from Nvidia, not available either (and the rumor has it won't be available until later 2021)
ahh I get confused cuz I can't afford any of them right now so my mind is pretending they are cheap :p
oh where the 3070 then one i saw then
cost like 300€ more than what the 970 cost me lol
I was hoping to get 2060, but prices haven't gone down
I spent £900 on my 1080ti. But it was so worth it. I wouldn't be too rushed to replace it just for RTX but my inner tech geek wants an upgrade.
Nvidia should gift me the GPU at buy the new Watch Dogs
rather than get the Watch Dogs for free
🤖
Well this works
will do the architecture on it, as Blender is a pain for
blender is amazing for architecture imo
the time spent it way bigger
@fathom wadi 3060 has only 6gb of ram...it's...well...not optimal
well I find it faster than 3dsmax and maya. Although if I were doing professional I would go for Revit
@stable escarp ahh yeah thats gonna be an issue
1080ti has 11gb...
🤖
that was the GPU in the question
I follow a couple of the old Ocean guys who used to do magic. One of them is a graphics programmer and some of the things he did were brilliant.
Now you get people making games from the FPS Shooter kit 😄
Well at least you got the good news that I'm masochist so I did even the settings system myself
Just took 3 years without income lmao
hard to find devs this days that edited the engine
other than the devs with own engines
ala Frictional etc
well I do it, but it's not like I want to. I just end up having to because I come up with ideas that haven't been done before 😄
Now you named the 2060 and money
just remember I have to write a tweet about a thing
finally
found the way to add a new viewport
I don't get why UE4 don't have something like this by this point
yeah the way you can layout Blender is so cool
oh man the olds https://wiki.zeroy.com/index.php?title=Call_of_Duty_4:_Textures
😂
the hybrids of COD, I think they still use that
@median wraith yeah but I still love the way you can layout Blender. UE4 should have something similar 😄
Also, because Janisku posted Bender. I have to pimp mine :p
@zinc matrix Yep. it's all rigged too including 2d facial animation setup
its got some NPR issues that I need to spend some time on. See the shoulder? It's not great at defining torus outlines so you need to do some post process unless I can fix the issue. I spent a load of time on it already so I moved on but I keep meaning to come back so I can sell it. Not until it's perfect though.
this pic is from an earlier version actually. I have another file where I increased the geometry on the body to get rid of the edges on the trim. I also increased the geom on the torus part so it looked a little better at more angles
circles aint so bad because you can Mark Edge. You can do it on a Torus but it doesn't make sense at some angles and messes with the rest of it. The best way I've found so far is increasing the geom to compensate so no edges get masked by the visibility channel
me too. All I know from it is from fiddling with settings for a good couple of weeks
idTech 3 didn't have normal maps
I hope the PSP versions of Devil Summoner and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment will be translated someday as well
@fresh heath have only speculars?
If I remember correctly, it only had diffuse textures
Speculars appeared only in idTech 4
@median wraith deluxe maps
So, yeah, it could have normal maps
Not realtime though
anyone here use auto rig pro on blender?
nah
finally rigged my character and when i move it my character goes through his clothes :I
dont your clothes also need skeleton?
man idek
an old pack i have has the clothing rigged
i like joined the clothes to the character i thought that would fix it
Congratulations to Denuvo for this one. It was good whilst it lasted.
I bet the next iteration of Denuvo is gonna be rock solid. Good times.
Atari is back, in hotel form: https://www.travelandleisure.com/hotels-resorts/atari-hotel-design-las-vegas
@placid thistle Deluxe mapping was only added in later opensource forks, no?
no @fresh heath
it's actually not engine's feature - it's q3map2's feature
(map compiling util)
I see
Somehow my test level ended up having 4 sky spheres 🤔
I don't remember adding so many
I recommend to try Akeytsu for character animation
I like Blender, just not for rigging/animation
@fathom wadi If it makes it 60 days that's a gift. 352 is insane and way beyond what I bet anyone expected.
yeah. Mortal Kombat 11 has over 500 days so far too
wow
Anyone know if there are any level design qol plugins for unreal 4?
like for example, features such as "paste at cursor"
@swift flame there is a plugin called "LEVEL DESIGN ASSISTANT" which was free for some time. maybe that?
I never tried it though
Why are there no game jams happening 😩
Is anyone here eating tacos right now?
Nope, some banana shake instead.
I have never put a banana in my juicer.
It's not called a Banana Shake anymore. It's called a "Toobin"
I made guava juice this morning.
I hope he was happy about it
Toobin? Wtf is that? A show reference? out of the loop.
C++
lol, ye
How many lobsters do you think it would take to power an RTX 3090?
depends on if you had them in little lobster bicycles powering a generator or if you ground them into lobster oil powering a generator
I dunno about lobsters, but you may use instead like 2 mil lemons. Which also appear to be like 200 metric cubes of lemons? If you are ready to invest in that project, let me know.
found a way that will test later
Why won't the way test now? Is it lazy, busy?? We need to know!
actually there I scaled Blender but now gives problems
2.8 used to work
will try to follow other way
I will try the post import someone named
to rescale inside UE4
scaling things inside Blender is a mess
otherwise will need to https://chronicdev.io/devlog/ue4-blender-and-back
kinda absurd that's 2020 and still with this issue
I didn't have any problems with the scale since I started to always set it to 0.01 before doing anything else
For either import or export
well when you set 0.01 you get other kind of problems inside Blender tbh
Bakers etc
scaling why @median wraith ?!
just set your Blender units to metric centimeters and 0.01
exports 1:1 into UE4
burger room
A banana shake does sound good
Do you all think most gamers will like vehicles with shifter controls (like have to shift to reverse to reverse) or should I stick to arcade controls where back does reverse?
I could also make it a player or server-side option for "realism mode" lol
the question is mostly does it offer anything of value to your game
for example, would a separate reverse gear button do anything useful in PUBG or Halo? not really
But if the main point of your game is to drive vehicles.. then it could make sense
@placid thistle if you do that on Blender bakers and other tools end working
or you reach limits at numbers
The fact is
They named that UE4 uses by default in 2.8 the metric system
but you still have to convert the sizes
😂
And basically is as is
makes 0 sense at this point tbh
I am not baking anything in Blender
modeling, rigging, animation, texturing works 100% with those settings
Ideally, it should be 1.0 by default and FBX exporter should apply 0.01 scale, but hard headed Blender devs DGAF
especially the guy responsible for FBX exporter
but, fret not! There is glTF 2.0 format
I haven't tried it yet, but there is 100% functional import plugin for UE4
I tried Unreal's glTF import last summer when I was experimenting with VRoid Studio, it didn't work for me very well
At least for skeletal meshes
Best glTF importor for UE4 editor. https://github.com/code4game/glTFForUE4
https://www.pcgamer.com/if-baldurs-gate-3-isnt-dandd-enough-for-you-solasta-may-be-the-dice-obsessed-rpg-youre-looking-for/ finally a turn based dnd
the fudge? If a Larian game isn't enough D&D for you? It's set in a D&D location, with D&D rules, by a company that probably does the best D&D style games.
Sorry Obsidian
your time is up 😄
uh no, because they're not DnD. Dnd style sure, but I need my d20 rulesets
not DnD, but if you want a similar game, PAthfinder kingmaker is absolutely godlike
its pathfinder rules, but pathfinder was forked from D&D3.5, so it fits anyway
yes! it was really good
its betetr than baldurs gate 3 atm
a lot better
it has about 7 times more content
and its combat is better because it has more characters with more classes
Wait... they remade Baldur's gate and never used D&D rules? That's not a remake then. It's a different game.
It's like saying "We are remaking Street Fighter 2" then using turn based combat.
Holy moly
I was pimping a remake of this for years. Almost started it myself
i am creating (starting) an asylum (unlike an insane one, if you would) alternative to this server, don't expect it to be loaded with members from start, but it is there with more moderation in regards to action, given an aggro style of "warning" is nedded in a milti-international community, with money and time/ (blood, sweat, tears, etc.) involved
look in 2 minutes at the note in my tag
Done
That note is private and only visible to yourself
the military?
hmm, i see aggro moderation is already being rippeed lol
also, RIP'd
expries 24 hours from now and no limit on uses
hey chief no offense but ain't that a direct violation of rule 6
i have been using unreal since UT' 99 and since there is just so much to discuss before Unreal Slcackers ptomotion, why not join to sort out specific fucntions with a little more breathing room, in cheeky humor and relaxtion "get this rage off my chest" stuff
see?
just wanna make sure you ain't getting any trouble
this is why
truly an unfortunate event
i see "bending rules" as part of human evolution, not as being rebellious or disrespectful
bah i can make it good without all the ffluff in here, it's called google, this is Unreal Kindergarten sometimes
alright cool so when are you actually leaving then 
c;'mon nobody like s a tattle tale, well as soon as pokis pilot gets nme banned
yeah bud, no discord links
i mean if you stand in the middle of the road with a sign going "run me over" you will get tread on
usually happens that way
this is the information usper highway, get real or get a life plz
you seem perturbed friend
exactly why 1: i'm not crazy and 2: you could go crazy if sunjugated with these know it all cops wanna-be's
sub
i'm experimental, not perturbed, maybe understand Pych past 103?
back to the drawing board with that experiment then i guess
you just like you know how to spell 'preturned' huh?
🤔
here you go son
pff i'd pwn you in a debate
feel free
i can Sarah Palin all i want man, besides COVID lockdown i'm free as Miley cyrus in a bagerzz partty

i think you'll need to translate to that to conventional english for me i don't speak your precise dialect
wow, harassment 101 meets "what it's an opinion, same as his, just mine is more important'

tfw bocked :( oh well back to my mom's basement
i know, she misses u
tfw unbocked :)
she's been waiting there in secre3cey from dad all day, ddayum
thanks for unbocking me man i missed you
I'm not sure if all that alcohol is good for you 🤔
pff 2 beers and i know people devoured by Unreal comunity's admins and mods, they are like every other creature, under pressure, only care about theirmselve,s or in a communissm-state like environ, the team
lol
there are no real saints opr angels here bruh
my dad drank himself to the grave but I guess it's your life
nobody here is Bill Gatesgiving their profits to the needy, it goes towards their garage or estate
honestly i have no idea what you're on about right now i think you'll need to clear this up for me
yet you feel the need to chime in about how you have no idea who i am, jusst that you're cool and everybody should join your persoanl bandwagon?
Plz stop
don't like you, regret this already
i mean i do really have no idea who you are, and i just asked you to clarify what you're saying because i am genuinely confused
ok
ooh what'cha working on?
no jank for me i guess lol
ponkis? why do you worship the same systems that can d** you over in a heart-beat due to w/e temptation in their mind at any monet?
momnet*
moment*
i honestly love unreal because of workflow form 3d/2d exports - to importing and iomplement, but need a team these days (my own opinion) because i spend time researchng and modeling onoly some ides, not the whole cake myself
but i see from same research, unreal is unlikely to fall through the proverbil cracks due to its reputation and usefullness
so, i'm different
10 years later
all of it imo
nothing is what it seems, i leqrne dthat, happy to share

yep
no i'm not close to drunk
oh joy
i'm just so tired of typing and have nothing useful to actually speak you you guys in this manner, = i typo like wild and don't mind it
talk about a slippery slope lol
don't overuse that pound sign, grandpa
I'm pretty sure he is like 10, he joined the other day to defend his friend who got banned so that tells you everything
yeah let's move on lol
so what's new with you lot
i used to be on here a long while ago but left since i stopped developing for like 9 months or so
not to defend, as you know once banned from unreal slackers they lock you into an internet time-warp prison you cannot escape from
i used to be on here a long while ago but left since i stopped developing for like 9 months or so
sleep, gaming, work, repeat
Haven't seen a light of day in like 2 months

so you're a 3D modeler, not a game developer 🤔
sorry @foggy path

what part of 3d modelling isn't factored into mapping + 3d modeling, exactly, unless sprite-based with intro+ morre into code?
well meshes will be meshes, but without code, game doesn't exist :P
