If you enjoy, you enjoy /shrug

It is Steam stats I think.

https://steam250.com/bottom100 numero 19

35% of 63k reviews are positive, lol

Maybe. I don't care in fact, just got curious.

I prefer Serious Sam, "Aaaaaaaaa, Boom!"

[median wraith]

Devs don't like Steam reviews

but usually are on point

or have a general reason, despite at some point are exaggerated

[cursive crypt]

Will be fine, if they don't start fixing it they will loose money.

Does anyone know if the user "discobot" is a legitimate part of Unreal on the Forums?

[foggy path]

I can't see a user called that on the server

Are they DM'ing you claiming to be Epic staff or something?

[limpid sail]

on the web forums it's a bot asking me to bookmark their message or reply to them with a link they give me. I see on their profile there is a "trust level: leader" flair . I don't know what that is though

it was a wiki link

Heh, ironic.

[stiff crystal]

wtf, someone passed flatout 3 on that list

[tulip orbit]

crap. I fat fingered my keyboard and now the ghost when moving a BSP brush is gone

also, F*** bsps... gonna make meshes.

[quasi mantle]

I joked on #level-design about how using BSP is a federal crime

Imagine getting raid by level designer alliance and federal polices, Rainbow Six Siege style, just because you're using BSP brushes to block out levels.

[night grove]

Doesn't BSP stand for Best Stuff for Prototyping?

[quasi mantle]

Or in afterlife, you told by God to rot in hell for using BSP brushes throughout your life.

[tulip orbit]

I just wanna do floor plan design, building around an existing barn, but all the free house CAD programs are f***king terrible

and if I can start by building the existing barn, I can populate it with fun meshes from the MP...

[quasi mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/f-bi-raid-swat-gif-11500735

[quasi mantle]

The consequences of using BSP brushes for blocking out level at your home

Conspiracy theory:
What if the BSP brush feature in Unreal is made by Epic against their own will, and was actually commissioned by FBI to catch criminal scum using BSPs

"Filthy BSP casuals must be punished by full extent of the federal law."

[tulip orbit]

Yeah, might start with that. But if I spend that much time in blender... might as well stay in blender...

Hmm, I have an "interior toolkit" in my vault, but the launcher doesnt know where my project is located to add it, as I created the project in a source build...

[tribal cipher]

hey guys, what are some ways to make money with ue4 or ue5?

besides making games that is

[quasi mantle]

The same way you would make money with any other game engine or DCC tools.

As I told you yesterday.

[tribal cipher]

yeah but be more specific pls

@zinc matrix I dont think im at that level lol

to make high quality movies at least

but i can make background enviroments ig

im saying this cuz i just dont want to spend 4-5 months ( at least) making a game or learning unnecessary things

[quasi mantle]

It's going to be too long to mention all of them, but, to name a few:

• make games and sell it
• make game assets and sell it
• make animated video with it
• make portfolio with it and get hired

[tribal cipher]

game assets seem the best

but it doesnt make that much though

[quasi mantle]

You could make some decent income with selling ready to use assets, sell them on Gumroad or something

[tribal cipher]

hmmmmm i see

like selling enviroments using premade assets?

[quasi mantle]

Well, no, you should make your own stuff, otherwise that's leeching, and DMCA takedown is the least threatening consequences.

[tribal cipher]

oh damn

[quasi mantle]

Especially with environments.

[tribal cipher]

even if i use like, quixel and stuff?

mp?

[quasi mantle]

Well, Quixel stuff could be fine, just make sure you distribute it as Unreal Engine assets.

[tribal cipher]

also, how long does it take to learn enviroment design?

fair enough

[quasi mantle]

There's no such thing as "learning unnecessary things".

I disagree with that statement.

[tribal cipher]

i mean like, if i learn how to chroma key, then i want to make a game, how would that be usefull?

also, ig i meant skills i wount be using

[quasi mantle]

If you're talking specifically about games, one of them could be making on screen visual effect using video (Rise of the Tomb Raider did this for the water flood and avalanche sequence)

[quasi mantle]

You would use them in later day, one way or another.

[tribal cipher]

your correct, but i want to specify a rout or path or goal for myself , and gain neccessary skills to get closer to that goal, is what im saying

[quasi mantle]

Well, virtual production is a thing.

I did get around to use UE back when I was working for event organising firm.

(though the client being corpos, notorious for unreasonable deadline, my physical health do suffer from unpaid overtimes)

Assuming it's "I guess"

I'd say not even close. People seem to complain a lot of missing features in comparison to offline renderers

[tribal cipher]

is ue optimal for making the enviroment?

[quasi mantle]

Yeah. If you want proof, good games that are made with it.

[tribal cipher]

ok then. just to make sure, i meant putting the enviroment together, then maybe rendering with blender : D

[quasi mantle]

lmao no

If you want to render with Blender, might as well make it there

Like that's some unnecessary leg work when Unreal's raster render is already good out of the box.

[tribal cipher]

fair enouhg

so blender or unreal then?

like, blender doesnt have the scatter function

but i can make the assets with it

then mix and match with quixel mixer

[quasi mantle]

If you're using Quixel Megascans, using the free Unreal licence, and making final renders of them in Blender, then no, it's EULA violation.

[tribal cipher]

well ill be rendering with unreal

[quasi mantle]

What's your definition of scatter function?

[tribal cipher]

like the brush that randomly puts things

ill tell u once ue5 loads up

[quasi mantle]

Sounds like particle emitter to me (in Blender)

[tribal cipher]

true

hmmmm

[mossy nexus]

If you use Marketplace assets, you cannot resell those assets. So creating what would essentially be another asset pack regardless where you sell it or if you give it away for free is a major no-no. Anything Quixel related inc Megascans is in exactly the same boat - you cannot sell / give away assets from Quixel.

[tribal cipher]

oh ok thank you for the clarification!

[mossy nexus]

Marketplace assets you buy, you are only buying the license to use them not to resell them, same with Megascans. There was some uncertainty around Megascans for a while, but that got cleared up a few months back.

Anything which the license says you can do is fine of course Mr ponkkis. Making games, movies, etc are all good.

Putting assets from the MP or Quixel into another asset pack and selling or giving away isn't though 😄

[median wraith]

https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/r78moa/halo_infinite_has_a_major_desync_problem_which_is

[mossy nexus]

That's an impressive amount of desync

It wasn't a cyclist?

or wasn't a video?

[thorny dock]

I've played a decent-ish amount of infinite, I've crashed around in vehicles like that, never been killed out of nowhere, or experienced that kind of desync (as far as I can tell), if you spectate someone it almost looks like it's refreshed every 1 second or something like that, I have a very hard time believing anything from reddit

[last matrix]

All the the tech and yet none of the knowledge

[quasi mantle]

The bear's colour is the dead giveaway.

Though the motion blur matching is decent tho, I give him that.

[tribal cipher]

ok so, if im going to make the enviroment from scratch, using only models i created, its gonnna take waaay too long

[last matrix]

not if they're all boxes

is this a tree on a box? is this a gopher on a box? is this a demon... on a box?

[zinc matrix]

or you could be boring and do low poly

[quasi mantle]

If you're using Blender, you can also make some stuff out of geometry nodes.

aka procedural modelling

Grass atop wrapped rice… what does this mean? 🤔 @quasi mantle <- the first glyph.

[quasi mantle]

Lol
It's the kanji writing of Makoto Kikuchi

[quasi mantle]

The name of this fine lass

[shell rapids]

Been studying the etymology. Can’t say I’ve crossed these glyph yet… but some of their radicals I recognize.

[quasi mantle]

First two letter reads "Kikuchi"
Last letter reads "Makoto" (sometimes confused as "shin" by machine translators)

Gosh, I love that tomboy idol so much~

[shell rapids]

きくち 👍🏻

[quasi mantle]

Though the thing with Japanese kanji is that multiple letters can represent one syllable, and one letter can represent multiple syllable

[shell rapids]

Yes, their on-yomi and kun-yomi.

chrysanthemum - interesting

[cursive crypt]

Oh, weebs incoming

[shell rapids]

Haha, your a funny one! I’m just an average American studying the Japanese language and culture. 🙃

(Also exploring some of the Chinese history too.)

匊 - 勹 (to wrap) + 米 (rice)
菊 - 艹 (grass) + 匊 (handful)
So a handful of grass makes for chrysanthemums. 🤔
地 - 土 (earth) + 也 (as well)

The name 菊地 possibly means ‘a field of chrysanthemums’

I bet they're having a massive rush of new users now so I have my suspicions of how legitimate that price was

Y game is some kind of bad version of X

pretty much every release lately 😛

can you sell environment made in unreal as "game" with just having simple room that's visually pleasing?

like sell it as nft

[pearl elk]

zen garden nft

[zinc matrix]

does ue have all these features? https://www.simplygon.com/

just make bunch of trippy abstract stuff and sell it

nah it has nanites

[cursive crypt]

[pearl elk]

meshes are so boomer

[zinc matrix]

wait. nanite is not meshes?

Meshes are still useful. UE is a fishing app afaik.

[zinc matrix]

isnt remeshing just lods?

[cursive crypt]

You throw a mesh, you get a fish.

[tribal cipher]

im challenging myself

so, i have to make money with unreal in 1 week

[pearl elk]

here have 10c

whats your next challenge?

[tribal cipher]

well, this ones not done yet

it has conditions

[pearl elk]

I just gave you 10c for using Unreal

[tribal cipher]

it has to be from something i made in unreal

[pearl elk]

I dunno how strict youre gonna be with that one

[tribal cipher]

for now , i have a couple options ive thought of

well, the main goal is to begin to make money from unreal

like, have an income of sorts

i can make an enviroment, but i dunno if its garuenteed to sell

as i have never made any before

[pearl elk]

I guess the best way to find out is to try

but how are you going to sell it within a week?

[tribal cipher]

thats the problem

i put the time limit on purpose

so i could narrow down my choices

[pearl elk]

most marketplaces require some sort of approval process

but you could get some sort of contract but then if you've never done an environment might be a hard sell

[unborn lotus]

if it's good, making money on the ue marketplace is a given. but depends on your skills. If you think you can do it, make it 1 month so it has more content + more money

[tribal cipher]

well, i dont want to make a ton of money lol, i just want to see if the given method works

[pearl elk]

its not so much about money but turn around time

[tribal cipher]

yessir

[mossy nexus]

One week makes a bad product... 😄

Bad product doesn't sell

[pearl elk]

you said you want to make money in a week, thats a supremely fast turn around

I couldnt even do that with 15yrs of UE

[tribal cipher]

if it involves sculpting , i might be able to pull it off

[pearl elk]

realistic goals perhaps

[mossy nexus]

Marketplace sales are 45 days in arrears from the end of the month... so 1 week is impossible 😄

[tribal cipher]

well, i can put it on other places right?

[mossy nexus]

Sure

[tribal cipher]

like sketchfab, turbosquid, etc

[mossy nexus]

Your environment, what kind?

[tribal cipher]

maybe a procedural abstract enviroment

using geometry nodes in blender

[unborn lotus]

I wouldn't even bother though, the ue marketplace gets a ton of traffic

[mossy nexus]

That means nothing 😄

[pearl elk]

Im not doubting that you could make it in a week, its making money off it bit Im doubtful of. Even getting it on a store will take atleast alittle time for people to see it and buy

[mossy nexus]

procedural abstract = ?? 😄

[tribal cipher]

like music vid loops

which can be customized

[mossy nexus]

Sounds very niche

[tribal cipher]

mmmmm

is that bad?

[mossy nexus]

Niche means that very few people will want / need it.

[tribal cipher]

i mean if i get one sell for like 20$ i consider it a win

[pearl elk]

speaking of niche, I always pronounced it neesh, cant stand it where I hear it said as nitch 😛

[mossy nexus]

yup.

[tribal cipher]

is it possible to manipulate geometry nodes in unreal engine?

[mossy nexus]

Same with clique

[mossy nexus]

Nope. Well not yet.

[pearl elk]

[tribal cipher]

i mean if u guys have an better idea im all ears

not the best website though, doesnt really give much info

[tribal cipher]

[cursive crypt]

[pearl elk]

you should only sell one and a half tbh

unless you want to crap into a bag for the rest of your life

Nah, go short. Borrow kidneys, sell them high, buy them back low.

[pearl elk]

[cursive crypt]

that no one gets into game dev for the money

[quasi mantle]

Aside from those charlatan, probably not much else worth a spotlight.

[upbeat geode]

aww 😢

[quasi mantle]

Most game devs, even indie ones, are either know what they're doing or just gave up mid way and move on.

YandereDev is like one unique exception, in that he got too many bad things going on. I bet one could remake his game in its "vanilla" form, in Unreal, with just a game jam frametime, while also endorsing the video to Unreal Online Learning courses.

"I made Yandere Simulator in Unreal Engine in 2 weeks"

I would love to do that, but I just don't have free time and unable to endorse game dev courses to sponsor the video

[tribal cipher]

did i tell u guys about my new plan?

[zinc matrix]

What plan?

[left granite]

assassin plan
||/jk||

[thorny dock]

sniper golf

tell me you wouldn't give the trailer a watch scrolling through a list of games

[unborn lotus]

and yet no UV editor improvements 😔 also realized another thing I need...just a regular toolbar to put commands on easily

[quasi mantle]

Eh, I don't really paying much attention to golf games.

[thorny dock]

me either but I think VR sniper golf would be a funny concept

[cursive crypt]

And no texture painting...

I think I have looked at their planning and UI as well animation was a focus.

• some others, I forget easily

[quasi mantle]

Holy mackerels, I'm really sold at pose sliding.
It was a bit of a hassle to do tweening, ngl, being having to go through subframes, copy pose for entire bone, and then apply the keyframe to all of them. Cleaning up the keyframe was a huge chore.

[verbal junco]

ah blender 3.0, looking forward to all those features I won't ever use

[cursive crypt]

Asset browser, yeah, lol

I mean, that good

[quasi mantle]

Fuck you, I'm going to use all the new animation features, particularly the tweening ones

[timber viper]

Wow, compiler trademarked its uint8 lol

[median wraith]

Yeah sad that wasn't a thing until now...
In their defense I think the rest of tools don't have it at all?
But they preview the scenes before open

[cursive crypt]

That kinda tangent. Having an asset browser is a hole in the industry basically.

Like all them 3d models, textures, shaders if you want, 2d images, etc.

Local, server, online, offline, revisioning, etc.

I have an idea for startup.

[fluid bloom]

hmm I wonder if there's an air leak there

the meter says 3.2 degrees C

[deep glen]

dang

[fluid bloom]

Previous owner was an idiot DIY guy

Moved the electricity outlet by a meter and did not cover the old hole

The hole is behind the cabinet. I did the renovation during the summer so I had no idea it is leaking that cold air in.

Noticed that just now

[deep glen]

dont have time to get into it atm, but my landlord is the same. this house is a mess. but luckily its cheap.

one example: when a window its hinge broke, he just shaved off the other side of the window so it would fit in the frame again.

[zinc matrix]

Well then...

looks like dynamic material instances refuse to do anything on tick

Guess I'll move on to something else

[carmine frigate]

dont create dynamic material on tick

it wil reset to default

you can tick dynamic materials just fine

[zinc matrix]

I made the dynam mat instance on construction script lol

But the parameters act strangely

Hmm let me try something

Then it collapses, the moon get split by 2 and get off from the orbit and destroy us

What if there is melted cheese inside instead? There will be a rain of sandwiches.

[quasi mantle]

I think there's some reference issue with Construction Script in runtime, I remember someone had it and he had to redo the Construction Script on Event BeginPlay.

[sudden pewter]

is answerhub unmoderated? I reported thoose one month ago

I'm kinda shocked to see that they're still up

[cursive crypt]

No clue, but you might take that to Epic instead here 🤔

[sudden pewter]

I assume the report button would be "taking that to epic"

I'm just curious to know what's the state of the answerhub and I don't think epic is going to tell me "yeah it's dead lol" if it is

which is why I'm asking the community

[cursive crypt]

Go ask in #ue4-general maybe, but imo, it is hardly usable.

The AnswerHub that is.

[zinc matrix]

Ah well at least it isn't just me

[quasi mantle]

I'm surprised those exists at all in UE Answerhub. Usually it would be blogspot sites that got targeted.

[cursive crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/frank-en-rogier-frank-rogier-frank-en-rogier-checken-in-belt-gif-18320563

[quasi mantle]

But yeah, Answerhub is pretty much stagnant.

[cursive crypt]

Everything works, when you don't open it 🧠

[quasi mantle]

I'm still wondering how weekly karma earners got their score, considering how stagnant the site is 🤔

[sudden pewter]

so they'll move it's functionality to the forums?

I assume the forums already overlap with the answerhub

it has always been confusing as to why they both do the same thing tbh

[quasi mantle]

Again, these comments don't make much sense, as you'd need Epic account to join, and it's not tied to blogspot or (AFAIK) Wordpress/Gravatar

Their usual targets were blogging sites.

[sudden pewter]

well

🤷🏻‍♂️ I have no clue how they got there

https://answers.unrealengine.com/answers/1039355/view.html

but it's on this thread if anyone's curious

[quasi mantle]

That's even more WTF

Did the bot just scour through the targeted word and register to whatever login service the site had?

[quasi mantle]

It's just as scary as that one time when porn link bot brigade the YouTube comment section, with one scary twist: They copy the top comments of the video, and then reply to someone's comment that don't gain much likes, making it almost context aware.
Dozens of my comments on YT hit with those, and it's painful

<@&213101288538374145>

[sudden pewter]

oof

must be annoying to moderate but what's shocking me is that it's been a month since I reported them

[quasi mantle]

nice
now make a meme out of it

[quasi mantle]

Also didn't expect Blender 3 to be quite slick, being so used to 2.8 UI. I'm going to have fun tomorrow with the animation tools for sure lol

[median wraith]

lol

make sure you tell your son about that

[quasi mantle]

I estimate Blender 4.0 to be at least 10 years later, judging from 2.8+ dev cycle.

[median wraith]

you are wrong

2.0 stand 20 years

so 2040

🤔

[quasi mantle]

Well, they kind of revamped their dev cycle after 2.8 came out.

As far as things goes, 2.8 should've been the 3.0, due to how drastic the change was, compared to the actual 3.0 and 2.93.

However, the next alpha version is 3.1, as opposed to 3.01.

[cursive crypt]

Blender 3.1 would be one the moon rises over east cost, causing disruption in the release engineer's mojito.

Because 3.x is 90 degree turned M, which means Mojito

[median wraith]

Now each 10 buttons you press in Hunt Showdown (After pay 40€ for it) you get spam to buy other of their games

[cursive crypt]

Well, buy one so they shut up?

[median wraith]

I don't think I own all the crysis

xd

They want me to get the remaster and won't ever think that shut it

[cursive crypt]

Its like the ransoms then 🤔 If you give once, they will come back for more.

[quasi mantle]

I don't even think the remaster is that okay.
For one thing, they used frankensteined version of CryEngine 3 as opposed to going with more streamlined CryEngine 5, and still based on the inferior 7th gen console ports.

[median wraith]

They used Cryengine 3 ?

are you sure about that ?

It totally looked like some kind of imported project

well they removed the procedural breakable elements

and their physics engine

so maybe is Cryengine 3 with the ported elements ? lmao

[quasi mantle]

Probably the tenth time I rearrange the editor

[median wraith]

yeah that panel there is bad

[quasi mantle]

Well, ModDB listed Crysis Remastered mods under CryEngine 3. I know, maybe not much to go, considering how many mistakes on ModDB listings.

[median wraith]

IndieDB said back in the days I used Minecraft to make a voxel engine in C++ and I needed permission from Notch too

They say a lot of things

Actually was a claim by their ex store

Adn didn't allow me to publish it

[stiff crystal]

me opening Blender 3.0 first time... trying to select camera object by clicking the camera in scene and watching nothing happen.. me saying to myself: "of course it's still like this"

they still fail at very basic things

this has been my blender experience since early blender days

basically... you have to hit closer to the camera objects lines, can't hit the empty space inside it 😄 this for example won't do anything

I can imagine this is one of those "by design" things

[quasi mantle]

I guess I'm blessed by the Blender gods, because it don't happen to me.

[stiff crystal]

I sure hope they finally added multiselect for the file browser

[quasi mantle]

I clicked inside the camera line and it bloody works.

[stiff crystal]

or well, even for scene objects

oh wow, they did fix the scene selection

[quasi mantle]

I know, some people love to blast on Blender just because it's free.

[stiff crystal]

in past you had to draw a shape with some funky lasso tool if you wanted to select first and last object from the scene list

[quasi mantle]

Ain't no match with the expensive big guys.

[stiff crystal]

I don't hate blender

I've given blender a ton of new chances... it's just not very compatible with me

I do admit this does look better now

I don't really judge tools by their price either, I always try free or cheaper tools first before even considering more expensive ones

[quasi mantle]

I guess on my side, it's just habit from trained out of financial hardship, my muscle memory is just so used to Blender (particularly after 2.8)

"Gotta make use the most of what you can have"

[stiff crystal]

I'm actually quite surprised blender got big UX improvements on recent versions, I guess the people in charge have changed in past decade?

I mean I know it's OSS but the key people used to reject even all discussion on UX issues in past

I do like that they do more industry standard operations.. .like that scene selection from list with lasso tool was totally bonkers

only reason for that to exist is... well nothing

they just wanted to do something different I suppose

[quasi mantle]

Safe to say new developers joining in since 2.8 revamp started. They see the potential to make Blender better than ever.
Not to mention Blender got a lot more rigorous battle test compared to other FOSS tools.

[stiff crystal]

is there some way to give more contrast, wider lines to the stock gizmos or something?

I can barely see what's happening here

and I don't now mean "switch to light theme"

because nobody wants to burn their eyes out 😄

my biggest complaint with blender really is that every basic thing I want to do with it, I have to google each step

[quasi mantle]

Use the Maya theme.

[stiff crystal]

ah I found the customization options

just after you sent that

[quasi mantle]

ICYMI

[stiff crystal]

classic 😄

could be some funky thing with steam install, especially since it's symlinked to that folder

[median wraith]

Why is a trend now to insult people on Twitter that wants to port a game to N*Ts ?

Like i see recently a lot of "devs" proud of insult that people

[stiff crystal]

because NFTs are a scam?

oh you meant something else?

[median wraith]

So since is a scam the devs must be proud of insult that people and post it on public ?

I mean the devs yeah

[stiff crystal]

I feel like people today are way more toxic in the internet than in past

[median wraith]

Yeah I have the same feel, it's like the school where the "leaders" finds out some things are funny for others so they keep doing it whatever the morality of it is

[quasi mantle]

I personally don't condone the insult, but yeah, NFTs are largely bullshit. Sounds like one of those things that are too good to be true.

[stiff crystal]

hmmmm... does that theme swapping option actually work for anyone with Steam install?

[quasi mantle]

I use Steam install.

[stiff crystal]

I tried wiping the folder, removed symlink, reinstalled from scratch from Steam and it's still the same error for every theme

🚮

[quasi mantle]

(just because it's convenient to keep Blender up to date)

[stiff crystal]

yeah that's the main reason I have it on steam

I don't normally launch it via steam either

[quasi mantle]

Ask for forgiveness to the Blender gods and thy shall free from the issues

[stiff crystal]

oh wait... this probably requires specific python version to exist on my computer?

it's not the location

[median wraith]

You mean isntall in different folder the games ?

Works for me fine

[stiff crystal]

it's probably something going wrong with python

[median wraith]

by the way, what do you guys use to stream to the TV the PC ?

[stiff crystal]

not sure what the question is?

you want live TV to view on PC, see PC desktop on TV?

yeah it should

I mean it clearly works for the rest of the blender since it's running 😄

it wouldn't even open if it didn't

[median wraith]

The PC desktop on the TV yeah

Not sure how the nvidia thing works

etc

[stiff crystal]

@median wraith that depends a bit on what you want to do with it... I've used nvidia thing with moonlight if you have android device on TV... or for steam games can use the steam's android app

I've also used chromecast app for broadcasting PCVR image to TV on other room

[median wraith]

do the Fire TV can do it ?

[stiff crystal]

firetv only has miracast support

well, I mean it doesn't have chromecast

but you can sideload regular android apps to firetv...

[quasi mantle]

AFAIK, I would hook HDMI out from a PC to a TV, but granted I have no idea how smart TV really works.

[stiff crystal]

so moonlight and steam streaming app both could potentially work there

[quasi mantle]

Who knows if super long HDMI cables are a thing. Probably are.

[stiff crystal]

direct wire will always be best visually... but if you have the PC on different floor or far away, it's not always possible

you can get up to 15m or so with good cables

worse cables start to crap out after 5m length

this depends on your bandwidth too

if you just put 1080p @60, you can get further

[quasi mantle]

What about those HDMI splitters to chain up the cables?

[stiff crystal]

amplification in the middle helps, yes

I have a projector for media use and I've fiddled a lot with longer cables with it because you can't practically put PC at the ceiling :p

you could stuff firetv etc stick there but then there's issue with audio passthrough

so, longer cables it is

btw, I think I found the reason for the blender theme thing

some app has changed my default python path from sys env

why blender gets confused by this is another question

[quasi mantle]

The Blender gods gave you enlightenment

[stiff crystal]

but yeah... this is my typical blender experience... before I even get going, I've done half a dozen google searches

that hasn't changed in a decade

[cursive crypt]

I remember spending a good deal of time making my own theme 🤔

There is even paid plugin to tell you what is the most likely element you need to change under the cursor. However I figured out how it is done, hehe

[quasi mantle]

Wait, there's a paid plugin for that?

[stiff crystal]

playing back with space is BS, I loved the old setup where that opened search - which you need with blender until you remember all shortcuts again

did this change with the industry keymapping setting or did they change the key in general? I think this happened in 2.8 or 2.9

probably need to remap a ton still

[quasi mantle]

salt.

[stiff crystal]

yeah I already swapped to that

[quasi mantle]

Okay, enough bragging rights with the Blender salt, gotta take a sweet sleep.

[stiff crystal]

maya theme didn't really help with the gizmos 😄

F3 just changed the viewport

like, really, do you guys see that line well?

how is it like this by default

[quasi mantle]

Never dealt with lighting that seriously in Blender tbh

[stiff crystal]

also this became way more cryptic with the industry standard option 😄

there's no consistency on the settings

I really like how they did that with blender option

lol

I have to swap each of these?

yeah, this is my typical blender experience 😄

I use modo normally... blender is just a tool I use as backup if I need to open something it doesn't work properly with or have to use some community built importers etc

I'd love to move to blender but it's like constant battle always

yeah I've used 2.4 at least

it was really janky back then, like way worse what I see now

but I see they still can't nail consistency between different options, it's always been kinda weird with blender

you get used to these things for sure

also if you don't know how much less friction other tools may give you, you may just take it as granted that this is the experience you should get 🤔

[stiff crystal]

yeah that does help a bit

it's kinda overdone, would be nice to get something between, at least for the coordinate grid

they also still do this nonsense 😄

I remember trying to find that option for the first time, never did it occur to me that 3 button mouse emulation is just their way to communicate that's how you get industry standard orbit option

yeah used to swap that as first step too

I see they changed the workspace control for removing the extra viewport areas?

had to google this too

"join areas" approach is so blender

it even does the selection totally backwards so you have to actually click on the option you dont want to keep

[dense storm]

TIL you can do this super easy

they do, their mice were great 1st gen, a friend bought like 5 when they stopped produce em

[bronze axle]

I probably wouldn't trust them. 😄

a total of Rs 1,16,00,000 was spent on the construction of the road
I'm not familiar with this form of notation. Is that supposed to be 11.6 million?

[neat sluice]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_numbering_system

1,16,00,000 rupees = 154170.26 US dollars (acc to google)

[regal pecan]

That's an expensive road to be cracking with a coconut.

[night grove]

How long is the road?

[regal pecan]

7 km

so ~15000 / 7000 = ~21 USD per meter.

That kinda shocked me a bit, I thought the Indo- part is referring to Indonesia, but then I remembered you were from India.

[zinc matrix]

Doesn't "Indo" refer to the indian subcontinent though?

Which has me wondering

Why is it called Indonesia?

Huh apparently because greek "india" + "islands"

[cursive crypt]

preach

[quasi mantle]

Well, as native Indonesian, we often shorten Indonesia as "Indo" (sometimes "Indon", but that deemed as derogatory)

[quasi mantle]

Indonesia was formerly called "East Indies" around the time of Netherlands occupations

[zinc matrix]

That's what they called everything south of china pretty much lol

"indochina"

[quasi mantle]

Which also can be related to how many Chinese descendants are in Indonesia right now, with large amount of them being the rich guys owning businesses.

Is it Unreal Engine?
Is it standalone SlateUI?
Is it web-based framework like Electron?

[median wraith]

Is UE4 SlateUI with the web thing too

[mild root]

So, does launcher draw most of its elements with slate, or does it spin up web engine for entire tab, for example a list of stuff on store main page, games list in the library, assets list in unreal launcher tab?

Asking for a buddy, by the way 😏

Hi Guys .. What can i use for Assemble Many parts into one object or actor .
What is the best practice for this thing ? IDEASS

Ohhhhh how i forgot this

Parent Class : Duct Tape

[fallow finch]

No mate i meant i want the idea how to create that on blueprint

Player can place the blueprint of build ( Plan ) on area

for Example Bridge

first they have to build foundations after that
support pillars after that bridge parts etc..

or building bridge part ..
First Shape second metal third concrete fourth asphalt fifth Sidewalk but the players go on this step by step

So yeah sounds there is no other than collision checks 😋

Does it effect performance ? I havent do alot of overlap

Big F

Yupe i can make Active when the their level is Active

Like when foundation built will activate next stage of building

I will check both and see which one is better

For that system

Interesting fact. Adobe is a type of mudbrick, often including manure as its organic binding material. So adobe loosely means shitbrick 😂 Awesome

why is there glass in front of all the paintings? 😆

everything else is impressive, so that was quite jarring...

[unborn lotus]

oh yeah that is unusual

[zinc matrix]

I don't see glass here

I feel like this isn't the first time I see someone brigade on YouTube dislikes with links to extensions

This just felt spammy now.

[quasi mantle]

Damnit
I said clean just the project binaries, but it went ahead wipe the entire engine binaries.
"Clean Only" seem to mean clean the entire solution
Ugh, ngl, I kinda hate making engine modifications

Guess I'm going to do nothing tomorrow. I hate myself.

[tulip orbit]

I tried coding yesterday, but as soon as I opened VS, my brain shut off for the day 😦

Hi everyone!
I'm Alejandra Ramirez - Resources Manager at Shapes + Forms: Studio Located in LA. We are looking for some Unreal Environment artists for a really cool project. Where I can post this request?

Thank you and Happy Monday!

Very interested to see what this is. I'm guessing it'll be a short game / playable tech demo for UE5.

Speaking of The Matrix: https://youtu.be/nNpvWBuTfrc

I like how Epic added a dot of dandruff to pretend it is real

[cursive crypt]

The moment I was thinking that the dude is getting old, then realizing, I'm also getting old.

console peasants when you have xbox one x and not series console

[quasi mantle]

As if Cyberpunk 2077 didn't have Keanu Reeves in game form enough already.

Come on, Keanu, you already co-written Cyberpunk 2077 and basically turning it into your self insert fest

[quasi mantle]

Lest we forget Abandoned Real-time Experience

Which by the looks of it, seem to be actually abandoned

[bronze axle]

I certainly trust Epic to deliver an "experience" over Blue Box.

[quasi mantle]

It's a crapfest of teasing Metal Gear and Silent Hill fans lol

[bronze axle]

Anyway, the new movie looks good. I'm cautiously optimistic.

[cursive crypt]

"cautiously optimistic" lol

Matrix is one of those must-watch movies tho. doesnt matter it came out a while ago now

my sis just got her kids (10-) to watch it the other day cause she made a "glitch in the matrix" comment and my niece went "wuh?"

[cursive crypt]

Good sis you have, but I can imagine youngsters kinda going "meh" that old.

Woo, got it so I can set a few default variables on vehicle spawn, but now I need it to take those values and set the vehiclemovementcomponent values prior to it creating the physics async data

what about Animatrix

[soft night]

did you know ROG products have AniMe matrix displays

[foggy path]

lolwut

[cursive crypt]

weebs

[quasi mantle]

wtf

For real?

[bronze axle]

It's just the name of their tech for showing dot matrix graphics on the outside of the laptop.

[soft night]

it is also in they new headset too and motherboards

[quasi mantle]

Oh, okay then, but what if one could put greyscale anime picture as the display? That'd be epic

[soft night]

Rog Delta S animate

[quasi mantle]

IIRC it's not a full display, so I might lose hope

[bronze axle]

This model has it. https://rog.asus.com/us/laptops/rog-zephyrus/rog-zephyrus-g14-series/

You can make it display custom images.

This tweet brought to you by my new and amazing @ORIGINPC rig.

Specs and a cool video coming soon.

Last night I was finally able to configure my character's genitals in Cyberpunk 2077. Feels good to be getting back into PC gaming.

His tweets seem to be popping up a lot on twitter recently for saying weird things lol

[bronze axle]

Sounds more like he's becoming a YouTuber.

[foggy path]

I'll believe that when he shills Raid

[quasi mantle]

Heard he's about to supervising on newer Gears games?

[quasi mantle]

Welp, probably won't get much anime clarity with that pixel density...

I wonder if the new matrix will be any good

im not even sure i finished the last matrix

I was like... what is this crap

from all the famous actors from back them maybe is one of these that isn't that old or affected as others

As bad as accidently restarting the pc instead of shutting down

[deep glen]

^ worst thing ever (pc-wise)

[zinc matrix]

Please no I just wanted to go to bed, why must the options be right next to eachother

[last matrix]

if you press alt+ctrl+del as fast as you can, you can cancel the restart 😛

[drifting quest]

wuhhh

Or unplug the PC, that works too 😎

man they always give things you own

[cursive crypt]

Eeh, this makes me feel better. I burned only with one.

It is nice to know that there are ppl worse than you.

[median wraith]

I got a pack from these in Humble Bundle

still didn't tried it

[tulip orbit]

crashed trying to get to the marketplace again.

Haha success tho! I can modify my engine settings of my chaos vehicle at runtime

[tulip orbit]

who taught you how to cut a pizza!?!

you dont cut it to an H, even cuts like a pie chart

[real palm]

Maybe that's how you cut a pizza. I make mine into a big spiral and just eat the entire thing like a fruit roll up

[tulip orbit]

https://i.imgur.com/Zo4STHJ.jpg

[last matrix]

people out there are cutting their pizzas?

[rugged jetty]

Oh yea I remember these

I used to be so weak

That I had to get other to do it for me

At least the bigger ones

[cursive crypt]

Turtle ninjas taught me how to cut pizza. And to put a lot of cheese.

[unborn lotus]

And a lot of pineapple!

[tulip orbit]

and that you're legally allowed to kill someone who orders a pizza with sardines on it

[night grove]

Seems I always have to cut my pizza because the pizza place is using plastic cutting utensils or something.

[cursive crypt]

I feel like that about an anchovy pizza. Never tasted good, always salty af.

[tulip orbit]

er oh yeah, I meant anchovy, but both are gross

[cursive crypt]

high-five

[last matrix]

yeah, no place for anchovies on my salmon pizza

[tulip orbit]

or my caviar and octopus pizza

Starfish pizza. It restores itself.

definitely not for my pumkin and pepperoni pie

[night grove]

But do you crack a raw egg on your pizza and serve dill pickles on the side?

[last matrix]

shouldnt eat raw egg dawg

should be drinking that in a cup

[night grove]

It's a Korean thing. Was so weird eating pizza there.

[last matrix]

sounds pretty good though

[night grove]

They also put corn on pizza

Sounds weird, but is actually awesome

Kinda like onion, becomes sweet when cooked.

[last matrix]

ah, those Koreans and their corn, they'll work it into every meal

bulgogi and corn

[night grove]

Yes!

[last matrix]

dimsum and corn

gaming and corn

[night grove]

Now I need to eat bulgogi 😦

[last matrix]

yeah, i shouldnt have said it, i want some too

with a raw egg and pickled jalepenos
