mine is only 57 gb lol
humble remnant
Though for some benefit of the doubt, one of the projects has its own editor so that's half an engine added there
105 GB more for the 4.26 build from source and that's half my 1 TB SSD just in UE stuff
broken sigil
source and projects ๐
humble remnant
The SSD is just my main installations 
I backup my projects regularly in 2 different hard drives too, just in case
As a wise man once said, if a piece of data doesn't exist on 3 different places, it does not exist
broken sigil
307 GB is our custom engine build
142 GB our project and 81 GB couple of my test projects
humble remnant
Just my project with a custom build is 190 GB, which is lower than I thought
Maybe I need to run the backups again, the "real deal" is 220
155 GB of changes
What the hell have I done
One thing I'll say
Thank me for dual ethernet, would've been horrible if I couldn't do internet while backing up to the server
hasty cargo
newer versions of source built ue4 seems to be huge
my 4.15 custom is ~58gb with cache
if I try 4.2X and above its like 70gb even without cache

@hasty cargo lucky you dont do debug builds then because you can double that. Lucky that SSD space is coming down in price

to be honest guys, ue4 always confused me
soft night
Luos have done lots of niagara work for sure
deep glen
nah, just getting started
median wraith
there is a talk at twitter about why youtubers leave the country cuz you have to pay the 45% of your income past your first 60k per year
lets be honest I would leave too lol
these are generating like 500k per year
pearl elk
generating lol, I suppose you could put it that way
ancient hornet
nobody likes paying taxes yet that's what makes the country run
cursive crypt
True, but I think most don't want to pay, because big portion of these money are stolen or just paid for little to nothing done to deserve them.
ancient hornet
another component for those high taxes is that they can work as a "wealth redistribution" mechanism too
anyway, the high tax rates for the high earners aren't meant to be compensated
they are explicitly meant as a "yes we know you pay far more than you get back, that's because you pay for those that cannot pay at all"
essentially, a form of "negative tax rate" for the poorest in society
median wraith
actually is proven this country don't work at all
so someone paying 45% for literally nothing after all welp
ancient hornet
well it's not really 45% overall
it's 45% on revenue above some limit
so the effective taxing rate might asymptotically reach 45%, it can never reach it ๐
median wraith
yeah if you get 500k and the limit is 60k is kinda a 45% at all
even if is 300k is more
pearl elk
how many people do you know that would be upset earning 300k/y?
people just look at tax wrong, they see the total money as theirs rather than the after tax amount
ancient hornet
45% on 500k above 60k and 0% under would be an effective tax rate of 40%
300k post taxes is still a lot
median wraith
here we got a lot of youtubers
our main youtubers are on the world ranking on the 50 first
there are like 15 on the top 50
the first one get 1 million
the others get 300 to 600
pearl elk
maybe they shouldnt earn so much if they dont want to be taxed so much ๐
median wraith
@ancient hornet actually is https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ENDiPWQXkAEVhIb?format=jpg&name=medium
45% after 60k
pearl elk
but really its up to them to be good at business, you can reinvest so your total business earnings are low so you lower your tax burden
ancient hornet
well I had to invent data for sure yeah ๐
median wraith
the thing is isn't about pay or no the taxes
pearl elk
if they are running a good streaming channel as a sole trader thats their fault
median wraith
the whole taxes system should take in account what you get as income in your whole life etc
pearl elk
they shouldnt be doing it as personal income
median wraith
if you get in 5 years the money for the rest of your life
and they get a 50% from it
well that happen
pearl elk
some people dont even earn 300K in a decade
median wraith
the whole tax system should be based on your profesional income all over your life, the same way they calculate your retirement payment
ancient hornet
I don't really see the point ?
median wraith
here you need about 3x years worked
the government pays you a fixed month income each year after your retirement and is based on your life income
ancient hornet
I mean, I understand the idea but I'm a simple man and I like my simple maths in the tax systems ๐
making it take into account very complex stuff like "based on your profesional income all over your life" screams at needless complexity that will only cause weird edge cases
that for all purposes will make some people miserable and allow rich people to evade more taxes
pearl elk
so what youre saying is young youtubers should get taxed less than someone who worked hard for minimum wage their entire life?
median wraith
actually is what they use to pay your retirement
is a system working already I mean
ancient hornet
I'm not sure a country can wait for your retirement to start taxing you though
I just wonder what kind of math you want put on that idea
median wraith
the common individual gets about 2-3 generated millions in their whole life working
I mean the taxes should apply on bigger % after you reach x millions in total @pearl elk
one of these youtubers will get a proper tax at the 3 years of work
pearl elk
thats how it works
median wraith
no
pearl elk
its just the tax comes out yearly so its not counted in millions unless youre rich
ancient hornet
that system would screw people that are down on their luck
those youtubers will NOT like it when their fad passes and they barely make 60k per year, now taxed at 45%
median wraith
yeah but lets say you release a game this year and I get 1 million, you have to pay 45% of that
the next years you release games but don't even reach 15k per year
you had a cut spike based on that year that don't success support future years
pearl elk
business tax is a whole different thing to personal income tax, Im not sure which youre even talking about
median wraith
if you take in account all years you get a proper computation
pearl elk
business dont have a lifetime
thats why you make one so your company can outlast you
otherwise as an individual it all dies with you
pearl elk
sole trader isnt a company though
median wraith
actually our business system is a joke
pearl elk
thats what Im saying, if youre getting taxed high personal income should consider moving to company for lesser tax and more breaks
median wraith
if you get 500โฌ per month as income you have to pay 400โฌ
if you get 55 millions per month you pay 400โฌ
if you get 10โฌ you pay 400โฌ
pearl elk
if people earning 55mil arnt getting high tax your comment about them leaving from high taxes makes no sense
median wraith
to me UK etc system makes more sense to me based on %
soft night
tax cards helps sure
ancient hornet
well it's also 45% above ยฃ37500
the increase by 5% seems a little out of nowhere
pearl elk
government can waste money sometimes but I find it easier for them to handle things that to have things like toll roads, paying for parking, health care etc etc
saves me the hassle which is worth it to me because my time is my money
median wraith
lmao the 45% is after 150 libras
ancient hornet
governments are a needed evil
because there are stuff that needs paying for
but nobody would want to do the paying
so instead we build a boogeyman to pay for (and complain about)
median wraith
health care is paid by every individual no by these taxes
here they claim we got a free health care system
only if you got a job can access to it
a individual working for a company is the company who pays the monthly costs
pearl elk
thats the thing though all that time it takes to pay things on a case by case basis costs me and business time
our healthcare system has what we call bulk billing, all the accounting gets funnelled into a big processing machine and all done at once
it saves us millions
median wraith
about what you said before is something I still got no clue
if you're self employed
you pay a fixed amount because you wrote that your income is X
soft night
HevSuit is more like IronMan suit its much much more it pay Hevedy taxes too

but I don't know as society where goes the rest of the money
pearl elk
look outside your window, are the trees and lawns all manicured?
are the streets clean, are the bins emptied
are there rodent infestations everywhere
pearl elk
yeah but its not all paid by you, those costs would be much higher if they wernt subsidised
median wraith
I would like to see where the money actually goes
mossy nexus
Goes into a big pot
pearl elk
I mean its possible Spain runs mostly on private companies but I bet the government does a whole lot more than youre giving them credit for
median wraith
they posted the other day a document where claim they paid 3000โฌ per each curtain in the new hospital

so yeah the final million count is there
but I don't think these cost that
pearl elk
and if that was your hospital room, would you complain about not having a curtain?
probably yeah
median wraith
a curtain don't cost more than 100โฌ man

pearl elk
they arnt blinds for the windows, they use huge curtains for diving patients

pearl elk
we had a baby bonus for awhile, people got $3000 per kid

as result all the kids with problems
pearl elk
Id adopt a meth baby
median wraith
oh lord
pearl elk
theres been some bad murder suicides here lately involving parents who cant handle it
median wraith

pearl elk
its because in the west birth rates are down so they think its a good idea to incentivise having kids without providing the proper infrastructure required for a whole life of this child

that video reminds me the tool in the marketplace
of ue4
no fan of these tools tbh
pearl elk
for designing what?
median wraith
the level itself
Twitter
thats the secondary problem of it
there is no design tools on modern engines, is all about composition and editing tools
pearl elk
what do you think design is if it isnt composition and editing?
median wraith
composition goes after design
design have editing, but the editing must be fast enough and flow enough to make these with the option to be edited at the editor
as Radiant did or alike
mossy nexus
What do you want a design tool to do?
pearl elk
Im not sure I agree there, I think composition is applying the elements and principles of art
which is also design ๐
same same, but different
median wraith
Imagine you have to make a house
you can put the doors the windows, light, and all the house items
the modern engines does that awesome perfect
but I want to design the house walls etc and dynamically change in engine so I can get proper spaces etc
there is a total fail on modern engines
and yeah you got lets say the BSP or GSC tools
but UE4 ones are that slow you end faster doing the house at Blender
there was some illustrative video
put a cube until there is alike now but, if you can extrude faces of it without select the arrow of the faces is way faster if you can duplicate it with a single key than a combo of 2 or 3 is way faster
you can notice that when you use it
is just about the base design of spaces
pearl elk
you know, I used to do arch viz... we never started off with anything in 3D it was all 2D architectural plans and schematics

pearl elk
I used to turn 2D autocad drawings into 3D in autocad then take them into Max for rendering
mossy nexus
Dungeon Architect does some fancy things with the tool bar
pearl elk
its still one of the fastest programs I know because of the keyboard input, the mouse is far slower for precise movements. If I want to move something 200 on the X in autocad its super fast
if you want to make better design tools, learn from the best
median wraith
I just know about the tools i used back in the time
but maybe in the future check these plugins, let epic finish first the new editing tool
pearl elk
why did you link a thread from 2014?
pearl elk
can you do keyboard input in blender, is that what you say?
median wraith
no
oh he means blender
but isn't related
Blender did better things to try to equal the system as the auto UV
pearl elk
yeah autocad is like that but slightly better, if youre moving things already its just enter enter 200 enter
median wraith
but still don't get a proper workflow
whatever, you have to try these tools in order to know what we mean
its like try to tell you how the chickens born but you don't know what a egg is
pearl elk
the thing most people dont understand is that while there is some art with making levels when you talk about design that skillset is very precise and requires being able to duplicate the results
so its basically like data entry
I feel very similarly about BP, its this odd reliance on the mouse which slows down productivity
UE4 suffers in very similar ways as 3dsmax, it doesnt really learn from it and try to do it better
give me Illustrator smart guides/snaps any day of the week ๐
autocads aint bad but Adobe man, they kill it

Rain is part of your mechanics, right?
median wraith
yeah
humble remnant
One way I did rain is having a "cylinder" on top of the player (not tall, and rather wide) and generate rain particles on its faces
That makes a decent looking rain wall
median wraith
yeah but here affect the world meshes
humble remnant
That was done in Niagara, so in your case you can slap a similar thing with a lower particle count, and add events to it when it hits something
humble remnant
If you want to check whether specific objects will get wet, the bounds I told you about will be accurate enough in most cases, albeit not completely accurate when it comes to which parts are wet
But that's kind of a cursed problem you want
I don't see a way to properly optimize what you need
median wraith
does the box trace do it ?
humble remnant
Box trace returns the entire box
I haven't seen something about traces returning a partial hit
median wraith

Switch to Chaos and use async traces [;

you can use Async traces to do not block main thread
and Chaos traces should be faster with type marshalling from unreal to physx

okay @pearl compass did this at the end made some new nodes for the editor

That's a nice grid
median wraith

@zinc matrix a miracle
err you could make that with shaders
aligned to a normal
the other side gets without it

don't do this for a normal game, other that if you're crazy

There are only two leading edge semiconductor fabs in the entire world, no wonder there are shortages

@median wraith not a horrible first pass idea
median wraith
the only way to don't let any mesh pass
the grid projection at first were a good idea but will ignore actors by fail

in other hand mine is working now
but only for the collisions

That's really cool
humble remnant
So I assume you took my idea for the bounds?
median wraith
@humble remnant yeah had to do a lot of work to get that working but kinda worked :p
The static 2d grid had a limitation and can ignore actors
humble remnant
Well, I don't know how else you would've made it as precise but running faster

I have like 5000 actors

This check only need to run once
So I get all actors exposed

simple solution is merely distance based check against a "list of buddies around me"

I'm mainly wondering if you need that shelf for empty gpu box ๐ค
while the setup looks highly impractical, it does look fancy ๐

Why impractical? It has a cat.
My only issue would be with the missing space to stretch my legs and that audio location. Also I prefer my PC buried somewhere not to be seen.
stiff crystal
it has pretty much every aspect I would never put on my work desk, lots of reflective surfaces (whole desk with glass), computer with a window and bright lights on desk shining to your eyes, I'd rather have 3rd monitor there
background lighting itself could be ok on that but it's hard to tell from the image, I prefer even lighting behind the monitors so there's no big contrast
but I also have quite sensitive eyes
cursive crypt
I dunno, the OP seems to like it, after some time it will be covered in popcorn and cat's hair anyway.
stiff crystal
oh it does look fancy
I just have really boring looking desk in comparison ๐
just electric table with keyboard and mouse and three monitors on it

yeah I feel water cooling gpu is important if you care about it's lifespan. But they do design them for running on air and hot these days too. Mine can allowably head upto 100c before damage but clocks down at 90c
stiff crystal
well, if the chips are designed to work on those temps, I don't see issues
solid aurora
well

I've never had cpu or gpu die due to temps

true I crapped myself installing water cooling on my CPU. But it was a Corsair h80i so it's a solid build and no issues

I won't keep the cpu or gpu more than 3-4 years so even if the lifespan is reduced it doesn't matter
I am using an AIO for the CPU tho, couldn't cool the i9 9900k properly with anything else

as additional note, my pc cases don't even have side windows on them
for some reason, water cooling people want to showcase their systems ๐
for me it's just workhorse

stiff crystal
I'm not really all against water cooling, but so far there hasn't really been a good reason to go for one for me
cursive crypt
I am bit wary of these water pumps... some weird noises and etc. Also not sure how long that system can hold. With windcoolers is much more simpler and reliable kinda. It either rotates or not, if it stops you restart. If that water thing leaks tho...
fathom wadi
closed loop cooling is about all I will do. No point risking the setup leaking
stiff crystal
air fans never just fully stop either, they start to make noise due to bearings going out before they completely fail + there's always some spare fan around to throw in if it would really fail
either way, the whole system wouldn't just fail to boot even if the fan was out, not with the air cooling tower in place
broken sigil

in my other PC the air cooler (together with the fans) is around 8 years old and it's still going fine, just now the fan bearings started to make weird noises lol

Sounds about right, I mean you can throw maybe some oil in and done.
stiff crystal
I wouldn't ๐
cursive crypt
At least that was what we did back in the years.

at the point it's starting to make noises, it means bearings are loose, it's not a lubrication issue really anymore
