Parallax occlusion mapping be like

[pearl elk]

yeah I might be able to do acrylic but only because Ive had experience bending it when I worked in a plastics factory

PETG doesnt seem as difficult so I dunno

its amazing the plates you can get for these cases, they make em for almost every mount point now even the bottom

My AIO sucks

Doesnt suck hard enough, flow rate is terrible

Plus if I do a custom loop properly I can get 3x360s in this XL case 😱

Theres actually so many it maxs out the mobo if I try to have them all lit up at once. Its fine if its cycling

[cursive crypt]

It's blue.

[left granite]

lol

[pearl elk]

It can be any colour, Im thinkin I might do red n orange for liquid colours since its ryzen/radeon. Got bored of those which is why its blue atm

[gloomy pulsar]

You got a link for that? Can't find anything

[fathom wadi]

I've suffered from anxiety since I was 5 years old. But around 2 years ago I started getting increased anxiety from coding. The pressure to support my family combined with my illness that causes me to itch profusely and persistently alongside the difficulty in creating work as a solo dev spiralled out of control. I've pleaded with my doctor to help and they have sat with their thumb up their ass for years with me. I've changed doctors even and they do the bare minimum to help. It took them 3 years to get me an appointment with a dermatologist and when I went he gave me the same citrizine antihistamines and told me to come back in 6 months. It's come to a head where I haven't done a lick of work in the past 6 months. My anxiety is through the roof and I've been suicidal for some time (although I wont take my life because I have children and I'm not a bastard not willing to make them bastards). So yeah.... enjoy that story and I hope it makes you feel better 😄

[cursive crypt]

I doubt anyone can feel better after reading this, lol

Also, maybe a therapist might help. An one with which you can click.

[celest musk]

did the antihistamines help tho?

usually they make you dizzy, not exactly helpful for someone who needs a wake mind to do code

also i'm curious how a dermatologist is supposed to fix that

[fathom wadi]

not in the slightest. They just made me groggy. It takes me a couple of hours to take up even when I stuff coffee down my neck.

the dermatologist is to find out why I am itching. It's supposedly related to my thyroid issue and I'm taking 200mg of levothyroxine currently but it's not stopping the itching.

[celest musk]

well, caffeine can boost anxiety

[fathom wadi]

I actually reduced my coffee intake recently to 1 cup a day, just when I wake up. I used to drink a lot though

its not strong coffee either

[celest musk]

ah the dermatologist was because of the itching

did somehow miss that part

[fathom wadi]

im trying to get help from a private doctor atm. But 3 weeks ago I asked my doctor to send a summary of care for my private doctor and they still haven't sent it. Im going in tomorrow to ask why. They truly are useless and since COVID have been worse

[unborn lotus]

I had some anxiety last year, including some major tension headaches. I started doing more cardio by bicycling and it's a lot better

[ivory lodge]

[zinc matrix]

the best approach to your situation would be left coffee forever,

if you really want caffeine, you can opt for green tea! it has more compounds that helps with anxiety and other problems

people tend to take light on coffee regarding it as a drug but it is potent...

caffeine is no joke

[fathom wadi]

the thing is I drink one cup a day, of truly weak coffee. Its just a warm drink to wake up to. The anxiety comes from other sources. It's complicated and not really things I should talk about in here.

[soft night]

i dont need to reduce it as it have almost zero effect on me

[zinc matrix]

yeah but life is made out of little and big things, I feel no harm into trying or giving a try to substitute weak coffee for green tea...

[fathom wadi]

well green tea tastes like piss so I'd rather not

[zinc matrix]

😄

did you know shamans in Siberia when they took Amanita muscaria for entheogenic experiences, pissed in a cup and the rest of the tribe drink it?

[soft night]

coffee help me to sleep better when body is ready to sleep but mind is not

[zinc matrix]

you can try cold extraction (let it idle on a refrigerator for 10-12 hours)... it boost the taste a lot

even coffee feels less acid

with this method

[soft night]

green tea is cool and all i drink both

[fathom wadi]

I should just vape a hit of weed. That always works. Not had any for a year though which is probably why my anxiety is exacerbated beyond normal levels 😄

[soft night]

marc it helps when tea is not option

[zinc matrix]

i had my first crisis of anxiety (that took me a complete year of medicine to treat it) when I started smoking

but it was a lot

me and 3 friends smoking like 8 to 10 joints of a king size paper everyday for 2 weeks straight

[fathom wadi]

I've never been an abuser of it. Always been a lightweight so a little goes a long way. I've seen what it can do to some people. Had a couple of friends have mental issues from it

[zinc matrix]

at some point we stole a vehicle from one of our parents and went to the gasoline station to buy stuff to cook meat

the bbq

[zinc matrix]

it varies a lot... some people get really well after strong experiences with drugs

[fathom wadi]

honestly it helps me a lot. It prevents my night terrors to a degree, I don't lucid dream so if I have them I dont remember. It also focuses me on a task, so I code like a beast with it. The anxiety stops too. Which is the main reason I ever used it.

[ivory lodge]

I think I need one of those online therapists.

[fathom wadi]

Having a year away from it has been awful though. I've barely worked, night terrors came back like a monster. Motivation is just zero. My other ailment, the itching, has been always on my mind. Things are just generally worse without it.

what is a normal job? I've never had one. Always been either IT guy, Web developer or game programmer. I had ex-gfs say "get a real job" whilst spending my money. It always confused me 😄

[ivory lodge]

@fathom wadiI've acutally been doing really well until now. I'm not sure what's changed.

@fathom wadiI got a boyfriend and he buys me stuff half the time. Maybe try that?

[fathom wadi]

ah yeah I get lots of offers to work for game companies. But I feel I can't take them whilst I have issues to resolve.

[ivory lodge]

@fathom wadiI can't because of my issues. I have months where I can't do anything. I can hide that at my current job.

[fathom wadi]

I've been married for almost 10 years. If I got a boyfriend now it would be really confusing to my wife and kids 😄

[ivory lodge]

@fathom wadiWell, the wife wasn't surprised and I haven't told my son yet...

[fathom wadi]

😄

yeah something has to change for sure. Im going to get xmas out of the way and try force myself into a pattern of work. I burned out for a while so I was fine with taking some time off. But now I'm panicking from the lack of money. Especially bad at xmas with kids to buy for.

[zinc matrix]

try to sell them

[ivory lodge]

Seriously, I thought I did gamedev to make myself feel better.

[fathom wadi]

game dev is my life. I spent all my life working towards being a game dev. So not doing it is slowly killing me. Like having no purpose

[ivory lodge]

@fathom wadiThat's a good way to look at it. I sort of have to do it. It's an obsession at this point.

[fathom wadi]

game dev is a way of life.

[ivory lodge]

So it the great Tao.

[fathom wadi]

spoken like a true AAA developer :p Honestly its been my life goal and for the past 12 years my actual job. So not doing it is like having no arms and need to masturbate :p

[zinc matrix]

game dev. is part of life, your logic is wrong

[fathom wadi]

I dont think of it as an addiction. Its a purpose. I have goals and dreams that I reach for

[zinc matrix]

yeah, dogs are getting pretty smart nowadays

[fathom wadi]

Im fully aware of addiction. I have a slot gambling addiction. That is based around compulsion and physical effects. My goals for game dev are far from addiction. They are simply a path I follow to reach an end game. Mostly feeding my family.

you are being negative for no reason here

based on yours so yeah

[zinc matrix]

but you started ranting about life, we are trying to help under our perspectives!

yesterday I put my sister guinea pig on a backpack with proper adaptations and went biking for 40 minutes while we heard an LCD Soundsystem album

it had a blast, at least I think

[fathom wadi]

Today I'm playing Nioh 2 and remembering a time when I wanted to work for Team Ninja.

[zinc matrix]

and I will restart, update and boot Blender

[fathom wadi]

I did some blender work earlier this year. That was a nice break from coding.

[zinc matrix]

yeah, a good part of being a solo / small team dev. is that you fiddle with different areas and that can be refreshing!

[fathom wadi]

I genuinely enjoyed learning blender. It was like when I first learned UDK. Such a buzz to see things come together

[zinc matrix]

i feel that 3d is easier than 2d

and i would never re-use assets of someone into my creations

and i am a broke kid that can not pay people to work for me

i mean, if i have to create an hydroponic stand with a isometric perspective, i would do it better modelling rather than drawing

[fathom wadi]

2d is definitely a pain if you don't have the right tools for it. Trying to do it with UE is a nightmare even if you use Paper2d. It was even a bit of an arse in Flash back in the day although it had some nice stuff once they added bones

[zinc matrix]

if my plans do not work out in short years, I will play the rat race in some office

at least I got the joy of game dev. and it will stay as a hobby anyway

[zinc matrix]

oh yeah, Godot is way better for it

or Love2D

hehe

i am out

[ivory lodge]

Some day I hope to get my GAS based ALS4/Interaction System/BFX Third Person Action Template working.

Right now I need some Doors, shooting and melee. I've done it all before but it usually get's too complex to understand and I get stuck.

[ivory lodge]

I don't blame anyone for not using it. It's a pain in the buttocks.

But my systems just go on top of the character class, so I wouldn't need to change much to use another system.

GAS is good.

[quasi mantle]

I modified ALS to my own system. Does that count as heresy?

[ivory lodge]

@quasi mantleEVERYTHING IS HERESY! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!!

[quasi mantle]

As much as I hate ALS for not having proper documentations, I'd say it covers anything third person games need by today's standard.

[ivory lodge]

The code IS the documentation. Like all my projects.

Are we talking WOW kek or 4chan kek?

[quasi mantle]

Yeah, I hate self documenting codes lmao

[ivory lodge]

I can write code that reads my code to you.

[quasi mantle]

Should be at least wrote the code navigation so that people won't get lost, or mention about specific system that's easy to search in a markdown file.

[ivory lodge]

I'll admit it took me over a year to learn it.

Wow. I just implemented doors while I was chatting here.

[quasi mantle]

Also now I have to concern about how to do the same with quadrupeds
Oh god oh shit

[ivory lodge]

@quasi mantleI remember a talk about Shadow of the Collossus. The horse was actually TWO bipeds chained together.

[quasi mantle]

I need to have the same kind of proc. anims to the kittens 😓

[ivory lodge]

Best horse I ever played ina game so far.

[quasi mantle]

Huh, interesting. Though I bet it would be a nightmare to implement the (ragdoll) physics.

[ivory lodge]

Just ignore the kemosabe.

(Lone ranger joke: The Back End of a Horse)

[quasi mantle]

Horse testicle could be as simple as a single morph target so no big deal, but the ragdoll when the horse fell down through the cliff or got blasted by huge magick explosion

[ivory lodge]

The hardest part is the realistic horse poop in Red Dead 2.

You have to take into account what the horse has eaten, how long it's been walking/running, how much water, etc.

Totally worth the massive amount of time they put into it.

[zinc matrix]

lol

[ivory lodge]

You realize some artist studied their entire life to be a game artist and his first job was to make shit for years. "Son, I want to show you my greatest contribution to the world..."

[quasi mantle]

TBH natural looking shit is rather difficult to get right in CG

I tried for pranks, with some procedural stuff. Ended up shelving it because my stomach were already in pain.

[ivory lodge]

Just now?

[quasi mantle]

A while, while ago.

[ivory lodge]

I got a lot done this weekend. Soon I should start bringing over the shooting code.

My goal is to create a solid ThirdPerson Action Adventure base.

Where I can add new interactions and play with the combat until it feels good.

Does anyone have some Mannequin based Blood sucking animations they are willing to share? I really need a front and back animation for both.

Hello @raven iglooryone! If you don’t know me my name is Josh and I’m a game designer from The United States. I’m conducting a survey about a potential game concept for a college course and would really appreciate it if you could spare a few minutes of your time to help me gather valuable information! I’d love to see this project become a reality, but I can’t do it without your help! You can find the survey here: https://forms.gle/dtidDosV5AptVS7j8

Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Josh

[broken sigil]

I allowed it to be posted in #lounge

[pearl elk]

Would Australia be considered Antarctica?

or Asia, hmm

Yeah I couldnt see that option in the survey 😛

Anailartsua

[drifting quest]

it's an austrian joke, because many people in certain countries always mix it up, but i wasn't quite sure if it would be understood here

[pearl elk]

https://tenor.com/view/bh187-jim-carrey-dumb-and-dumber-gday-mate-mate-gif-19222971

tbh I was always more of a hws it gn type of guy

I hate boats

hmm currency questions, what is the currency of Antarctica?

lol theyre asking me how much Id pay for their imaginary game

I'll give you $1000 in monopoly money 😛

yeah I figured why not, I got a few minutes

well this one was certainly one of the better ones, bit hard to endorse a game when their proof of concept is pictures of other peoples games but I guess the idea is to understand if their project is worth perusing

some sort of risk management through market research

Money questions are tricky though with services like Game Pass being so popular, do you make your game free and support it through additional content with the high asking price only for people who want to own it outright. Its abit of a mess atm tbh

I spend $1000+ a year on games and like nothing on cosmetics 😛

some people its the other way around

thats true but I dont tend to fund anything where they dont have a vertical slice

[quasi mantle]

The questions felt a bit too broad and too specific at times, felt mixed with it tbh

With that amount of questions, I'd rather see a vertical slice and let others speak about it.

[radiant crest]

Thanks for raising your concerns about the money questions. This isn't to determine pricing but more so just to assess what the perceived value of this project would be, should it be created. I apologize if they seemed outlandish or otherwise disappointing. I'm new to the business end of things so this project is a bit outside my realm of expertise and I'll try to do better in future

I would encourage you to, I need a lot of responses for my class so I'd appreciate any response you could offer me!

[pearl elk]

All good its mainly that Im from a country which also uses dollars but its not the same as USD so its difficult to know which is being discussed so my data might be skewed

lies you posted on discord 😛

[pearl elk]

bottom corner if for druggies who dunno if they used today or not

[radiant crest]

Lol yeah, had to be a 40 question minimum for the class, wish I could have shortened it for you. I still appreciate you taking it!

[quasi mantle]

It's hard to ask for a price when there's no visible working prototype.

[radiant crest]

I know, the price is more to assess value for a product like this. This is a business class so unfortunately there's no development done for this, just a concept at the moment. Sorry for any confudion

I was just made aware of this by a friend, I'll fix it for future participants, thank you for helping bring this to my attention!

[quasi mantle]

Just what I thought.
Those questionaires felt like a marketing survey more than actually felt like a game pitch.

Not that it's bad or anything, just that I was expecting the questions to focus more on the game itself than the markets.

[radiant crest]

Yeah sorry for the confusion

Thank you! I need 100 responses so every one helps!

[quasi mantle]

Also there's a concept called elevator pitch, where you pitch your game in a span of an elevator ride, so no nonsense and straight to the point.

[radiant crest]

I know, and I hope someday I can make something like this, but for now it's just a concept I had for a business class

[radiant crest]

Yeah we had to practice these for our class. Do you think I should put it at the front instead of the basic description?

[left granite]

I would buy a new HDD instead of doing tht

[zinc matrix]

yeah, I just thought that 1tb would be enough

and most of external drives die so fast

[celest musk]

they're probably selected drives which they didn't want to sell for 24/7 usage

and bad air flow adds to the issue

[zinc matrix]

i have two wd drives

i was playing wow from them

and making music, using plugins through them

both died

they just won't boot up

[foggy path]

24/7 usage tends to actually wear the drive less

the on/off cycle for drives is a major contributor to wear

[zinc matrix]

might get them fixed and recover files

[foggy path]

it happens even with internal HDD's if they have power saving settings enabled, and they tend to have that by default

[celest musk]

my experience pretty much fits that bathtub chart

all of my failed disks, died pretty early after arrival

[foggy path]

never had a disk fail very quick, usually last me a pretty long time :D

[celest musk]

didn't had much failures either

the only one i can remember is that particular 2tb seagate model where i had to RMA 3 times until i got one that survived the first weeks 😄

and thats pretty much my experience from >100 harddisks from home/work, disk failures been really rare

Though yeah... I'm going to worry about the customs now
fuuuuuuuu

[foggy path]

Oh yeah customs...

If they ship from outside EU it's gonna be like 25 euros at least, depending on if they stamp the actual value of the shipment on the box

because 24% VAT + customs fee and I'm pretty sure the value of the whole thing was like 100 usd

You gotta be shitting me.

Also inb4 the Meerkat demo got erased because of this "betrayal"
(though tbf Weta never claimed to actually use UE for production uses, and Meerkat is more of one-off gig)

[soft night]

meerkat demo was best

[thorny dock]

its really interesting with the wolt acquisition, its a huge gamble that basically says "if we spend this money, we must ensure the status of our drivers remains as contractors, in both the US and EU". That must be one hell of a legal department. yes California recently failed in the classification of rideshare and delivery drivers as employees, but the fight for the employed status among these platforms will never end. In ubers pitch for investors, which is publicly readable, they literally give a warning that states: "should the status of rideshare drivers be forced from contractors to employees, this business model will no longer be sustainable"

I just found out you can use Shift + Enter to type onto a new line without having to send your message
👀

[quasi mantle]

It's the same thing with prior versions.

Just because the vcxproj files are in that folder.

ikr lol
Even if I tried to, it always pointed to Intermediate folder.

Hence the best way IMO is to create all the classes you would need in Unreal Editor, and then close it before typing all the codes in VS.

(I know Rider can do that right away, but I refuse to acknowledge its existence)

I think Unreal does that automatically everytime you make a new C++ class, even disabling auto hot reload.

[sharp turtle]

[quasi mantle]

Yes and now. Nothing to blame unreal for

the problem is that VC++ solutions do not recognize folders

what see in solution explorer are >filters<

and they are defined inside xml file

rpolly nowher, chill : D

but i can blame

since

VS support cmake style solutions now

so they cloud generate it -;-

[fallow finch]

Hi guys

I have experience 3 years in Unreal but still need to learn alot.

I want to work with Studios to get some experience

For free

But i want experienced studios

What do you think guys

Because the YT and the online learning doesnt have Advanced stuff

[fallow finch]

Like advanced VR and More about Multiplayer and little bit about game mechanics

Because im working alone i will never be fast more than working with teams

[celest musk]

you want teaching, which you wont get at most studios

[fallow finch]

Why

[celest musk]

because it's costing them time/money

[fallow finch]

What should i do then if it costs money and time

[celest musk]

invest your own time

[fallow finch]

Since 3 years im spending my free times on ue4 even weekends

I have Virtual Exhibition Finished and VR classroom still under construction ..
Also i have my own game remodelling simulator but i still dont know the Niagara for example optimazition some VR features

Yes because im alone its hard 😅

[quasi mantle]

Being alone isn't really a reason IMHO

[fallow finch]

You are right but my brain **** 😋

[celest musk]

there are courses on learn.unrealengine.com

[carmine frigate]

find out what studio is closest to you

[celest musk]

and/or udemy or however its called

[fallow finch]

Yes i know it

[fallow finch]

Yes its also good

[fallow finch]

Unfortounetly there is not

[fathom wadi]

if you have 3 years experience with Unreal I would advise against working for free. You should be good enough in that time to earn at least something.

[carmine frigate]

well getting relocated w/o gettin payed i wouldnt see as an option

[fallow finch]

Im but i want more advanced things thats

[celest musk]

3 years on weekends...

[fallow finch]

Thanks guys for advices

[celest musk]

thats like half a year fulltime

[fallow finch]

Not all the 3 years weekends

[fathom wadi]

I was awesome in my first 6 months tbh. I got worse :p

[fallow finch]

Lol yea

[fathom wadi]

I actually worked for free for the first 3 years of my unreal experience. I considered it paying my dues. But it was good for me because I wanted to learn a bit about everything, not everything about one thing.

[fallow finch]

Well i have paid works let me show you one sec

[fathom wadi]

Im still on a 1080ti. Make that 20.

Guys also i have question 😋 :kappa:

Someone want to make VR Market

Like people can shop from That market

Is that a good idea to do it with ue4?

[fathom wadi]

there are two dedicated ones already. One ran by Oculus and one ran by Vive. Steam does it as a side. Pretty much they take up the whole market.

[fallow finch]

Yes but its for real markets exist on field

Users have accounts to login and post request to shop owner via admin panel etc..

But he want that for VR box for android

The lighting and shadows not working on Android

😩

[fathom wadi]

mobile lighting and shadows aren't good enough for VR. You can do it but you are extremely limited in how many dynamic lights you can have at once

[fallow finch]

Yes thats why im still confused

Also i was thinking to do fake shadows using decals

But it costing alot

[fathom wadi]

I've talked with people who have tried to get around the limitations and they always fail and just resort to putting up with it. Of course this is only in the dynamic sense. You can still bake lighting and shadows fine

[fallow finch]

Yes its very limites

Also i have watched metaballs video

[cursive crypt]

A man can't cuss anymore without someone breathing in his neck.

[fathom wadi]

I fkin can. I'm Northern English. We swear for breakfast, lunch and muthafuckin' dinner 😄

It always annoyed me that Ricky Gervais can use the c-word on Twitter, but when I say I get a temp ban. If you are Scottish you can get away with it too. I don't get that regional or financial allowance for cursing.

[quasi mantle]

And then Donald Trump got permabanned for slander and misinformation from being butthurt.

[fathom wadi]

After he caused the Capital Riots and got some people murdered, I'd have banned him too. The platform helped with it's tendency to market right wing rhetoric to those who engage in it, but he did send them there with what he said.

Which led me to believe ESA is the superior little brother.

[foggy path]

I dunno, I just thought it was funny

They handled it like adults and Dave made jokes about being banned from GDQ forever

:D

I see some people whine about GDQ being "too PC" or whatever but frankly I think the people complaining about that have a problem, not GDQ :P

[cursive crypt]

... and I was just cussing here that my Debian explorer stopped responding, then I realised I don't remember restarting this year.

[quasi mantle]

To be fair on GDQ, it is a much bigger game marathon event with a (rumoured) stricter rules imposed by the charity foundations.
ESA is smaller in comparison, and they have more leeway to experiment around. Which is why GTA games ran more in ESA than GDQ (until recently, somehow)

[foggy path]

Yeah

[fathom wadi]

professionality leads to the need to avoid cursing. Which I can completely understand. I don't curse when im working with someone. I save up all my swears for when im working alone. Then its one big swear.

[quasi mantle]

Also ESA hosted God of War run (the original 2005 one, not the BOI one) and they showed the softcore porn scenes from the game, uncut.

(well, in part due to GOW '05 cutscenes being unskippable)

[fathom wadi]

you dont see anything in those tbh. It's all inferred.

[foggy path]

lol

[cursive crypt]

Avoid with clients. In our team, occasionally someone cuss in the office.

[fathom wadi]

I remember a movie where someone said "I dont trust a man who doesn't curse"

[cursive crypt]

/brain

[fathom wadi]

the movie was Falling Down

[cursive crypt]

Sounds like trust was misplaced anyway.

[timber viper]

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War does not use this new engine, but instead uses a highly modified version of the Black Ops III engine.[30] Call of Duty: Vanguard is powered by the same engine used in Modern Warfare and Warzone with enhancements from developer Sledgehammer Games.

Cold War does not use Warzone engine, Vanguard using Warzone's engine and its becoming an engineception in the end lol

It should be very confusing for the development team

[foggy path]

I doubt it's confusing for the devs, they must have selected the engine for some reason

[quasi mantle]

The thing with Call of Duty is that multiple studios take turn developing the games in an annual cycle, each turn can take about 2 to 3 years.

[foggy path]

yeah^

[timber viper]

Yeah

But I guess meanwhile they're upgrading their own engines

That also explains why some CoD games works well on my device and some not

Yes. It used to be consistently usefull, atleast to me. Now i have to filter through reviews to get the actual value of it..

[analog lily]

Is this usable as a runtime spline tool? Didn't know that if so

[plucky pagoda]

Even if it's not I'm sure there's a way to come up with something that would do exactly the same thing at runtime.

[broken sigil]

Main reason why I gave up on the marketplace stuff
Someone who just started using UE buys my stuff and expects me to literally do everything for them, I can't count how many times that happened

Or even better something is not how they imagined it would be and it is instantly a 1 star review even tho the plugin does what it is suppose to 😐

[quasi mantle]

ECHO CHAMBER IS THE FUTURE

[broken sigil]

Yeah.... Sounds familiar lol

[verbal junco]

I don't like how the marketplace and UE4 in general promotes incompetence when it comes to development

[analog lily]

People getting stuff for free complain less :p

[broken sigil]

I mean there were some really great people I met this way as well, some I'm still in contact today
So it doesn't seem like everyone is annoying but those that are just kill your will to do anything on the marketplace

I think the problem is that UE4 attracts users of different skill levels by having stuff like BPs and it becomes a massive pain the butt for marketplace creators to deal with them

Shit in -> shit out and all that

[verbal junco]

I mean yeah that's what I meant when I said epic promotes incompetence with the way they do things

and I see it in the channels too 😔

[broken sigil]

it might be a good thing for the engine but a massive pain for creators

[verbal junco]

it's a good way for them to generate income

[broken sigil]

oh yeah

although I'm not sure whether or not the marketplace income isn't just a speck of dust compared to the money they take from the film industry etc.

apparently unity has a mascot called unity chan

couldn't rename the default character you got from a template unless you changed ini files

This actually affected me, as I still have doubt whether to release my demo with marketplace assets or not

I'm still unable to create monsters on my own, so...

[mossy nexus]

Damn right! My game currently has no assets at all! Suck on that devs!

[broken sigil]

programmer art all the way

[mossy nexus]

Not even any UAssets

[quasi mantle]

Basically 64 KB (or less) demos

Pablo Vazquez?

[broken sigil]

I'm definitely not an artists but previously I did a bit of 3d art for my game, I think it looked decent lol

like 5 years ago

lol

[quasi mantle]

I don't like Disney ish art styles but it's good looking ngl

[fathom wadi]

easy way to do characters. Download another character, change the face.

cc3 seems pretty good

if you can do it though, just add some morph targets on a facial model, mess with the values, clean it up after.

I've never done a fresh model of a character before. Seems moot when you can copy/paste and alter.

thats in terms of game models though. Not actual full artworks of detailed char models. There is a point to that

[broken sigil]

I only did hard surface modelling, anything else would end up looking like a nightmare monster

[fathom wadi]

I did some sculpting but only basic stuff. It doesn't seem that hard with the tools that are there. When you mess up there is always a tool to smooth things out or step backwards/reverse what you do

[quasi mantle]

NGL, modelling low poly characters are harder than I initially thought.

Specifically PS1-esque models.

Like the UV mapping had to be particularly precise.

[fathom wadi]

just over-exert the retopo , et voila 😄

there are shaders you can get that apply ps1 style topo to the mesh. Not used them personally but they get good results

got a 404 on that link

you know what I miss? Games that let you play whilst installing the parts you obviously won't get to until later on. Whatever happened to that? Especially with over 100gb games now

maybe with some games. I only run two games on EA tho. Fifa and Apex. Both of which you kinda need all the content there

The last game I remember letting me play whilst installing was Diablo 3

[night grove]

Guild Wars 2 has a really slick dynamic installation system like this

[fathom wadi]

Ive seen this guy before. That clementine isn't bug eyed enough tho 😄

[pearl elk]

https://tenor.com/view/clementine-gif-18477854

[thorny dock]

So did guild wars 1, except not so slick, you download each area as you get to it 😂, that includes re-downloading if it's been updated

sure you could leave your PC running for 3 days to download the whole game but then you couldn't play the game for 3 days straight like you were originally trying to do

[quasi mantle]

It's just for the privileged 😉

Though it could be worse cough downloading every frame

[unborn lotus]

https://www.artstation.com/blogs/nimlot/zr6L/lets-talk-a-bit-about-what-you-post-on-artstation don't like that guy ever since this elitist gatekeeping rant

[cursive crypt]

Sounds nice to post only the best of one, but everyone is on different place on that road. There are many juniors. You can also replace your old work with improved versions later.

It is kinda like the UE mp too. There is a lot of... 'questionable' content.

[quasi mantle]

Man, COD Vanguard weapons are wacky as heck

[unborn lotus]

Well artstation filters out the best stuff anyway. The only way his crappy zbrush got in the front page because he had thousands of followers. Not really fair since beginner work won't show up anyway.

[unborn lotus]

I think a like/dislike system would be pretty good for the mp

[cursive crypt]

It will be workarounded. Like the Review system which is 90% nonsense.

[quasi mantle]

Like bruh
Drum mag and akimbo goes with everything

[cursive crypt]

The moment you have a free for the month asset - you get a pump of hundreds of reviews

Which automatically makes various MP crawlers think, this is da best asset.

Or clueless buyers.

[unborn lotus]

true, but it can still get dislikes

actually, forget it, stuff will get bombed by dislikes 😆

maybe sort by sales

[cursive crypt]

Brigading, also someone will read on YT/FB/Meta and see, ah no, dislike bad, not visible.

[quasi mantle]

Don't worry, YouTube ended disliking

[cursive crypt]

That too might be misleading, selling - cheap & or was free at some point.

[quasi mantle]

Now everyone can spread all the positivity 🌻

[cursive crypt]

Best would be have ppl review. Curated lists.

[quasi mantle]

Positivity even in echo chambers and scam landmines.

[cursive crypt]

And I mean serious reviews, not freaking 'good', 'does the job', etc.

[unborn lotus]

it would be pretty helpful for creators to figure out what people want to get

[cursive crypt]

They start from somewhere, also if they experienced at least enough to provide a meaningful review, they can spot the quality.

[quasi mantle]

LMFAO I never going to post on ArtStation anyway.

My works don't have place there, based on that post.

[cursive crypt]

So far, it ain't going to happen though. It is a lot of work and there is no.. 💰 motivation.

[unborn lotus]

yeah

[cursive crypt]

Hence, we stuck as that ArtStation and the hundreds of other digital assets marketplaces.

[unborn lotus]

a curated, showcased list sounds good

[unborn lotus]

yeah, that post is crap. post anyway!

[quasi mantle]

Because all I did was a lot of research WIPs and fanarts, which is more acceptable on DeviantArt and alike (as much as DA lacks in 3D CG artwork)

[unborn lotus]

doesn't even matter. if you don't have the thousands followers giving you likes it won't show up in the hompeage and Nimlot there won't be offended 😆

[quasi mantle]

I'll just say, "Excuse you, but the reason I posted it is because I'm happy with what I achieved. I know it can be replaced with a better one, but I'm happy with it, even if I cringe on it in a later days. Hate it because it's a work in progress, then get fucked."

Okay, maybe not that expletive, but yeah

After all, isn't one of the key to improving is to appreciate step forward, even if it's a bit?

[unborn lotus]

true. and imagine the missed opportunities like feedback, critiques, networking made by NOT posting because of what that dude said

[quasi mantle]

And appreciating is not always about being "kyaaah sugoiii your work is so good OMG", giving a feedback to consider is also one way to appreciate a progress.

After all, there's really no such thing as "fully completed" work. It's more of "good enough that you can stop working on it"

[open garden]

not if you are perfect

i do not have this problem, for example

[cursive crypt]

https://gizmodo.com/buying-a-ps5-may-get-even-harder-as-sony-reportedly-cut-1848039026

oh, no - poor ps gamers

[pearl elk]

apparently I can trade in my PS4 to get a cheaper preorder PS5, doesnt sound like a bad deal tbh

[cursive crypt]

They gonna recycle your board into a ps5

... with a firmware patch.

[pearl elk]

they wanna give me $200 for my PS4, I think I paid about that for it lol

[cursive crypt]

Hmm... maybe hold more. Price will go up.

[pearl elk]

PS4 can play Death Stranding, should be worth atleast $1000

[cursive crypt]

This is the way.

[pearl elk]

judging by the 3080ti price to performance that sounds fair 🙂

can buy latest iphone and both consoles for less than a high end GPU

[cursive crypt]

You can buy a car.

[pearl elk]

maybe a crapy one yeah, like a camry

wont be able to put fuel in it though 😛

[cursive crypt]

Hey, it is a car. It does the job. Some ppl ain't rich.

When I was buying my 6900xt, the seller was very careful. Said, that this card costs like an old car and he was right.

[pearl elk]

well old cars here cost like 32k haha

early 00s cars are the cheap shit

[cursive crypt]

lol, old ones, I talk about 20 years old, cost around $1-2k

[pearl elk]

I like my BA Falcon, Im not worried about pranging it cuz its not expensive

imagine owning a hypercar and driving like an old lady

[cursive crypt]

When we say an old car we mean 20 years old here.
10-15 is normal.

[cursive crypt]

grandomobile

[pearl elk]

crazy thing is some of those old cars are still better than newer cars

new styling but no guts

[cursive crypt]

Too much software. Have a friend who was very reluctant back then to switch to after 2000y models. He was able to fix everything by himself before. Now it is all composites, diagnostics and prays.

[pearl elk]

well tbh Im not that much of a purist, I hate carbies

I love me some modern ECU, trouble is the aluminium blocks

[cursive crypt]

There are many little troubles.

[pearl elk]

ECU in my 2004 takes 3mins odd to flash so I'll be swapping it out for a Haltech

[unborn lotus]

but also stuff hardly ever breaks?

[pearl elk]

engine management is heaps better, puts the car in limp mode when it detects things are up and can tune on the fly as well as tuning for different octanes on the fly

[cursive crypt]

Stuff always break. Nowadays because it is old, or because it is cheap - or both.

[pearl elk]

lol or people never change their oil

[cursive crypt]

A colleague got a Mazda 6 back then, brand new. 1 year later, had to replace the lights. Then something else broke, a bit after its warranty.

[unborn lotus]

yeah but with older cars you had to maintain it. our family car from the 90s had to be treated like a queen...or else. we had to have a trunk full of spare parts. the only thing I do with my polo is replace the wiper fluid 😆

[cursive crypt]

Well, wait to see 30 y later what will be your car.

[pearl elk]

mine will still be running hehe

[cursive crypt]

Ofc, they need some maintenance, but it is different kind. Like being able to fix it yourself or give it to someone else to fix.

[unborn lotus]

I want to trade it in for an electric in a few years

[cursive crypt]

Nowadays is mostly giving it so someone else.

Yeah, these are more simpler they say. At least the motor side of things 😄

Waiting for the news of melting batteries.

[pearl elk]

easier to hack

[unborn lotus]

going to get a super small e-up because 99% of my trips are with 3 people max and mostly city, under 200km trips

[pearl elk]

once the thieves work out Teslas they wont steal anything else

[cursive crypt]

Yeah, makes sense.

[pearl elk]

Ive even heard having a key start makes it more difficult cuz most of em are setup for keyless steals these days

[cursive crypt]

Depends, it may want you to login to the server on sitting behind the wheel.

[pearl elk]

or theres the joke about having a manual transmissions as an anti-theft device cuz no one can drive a stick anymore

[cursive crypt]

Then if you unsub from the monthly fees, you can't drive.

[pearl elk]

cops are gonna have a fun time trying to chase down a plaid mode

[cursive crypt]

haha, yes, I hear manuals are rare in some countries.

Listen you little ....

[pearl elk]

you drive the whole car with 1 button

[cursive crypt]

I always wanted to try driving with four buttons, as an old gamer.

[quasi mantle]

Does it come with a penguin pet?

[pearl elk]

I wouldnt own a tesla if I were rich, Id own one if I were poor 😛

[cursive crypt]

Fart mode? It converts gas to electricity?

[pearl elk]

Koenigsegg Gemera please none of this pleb Taycan garbage hehehe

[quasi mantle]

Referral link for free supercharging

[pearl elk]

the cars made of carbon fiber, its stronger than a tinfoil tesla 🙂

[cursive crypt]

Maybe you can make apps for Tesla?

[red pewter]

car DLC is so insane lol

[pearl elk]

call me crazy but I always thought cars were about driving

[cursive crypt]

Nah, they about farting.

I mean that's how modern car move.

[quasi mantle]

[quasi mantle]

I'm sure the electromagnetic of cell network isn't enough to generate pow--

Wait... "Tesla" and the misunderstanding of wireless power transmission. I get it.

[pearl elk]

the plan is to have wireless chargers on the roads so you can microwave your ass

At least the food won't go cold.

[celest musk]

now press the 4th white key

[deep glen]

which one XD

[celest musk]

the joke is almost ruined

[deep glen]

squarey ones, or elongated ones

[deep glen]

atm its doing crap, waiting for the software to install

[celest musk]

😄

i guess you gonna use it for everything but music?

[deep glen]

i like to fiddle with beats and headbobs in my spare time actually

not saying any of it is any good, but its fun

[celest musk]

https://monogramcc.com/ i wish those wheren't sooo fricking expensive

[deep glen]

that does look cool, and neat how they used the website for it.

[celest musk]

and it works apparently quite well with unreal

[pearl elk]

[deep glen]

also, holy shii dat price

[celest musk]

yea the price is insane

have you even considered using your keyboard for unreal?

because you can

[deep glen]

i just got it, and while I do make some vfx, nothing that ever needed something like that

[celest musk]

i mean for controls, not for audio stuff 😄

[deep glen]

i got that, hehe

[celest musk]

yea most of the stuff that he shows off in the video is quite useless in editor

[clear cape]

hotkeys are too complex since they involve pressing more than one button , you need a separate hardware for them

[quasi mantle]

I'd get something like this but at least 3 octaves, for my tracked music needs.

[red pewter]

Surely there are cheaper slider/nob pad options?

[celest musk]

there are indeed

like the keyboard which Luos got

which seems to be ~$80 bucks? which seems like a good price/value ratio

did anyone here use ESP32 to add some functionality to unreal?

ordered a gyroscope/accelerator for it, and hope to get some kind of 3d space input working

[quasi mantle]

I mean, this is doable with just a computer keyboard, but I tend to hit the wrong notes more often than not, which isn't fun when I'm not writing jazz.

[celest musk]

just not sure what's the best way to provide the data to unreal

[deep glen]

as a newb when it coems to music, and not that much space-desk left, this is more than enough for me.

[foggy path]

@deep glen how spongy are the drum keys on that

I have a bigger launchkey and the drum buttons are so freaking spongy you really have to smash them so hard...

:D

[deep glen]

cant tell, the last time I touched something with keys was when I was like 4-5 years old using grandma's organ XD

[foggy path]

lol

yeah mine's alright other than the drum keys, but maybe they'd get less mushy with more use

[deep glen]

they feel quite responsive though

will take some time to figure this thing out though

so many options

this reason is actually not true

i posted one thing per day for less than 7 days in a row

i definitely didn't post more than 7 times and i think i acctually did like 5-6 times in a row

so where is another 6 things

I don't mind getting a strike for the right reason but the reason here is a lie

i just wanna find out what exactly was wrong
