does anyone ever experience very small grain size dots in their vision, not everywhere but on walls and sky, and a bunch of plain surfaces? i think i worked too much and have dry eye causing this?

something like that grain in ue4's post process, those kind of transparent dots

Depends what do you mean by these. I think all have some artifacts visible, but we don't pay them attention. These area visible on mono shaded surfaces mostly, yeah. Kinda how you don't pay attention to your nose blocking the view all the time.

Dry eye is more like itching and uhm.. yeah, your eye feels dry :)

Visual snow, also known as visual static, is a condition in which people see white or black dots in parts or the whole of their visual fields.

Floaters or eye floaters are sometimes visible deposits within the eye's vitreous humour ("the vitreous"), which is normally transparent, or between the vitreous and retina. Each floater can be measured by its size, shape, consistency, refractive index, and motility. They are also called muscae volitantes (Latin for 'flying flies'), or mouches v...

i see floaters, the blue field entoptic phenomenon and the visual snow

An afterimage is an image that continues to appear in the eyes after a period of exposure to the original image.

Afterimage can last for several seconds... Depends on the stimuli strength.

But I guess smarter people have described it better.

But I can understand it's unnerving, I'd also go down a hypochondriac rabbit hole if I had visual snow all of a sudden

somber pasture

yeah, my afterimage lasts for 3 seconds with open eyes, and 1 second when i close my eyes, the flag inverted, after i view it for 5 seconds

Monitors also have afterimage effect:slight_smile:

It was very severe on the old tube ones.

also when i scroll through text a bit of it gets left for like a second then goes

thankfully its not superimpose for me, the dots and i dont see them outsides

Merry Christmas everyone.
I have a question. I have a dream of my games being sold in physical stores. I am making small anime games with very high ratings and good sales on Steam. I don't hope to earn a lot but I just want this as fact. How can I make a deal with retail shops? Where do I make discs? Is the a minimum amount needed for retailers to accept discs?
Why do I need to apply for a local rating when seling in physical stores but don't need to when I sell games online where people can also buy them? Modern laws are very outpdated and go against logic.
Also, if I make a patreon and ship discs overseas by mail - do I need to apply for a rating in each country I send the disc to? Sounds like nonsence because when the game shop for example Steam sends packets with any game to any country - certification is not required. Why means of data transimsison define the legal limitations if the data is the same?
The laws are made by idiots that understand nothing about real world and live in 20th century

#

@zenith obsidian to hit a couple of points, you'll be speaking with distributors not retailers. You'll also be working within steams terms and framework. You'll need to integrate some things for full use of the platform. It's best to read about the steam process then go about understanding the distributor process. But also finding people who will print the disc's and materials - usually what a publisher handles with preexisting and established contracts and partnerships.

It's funny that I grew up with black face as a thing on tv. But what made it truly odd when I look back, is some of those people who did it were obviously not racists. Yet the normalisation of the act meant there was room for no malicious intent. Yet it's still inexcusable in terms of the close relationship to real hardcore racism that uses the same techniques with a more violent outcome.

#

yeah it was a Vaudeville throwback when they rarely let black actors take starring roles, so it was always embed in racism in it's core. Yet somehow it was made into more of a sidestepping to include black characters. By the 1970's it was pretty regular on mainstream UK tv. Even into the 1980's. I recall a particular parody of "The Spinners" folk group where one of the comedians, who was notoriously liberal, used black face to represent the Caribbean member of the group. But it was done in a way where it wasn't mocking him or black people. He had the funniest lines too.

Hmm odd co-incidence, but Dustin Gee (the comedian who did the black face here) started with his health issues in my town after a heart attack at the local Pier.

@zinc matrix when I first saw that I was a kid. I was watching Russ Abbot videos a while back so it recommended me and I remembered it.

As much as that impresses me, and I'm not taking anything away from it, when the guy who made Dreams cloned it on the PS4, I was done. Graphics are now gonna be rightfully in their place, and that's a secondary bonus to actual gameplay. Rather than the smoke and mirrors it's always been trying to up the ante on graphical advances.

When you look at those scenes and add up all the time it would have taken to do the intricate architecture work, and the statues, the rocks etc, it's astounding to try come up with a figure off the top of your head.

If you track the growth of mainstay core effects that have spent at least 5 years within AAA game use, you find it's all major release work from 2000 where as much dynamic lighting and anti-aliasing and various other small effects that add up were drip-fed. Then we hit that lull from the PS3 to RTX where either fake or custom GI solutions were the flavour of the day. Now we have RTX. What's next? It has to be cinematic gameplay. Which is gonna either be amazing or really dull.

#

Seems the same they did for distance fields

humble remnant
#

So basically, games are become Uncharted

#

Got it

fathom wadi
#

thats exactly what I was thinking

#

The convergence between movies and games has always required a parity between tech. Now we have it because the game tech is powering the movie industry

median wraith
#

The bad part is when you need a tech that cost x10 of what a base tech for that should cost

#

As you lost clients

humble remnant
#

Well, Unreal Engine has been popular for movie production for a while now

#

IIRC Lazy Town used UE3 for its backgrounds

#

So now with this tech costing (supposedly) a lot less, I can see it becoming popular everywhere

#

Both in terms of licensing and hardware cost at the very least

#

If you can burp out movie quality scenes at realtime on a PS5, that speeds up production by a huge margin

#

Or well, PS5 equivalent hardware (RTX 2060? or so)

median wraith
#

this solution from that images looks the reverse of LPV GI

#

seems like only does black areas

#

and the rest is faked with lights

humble remnant
#

For realtime it's probs good enough

fathom wadi
#

"If you can burp out movie quality scenes at realtime on a PS5, that speeds up production by a huge margin"
This is only true to a point purely depending on the complexity of what you are doing. There will be cases that this tech causes "perfectionism" and requirements for the end product cost more time than would be allocated because it can reach so far. I guess a good systems analysis person will be able to measure the balancing points, so you could say it's more job creation for those that can afford it.

humble remnant
#

It'll probs be better for previews at least

fathom wadi
#

for sure. I work way faster with RTX even with a 1080ti

humble remnant
#

If you can see realtime the scene before running it through RT rendering

fathom wadi
#

Im only doing simple things though. My production lighting is simple too. But the extra slack on not having to bake lighting to see if materials are lit properly is a life saver for my attention span

humble remnant
#

Absolutely

#

I personally am doing a virtual production project at the moment at a turbolow budget

#

RT on a 1070Ti, a Kinect as a webcam/real world scene depth detector and bone animation

#

But well, framerate is less than desirable in most cases

#

Getting the realtime performance of UE5 would be great

#

I can only hope that the upcoming previews offer me something

fathom wadi
#

I really want to play some games with it enabled. I can't handle less than 60fps/GSync compensated graphics. I see the frame skipping too much. Not to mention the most recent games like Cyberpunk won't even let me enable it with a 1080ti. Scammers 😄

that was the main purpose

You can still sell it on lower price

Or you can guess on how the mechanics works and implement them yourself in the best way possible

median wraith

well, no lol

if its not super simple its prolly not a good fit

maybe if you use the new audio system

@carmine frigate I sold 0 units from the instance tools

on itch, but posted on forums etc

yea itch prolly has way lower sales even with forum post, but i have no numbers of that

#

lot of ppl dont have an account

sometimes stuff is just real weid, you give something away for free for a few months and u have lil to no downloads, now u add a 30$ price tag and people want it

there is a guy that did some pixel tool and sold well it seems

na other small tool

#

aseprite isn't on itch

oh it is

#

well have more sales than aseprite

#

promote tools with famous accounts and stolen art is nice it seems

#

You know Asset Forge? It surprising to me people are willing to pay for it

median wraith

yeah but because that guy is know

#

programmers get it mainly

its like a lego builder

it is very bad tool tho

median wraith
#

I had a complex tool

wise smelt
#

it's not only because complexity

median wraith
#

sold couple of units but even indies working in the industry don't know what thats for

like something for a single purpose is better than a multi tool box

#

if you have infinite wallet, that is

I mean I made 2 multi purpose tools that cover a lot of issues, but the people usually don't spend the time or don't get it for whatever reason it is, too complex for them

they even modeled sound travel time which I don't know if any game did at the time

and a 7970 as well

got a 1080ti after it and it's been pretty smooth sailing

cedar tapir
foggy path
#

I'd definitely research the drivers before making a purchasing decision for an AMD card

#

they seem good on the price to performance value at least

foggy path
#

well, the drivers were a bit iffy and had some weird bugs sometimes, but overall I didn't have any major problems with the 7970

besides the fact that if I wanted to watch Netflix I had to set my monitor refresh rate to 60hz because anything above it would just cause it to show nothing but static

I just want to know, with so much investor capital raised by Discord, when are they going to start feeding us ads?

#

And when they do, do we go back to irc?

median wraith
#

didn't know we had a onlyLuos channel in here

#

how cool

foggy path
#

the problem with irc has always been discoverability imo

#

for new and especially less technically inclined users it's just a pain in the ass

#

the other problem is the account persistence thing where when you log off you disappear which is inconvenient

#

and things like MemoServ are so obscure that even regular irc users might not be aware of how they work :P

#

(and yes you can get a bnc or run a client on a server or something but that's not something the average user is hugely inclined to do)

#

Yeah

#

Twitch is basically just authenticating you as you log in, which is something irc servers have been capable of doing... they just back the authentication to the twitch user DB I guess

#

There's also things like NickServ which offer nickname protection, preventing other users from taking your name

#

But it's also kind of cumbersome to use, requiring you to authenticate by sending a username and password to NickServ as you log in

#

of course you can configure it to be automatic but that requires you to be able to figure out how to do that in your specific IRC client and at least in the ones I've used it never was super obvious at least to an average user

#

Yeah, IRC isn't user friendly lol

#

There was that one web based IRC client hosting services which was popular a while back... forget what it's called

#

that was probably the easiest way for new users to start and have less of the typical technical hurdles

#

but I think the service would cost money if you wanted the more useful features... not much, but it's still a barrier

If you do your own publishing, you are just doing that - self-publishing.

It kinda makes the term 'indie' irrelevant if it was only about having or not a publisher.

It's not that difficult to figure out from the content examples but is there much that has changed with the initial setup for 4.26?

#

there is a content example room with a series of examples. Showing the fracturing process etc. It's basically : take mesh -> fracture to some tweaked voronoi detail level -> add anchors for things like structural supports -> Perhaps add particle emitter for dust -> good to go.
You can go further I guess but for basic prototyping it's quick enough

carmine frigate

in the learn tab

One of the key things about getting a nice setup is modularity. Making sure that you don't just expect magic from a single mesh building or object. Break it up first, make it ready to break apart further.

WTB inter-process shared texture example

foggy path
#

I've tried doing something like that on D3D11 API level and it's kind of a pain... you need to allocate the texture with a "shared" flag or whatever it was

humble remnant
#

It was added in this version and I've been hitting a wall over and over

#

Damn thing's pretty tough

#

And just using the API as documentation isn't exactly convenient

foggy path
#

If it has a function or constant or something that's used to do it maybe you can find usages to see if it's used anywhere else

humble remnant
#

The exercise is the following: Using a render target of a background to be used in a different process, for virtual production

#

So one process renders the background, the "main one" renders the full scene, but the main needs access to the RT texture for materials and stuff

#

That seems supported in the BP version, but the BP version doesn't even have the functions

Since democrats won - do you think US is going to start a new war?

#

Also am I wrong or most wars in US were started by democrats?

#

Why do they like it? I was thinking that left is all about peace, love and butterflies

You need to study more.

zenith obsidian
#

Are you sure?

north torrent
#

Yes.

zenith obsidian
#

What makes you so sure?

north torrent
#

You aren't at the level to ask me questions yet. Go study and come back.

Unless of course you want to pay me to tutor you.

Are coroutines common in Unity projects? Unreal doesn't seem to have a similar concept

I am just a man who isn't going to do free research for people on the internet.

You might want to start by learning the difference between real journalism and fringe conspiracy websites.

zenith obsidian
#

And real journalist is what you say is real?

#

Man you have delusions and lack of self awareness

north torrent
#

I don't even have to tell you what I do or don't believe. I don't owe that to you.

I just know that you are spouting nonsense and should probably go study.

zenith obsidian
#

Bruh I can return to you anything you say

#

If you try to prove your point you need to put facts on table

north torrent
#

You aren't on the level to even discuss this with me.

zenith obsidian
#

Otherwise you are just a fanboying for democrats and have nothing to say

fresh heath
#

The "good cop" party vs the "bad cop" party, such a boring topic

zenith obsidian
north torrent
#

I never brought up the topic of Democrats.

#

You have zero idea what my opinion on Democrats or Republicans is.

zenith obsidian
#

I really hit the point with saying you do suffer from some kind of mental disorder

zenith obsidian
#

bruh why lie

north torrent
#

I am not going to express an opinion on political matters right now.

I am just saying that you clearly need to study more and stay away from fringe conspiracy theory websites.

fresh heath
#

Let's talk about coroutines instead

My claim is purely about you as a person and not a statement about politics.

Can I eat a coroutine?

Is it a kind of French bread?

I am about the second part of your answer

#

Like you believe that you possess some divine knowledge

#

You aren't on the level to have a real conversation with, oiuytrewtyui. When you grow up and get some education maybe you will be worth the time to converse with about a subject.

How much will you pay me?

Tutoring costs money.

@solar nebula. I made the charcter and yonked the animation

#

Character Creator 3.

hollow basalt
#

Yee

north torrent
#

It's a useful program to have.

zenith obsidian
#

So what's his job?

hollow basalt
#

Got a copy for chrismas. Its much better than make human

#

But make human do make better butts

zenith obsidian
#

I work for KBG i ll have you knw

#

I am also an austronaut

north torrent
#

I use Character Creator 3 in combination with Zbrush.

zenith obsidian
#

and an actor

hollow basalt
#

I still need zbruah

north torrent
#

It allows me to quickly iterate on ideas and try things that would take much longer in Zbrush.

hollow basalt
#

Gonna nake zombines and would be nixe to have

north torrent
#

I Zbrush the final models and such, but Character Creator 3 allows me to quickly move between different ideas.

hollow basalt
#

Cant you use both and convert between them?

#

Was gonna do so to make a mix match clothing on a base to grt a lot of zombies done quick

north torrent
#

I can make a realistic version of a character, then make a stylized caricature version of a character. Then I can use the sliders to slide between them and find an art style that fits my project.

Then I can also make a character that has specific elements of my art style and then use the sliders to add varying degrees of that to each character I make to try to keep a common thing going across all my characters.

#

It is very easy to move from Zbrush to Character Creator.

You could export to Zbrush, zombie up the character, export back to Character Creator, and then make a 'zombie' slider that can apply to other characters.

hollow basalt
#

Do you have a youtube link to something like that?

north torrent
#

I just look up stuff on the Reallusion YouTube channel.

hollow basalt
#

Ight. I was there but still very basics like exporting

north torrent
#

Creating a slider is pretty simple.

#

Have you tried that yet?

hollow basalt
#

Nope. Didnt know you could espically for stuff like that

north torrent
#

First go to the top left of the screen, next to "File" and "Edit" you will see "Create".

#

Then click "Head and Body Morph Slider".

#

Then you can choose whether you want to save it has a Head Slider, Body Slider, or Both.

Give it a name.

#

did he leave? (the troll)
It was just getting funny

north torrent
#

Then when you click 'Ok' it will save what you have as a slider than can now be added to all your other characters you make.

#

It will save it in the category you type into the box.

hollow basalt
#

Nive imma look into that

north torrent
#

Where it says 'Custom Heads' that is a category I made to keep my character heads in. But you can save it to any of the existing categories such as 'Nose' or make one called 'Zombie' or whatever else.

hollow basalt
#

Nice

north torrent
#

But it works well when you have two ideas and want to make both, it will allow you to slide between them and decide the final product.

#

That's why I really like Character Creator 3 as opposed to just using Zbursh for everything.

#

I made a 'Make Chinese' slider that turns characters in Character Creator 3 to look Chinese...

cursive crypt
#

Make burger?

north torrent
#

I could make a slider to make characters look like a burger... Not sure how useful it would be.

cursive crypt
#

Mao, do you use your custom shaders in UE, or their ones?

north torrent
#

By the end of a project I use my own shaders. But at the moment I just have placeholder assets while I block out the gameplay.

#

I like the Unreal shader tool.

cursive crypt
#

I haven't yet advanced so much to need to tweak them, but I think these 20+ mats will need refactoring.

cursive crypt
north torrent
#

That is what I am referring to.

#

I learned Unreal 3 as an environment artist as visual FX guy long before I ever actually learned how to do the game design elements of a project.

cursive crypt
#

haha, sounds about right

north torrent
#

So my first few years of Unreal 3 was primarily making custom shaders for different things such as waterfalls or snowy surfaces or alien spaceships or materials for particle effects.

If I started learning Unreal in 2020 would I have started the same way? Probably not. But back then there weren't as many things easily available to just pick up and use. It was basically a full time job for me to make them for a project.

#

Back in those days it was rare for developers to make a material that used vertex painting and height maps to paint detail such as dirt or snow onto the level, so that alone got me one job.

cursive crypt
#

Haven't used ue3.

north torrent
#

I don't recommend it in 2020.

cursive crypt
#

I think I understand.

north torrent
#

But it was still better than Unity a decade ago.

#

Back in the day I learned Unreal 3, Unity, the Hammer Editor for Valve's Source Engine, and the CryEngine.

#

Working in Source was by far the worst. Unity didn't have good options for artists to make pretty projects.

cursive crypt
#

It bugs me a bit that UE texture viewer has no panning in 2020 🤔

so is robo recall free when you buy a quest? not finding a definitive answer online

cursive crypt

I guess, yes. Quest then should be then the VR hardware.
