dark sequoia
#

MMD physics was a complete pain in the ass though, honestly

deep copper
#

must've been a tough fight

dark sequoia
#

like holy shit was it hard to get right, especially the clothing

quasi mantle
dark sequoia
#

and even after all that time, i never did get it quite right. from what I see so far UE4 is gonna be much much better yeah

quasi mantle
#

Though the setup for Anim Dynamics is kinda confusing

dark sequoia
#

well ive messed with pretty confusing setups in UE4 before

#

and alot of it in Anim BPs too

quasi mantle
#

Kawaii Physics is much simpler, but there's some oddities in slow motion

dark sequoia
#

ah interesting

#

i prolly wont rely on it entirely since I would want to create stuff that doesnt rely on other plugins for it to work (as mentioned in DMs)

#

thankfully i found different ways to do what I want anyway, for physics

quasi mantle
#

Well, I think Physics Assets would be easier to setup

But I don't think the parameters are controllable via BP (e.g. controlling jiggle physics depending on outfit)

dark sequoia
#

what do you mean? you mean like the amount of physics/movement it has?

quasi mantle
dark sequoia
#

ah well thats fine, at least for Mio, since every outfit type she has is pretty much synced when it comes to the weights and physics

#

so it wont need to change anyway, when changing looks

#

although not realistic of course, but o well

#

although she does have two types of hair styles, that one may require two different characters, not sure yet

#

cause they would both need their own type of physics

quasi mantle
#

Alrighty then
Also in my fork of Unreal Engine, I have a prebuilt version of the modified 4.27, minus the gameplay related plugins (as it's intended for editor only and machinima making). Feel free to use those for testing, though UE Marketplace require vanilla builds.

dark sequoia
#

ah interesting

quasi mantle
#

The modified 4.27 has anime shading model and the super epic lens flare (and revamped bloom)

dark sequoia
#

oh nice

#

i'll keep that in mind, thank you

#

example of what I mean (also she has magic familiar ears and tail too, lol)

#

open coat version, heh

#

some of those parts (as I had briefly shown earlier) are located far beneath her basically, which allows her structure to be changed using morph sliders... that includes their own set of physics too

#

a very elaborate and complex setup compared to most MMD models, basically

quasi mantle
#

And could be an interesting setup in UE4

dark sequoia
#

for UE4 Im not sure if that same technique would work, at least not exactly, but I definitely could come up with a replacement I am sure

quasi mantle
#

I'm a huge sucker for those also because of the technicality, not restricted to realism

dark sequoia
#

yeah and also it results in some nice side effects

#

it switches instantly (if going from 0 to 1), but the physics remain

#

for example when switching to her ears, they have a "plop" look to it as a result when appearing

#

hard to explain but it is cute basically, and matches the source content lol

quasi mantle
dark sequoia
#

i used to have a gif somewhere of it but cant find haha

quasi mantle
#

Though I think standard animation setup would suffice for that, probably just a matter of mixing the realtime physics

dark sequoia
#

yah

#

only example of motion I can show (at least without recording myself) is this one. not many people made vids of her, but at least one Japanese fan did which makes me happy heh

#

no YT example, sry

father trucker, I finally finished that pokguy universal de/serializer for Bethesda games via XML. Why is this important to me? Well, Starfield is around the corner, and I already finished my Fallout 4 to Unreal Engine 5 automatic map porting tests a while back, and I wanted to be ready with Starfield, when it comes out, just in case. I mean, this is a niche thing that matters only to me, it's still nice to be done with it...Credits to xEdit peeps though, I just piggyback on their work primarily, it sucks they're using Pascal, I'm a C++/C# pokguy.

#

Someone made me a gift of 3 bottles of homemade wine, not stabilized.
It is fantastic. However, I'm not much of a drinker so I need time to process that queue.

tulip orbit
#

I've been gifted homemade wine a few times, they've never been very good

cursive crypt
#

lol, yeah, homemade stuff is a lottery.

#

However, some people around have long standing tradition to keep up with.

quasi mantle
#

Local ones were less lucky, there were lots of horror stories of homebrew liquors killed lots of people in short amount of time

#

And then finding proper liquors were difficult without daunting extra steps, even though I'm past legal drinking age of 21.

cursive crypt
#

Occasionally, I hear for similar issues with homemade spirit, but... it is rare.

dark sequoia
#

woof woof

quasi mantle
#

Drinking liquor isn't necessarily punishable by law, but I'm sure local homebrewers had very subpar tools, ingredients and know how, thus death by those is more common

dark sequoia
#

sorry to interrupt, I had a question @quasi mantle but how does that Auto-Rig plugin compare to other plugins like Rigify? If you happen to know that is

quasi mantle
#

And by local, I mean in my country.

dark sequoia
#

cause I just remembered I had that plugin installed

quasi mantle
dark sequoia
#

I see

quasi mantle
dark sequoia
#

if i recall right, I think I was using it to rig models for gmod a very long time ago heh

#

is there any way to use the weight mapping that ive already done, but for a new armature though? i'd say thats the main concern

#

cause even with an addon, it still means i'd have to start over and i wanted to prevent that if I can (just need to move, merge, and/or rename bones mostly)

quasi mantle
#

That's what I did for breast bones in my character

dark sequoia
#

oh I see, so basically use a duplicate to create the bone structure itself and then revert the mesh?

#

good idea, cause thats what I was thinking of doing anyway but wasnt sure haha

#

that was a technique I used often for when I initially was making the model and would have to replace bones/parts and stuff sometimes

deep copper
dark sequoia
#

just as a test, I brought Mio into UE4 with her current armature just to test the vertex morphs and yah no issues thankfully

#

still gotta setup her materials though, so none atm heh

quasi mantle
#

😏

dark sequoia
#

and yeah all the morphs work perfectly

verbal junco
dark sequoia
#

lol

quasi mantle
dark sequoia
#

well one thing I need to definitely fix is how she has like.... 134 material slots... lmfao

quasi mantle
#

Excuse me wtf

#

That's way too much

dark sequoia
#

indeed it is

verbal junco
#

if that's because of the blender plugin just remember to make all the materials the same material

#

or only change material where you need to

#

there is the bright color method

dark sequoia
#

nah it wasnt due to that, that actually is how her model is normally. it was for MMD related reasons, hard to explain, which works fine for how MMD is. but definitely not a good idea for UE4. so i need to redo all that

quasi mantle
#

Of all the times I tried bringing MMD models to UE4 (mostly TDA ones), I never encounter material slot being that high

verbal junco
#

what is mmd

#

massive multiplayer development?

quasi mantle
#

Usually they're within less than 32

dark sequoia
#

well thats due to how many material slots she actually has, so it wasnt an error

quasi mantle
dark sequoia
#

also yeah that ^

quasi mantle
#

Basically machinima creator

dark sequoia
#

oh yeah i remember now, its because of material morphs and having them function in different ways

quasi mantle
#

It was mostly weeb shit so you're not missing out much

dark sequoia
#

which required having that many

#

but that wont need to be the case for UE4, thankfully

quasi mantle
dark sequoia
#

yeah definitely for UE4

quasi mantle
#

In UE4, shaders reign supreme, unlike MMD.

dark sequoia
#

although when I was making for MMD, I had to do it that way for many reasons. and i hated how I had to but i couldnt get around it with what I was doing at the time sadly

verbal junco
dark sequoia
#

lol

deep copper
#

detECtive

quasi mantle
dark sequoia
#

lol yeah

#

as for the morph targets, she has a couple hundred of those as well, and they seem to all work which is fantastic lol

#

i may end up removing a chunk of them though, depending, we'll see

quasi mantle
#

Also one of my gripe with continuing MMD to UE4 tutorial is how less standard the rigging were.

dark sequoia
#

oh?

quasi mantle
quasi mantle
# dark sequoia oh?

I mean, some models would have different naming convention, bone structures, and whatnot, some of them would even differ completely from the more common ones

dark sequoia
#

most of them are facial expressions, but some were meant to be matched alongside material related morphs yeah (aka, group morphs within MMD itself). which will likely be the ones I change/remove

#

and I see, i think i get it

#

yeah when I made my Mio model, I made sure to have it be based on the most commonly used bones and stuff since the names dictate the animations within MMD itself, for saving/loading them

#

which is both a cool feature, at least on the surface, but also annoying at the same time for animations that used different bone names

quasi mantle
#

I guess it's because MMD being unprofessional at all, there's no standardisation going on with how the rig should be built

dark sequoia
#

pretty much yeah

#

as a result, I had to dissect and take a part a ton of other people's MMD models, and even the rigging itself, just so I can find out how to structure my own lol

#

since most of that stuff didnt exist in any guidelines anywhere

#

oh yeah, same with trying to get the IK bones to work within MMD

dark sequoia
#

lulz

verbal junco
#

something about the road to hell being paved with good intentions

quasi mantle
dark sequoia
#

yeah even without starting I already know it would be a pain to just convert the rig which is why i'd rather go with replacing her rig instead

#

plus it means her being compatible with the UE4 rig and animations of course

quasi mantle
dark sequoia
#

although on the flip side of things... I also know how to bring MMD animations to Blender, and then UE4... and I have more experience making animations in MMD compared to Blender. so not sure how that'll go later on

quasi mantle
dark sequoia
#

i tried animating before in Blender and yeah i didnt like it tbh... nor the controls and interface

#

oh?

#

oh yeah thats true

quasi mantle
dark sequoia
#

i'd have to look into that cause yeah I never tried that stuff before

#

and couldnt find any guides on that either, unless I wasnt using the proper terms heh

#

cause at one point, when first learning UE4, I was trying to see if there was a way to make animations and stuff within UE4 itself but i could only find guides for importing motions and editing them, retargeting, and so on, but thats it

#

but now I am guessing it was Control Rig I was supposed to look into, basically

burnt lake
quasi mantle
dark sequoia
#

oh I see

quasi mantle
#

It's powerful with what you can do with it, though it lacks proper constraint setup (which is useful for animating weapon socket bones or holding object)

dark sequoia
#

ah, interesting

#

what do you mean by animating those? cause arent those sockets just for the object to latch onto?

#

and then the parent bone moves, and it moves along with it, etc

quasi mantle
dark sequoia
#

hmm, interesting I see

#

cause yeah thats how I often see it done which is to just connect/parent them (such as the hands for weapons, or heads for hats, and so on)

#

id have to look into that later and see examples in action to understand a bit better of what you mean, I admit lol

There is this pizza place, they win the dough tossing awards/competitions regularly. The main guy the restaurant is named after developed celiacs and can’t toss anymore, but he converted his entire operation to gluten free, and rice based dough is pretty good and crunchy imo

and I buy different types of bread or bakery type products

Bakewell tarts are nice.

I grew up around sourdough

so it's standard for me

#

this is the qustion I'm asking

fleet tangle
#

The icing and the cherry. I'm not too much of a fan of the almond flavour.

#

But it's acceptable.

verbal junco
#

I want to posit that the frangipane is key, and that other elements are replaceable

#

oh

#

I see

fleet tangle
#

Frangipane?

verbal junco
#

the marcipane

#

almond

#

what have you

fleet tangle
#

Ah that. Yeah. I really don't like marzipan.

verbal junco
#

I'm a huge fan personally, which is why they stand out to me

fleet tangle
#

Fair enough!

#

Now, if it were based on hazelnuts, I'd probably eat that shit all day.

verbal junco
#

I initially had no interest until I found out they were almond based

#

hmm

#

it might be worth trying an almond and a praline based perhaps

fleet tangle
#

I love praline stuff!

verbal junco
#

my initial thought was to combine the frangipane with coconut

fleet tangle
#

I can see that working.

verbal junco
#

the weird thing is that the way that the almond works in a bakewell almost gives it the same sort of flavor as you find in sweet licorice, especially licorice that has been combined with coconut

#

so that will be my next point of exploration

#

but I will take the suggestion of praline into consideration

#

it could make for an interesting flavor

my days the colorado mission from hitman s1 is tedious

or maybe I'm making it tedious

dark sequoia

nah, that mission is often the most hated one for Hitman 1

#

im fine with it personally, but I can understand why others dont like it compared to other levels

signal citrus
#

Are you just starting it?

#

I enjoy the start of that mission but ||the end of it drags on and is not really clear on progression and stuff||

dark sequoia
#

its basically an "Absolution" type level

#

since many missions in Absolution were like that Colorado one, if I recall right lol

signal citrus
#

Marakesh is the most memorable one imo

dark sequoia
#

although its a very cool map when doing the sniper mode version of it

signal citrus
#

For me the worst level of the new trilogy is easily ||the train at the end||

dark sequoia
#

Yeah I havent played Hitman 3 yet but ive watched a handful of playthrough, and while that mission definitely seems cool it also is a disappointment for obvious reasons too. It should have been a mission with two sections or something

#

also overall fewer missions to begin with

signal citrus
#

I purposely played each level of hitman two and three like I did waiting for each level in hitman to come out

#

And ||if that train level was in hitman 2016 it would have been the end of that series right there imo||

dark sequoia

the secret alternate ending is a cool touch though, for fans of the classic games

also congrats

I mean I've done SO on my first run for every mission so far

I'm not about to let up

but increasingly it feels like I have take out more and more people

#

whereas I prefer leaving everyone intact

dark sequoia
#

One of my fav things to do was to create my own contracts that literally require you to complete it, as Silent Assassin, within a few seconds lmao

and then see if people can figure it out

fair enough

#

I have issues with the AI in general

#

it feels like some AI have eyes in the back of their head

dark sequoia
#

yeah I know what you mean

#

it was way worse in the classic games though, haha

verbal junco
#

I don't recall that

#

but it's been a while

dark sequoia
#

if you didnt move or walk a proper way, or moved too quickly, then they get angry

verbal junco
#

ah yeah that's true

dark sequoia
#

in Hitman II and Hitman Contracts

verbal junco
#

but they wouldn't spot you from behind

dark sequoia
#

ah, true

verbal junco
#

I'd be fine with them spotting me if I behaved awkward

#

but this business with them somehow getting a stray look at me when I'm directly behind them is tedious

dark sequoia
#

Hitman II in particular actually had a bug where if you looked at the wall and not towards AI then they would ignore you more often than if you looked at them. But then again maybe it was intentional not sure

verbal junco
#

maybe

#

early hitman games had a lot of camera problems

dark sequoia
#

also if you tap the run button, in both those games, you wouldnt do any steps... meaning you slide around but at normal running speed and it would not attract any attention because no sound

verbal junco
#

also interestingly hidden valley in hitman 2 was the most memorable level in that game for me

dark sequoia
#

yeah I remember that heh

#

it has alot of memorable levels

verbal junco
#

but I don't know if that's because I found an easter egg

dark sequoia
#

I remember it due to how tedious it was

verbal junco
#

it certainly was on my replay

#

a few years back

#

but the first time I played it

timber viper
verbal junco
#

I managed to kill every ninja while being in full stealth

#

as a consequence I got the ||Master Ninja|| title

and how a random guy can get run over by the truck in one of those levels, which would ruin the ranking. and that it was random chance lol

verbal junco
#

hitman 1, 2

dark sequoia
#

1, 2, and 3 yah (contracts being 3, back then)

verbal junco
#

I never played contracts

#

only blood money

#

I still hold that a vintage year is the best hitman level of all time

dark sequoia
#

its basically a "remake" of Hitman Codename 47, but in the form of flashbacks and some new levels added

verbal junco
#

I see

dark sequoia
#

and it actually takes place directly after Blood Money's first mission (paris), timeline wise

verbal junco
#

blood money's first level was the boardwalk

dark sequoia
#

oh yeah tru, well the first mission after the tutorial one i meant

verbal junco
#

which I also loathed

#

by paris did you mean the theater level?

dark sequoia
#

yeah i cant remember if it was in paris or not but it was definitely in france

#

and yeah it was the opera

#

47 gets shot by someone who recognizes him after that, off-screen, which is what leads to the plot of Contracts and him being wounded having flashbacks

verbal junco
#

I vaguely recall people raving about it at the time because you could shoot the dude and one of the theater guys would be framed

dark sequoia
#

lmao yeah, that was a cool thing at the time

verbal junco
#

it was interesting but it was a bit overblown and the hoops you had to jump through were too many

left granite
verbal junco
#

that's actually my main gripe

#

too many hoops

#

too many AI

#

too much

dark sequoia
#

yeah every Hitman game seems to have at least one thing wrong with it, give or take

usually with AI

although I did enjoy SO runs in sapienza and marrakesh

yeah I really liked that one

pretty much all the trailers and gameplay vids for Absolution was great, but sadly not so much for the game itself lol

it's a bit too fetishistic

timber viper

I dont remember exactly but when I first played it I guess I wasnt even at high school so I was liked it a lot

dark sequoia

although i still say it was at least decent and fun to play through at least once

timber viper
verbal junco
#

I'm reminded of Bison's dolls from street fighter

dark sequoia

and also it was the first game to introduce Contracts mode, so theres that going for it

Hitman 2's spy mission was also nice

I enjoyed being a gardener and exploding the garden

could we uh

no prob, yee

verbal junco
#

non season hitman 2 I think my favorite mission was the petronas tower one

dark sequoia

also the sniper mission was another thing introduced in Absolution first as well, funny enough, but it was a standalone game install (it may have even been free, now that I think about it)

dark sequoia

yeah it was you being positioned and sniping, staying in one spot

if you complete it, it allowed you to unlock a gun in the main game or something

hey anyone know anything about adrenaline/stress reactions?

#

i want to know if my reaction to danger is normal. i watched a video of this south african security van under attack from armed robbers. someone commented about the guys breathing. he managed to evade and escape. but what caught my attention was the comment about the guys breathing. he said he knows what hes doing, his breaths were long and deep. thats exactly how i react to that sort of stress (not getting shot at of course, ive never had that happen to me). but if i was driving the canyon in MT and had to pass a semi on a long interstate curve in inclimate weather, thats the sort of thing that i do. my breathing goes long and deep and i focus on the road. i just wonder why im like this with physical danger but not more mundane things like talking to certain individuals or dealing with authority figures.

#

it seems to me one cant be good at both situations but i also feel it can be learned.

#

anyone?
