or doors where the beds don't fit

pearl elk
#

hospital beds can come apart

#

thats extremely low for a trolly bed though

#

this is why you dont get designers to do an engineers job 🙂

cursive crypt
#

tbh, "designer" is quite wide range of domains. For example, I have colleagues which are Digital Designers - that's hard engineering discipline. Then there are Software Designers 🙂 At the end Design should be about function and stuff, so to me that's a bit different from 'art' oriented work like dunno, coming up with concepts or sculpting or so...

pearl elk
#

so where does art end and design begin?

cursive crypt
#

In the bed? Dunno, better to talk about a particular case.

#

lol

median wraith
#

test test

#

wait

#

there is a difference ?

#

since when you can use _ and * as the same parameter ?

foggy path
#

🤔

#

isn't _ supposed to do underline

#

maybe discord doesn't do that and instead does italics with it

median wraith
#

seems like _ and * does italics

pearl elk
#

italics_

foggy path
#

italics

pearl elk
#

bold

foggy path
#

ah right two underlines for that

#

weird

median wraith
#

what the hell you did

#

and how the hell thats done

#

😂

cursive crypt
#

its a theme thing afaik

median wraith
#

png don't support mipmaps

#

so how the hell

pearl elk
#

its interlaced

cursive crypt
#

pearl elk
#

theres two images, the thumbnail is in the scanlines

median wraith
#

fun fact

cursive crypt
#

Ah, then that's different. The other trick was to blend it with the dark theme.

median wraith
#

if you resize it you spot the shadows in the back

#

but until the browser don't refresh or something and you change the tab and return this don't happen

#

at switch tab that happen

#

same size

I'm going to make a pizza 🍕

median wraith

for me ?

pearl elk

cursive crypt
#

lmao, I don't mind in practice, but life is harsh and you are on the other side of the cable 😄

median wraith
#

real question: whats the height of a average person lost at sit into a chair ?

#

25% of the total height ?

pearl elk
#

Im sure if you solve that issue you'll be the richest person alive

#

pizza beamed directly to your mouth

#

@median wraith your height doesnt change just cuz you sit 😛

median wraith
#

lol well thats a good reply but whats the total vertical change ?

pearl elk
#

average LBR of a male is 34, 35

#

leg-to-body ratio (LBR)

#

huzzah for sports sciences

median wraith
#

man Discord don't like pink or brown images

pearl elk
#

I think they mean to say 3:4 or 3:5 but I cant be sure

median wraith
#

Discord think the manequin with orange light are nudes

#

lets rebuild the light

#

there you go finally

pearl elk
#

that chair is too small

median wraith
#

why ?

#

🤫

pearl elk
#

because Im not that much shorter than mannequin and I have one exactly the same but the back comes up high enough for me to rest my head on

median wraith
#

its small even for their own asset pack

#

🙂

#

nice...

pearl elk
#

yeah the leg to body ratio is clearly different for their guy

#

but thats why these chairs have the gas compress thinggy so you can adjust it to your legs

median wraith
#

let me open the example map in other project

cursive crypt
#

Nice brows ^

median wraith
#

XD

gaunt barn
#

anyone here with "datetime" experience? i add second every tick but when it reacher 60 it starts all over again, without adding to the minute

median wraith
#

yeah all the chairs are kinds small compared with the rest of things it seems @pearl elk

pearl elk
#

I have an eye for these things 🙂

#

dont let me look at your UVs hehe

median wraith
#

anyway the UE4 manequin is bad for that

#

have no neck

pearl elk
#

thats partially a rig problem too

#

shoulders are blade joints, the collar bones kinda float which gives the shoulder more movement than just a simple ball

median wraith
#

should be something more like that

#

and still the guy have absurd length in the legs

pearl elk
#

if you look at the 3dsmax CAT standard character I think it is, that is a better rig

cursive crypt
#

I think you are kinda trying to fit stylistic character in the physical reality of the chair.

median wraith
#

so yeah the legs must be a bit longer than the chest

cursive crypt

that's nothing, there are some ships going for $30k+ 😂

I'm in for $20 bux just to have a lifetime warranty ship or whatever

what about $200k bux

sage ermine
#

I bought aurora, that's my limit

north torrent
#

I paid $40 for Star Citizen so I could play the game.

It really does have a very interesting flight system where you can enter and leave the atmosphere of different planets and such.

But the learning curve is a mess with no instructions, and there isn't much to do.

#

Though I realized, those people who spend $1,000 on ships want nothing more than to show them off. So as a guy with just the base game it is easy to just 'borrow' one of the expensive ships from them. I've flown most of the expensive ships currently in the game just with my base game purchase.

steady tulip
#

A piece of DLC so expensive you could buy a house

nice

north torrent
#

The game is more fun if you have flight simulator joysticks and treat it like a futuristic flight simulator.

zinc matrix
#

I think I spent about 400 Euro on ships 🙂

fresh heath
#

I can't imagine spending so much on a virtual ship in a game that's not even out of alpha yet

#

You guys are so rich

zinc matrix

ya its insane, I buy them and make bad youtube vids with them thats pretty much it 😄

I was doing a garbage mission where I just have to get rid of some garbage for some shady company.

#

How are you liking cyberpunk so far?

zinc matrix
#

I am an old man and pretty demanding, no games got me immersed just a little for the last years, but Cyberpunk did it again

dim ruin
#

The game that's really drawn me in the past 5 years or so now is Wurm Online. It's definitely not for everybody but its pretty much ruined almost all other gaming for me

#

its so lackluster too

zinc matrix

I only played StarCitizen lately, cause its the most relaxing after a long work day, but the cyberpunk story is awesome

@zinc matrix that was my tweet 😄

the third DX12 game I know to be successfully translated to Vulkan on Posix

fathom wadi

the game runs sweet for me since the 1.06 patch. I've actually been shocked that I've not dipped below 41fps since with medium everything (ultra some) in 2K with a 1080ti

I was surprised it runs so well on my Vega, but it seems to do well with the Vega architecture 🙂

actually wanted to buy a 6900 for it for christmas, but yeah... no chance

I wanted a new home for my family but this year has been awful. I bet this year is gonna be worse.

#

with that in mind, will Unreal for Moving money 😄

zinc matrix

🙂

#

If I got better, I will help you

#

c++ I know, blender I am learning, materials, landscape, wind so far I have gotten

fathom wadi
#

Not interested in help, thanks anyway 🙂 I want to earn it

#

im a generalist but I do focus more on programming c++/BP and slate/UMG stuff

#

I did learn Blender this year though which was probably the best thing about the entire year

zinc matrix
#

ya that is a world on its own

#

I had to unlearn all the shortcuts I knew from vim 🙂

fathom wadi
#

honestly it doesn't even take that long to learn it. To specialise is another story 🙂

#

its called Blender tho

#

¬_¬

zinc matrix
#

The camera system is completly unituitive for me in blender

#

especially when switching between blender and UE I get confused

fathom wadi
#

really? I find the Unreal one really annoying now since I started using Blender

#

yeah the switch is awful

#

I could probably work up a system to emulate the Blender camera controls (if not other control methods) for unreal but I have a whole bunch of stuff in the meantime

zinc matrix

ya I figured, if you dig into game development, your freetime is canceled 😄

#

OS development was easier^^ 😄

I am going to quarantine myself inside my home next month for 14 days. Pretend like I was exposed to someone with corona virus and am being careful.

But I just want to stay in my apartment and work on game design and music and write stories...

Enjoy the time you can do that^^ For me its too late, I have to many stalkers

Can you make it 14 years Mao? Then you can finish my project too 😄

I need to make money, so no.

My job only pays me for 3 weeks of vacation.

If I am fit one day, I'ld like to team up

I work unpaid if the project is fun

#

looking for a learning experience

fathom wadi
#

why do you need to make money when you live in a communist country? Seems like an epic fail to me :p

zinc matrix
#

im new to unreal and i have no idea what im doing. Could anyone give me some tips.

north torrent
#

Seems like you don't understand the difference between Communist and Socialist.

fathom wadi
#

its a joke

#

do you have them there too?

north torrent
#

Communism is more about the people owning the means to production, and the people in this case being represented by the government.

zinc matrix
#

ya 1st tip dont use 4.26 on Linux its broken

north torrent
#

So the hospital is literally called 'The People's Hospital' as it isn't owned by a corporation or some investor who needs to buy a new yacht.

So things are cheaper at the The People's Hospital, but there is no system of universal healthcare like Socialism.

#

Second tip, why would you use Linux?

fathom wadi
#

why would you use windows?

zinc matrix
#

because

north torrent
#

To see outside.

zinc matrix
#

porn is smoother on it

north torrent

To let my plants get sunlight.

#

Without letting the cold air in.

zinc matrix

What do you want to do, Mr. Bourne65?

fathom wadi

Seems like you don't understand the difference between an operating system and a window.

xDD

north torrent

I do not, Mr. Rogerson.

zinc matrix

im just trying to make something simple to get used to unreal

north torrent
#

Make what?

fathom wadi
#

cowboy pistol duelling in multiplayer is a good start.

zinc matrix
#

simple ? hm

#

I havent met simple tho far

north torrent
#

First person shooters are simple.

zinc matrix
#

i shouldnt be doing this lol im only 14

#

could make a cube thats simple

fathom wadi
#

@zinc matrix huh? Thats WHEN you should be starting to do it

#

my kid is 10 and uses Blender and various engines

north torrent
#

You first have to decide if your interest is in programming or game design or making pretty 3d art.

fathom wadi
#

not very well but still hes learning

zinc matrix
#

yeah 14-19 are your best years, after that come woman

north torrent
#

Then from there you can start to narrow things down.

#

Stay away from women, Jason. They will take all your money.

fathom wadi
#

not if you dont have any money to take

north torrent
#

Leave you no time for game design and no money for RTX graphics cards.

zinc matrix
#

im in love with game design and all the inspiration that goes in to it

north torrent
#

Mr. Rogerson lives in a shoe... You shouldn't take his financial advice.

#

I'm a Communist, you can trust me.

#

So you are interested in how game mechanics work?

fathom wadi
#

I live in a shoe so im not a burden on the state. Im way more commie than this pseudo-red chump :p

north torrent
#

Have you ever designed a board game?

zinc matrix
#

Nope

#

im in love with making environments

fathom wadi
#

good place to start then

#

the new landscape tools are pretty cool

zinc matrix
#

im just confused on how to do anything its just so many tabs

north torrent
#

I think I need to clear one thing up.

Game Design is a phrase with two different meanings.

There is Game Design as a whole, which basically means the process of making a game. This definition is way too broad for discussion inside the industry though.

As a role on a team, the 'Game Designer' concerns himself with making game mechanics and making levels challenging or fun.

fathom wadi
#

focus on what you are doing at the time. Not what you are doing over the next 20 steps to get to where you want to be. Write down your process, iterate. Don't presume you are gonna get it right first time, you won't. Nobody ever does. Not even the best. Refactoring is everything.

north torrent
#

If you like making environments look pretty, then that is considered a 'Game Artist' like myself.

Making environments is a very good job to do if you want to make games. All games need pretty environments and companies are always hiring entry level environment artists.

#

So if that's what you are interested in, I would say go for it.

Your first step should be just making a small scene that looks nice.

#

Don't worry about making game stuff. Just worry about using Unreal to make a scene that looks appealing.

zinc matrix
#

Quick question how would you make a blank project

fathom wadi
#

can I see some of your game art mao? Not seen any before

north torrent
#

I will send you a YouTube link in just a minute, Jason.

#

I think that should cover the basics, Jason.

zinc matrix
#

thanks

north torrent
#

And don't worry about the massive amount of information out there about Unreal. Even the experienced people can't learn it all.

#

Right now I am just doing characters, Mr. Rogerson.

#

You want to see some characters?

#

I have a landscape with nothing on it. I am still doing grey boxes and such.

red pewter
#

neato

zinc matrix
#

those strange heightmaps make me unsure

#

they may look nice from above but what do they do for the game

#

if you google for unreal engine and heightmaps you find none and I think for a reason

north torrent
#

It is all designed so that the player can always orientate him or herself by seeing the positions of the mountains and the lake.

#

When you look at it from the scale of the player, the spiral gives a sense of direction and a central hub to guide from.

fathom wadi
#

how are you finding gaia?

north torrent
#

I found it to be important that the player can navigate simply through the positions of the mountains, since I don't want to use a minimap at all.

#

Gaia does its job, and it is much easier than World Machine.

fathom wadi
#

i just find landscapes already made and do some non-destructive editing on it currently. I haven't made one from scratch since way back with WM

north torrent
#

I had certain specific needs for this mountain village and the path the train takes. So I had to do mine from scratch.

zinc matrix
#

I created a landscape with tesselation today and had 8 materials

#

after applieing the first on a 500x500 test site, it said 2534 shaders compiling 😄

north torrent
#

I was working on grey boxing out my town when I got bored and started making music and characters instead...

#

I've also been learning Substance because I am old and it didn't exist back when I was working the the game industry.

humble remnant
#

Boxing out a map is really tough unless you're doing it for an arcade

#

You need to find a purpose for every single box you put

north torrent
#

For me it is all about composition and storytelling.

humble remnant
#

No matter gameplay or storytelling, putting a box in a random place does nothing of use

north torrent
#

In the past I have done level design for first person shooters and it is a totally different beast than setting a composition for art purposes.

fathom wadi
#

you can never under-estimate the genius of a true envrionment artist. They see beyond so far outside of the box of normal thinking, it's always super impressed me when it's done right. The Division maps are probably my fave.

north torrent
#

I'm trying to incorporate a lot of the things I have learned from studying cinematography, but adapting it to a player controlled camera.

#

Even though in a game I don't get to set a camera in a particular spot, I do have the ability to lead a player to enter a town in a particular way without him or her even knowing it.

zinc matrix
#

I have the ability to make air smell

north torrent
#

I can set up my 'shot' simple by changing the direction a player enters an area. Set up my shots around natural choke points such as cliffs or town gates or the way homes and shops are lined up.

zinc matrix
#

If I ever play a game from you and like it, remember me to hate me till I die 😄

north torrent
#

Most people won't like my games.

#

I don't make games for people to like.

fathom wadi
#

I don't make games apparently. Just bits of games. Tried to make one myself and burned out 😄 #theusualstory

#

I blame covid lockdown tho. no quiet time to code so I was doing it with kid running amok

humble remnant
#

One way I sorta prevented burnout was to focus on just making a framework

north torrent
#

I just make what I want to make.

humble remnant
#

I did make what I wanted to make

#

It's just that I took a bit of a sidestep to make sure if I swap what I'm doing, it's gonna be a lot easier

#

One thing that was fun was getting into game jams and trying to adapt that framework into the theme in the most crazy way

north torrent
#

I used to enjoy Game Jams when I was younger.

humble remnant
#

Sometimes I open an active jam and make a game with a slight modification of the rules (mostly for the time)

fathom wadi
#

never done a game jam. Unless you call the Make something unreal competition one. But it wasn't really.

north torrent
#

Lately I've barely touched Unreal and mostly been working in Zbrush or Substance or FL Studio.

fathom wadi
#

4.26 has some nice stuff in it

humble remnant
#

I'm too much of an artistic vegetable to get to those

#

I tried with a number of tools but I'm just not fit for it

#

Waiting for the day when you can just scan your mind for the 3D model you've been thinking of

fathom wadi
#

Blender is for everyone I say. Even my kids can use it

#

Neurosity might be on that case

#

been following that for a while. Still early days but its kinda working

#

I presume its gonna need some kind of personalised learning machine that is way more advanced than the current "I can get it to type in notepad" stuff, but eventually it has to map it all out right?

#

It would still need the skills to use as reference to use it I guess. So learning it isn't worthless as preparation

north torrent
#

Most of art is decision making. I don't think there is an possibility of a future where you can scan what you are thinking and it is made. Thoughts are too abstract and have too many holes.

#

The process of making art is about making decisions and filling in those holes.

humble remnant
#

For sure, and I guess I'll stick with mechanics design for now

north torrent
#

Nobody can do everything.

#

As an environment artist my stuff all looks very dated, as I haven't kept my skills up with the changing technology.

#

So I have a lot of stuff I need to work on.

how cna I speed up android deployement

#

it takes like 20mins on my laptop to build an deploy in editor and I need to debug :[

pearl elk
#

add commands for testing different code paths in a single build rather than trying to do it iteratively, debugging is a big pond though, is there anything specific you wish to optimise?

abstract haven
#

its just a blueprint which is crashing out the android build but its working on desktop

#

but I cant add breakpoints and debug on android so easily

pearl elk

yeah maybe try and enum with some variants and use a console command or some dev UI widget to switch through to test the different code paths to see whats causing the issue

#

or turn on some verbose logging to show exactly where the crash occurs

Guys any good tutorial for substance painter?

soft night
#

Unreal Setting is sure better than Epic Setting

carmine frigate
#

also stylized doesnt mean unlit 😛

#

they do have a cheaper shader i believe

#

AO diffuse normal dont recall what exactly they use

#

pretty similar to realistic shader w/o metallic or something

lone grail
#

I like making stylized visuals while lit, I don't like unlit because I always require shadows

carmine frigate
#

you can still have some forms of shaddow with unlit

lone grail
#

I haven't really messed around with unlit to try and get shadows with it

carmine frigate
#

wel u can use capsules for shadow casting and fake backlights and stuff

lone grail
#

What about getting the mesh's shadow?

carmine frigate
#

capsule, it just wont self shaddow

lone grail
#

But capsule wouldn't show limbs of the character

carmine frigate
#

u use multiple capsules

lone grail
#

I guess, but that doesn't seem like a very good work around

carmine frigate
#

robo recall uses capsule shaddows

#

you could also use a lowpoly shadowcasting mesh

lone grail
#

That seems better

carmine frigate
#

well its supposed to be a workaround

#

its really cheap compared with normal shads

lone grail
#

Okay well that's good then, I've done celshading shaders before using unlit but creating a shader that then gives you accurate shadows of the mesh and self shadows

carmine frigate
#

robo recal is full lit tho, they just used it for performance gains

lone grail
#

Yeah since VR need all performance they can get makes sense

carmine frigate
#

goin unlit in most cases its for 2d stuff or to save performance

lone grail
#

Or anime shaders lol

thats usually lit with custom normals

Would it be wise to start a new project using the Chaos vehicle system? or should I use the wonky PhysX vehicle system?

broken sigil

My advice would be to develop your own since neither of them are that great (in my opinion)

#

If you have the knowledge to do sl

#

So

dim ruin
#

thats disheartening. I had high hopes for chaos vehicles 😦

carmine frigate
#

just mocap a car

lone grail
#

I could make a hover vehicle with raycasts, I've done it before but with the help of a tutorial, but I just dunno how to have it so the suspension works with wheels instead of just hover

dim ruin
#

@carmine frigate lol

broken sigil
#

Chaos one from what I've seen seems to be better than physx one, they stil might improve it

lone grail
#

Yeah that's why I wanna use it, and it still have plently of room to grow, and PhysX is on its way out the door

carmine frigate
#

those fortnite cars run on chaos?

lone grail
#

Yeah

carmine frigate
#

hmm not great, not the worst

lone grail
#

Chaos has better collision with other vehicles than physX

dim ruin
#

I think their cars handling like ass is intentional though due to networking

carmine frigate
#

it should be pretty similar for all players tho

broken sigil
lone grail
#

Well I made my vehicle system in unity but I require features in both pipelines so middle ground is UE since it's all 1 package so I need something lol, I'm sure with enough tweaking of it I could get it working nicely.

#

Yeah I'm just not sure how to go about doing the movement with the wheels

broken sigil
#

Suspension I would say is the easy part, it gets more complicated with the tire model and engine/gearbox sim depending on how complicated you want it to be

lone grail
#

Yeah suspension is easy for sure, I've done that before, I want arcade racer like NFS but less detailed still, like a middle ground between NFS and Mario Kart, so just acceleration, top speed, no gears, drifting, pretty much it

broken sigil
#

That shouldn't be too difficult, but would definitely recommend doing it in c++ so you have access to substepping

carmine frigate
#

also mayB do hover things

lone grail
#

I actually did create my project as C++ I can think better in code than visual nodes lol

broken sigil
#

Yeah can relate to that lol

lone grail
#

I did see a video of someone using physics joints as suspension and moving the wheels, so that might be a way, dunno if it'd be better than custom raycast points.... ohhhhhh I think I actually thought of how I'd do a custom one

broken sigil
#

Problem with constraints is that it can be unstable at high speed and requires you to basically disable friction on the wheels so you can implement the tire forces yourself

carmine frigate
#

it seemed constraints hold up a lil better in chaos, still not perfect tho

lone grail
#

Yeah, I just drew a few diagrams with theory on how I could make a custom vehicle system using raycast with wheels and drive with wheels

broken sigil
#

With a sphere trace or a set of line traces to simulate a round wheel you can get a raycast suspension to look really good

lone grail
#

I could drive the wheels as if they are physics balls but only forward, rotate front wheels to offset Vector forward to turn, and raycast for suspesion, of course fill in the rest where needed but could be a decent way

median wraith
broken sigil
#

🙀

median wraith
#

Chaos and physx are both right now kinda meh

#

Plus the one that made the vehicle systems didn't exposed anything to blueprints

#

So you cannot make even a racing game as all the cars must be fixed

#

Or you must rewrite the whole module

lone grail
#

Okay, I'm gonna work on my own custom system and hope for the best, I have a decent plan I think, sadly I can't work on it now I gotta go to work in 10 mins, got tomorrow off to work on it

median wraith
#

Or do all via cpp

lone grail
#

I'll be doing most mine via cpp anyway, good practice

median wraith
#

Okay then

#

What's your gf name? Isabad

lone grail
#

I'm not into buying assets though

#

I prefer to do everything myself

median wraith
#

Yeah no worries

lone grail
#

I don't have the funds to really spend on additional things which is mostly why lol

median wraith
#

We're a joke

broken sigil
lone grail
#

So basically in a BP have wheels at ground level, set Raycasts to meet middle of wheel, and somehow drive the wheels? pretty much it?

broken sigil
#

I have my system spawn the wheels in, the suspension has a wheel radius setting and when you get a return location from the trace you offset it by the wheel radius and that's your center location for where to update wheel's mesh location to

#

Basically your suspension drives the wheel location and not the other way around

lone grail
#

Oh okay, I'll add that to my notes, it sounds quite difficult but maybe I can figure it out

broken sigil
#

You would usually have 2 settings, suspension length and tire radius

It might be at first but once you get it working you'll see it's not that bad

lone grail
#

Okay I made notes, I won't be able to work on it until tomorrow, but thank you for the info I really appreciate it, I'm excited to try it out, drifting is a big part of my game so that's another challenge to work out but I'll tackle it when I get there, but I gotta get going

In my world politicians use words to persuade the people in general, the people get happy by their words and after the months pass away they do nothing of what they said and they do even the reverse

they do a chroma and alike layout scenario

so the actors are pasted over it

now will be a poitn and click you will see

Eat the rich!

In 2020, Musk's fortune went from 24billion to 205billion. How insane is that for someone who is an absolute arse but happens to put people who are geniuses together?

#

its hard to look at his face and have to still respect the electric car advancements, rocket science and neural implant technology knowing it came from his inspiration of putting his blood money to good use.

Reverse engineering in general is nok. Less to use it for other projects. It is just that some close eyes, sometimes benefitting a lot of it e.g. Skyrim/Fallout. 🤔

what's wrong with it?

sly solar
#

i cant download anything

red pewter
#

download throttling turned off?

#

I'm kinda at a loss to what would stop you from downloading stuff

#

low drive space?

sly solar
#

idk either i alr checked all the settings

make sure wherever your vault cache is has enough space at least

i find it slightly amusing that its called Unreal Motion Graphics, and I use everything else but UMG to animate with it. Material for flipbooks, in the world, manual timer animation. Literally never use the UMG animation stuff after my first attempt made me hit a wall and I worked around it with custom animation.

lone grail
#

I've never worked with UMG lol

fathom wadi
#

it was my bread and butter for a while. I expanded my skillset into c++ though so there are bigger fish to fry than redoing the same menu system for the 9000th time.

#

this is way more interesting. Having software that can access fracture data for particle emitters and systems. Just as soon as I understand it all.... I'll let you know if its worth knowing 😄

lone grail
#

I know some C++, I want to get used to more of the Unreal Engine specifics, gonna write my own vehicle system from scratch, might prototype it in blueprints then rewrite it in C++

fathom wadi
#

why re-invent the wheel? I mean, if it's for the educational purpose I see, but we have faked vehicles for years now so those methods are straight up (or down if you excuse the pun) tracing and inertia calcs. PhysX vehicles are so locked down tight you have to do them exactly how they say unless you want to dig into coding custom physx class stuff (not recommended as it's gibberish 😄 ). Now we have Chaos Vehicles that are still beta I think, but if I were to be doing any vehicles right now it would be Chaos Vehicles. There will be a demand at some point when more projects use chaos builds.

lone grail
#

I was talking with people earlier before work and it led to making my own would be better than PhysX and chaos

#

I am usually told that the PhysX implementation is not good and I tried chaos and it just didn't work at all for me, the suspension worked with the wheels but didn't drive or anything

fathom wadi
#

@lone grail if you take care to do everything right, it does work. It's been tested. Any bugs are usually situational as with all physics. Doing your own isn't a bad thing. But like I say, I think chaos vehicles are worth the timesink even with the current implementation bugs. They won't always be there. 😄 Making vehicles is fun tho.

lone grail
#

Okay maybe I'll try out chaos again first before diving into making my own, I'll use the docs instead of some random tutorial

fathom wadi
#

I read there were some issues with landscapes right now. Probably reacts oddly to awkward peaks or something. So test on a mesh first 🙂

lone grail
#

I always test on the default floor when I create a new level but thanks for the tip, and for things hitting the bottom of the car and stopping it, nothing a lil physics material on the body won't fix lol

#

I did make a really good and fun vehicle system out of Unity's wheel colliders which people say are really terrible, so I guess with enough tweaks anything is possible

there are translator apps for phones at least which do it on any text so you could try one of those I guess

When you put comparative images but give a shit about angles

#

never played that game tbh

ancient hornet
#

I'd say it's pretty enjoyable for the kind of game it is

#

basically non of the weird issues some adventure games had

#

no death/loss

#

no chasing tiny pixels

#

logic is okish

#

it's a funky world so expect somewhat funky situations/enigmas though

lone grail
#

I have the remastered version of the game but never played it

Is that Maniac's Mansion?

#

It's the only thing it comes to mind when I see such a tentacle.

lone grail

It's Day of the tentacle

ancient hornet

original maniac mansion was "cruder" visually
that look is indeed a lot closer to the refined art in Day of the Tentacle

cursive crypt
#

It was very scary game 👀

ancient hornet
#

I meant that the original Maniac mansion look was cruder than the snow sculpture we saw above 😛

Seems alot of companies are trying to distance themselves from this whole shit storm, the PGA pulled Trumps hosting of a tournament too

that one, that specific one, I find super funny 😄

I think the family will feel some lasting impacts for quite a long time, the unfortunate thing (for them) is the whole empire is built around the name so you cant distance them from their name, like choose a new face of the company n whatnot

maybe PGA can be held at Four Seasons Total Minigolf 😛

The PhysX one is too complicated for what I want, and the chaos on doesn't work without the chaos preview so hopefully it will be good enough as a replacement lol

#

I wonder how the Assetto Corsa Competizione vehicle physics is implemented

#

surely it's not bog standard physx

lone grail
#

I wouldn't think it would be, if it's the same studio that did that one as the older ones, then they always used their own engine with custom vehicle simulations so I would assume they built their own custom system in UE

foggy path
#

Yeah sounds likely given the game is praised as being perhaps the most realistic GT racing simulator out there along with iRacing

I've never played either, I'm more of a fan of arcade racing which is what I'm trying to make, but I appreciate what they've done

So far I got a hover car with suspension
