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 🙂
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...
so where does art end and design begin?
test test
wait
there is a difference ?
since when you can use _ and * as the same parameter ?
🤔
isn't _ supposed to do underline
maybe discord doesn't do that and instead does italics with it
seems like _ and * does italics
italics_
italics
bold
its a theme thing afaik
its interlaced
^
theres two images, the thumbnail is in the scanlines
fun fact
Ah, then that's different. The other trick was to blend it with the dark theme.
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 🍕
for me ?
lmao, I don't mind in practice, but life is harsh and you are on the other side of the cable 😄
real question: whats the height of a average person lost at sit into a chair ?
25% of the total height ?
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 😛
lol well thats a good reply but whats the total vertical change ?
man Discord don't like pink or brown images
I think they mean to say 3:4 or 3:5 but I cant be sure
Discord think the manequin with orange light are nudes
lets rebuild the light
there you go finally
that chair is too small
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
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
let me open the example map in other project
Nice brows ^
XD
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
yeah all the chairs are kinds small compared with the rest of things it seems @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
should be something more like that
and still the guy have absurd length in the legs
if you look at the 3dsmax CAT standard character I think it is, that is a better rig
I think you are kinda trying to fit stylistic character in the physical reality of the chair.
.. in certain videos I heard, they even start from the neck.
na, rather get them fit when they sit

Hey everyone! Just joined after hearing about this place from a UE4 livestream. Sounds like a great place. Good vibes!

it is, I'm part of it! So it definitively is!
I think star citizen is running out of money
they made a ton in 2020! what is making you think the opposite?
oh lmao hahaha, yeah.
that's nothing, there are some ships going for $30k+ 😂
can't find it now but I remember looking at it and scratching my head
what about $200k bux
I bought aurora, that's my limit
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.
A piece of DLC so expensive you could buy a house
nice
The game is more fun if you have flight simulator joysticks and treat it like a futuristic flight simulator.
I think I spent about 400 Euro on ships 🙂
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
ya its insane, I buy them and make bad youtube vids with them thats pretty much it 😄
Santa's first (attempted) delivery mission this year :)
I was doing a garbage mission where I just have to get rid of some garbage for some shady company.
I hid it on the back of someone's expensive ship and ran...
It is a fun game, I might re-install it later this week.

I play as a space hobo.
My helmet in Star Citizen is literally duct taped together.

I have always been fascinated by machines that combine incredible technology and beautiful designs. Trains are perfect examples of this. When I received the invitation to create this collection, I had just visited the Canadian Railway Museum in Montreal with my family. Obviously, it was the perfect theme for this signature pack. And a perfect […]
Got my new office chair in today. I feel safer already.
star citizen sells ships for tens of thousands of US dollars??!?! lol god damn
I had no idea. that's insane
the best thing about some people being utterly stupid, is you can get their money.
These cp2077 screenshots are potentially sensitive content apparently 😄
(disclaimer: None of them have anything even remotely near sensitive.)
He prolly choosen to play with a huge male schlong at the start 🙂
nah I went full simulation mode and gave myself a tiny nub
haha no, I meant that guy with sensitive media 🙂
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
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
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 😄
ah I see 🙂
Sound and everything is working now with Proton experimental :)
the third DX12 game I know to be successfully translated to Vulkan on Posix
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 😄
🙂
If I got better, I will help you
c++ I know, blender I am learning, materials, landscape, wind so far I have gotten
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
honestly it doesn't even take that long to learn it. To specialise is another story 🙂
its called Blender tho
¬_¬
The camera system is completly unituitive for me in blender
especially when switching between blender and UE I get confused
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
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...
Can you make it 14 years Mao? Then you can finish my project too 😄
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
why do you need to make money when you live in a communist country? Seems like an epic fail to me :p
im new to unreal and i have no idea what im doing. Could anyone give me some tips.
Seems like you don't understand the difference between Communist and Socialist.
Communism is more about the people owning the means to production, and the people in this case being represented by the government.
ya 1st tip dont use 4.26 on Linux its broken
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?
why would you use windows?
because
To see outside.
porn is smoother on it
I litterly Know nothing about unreal
What do you want to do, Mr. Bourne65?
Seems like you don't understand the difference between an operating system and a window.
😄
xDD
I do not, Mr. Rogerson.
im just trying to make something simple to get used to unreal
Make what?
cowboy pistol duelling in multiplayer is a good start.
First person shooters are simple.
@zinc matrix huh? Thats WHEN you should be starting to do it
my kid is 10 and uses Blender and various engines
You first have to decide if your interest is in programming or game design or making pretty 3d art.
not very well but still hes learning
yeah 14-19 are your best years, after that come woman
Then from there you can start to narrow things down.
Stay away from women, Jason. They will take all your money.
not if you dont have any money to take
Leave you no time for game design and no money for RTX graphics cards.
im in love with game design and all the inspiration that goes in to it
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?
I live in a shoe so im not a burden on the state. Im way more commie than this pseudo-red chump :p
Have you ever designed a board game?
im just confused on how to do anything its just so many tabs
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.
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.
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.
Quick question how would you make a blank project
can I see some of your game art mao? Not seen any before
I will send you a YouTube link in just a minute, Jason.
I think that should cover the basics, Jason.
thanks
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.
neato
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
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.
how are you finding gaia?
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.
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
I had certain specific needs for this mountain village and the path the train takes. So I had to do mine from scratch.
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 😄
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.
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
For me it is all about composition and storytelling.
No matter gameplay or storytelling, putting a box in a random place does nothing of use
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.
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.
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.
I have the ability to make air smell
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.
If I ever play a game from you and like it, remember me to hate me till I die 😄
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
I want to make a game where the main menu loops this song over and over.

One way I sorta prevented burnout was to focus on just making a framework
I just make what I want to make.
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
I used to enjoy Game Jams when I was younger.
Sometimes I open an active jam and make a game with a slight modification of the rules (mostly for the time)
never done a game jam. Unless you call the Make something unreal competition one. But it wasn't really.
Lately I've barely touched Unreal and mostly been working in Zbrush or Substance or FL Studio.
4.26 has some nice stuff in it
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
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
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.
For sure, and I guess I'll stick with mechanics design for now
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.
9 hours of baking lighting on a very strict deadline and this happens when it's encoding the lightmaps

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 :[
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?
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
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

Today, I am going to implement a detection meter for AI character sight component in unreal engine 4. You must have seen detection meters in games like farcry 5 farcry 3 and and also in assassins creed games when player goes into the vision cone of an enemy character, ...
oh no what the hell
Not sure why you need to get team then check if its enemy
what if they are more just like an annoying person youd rather not bump into?
what is the relationship between this thing and this thing, does it equal enemy... or are they friends, maybe its complicated 🙂
🤔
I love having 1000s of nodes for what you could do in one
is it not a good tutorial?
who knows, the last time I needed a BP tutorial the Berlin Wall was still up
parts of that wall still stand..
😛
last tiem i checked a bp vid he didnt know what an isvalid was, and said those errors when the game closes are just fine
something something it doesnt kill performance
all errors and warning should be eliminated
just turning the warnings off is fine too tho
if this were me each character would have a likeability index and then when someone see's you they determine whether youre an enemy based on how likeable you are
so if you smile and wave nicely they wont treat you like a criminal 😛
nothing to see here waving swipes gold when they turn their back

I had a friend used to collect gas masks for a while. We used to have old areas you could dig up and find world war 2 stuff. Found an unexploded bomb once.
I dont know why they call it an "unexploded" bomb. It's either a bomb, or it's a bunch of broken stuff spread far and wide.
there might be a point there where its both

Epic Fantasy vs High Fantasy, who wins 😛
Final Fantasy
you really want to know why CoDs framerates are better though?
this might be it
PS5 doesnt support it in hardware from what I know
xbox does
ps5 has different things that make software based version more doable plus other different trickery
Guys any good tutorial for substance painter?
Unreal Setting is sure better than Epic Setting
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
I like making stylized visuals while lit, I don't like unlit because I always require shadows
you can still have some forms of shaddow with unlit
I haven't really messed around with unlit to try and get shadows with it
wel u can use capsules for shadow casting and fake backlights and stuff
What about getting the mesh's shadow?
capsule, it just wont self shaddow
But capsule wouldn't show limbs of the character
u use multiple capsules
I guess, but that doesn't seem like a very good work around
robo recall uses capsule shaddows
you could also use a lowpoly shadowcasting mesh
That seems better
well its supposed to be a workaround
its really cheap compared with normal shads
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
robo recal is full lit tho, they just used it for performance gains
Yeah since VR need all performance they can get makes sense
goin unlit in most cases its for 2d stuff or to save performance
Or anime shaders lol
thats usually lit with custom normals
Most tutorials I've seen they do unlit
Yeah...
it looks lit 😛

Good god this looks atrocious:
TMap<int32, TMap<int32, TTuple<FRuntimeMeshSectionProperties, FRuntimeMeshRenderableMeshData, FBoxSphereBounds>>> SectionDataMap;
? Its just a map of maps
its god awful ugly. If you're chaining containers that deep, you're probably looking at the problem wrong
most of ue code is ugly if you ask me 🤷♂️ however, map of maps is not something so fancy. Especially in game deving, lmao.
its from a plugin
nice plugin but the owner has been MIA since receiving a mega grant
I would have thought there'd be some sort of obligation for the grant
haha, need to dev in the Canary islands.
that'd be a nice change of scenery
To be real, plugin authors has obligations, but not much. I also saw some MIAs.
Even some UE4's source is a complete disaster in some places, go digging through engine source and you'll be scratching your head how some of that ever passed any QA
Its kinda even surprising some of them update for 2-3+ years.
top reason I never attempted a marketplace plugin. I'd end up ignoring it lol
Please don't then, lol
back in like 4.16 I had a plugin I made to enable usage of most unsupported integrals to blueprints seamlessly but I knew damn well I had no interest in keep up on it through engine versions
But in practice is not so hard... maybe. I'm supporting few open source / free projects for years already. Ofc, much less pressure than paid work, but it goes surprisingly well.
it didn't change anything in the blueprint vm, just clever wrapping of values
Yeah tell me about it, maintained it for 4 years and now when I don't have time to work on it I'm getting a crap ton of angry emails and reviews dropped from 5 to 3 stars, people really expect me to support it forever
lol
Hmm... in these cases, I think you should put big label on the product page to warn clients you are not any longer working on it. After these 3 backward compatible versions required you may even take it down.
Yeah, not sure
I'm still doing engine upgrades but that's it
Just make it clear what are your plans for it.
like WARNING! I'm deleting my github and changing my email. Thank you for your support <3
I'd love to give something back to the community via plugins but I really don't have the time to maintain them.

Would it be wise to start a new project using the Chaos vehicle system? or should I use the wonky PhysX vehicle system?
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
thats disheartening. I had high hopes for chaos vehicles 😦
just mocap a car
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
@carmine frigate lol
Chaos one from what I've seen seems to be better than physx one, they stil might improve it
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
those fortnite cars run on chaos?
Yeah
hmm not great, not the worst
Chaos has better collision with other vehicles than physX
I think their cars handling like ass is intentional though due to networking
it should be pretty similar for all players tho
Suspension with vehicles is basically just a fancy raycast system,you move wheel meshes to the correct location so it looks like the wheels are what's colliding with the ground
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
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
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
That shouldn't be too difficult, but would definitely recommend doing it in c++ so you have access to substepping
also mayB do hover things
I actually did create my project as C++ I can think better in code than visual nodes lol
Yeah can relate to that lol
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
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
it seemed constraints hold up a lil better in chaos, still not perfect tho
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
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
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
He lies, use his vehicle system, that's it @lone grail
🙀
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
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
Or do all via cpp
I'll be doing most mine via cpp anyway, good practice
Okay then
Adam goes to the black list this year as didn't wanted to use the blue cars plug in, isabad kid
Nah hahaha 😅
Isabad, well that sounds as someone's name
Oh I didn't know you had your own you sell on the marketplace
Yeah I thought it was lol
What's your gf name? Isabad
Yeah no worries
I don't have the funds to really spend on additional things which is mostly why lol
We're a joke
Yep, same with me, whatever I can I'll do myself
All of the info I shared is what my system is doing so there is some inside info for you :stuck_out_tongue:
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?
The reverse
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
Oh okay, I'll add that to my notes, it sounds quite difficult but maybe I can figure it out
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
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
See ya and thank you @broken sigil
Feel free to dm me if you have questions 🙂
Okay thank you!
hmm my stuff aint highly sketchy enough too use that include
ill find some use for it somday
i just checked my computers performance on userbenchmark and i got the "tree trunk" category
i didnt know its that bad
its not that bad
i mean, sometimes i have to wait literally an hour or two to start it
Is your computer a PDP-10?
its a laptop, i was planning on getting a new computer for christmas but i cant get my hands on good gfx card
i dont think its worth it to get older geforces right now
there are computers in libraries, those are for public use , you can just grab one of those
it runs games just fine tho
@gaunt barn its AMD?
userbenchmark.com has very literal "if(cpu == amd) score = shit" in the code
Intel Core i5-8250U
userbenchmark is so utterly horrible that they have been banned from all decent tech sites
really?
yes
their bias is so absolutely insane that even high end intel cpus (xeons and the like) get laptop i3 level scores
still my ue breaks once i put more then 3-4 megascans asset on so theres some truth to it 😄
because they have code that if they have lots of cores penalizes everything, to fuck with AMD scores
blender has some benchmarks you can try
with public results
all right, i will check that out now
How old is this politician? They need to refresh and expand their vocabulary
That's sad
Free speech needs better defenders
Wish we had politicians that do something, rather than have an extended vocabulary
them all come with the ame vocabulary dlc that goes no where
not sure if you are looking for politicians or comedians
Politicians need to be eloquent if they want to achieve something
if you think so
I guess in your world politicians don't need to persuade other people
Well, in my country politicians just jail everyone who disagrees with them
Or assassinate them
I don't recommend this place, heh
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
so at the end these words have no value
We would have rather one of these country hard workers as leader than any of these ones

a chubby bald blue dude
well no clue if is bald
or the cat is the hair
nice pink beard
is a woman or is a man ? or what it is
because have beard
yeah these hips aren't common in man

oh took the cat from the head
LOL
this game must workd even on the gameboy color
have no shadows and the landscape poly is 1 vertex each 5 meters
in other hand they added a costly postprocess
indeed lol
this guy has a very cute stream screen lol
lol
horrible menu
I loved that screen though, the TV, the rainy window, the couch lol it was great
haha he must be, thats a scary amount of people
i dont watch much twitch so not sure how much the average big streamer gets
the dollars keep bouncing in walls due the traces
im very curious how these visuals were made
how do you get the neck moving like that
unless mocap is that good
when she was outside it looked 100% filmed but it changed once she got inside
even the clothes? his vest is definitely simulated
na all these is video man
wow thats crazy, there is just something that looked 3D about it, the characters look like they have slight motion blur
check there the video overlap lmao
they do a chroma and alike layout scenario
but the scene in 3d
so the actors are pasted over it
kinda like films
but as the Sci fi channel low cost ones
hahaha
now will be a poitn and click you will see
nice, yeah I can definitely tell the scene is 3d, its just something wasn't right about the clothes on the dude at the desk at first, the clothes looked simulated, but still thats very interesting
yeah your right now its point and click adventure lol, 100's of sequences
that camera is very annoying lol

uhh, is using ripped assets even allowable under the engine EULA? I've had someone from this channel try and recruit me for a game which seems to be using reverse engineered assets. is there a way to contact a mod to report this?
ah ok, thanks
i wonder if it's just for prototyping. I mean, nothing wrong with it if they are replaced I guess.
it's also strange that some people think they can get away with it too.
@steel jackal
Ripping assets to make a prototype seems like too much work when you can just use placeholder assets...
sorry for the ping, was told to ping a mod
ahh is this a tribute/pet project?
i'm not sure
looks like a clout chaser to me
they seem to think that they're free to do as they please with rips
depends on two things. 1. if they sell/make money. 2. if the company cares enough to litigate with a C&D
Dm me the info
this guy just looks like a hobbyist dev making halo related stuff in various engines. Giving away the project for free.
he also ran it up in frostbite somehow. Maybe the mod scene has some stuff for replacing assets
Just don't try to recruit me and it isn't any of my business.
sounds adult age
My main concern is eating the rich, not protecting copyrights.
mentally competent enough to construct his Halo fan project in multiple engines. Not so shabby if you ask me. Especially as one isn't public per se
Karol claims to be an adult, but still acts like a meme...
You can't reverse engineer our games to access the assets or otherwise do things that the games don't normally permit in order to create your Items. https://www.xbox.com/en-us/developers/rules Even for a little fan project I don't think ripping is allowed.
probably not. I don't disagree. But the onus is kind of on Microsoft if this guy isn't profiting right?
I'd have learned nothing without stealing Adobe software for years when I was too poor to pay £500+ a pop 🙂
I paid eventually tho
I would eat Microsoft...
I wouldn't right now. The switch to open source mentality intrigues me. It's like the demon ate it's own tail for long enough to realise it was gonna consume it's entire self. So they reached out and open source people said "finally...." and its been great since
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.
Scarcity is a lie.
indeed
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. 🤔
lol
i need help w my epic games
what's wrong with it?
i cant download anything
download throttling turned off?
I'm kinda at a loss to what would stop you from downloading stuff
low drive space?
idk either i alr checked all the settings
make sure wherever your vault cache is has enough space at least
i fixed it thx u
Question: you-em-gee or uhm-gh
Good evening everyone
whats so good about it? 😄
Yew-Ehm-Jee
lol
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.
I've never worked with UMG lol
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 😄
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++
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.
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
@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.
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
I read there were some issues with landscapes right now. Probably reacts oddly to awkward peaks or something. So test on a mesh first 🙂
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
Im trying to do a simulation of a hydrofoil
Lol
I find it anoying that I just wanna do 1 lil tweak to a material and it takes like 5 mins to load
@pearl elk I have a 12" Green vinyl of that song from back in the day. In my drawer of "things that I thought might be worth something but ain't, thanks Ebay".
theres no rapper quite like B-Real. His voice is instantly recognisable as unique
Every time I follow instructions to set up chaos vehicle it never works
It drives me nuts
What happens when we get snow in Texas.
I dont trust chaos tutorials I only trust lawful neutral tutorials
I feel really accomplished when I look at my achievements wall on GoG Galaxy
when I look at each store individually its like you suck, gitgud
showoff 😛
Hahaha
Well you know in Texas people make engines
In Madrid are mainly game artist
They did a lot of genitals of the same size too
I don't doubt it 😄

Anybody know that feeling when you're vibing to a song while editing, and then your animation starts vibing with you?

Couldn't help but notice my zombie hit animation was on point with the song I was listening to.
I hope somebody get's the same amount of joy out of this as I got from it

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

https://twitter.com/DungeonMarvels/status/1348354255648940037 also madrid @ancient hornet
never played that game tbh
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
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.
It's Day of the tentacle
original maniac mansion was "cruder" visually
that look is indeed a lot closer to the refined art in Day of the Tentacle
Hardly there were better options back then 🙂
It was very scary game 👀
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 😛
Don't think so. I mean they are on the Light side.
Maybe you could replace the existing one
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
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
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
My suspension just makes the car fly all over the place, trying to make my own is a mess
I even tried a few tutorials that was a grand total of 4 hours and none worked and all are 3+ years old lol
Geforce software update lol
They should satisfy the demand for the old GPUs first
I've heard that people still can't buy 3080s
At this point it's technically paper launches
there are 3090s available here... but they are $3k 😐
new amd ones are not even listed here
