There were some news recently for UE & Houdini, go check.
Afaik, exports are free for UE.
frail hull
I guess, you cannot export them as .fbx. You can export .obj files then you might need to convert them back to .fbx using some other tool. (Blender, etc)
And you cannot use Houdini Engine inside Unreal with this version.
frail hull
didn't they make the "import plugins" free for all recently?
Actually, this is for their higher plans. It was always free for Houdini Indie.
BTW: Just buy the license. It's worthy.

right, but mostly I remembered the news that it was free for all (aka easier to remember) ๐

SideFX is pleased to announce that Houdini Engine for UE4 and Houdini Engine for Unity are now available for commercial customers for free. Previously free for artists using Houdini Indie, this now gives commercial artists and studios the ability to widely deploy procedural assets created in Houdini to the UE4 and Unity real-time 3D platforms for use in game and XR development, virtual production and design visualizations.

can you make trees with it like with Speedtree?
frail hull
If you work a bit hard. It has a L-System based tool. So, you can generate trees pretty quickly.
Textuing is a bit of work. But totally doable.
There are tutorials on this topic. Just Youtube it.
We can import some leaf atlases and assign them to tree.

There's a free Autodesk tool that converts multiple formats into .fbx
It's quite handy

The Houdini Engine plug-ins have been used on numerous shipped games - just a few examples include Kingโs Candy Crush, eXiinโs Ary and the Secret of Seasons, and Fishing Cactusโs Nanotale - Typing Chronicles.

On Android; we can reach nearly 60fps (on both Samsung S7 and MI 8 SE) but on iOS we got 20 fps on iPhone 7. Also the phone gets really really hot and battery gets almost drained after 15-20 minutes.

My problem with Blender still with the bones
its kinda sad by 2021 still unsolved kinda feel like live in 2011 perpetually
cursive crypt
Not sure wdym. You can't really have full match between UE and Blender as they use different axes orientation. At best what I got is just two swapped axes X and Y. Heads, tips and etc. match with good FBX settings. Also someone up just showed the gltf export from UE it looked nice. @median wraith
median wraith
and still the scale problems
cursive crypt
You have 100 to 1 and you keep your anims at 1.
fathom wadi
bones in Blender are Head + Tail configuration. Bones in UE4 are head only.
median wraith
to me didn't worked really
no for others as well, you still have to rescale all 100 times inside blender
with the issues it cause
fathom wadi
if you try do a traditional bone setup, ie. Bone to Bone to Bone, all leading back root, it will need fixing up otherwise when it gets to UE it will look wrong. If you use linking, it has a better chance.
cursive crypt
Hmm... I dunno. I'm working mainly with skelmeshes. It is just Import/Export FBX setting.
However, I do remember spending like a day trying to figure out them FBX settings (bad memories).
Also UE is a bit tricky wrt computing the relative bone transforms, compared to Blender say.
median wraith
did epic finished the gltf ?
last time I checked still didn't support animations and skeletons
cursive crypt
Check the new Exporter MP plugin. I dunno about the Importer.

automatic bone orientation can help sometimes with exporting. It doesn't always work though. Depends on the rig.

There is some good doc for the gltf exporter, limitations and stuff. Didn't read it.
carmine frigate
i use blender for gray boxing
cursive crypt
Okay, gray lovers then, lol.
carmine frigate
i couldnt get the metahuman face to export on gltf yet, thought it was the material but it isnt
cursive crypt
Checkout that doc, might give you a hint. There were some issues with the materials.
fathom wadi
you aren't supposed to export them tho right?
cursive crypt
I think it is fine? As long they end up in UE for presentation.
carmine frigate
i export whatever i want
cursive crypt
lol
fathom wadi
they might have the same issue as paragon materials that are in a bit format that can't be exported. So you can do tricks like merge meshes and bake materials to one.
that will give you a material you can export
cursive crypt
I think the limitations are due to the gltf from what I have glanced over.
@knotty remnant #ue4-general #level-design or so.
carmine frigate
i can still use the fbx exporter for the metahuman
fathom wadi
@knotty remnant there are two methods. 1. The usual way is to add them under the same folder as the Persistent Level. 2. Use Dynamic Level Instances to load them but you may need my Latent Stream Level Node. (shameless plug)
cursive crypt
Wait they boot up the NFL tokens. No more exports.

sorry
cursive crypt
Don't worry, here it is the cafeteria.
carmine frigate
export from unreal u allways have triangulated and ripped seams tho
cursive crypt
Ripped seams? ๐ค
carmine frigate
yea it doubles the verts on the seams
cursive crypt
Well, if you harden the edges that normal?
carmine frigate
it cuts them out and u have to fix em

Oh, wait seams... seams does not mean 100% hard/sharp edges.

Then there might be something in its app ๐คทโโ๏ธ
fathom wadi
it would be cool if it did.
carmine frigate
i am not sure if it happens on export from DDc or import in unreal, i think on import
cursive crypt
Well, I do remember that I usually clean up some creases anyway when importing from UE. Likely due to the auto-smoothing and stuff.
For UV islands tho, haven't noticed.
fathom wadi
I didn't realise they recognised the creasing. I should do that more often
carmine frigate
just export a mesh with UV islands import in unreal , export from unreal import to blender and when u select all on a vert it only selects the island
fairly easy to fix tho
cursive crypt
Merge at distance.
carmine frigate
the quads from trist is another thing, it does its own thing
fathom wadi
I tried merge at distance but I couldn't reach my mouse
cursive crypt
Well, tbf cleaning up imported meshes is always something I do. Just to be sure.
lol
carmine frigate

yeah if I was gonna sell on the marketplace I wouldn't give them the blend either. I'd sell that separate on my Gumroad :p

why dont any of em have the high poly that got used for the normal bake?
that stuff is usefull

It's really about time we had an Open Mesh format for non-destructive editing across the DCC->UE4 import export shuffle. There's no real reason not to have it by now. We have things like Houdini plugin that basically do it for one app, but there is code out there for an open system

they even have a blender build for it

How viable does a tri-barrel 6.5x45mm minigun sound as a stationary turret
Itโll fire 1800 rounds/min and hold 500 rounds in the drum, allowing roughly 16.6 seconds of continuous fire
light spruce
why is it x45?
cursive crypt
Oh, yeah!
light spruce
@thin glacier Also, you'd want a belt rather than a drum. A drum of that capacity would be very heavy, have dogshit reliability, and need a ratcheting clock spring setup that gets wound pretty regularly.
thin glacier
Itโs a linkless feed system. The drum is the same kind used by larger gatling cannons such as the M61 and GAU-8
Also, the round uses a 6.5mm armor piercing bullet in a necked up 5.56 case, which is 45mm long
The GAU-8 with the feed system
The M61 Vulcan
light spruce
Yeah, that I'm familiar with. I don't think it'd make as much sense on an intermediate cartridge type setup because it wouldn't have the same kind of feed problems that led to that electric driven monstrosity. But I also wasn't thinking of that a drum given the cartridge size.
If you wanted to use an actual 6mm cartridge, either a 6.5 Grendel or 6.8 SPC is what I would do. But I also don't have any context here really.
thin glacier
My main goal was a high velocity armor piercing round with more mass than 5.56, but was compact enough to fit a lot of ammo in a relatively small space
I actually have a 6-barrel version of the gun almost finished, but I figured Iโd try a 3-barrel design to make it smaller
light spruce
Six would be overkill
thin glacier
Yup, especially since the fire rate would be limited while mounted on a turret rather than a vehicle or mech
So Iโll just go with a more compact tri-barrel model based on the XM301
The 301 is 20mm, but thereโs no reason it canโt be scaled down
light spruce
at that rate of fire being electrically driven... three is definitely fine. Gas-operated, a gas block or tube is what would go long before a barrel did
thin glacier
I figured Iโd go with a rotary MG for a few reasons:
- the barrels have more time to cool down than a single barrel MG with the same fire rate
- the gun can still operate in spite of a dud round, and you donโt want any jams while defending a position
- Rule of Cool
light spruce
Rule of Cool I'd still be giving the nod to a 3 over a 6
thin glacier
By the way, any thoughts about this 25mm for a drone?
Itโs had some work after these were taken, but everything already in the pics is pretty much the same
The drone will fulfill a similar role to the A-10. Itโll have 10 hardpoints (2 internal, 4 under each wing) and the cannon will be under the fuselage while firing at the 6 oโ clock position
The drum holds 1200 rounds and the cannon fires 3500 rounds/min
light spruce
Only if A) It still sounds like the tripods from War of the Worlds and B) the drone actually has difficulty maintaining the thrust vector while firing.
What the fuck do any of these YouTube Music playlist names ever mean?
thin glacier
Itโll be a UAV that looks like a cross between the Hog and the EADS Barracuda
Pretty much something thatโd belong in Ace Combat

Custom stencil allows for rendering an object through walls.

I wonder if there's some reason why nobody seems to suggest using that for the first person pov items or such
it's always something like panini projection which is nontrivial to implement
as opposed to just rendering the object after everything else which would be easy if the engine just supported it
actually now that I think of it, doesn't the depth stencil effect usually just render stuff like solid colors or otherwise... and not the actual object's regular material
because the post process material it uses just reads the depth buffer and you can't just draw the entire object into it in color because that's not how it works

would be curious if it has decent runtime perf, as lot of these things are supposed to be executed as the main process on beefy machiens
tribal geyser
as opposed to being a part of a game

aww that Agx Dynamics is in beta and all their pricing says "request quote". That smells like out of my price range lol

Gotta admit, when I saw "Niagara rope" I hadn't seen the part about cables yet
Speaking of things like collision... whatever happened to that ... what was it.. Natural Motion? It had a lot of football type examples... but also had platforming stuff that was supposed to have characters not fall in ridiculous ways

Remember to socket them in the correct order which I didn't tell you.
pearl elk
Im so glad more modern games let you modify socketed items

light spruce
Yeah. I'm not sure the socket setup is really all that great
What the hell did I just play that had some kind of thing where socketing required destroying the existing thing
oh, it was fucking Cyberpunk
pearl elk
yeah you break it back down to craft parts you'll never use
I think I used maybe 5 of their 50 weapons for 2 play throughs
bit of a shame cuz the gunplay is quite good, theres just not many reasons to use the others. I think they coulda gone more of a Borderlands route where the different manufacturers have specialities rather that them all sharing the same random stat pool
light spruce
Yeah. There are definitely some things that are objectively better.
And a few things that really only become useful with particularly specific setups
pearl elk
yeah thats true, if youre running a certain set of stats, cyberware, mods etc some weapons will get way more benefits than others
light spruce
I didn't use SMGs at all. I didn't really use assault rifles aside from some specific hilarity using a smart one
pearl elk
Its alittle bit frustrating because the game has this cool inbuilt XP system based on how you play, it would have been cooler to more organically let people find their style rather than fix it with stat points
most gamers might not understand that though being conditioned to stat point like RPGs

I laughed all the time at punching people over things
I almost want to try and play it using all of the worthless shit like rapid takedowns and human shields

Played this games and the GI is really cool at lost cost
it have leaks but the cost is so absurd that I get more than 60FPS at 1440p in the 970GTX
looks almost as the Crytek new solution for V but its way less expensive
in other hand have more leaks at house corners etc

its under the settings cog, accessibility, autoplay when discord is focused

Heh way way back in the day with CB radios etc, you could get a doohickie that would send a high pitched single that could damage other peoples rigs.

lol I added a script to a test level to stream in another copy of the same level... without thinking about it... it creates an infinite loop of the level just streaming itself in again... and again... and again...

I had a fun bug I shoulda make a clip of yesterday
I killed a player and they spawned instantly back in the same spot but it created a ragdoll each time so I ended up with a big ball of ragdolls
