ok lets assume you're a game designer
Wai
no
bhecause "phrefer nhot tho dhisclose ✅"
which you are in a way
Tim can we use the game room since you're not using it?
how hard was it for you to get a job in a game company?
sure, just return it afterwards. I disabled build mode in the room btw
cause I have a feeling like its very hard
very
the more you network and make your name known in communities, the easier it gets.
...but I wanted to make Gunpla and Warhammer stuff
only if you're cool like some people named Luos
Im not too trilled to have a boss
only because I networked my arse off :p
using replication or RPC?
I mean I got my first game dev job through network as well
Become your own boss. Then work like you are possessed by an angry spirit. Then pitch the fruits of that labor to investors like crazy.
I couldnt help it and I went ahead and implemented the same icon joke to my server as well, and many people were both upset and amused by it soon enough lol. but yee nice work on it and funny idea :p
...but i wanted to make a 4th person pokemon gta mmorp battleroyale with minecraft building VR with metahumans and hyper realistic graphics
can someone give youtube tutorial on how to make this?
then realize nobody wants to buy your execution due to lack of experience
then go home and cry yourself to sleep
😔
5th person games are where it's at... UE69 exclussive
please a short video though, i don't have a long time to do this
192.168. 123.132
would like to be done by 8pm
It's very hard
why
can we please have a special discord channel we can refer people who want stuff like this done to?
will it also have NFTs?
it's called #lounge
yes, it's called send them to reddit r/gameideas
thankfully I've not seen any here 🙏
dms of manny works
[REDACTED FOR TRADE SECRET]
This has been the case so far. But I keep working on it anyway 😉
I think that's the opposite of what we want
make me 🍴 cpp only I'll pay you $20, my teacher needs me to turn it in an hour ago
server of quinn?
???????????????????????
??????
¿¿¿¿
one question mark is never enough
hola, como estas
❗
uhh bonjour
I'm onto you
play the overused MGS alert sound
even my teacher said its very hard
why not into?
your teacher is right. if they weren't they'd be working in the games industry 😂
can you explain to me why its hard
supply and demand
and standards increasing every year
so its not based on competition
I mean that's what supply and demand is
the body vapourised
I worked as a QA game tester for 2 years should I do that instead?
*The Eye vapourised
sure if you enjoy it
because to be honest
I dont think ill be able to get a job in game design
but I love making games
so It could be like a hobby
you need a different mentality to become a designer than just being a QA
you can try #career-chat for in-depth and hopefully very serious answers
yeah i want to make content too, but i really dont plan (nor expect) to work at a company... and one of the reasons is simply due to my location, but other reasons too
As cool as making games is, there's still greener pastures in the moment
QA is very formulaic work. you find something, you write a report, you hand it over and test it when it's resolved
however you dont have to really make a "game" and can instead stick with creating assets for a time
game design is the opposite
and worry about developing games at a later point. at least imo
I graduate in a year so I need to get my shit together and pratice stuff and make a serious game in Unreal during the summer for my portfolio
it depends on what you want to make, the complexity
You can still work as something unrelated to game dev at all, and work on making games yourself on the side
Though your mileage may vary
you don't need a finished game in your portfolio, but you need to showcase some good enough work that demonstrates that you can fulfill the responsibilities of the role you are applying for
which game engines do most game companies use?
but for a job perspective, stuff is about "be prepared to handle everything in your role"
I like rocks.
There's no statistics on this (that I'm aware of)
i like you
im in a sorta similar situation where I need to start makin' shit relatively soon to sell on the marketplace, preferably within this year. but yeah we'll see what happens..
you're not going to find a uniform answer to questions like these
I wanna design 3D environments
don't encourage them!!11
Then learn modelling
10 vbucks for him.
so you want to do art?
I like that show
Not really
then you're not looking to apply as a game designer. but as an environment artist. the first step you should be looking at finding out what role you want to apply as. and then look at what other people are doing
environment art is one of the most competitive fields
art in general is, but environment art especially
so the bar is set high
so is it easier to find a job in game designing?
None the easier.
if you fulfill the requirements, yes. but you really need a good head on your shoulders to do design in general
ok I think I need to take a look at job posts to see what most of them require
thanks for the info guys
also generally you should focus on one role
ya Im all over the place rn
so if you like doing 3d environments more than doing design you should still try for that, rather than just trying to get into the industry just because you want to get into the industry
everything is fun
be generalist enough that you can properly communicate to other people, be specialist enough that you can actually fill a role and big efficient and productive at it.
Im doing blueprint programming in unreal , 3D designs , texturing , modelling
I gotta set for something
Indies have generalists out of necessity
settle for what you want to do
pick a role, see what the requirements are, see how that fits into what you like to do
yeah of course it also helps to have knowledge of creating stuff before releasing stuff, heh...
as well as a goal in mind, plans/ideas, etc
I got a check list somewhere. It's in my post it notes pile.
Oh man, having the notification that's baked into the server icon go away when you hover over it was a work of genius. Bravo to whoever came up with that
In that case Kor is a genius ^.^
Though it sounds as though they might've seen it done somewhere else
Also to think about it, Far Eastern has 2 days of April Fools, because the west is catching up with the time
Designed for totally new users and beta testers: learn the essential features of plasticity in 13 minutes. nick@plasticity.xyz
everybody use this tool.
its the future of modelling
sleeps in Blender
yeah blender.
the wannabe one.
its trying hard... to have good features... fails tho 😄
If it works for me, are you going to blast on me for that?
I already quit smoking, but okay mom
Are you my mother? Because she judges a lot.
:<
That's been confusing me all day, so yeah bravo to who came up with that idea
rule 6 #rules , treat everyone like a "bossy mommy", so yeah, they are
Posting GIFs like how my mother would, how fitting
(obviously not actually in english but close enough)
Not sure of the best place to ask this but for some reason I have a permanent "unread" notification on this server. I've left the server and rejoined and it's still showing up. What's weird is it goes away when i mouse over the server icon and there's nothing that's unread. Anyone ever see something like that?
Oh FFS
oh
Lol
have you checked all channels?
yeah, definitely a bug
no way i just fell for the server pfp again
i fell for you

Ah, April Fool's Day.
What can I say: my moderators are cruel love you all very much.
they do love us so SO much!
Did you guys see what Epic did?
the video?
oh yeah, i think someone posted this a while back
though i am not sure what it's about
you are amazing <3
shelfcare games sounds like a winner.
"healthcare"??!
but I enjoyed the little trolling today.
Yo is this this new Fortnite game mode? :pogU:
so many sounds in that forest
Nice username. 😂
Maybe I should try on a silly username.
April Fools Special ™️
oh? curious about what pfist comes up with
chromatic would love that
hahaha
Also settled on the username because some people here call me Hoodie (because of my alias)
they should call you "the"
Yeah it's a good fit.
pfist would become pfi
i would become aff -_-
😂
Have you ever seen so many triangles?
I think I have a few notifications on discord
No way.
That's basically romance in a nutshell
You'll never know who is secretly in love with you
This isn't noise.
Sus
Ruined.
is there a little trolling going on today with the notifies?
Until the day it is too late
Dunno, Discord bugs.
okay
Unrequited Love
Jeez, that sentence brought back some memories
Wait I've got a better one.
That is pure evil
There we go.
@deep glen your hoodie become sentient 😮
Well, when your own makes Unreal Engine, that's bound to happen.
I just make sure he's comfortable while he programs.

Mushrooms releasing their spores. Video by Villarreal Jojo. https://t.co/5YgxMWHymz
👀
puts on @bronze axle
All is right in the metaverse.
@bronze axle actually, metasounds also work with mushrooms
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-nIBA0V_No
Through the use of bio data sonification and a eurorack synthesizer we are able to listen in as two blocks of oyster mushrooms talk for perhaps the first time. This is the first time they have ever touched, but as you can see even when I pull them apart at the end of the video they are still able to pass a small amount of signal through grow bag...
and looking at those wires, so do blueprints XD
he has some really cool vids with that.
When musicians are secretly electrical engineers
wow that is like 350 megabytes of VST
Ah I remember Omnisphere. Haven't used it in ages.
ok VST logic without samples
I was going to say, my VST library is almost 1 TB.
i like simple oscillators
I use very lightweight synths most of the time, but some of the instruments I use have massive sample libraries underneath the hood.
I think the pro version of BBC Symphony Orchestra is around 1 TB in size
The free version is about 200 MB but obviously less control to the instrument
Can't really imagine having VSTs that large lol
for a second i thought luos become admin
🫂
I want to make a nice simple synth with MetaSounds.
🥺
how are you doing ?
wishing UE5 is released to i can put my garden into the chaos explosion thing and explode it a few times
that's quite mind blowing
my head no
actually it is fool day
i love my plants
stay away creeper
its in everyone's best interest if Luos does not become an admin XD
the more you push me away the more i want to get closer !
I'll take your word for it Mr. Sweeney.
i mean, i don't find it that unbelievable
for you to be admin
you are orange after all
that is not how love works for me
it's okay ! it's okay !! dw
how's your cycling coming along?
low, i am keeping at 1 or 2 times per week
i am trying to relax and not trying to stop game dev. at all
ohh
at least i can work like 2 to 3 hours per day without stressing
that sounds like a good healthy amount
healthy would be waster my life researching hydroponic / aeroponic technology
but i am not much a humanitarian
i just want to ride my bike
That's fine, enjoyment is more important

yes it's amazing
that's one of the reasons to look forward to sleeping
or the only reason idk
you are amazing <3
i have heard bases can neutralize that
eat a soap..? though i have heard that's not good and deadly
i was at day 2 streak of peanut butter and bananas and chia seeds
today would be the third in a row but i broke the diet with beans
but i do not eat soap, that is gross
it's nice to have a good variety
i think i eaten too much bananas
there is 2 little mosquitoes of it in my room
and i do not eat in my room
i hope they are enjoying calypso funk
because that is what is rolling on the speaker box
guys what's the notification?
i got a ping
jk i know it's an image. teehee teehee.
that tweet gave me booger cancer
(which doesnt exist, so that means I can get away with it lawl)
wut..
actually i think I get what the article is, but the title makes it sound as if its for eating the boogers
lmao..
cause yeah they block out dust and all that, etc
!8ball will mods remove the ping joke today?
@timber viper, :8ball: Don't count on it.

lol
lmao
Manny is in on it.

I'm unsubscribing from that YouTube channel right now! That cat/human swap upsets me so much! :( It's already April 2nd for a portion of the world, why won't they switch the human back already?!?!? This is NOT funny!
Unity Slackers™️ when
coughs blood
I only used Unity for two hours so I can't hate it yet
i never tried
This might just be an awkward conversation, but is the notification icon in the discord server here an April Fool's joke, or can I seriously not find the channel with the mention?
it seems almost nobody knows about discord's inbox feature if they search for the notification so much lol
Not the first time someone has told me either. Thank you for the reminder zomg XD
dam i fell for it hard
anyone use powertoy's Fancy zones with Unreal?
hugs @azure chasm
I love the inbox and use it daily. Can't imagine living without it.
oohh nice
It's a life saver, especially if you're in several active servers.
lol
There's an inferior version on mobile called Recent Mentions.
It doesn't have unreads, only mentions, and sometimes it crashes the app for me. 😦
Gotta love that. The unexpected, but super useful, extra quit feature!
on mobile its apparently overlapped over eachother, but sadly not on PC haha
i definitely have a relationship with bot mee6
i never saw this icon on discord before
i honestly always forget that even exists
It's the first thing I check on Discord every day.
i wish one day i can check this as first thing
one day i will make friends and not brothers
then again i have all server notifications muted except for one server, so i really never needed to click it
That's just cheating.
ue slackers #lounge?
nope, my own server is the one unmuted
can i add Manny if i create a server?
also you'd have to ask the owners here, if you're serious haha
cause i have no idea
To be fair, I think the correct wording here was "can I".
i guess its hard to tell through text rather than voice, depending
you should work on your game
i only really update things once they break
well im not technically working on a game :p
ah, so you should start on a game
why are you in Slackers babe?
in the future
but for now, im sticking with asset creation
and game design experimentation with Blueprints
cheers
and 3D modeling, etc
idk if will be a dumb move of mine
but i will keep using blender until ue5 is released
my UE4 project is basically just for screwing around and seeing what im capable of, as well as a place for testing assets and all that
and yeah I use Blender as well
and i may wait for godot4
You do know waiting for godot is like a meme
in some ways it seems more like I am playing a highly advanced version of Gmod, rather than UE4 lol
I keep thinking of Gal Godot.
thats how I treat it anyway
it is a book!
actually a theatre piece
Something something, creator of the engine named it that BECAUSE of the skit
lol same
yeah
the piece is actually dark
if the logo was non symmetrical would be a non brainer
because then i would combo all asymmetric logos
debian + blender + gimp + godot
i should also remember that i play the fool days every day
oh yeah and for art and graphics, I personally use Clip Studio Paint
oh, i really wanted but i fear someone taking my stuff for building a violent / competitive one
FOSS?
Free and Open Source Software
Flossing?
Acronym used frequently in the crowd preferring the open alternatives to overly-capitalistic software.
i mean, they can sell stuff anyway
That's such a loaded sentence.
It's also far too long.
so that is why we should make standard and no one needs to add floss
Yes, Chromatic.
Clip Studio Paint very good for drawing anime art :3
I may have worded in a bit more edgy format than was needed....
Just a bit. 😛
Wasn't sure how else to portray the "rawr capitalism bad" expressed by some that prefer open source software
That was my problem with it, tbh. You're sticking political agendas into word definitions. 😛
::hovers::
👀
<3
Discussion is always fine
But the moment it gets uncivil
I'm putting this hammer on AOE spec
And spinning in circles with my eyes closed
tbh for a moment i thought i was talking on lounge earlier but was in server-feedback instead lol oopz
I still need to unlock this skill
Git gud
lol
it's a subtle commentary that gitting gud is ultimately not a goal one can complete, but a journey towards failure, and that we have to accept that failure
thats deep
death is inevitable. thank you for coming to my TED talk
in that case, lets make it a fun ride, or at the very least an interesting one and meet many strange and awesome things along the way.
Death was an American death metal band formed in Altamonte Springs, Florida in 1984 by guitarist and vocalist Chuck Schuldiner. Death is considered to be among the most influential bands in heavy metal and a pioneering force in the extreme metal subgenre of death metal. The band's debut album, Scream Bloody Gore, has been widely regarded one of ...
no gloom here, I was being facetious
i know :)
(as usual)
Imagine having an entire genre named after your band's name
I mean if they had picked a different name it probably wouldn't have worked
fluffy cuddles metal
exactly
i mean tbf the XM8 is a cool ass rifle
yee
i would listen to this
Hello! Just discovered this group, is amazing!
loud noises
The sweet smell of washed hair
Screaming in excruciating bliss
Blood boils over, warping veins
fluffy fur collapses onto melting plates
Spontaneous cuddles, up in flames
Twisting and writhing as life burns away
Until nothing is left but fluffy thoughts.
remix of charred remains - autopsy XD
sings the lyrics like Tom Araya
lol
Thank you
welcome!
Enjoy your stay, we got informations, resources, and blackjack
we do?
Well, we don't have blackjack minigame...
I blame Manny
!8ball Does Manny 2.0 going to have blackjack?
@quasi mantle, :8ball: Better not tell you now.
😳
how about a Server AD promotion
I kinda want the flip coin command.
!flipcoin do dishes|eat bag of chips
bag of chips
That animation was horrifying.
eating ~~chips ~~is expensive
[Insert thing here] is expensive
Breathing is expensive
Imagine needing huge amount of gas in one breathe
||btw the gas is obviously not just oxygen||
I mean have you seen the price of gas nowadays
haha comedy
oxygen is expensive tho
totally didnt just google it
To be fair, elemental gases are tad expensive
Also liquid nitrogen > liquid oxygen
Also pure oxygen would be super flammable
Actually relatively low amounts of oxygen, compared to nitrogen.
Ya.
nitrogen is largely inert for us
Organisms that perform nitrogen fixation care a lot about nitrogen.
but if the atmosphere had more oxygen we'd die so fast
Nitrogen stinks?
shh dont make nitrogen valid
Ozones are way stinkier IMO
just because its insanely helpful for our ecosystem
The atmosphere used to have a lot more oxygen, that's why animals used to be bigger back in the day.
They were able to process more oxygen.
the issue is that oxygen oxides our bodies. it's basically slowly burning them. very slowly
which is one of the theories behind why aging happens
if there was more oxygen introduced we'd age faster
Wasn't it that a certain protein strain runs out after a while and our cells stop dividing properly?
that may be the reason for less renewal
but our bodies do react with oxygen in the same way as a burn
the ends of our adenine pairs get thinner iirc and that stops cell regeneration
I find it hard to believe that oxygen burn causes aging when plants (who respire too) don't suffer from it.
i have just solved aging
Maybe we're just more susceptible.
i mean we can only process oxygen when its bound to haemoglobin, but i cant see it is "burning" us
although i would like to see some sources
that would be cool
Burning isn't really burning, it's oxidisation.
the only stuff im finding is that pure oxygen is bad
It's just that fire is an exothermic oxidisation reaction.
well ye, i was just using the phrasing above
Every cell and every organism ages sooner or later. But why is this so? Scientists have now discovered for the first time a protein that represents a central switching point in the aging process. It controls the life span of an individual -- from the fly to the human being. This opens up new possibilities for developing therapies against age-rel...
found this that seems to talk about the same issue
Interesting!
damn dats alot of live peeps
plants age too, I just don't think it's often you get to see it given that seasons happen
anyway plants don't eat oxygen, they expel it
nom nom
woof
i wish i had a sand hole to plug my head
not an ice hole? I'm sure you've got an ice hole
!8ball how can i turn normal again like my teenage days?
@zinc matrix, :8ball: It is decidedly so.
that is strange, no one carries the answer
Just because they photosynthesise to produce o2 doesn't mean they don't also use respire.
!8ball Should everyone here definitely watch the State of Unreal keynote?
@bronze axle, :8ball: Outlook not so good.
They just produce more o2 than they consume
Welp.
I guess the event is going to be a dud, folks. You heard Manny.
Nothing to be excited about.
state of the unreals, hmm that Tim of year again is it
didnt they say theyd release the Matrix project as a sample? maybe they'll wait for 5.0 full release for that
Well there's a tech talk about the Matrix demo.
Two, actually.
Wow, I just noticed the keynote will be 1.5 hours.
I do miss Carmacks old keynotes, FB has him on too tight a leash
Carmack keynotes were indeed classic.
I dont think people really appreciated what it took to get up there and talk with a projected voice for so long and stay sane as well. Most world leaders would buckle at that test 😛
Yeah. John Carmack makes it look effortless.
Like he's chatting with old friends by the fire.
yeah but you could tell its not rehearsed because of the nervous tick, everyone does it, some form of umming
I like it. Feels more natural.
stand up comedians work it out, theyre okay with silence. Im alright with waiting a moment for a smart person to gather thoughts
I think I'm just a little jaded from decades of perfectly-rehearsed product announcements.
Same here, that's a good point. I might prefer that over filler words.
oh man that Overwatch 2 announcement someone linked to me was such cringe, its all "hello fellow kiddos" and its always some old greying dude like Gandalf to the Hobbits
then you look at the stats for the game, over 50% of players over 30... hmm
I will cuz of the time difference
For those who do want a reminder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZLibi6s_ew
Ready for what’s next? Watch the State of Unreal 2022 stream here!
In this year’s State of Unreal, you’ll hear our latest news and dive into insightful tech talks. And that’s all on top of a very special announcement…
Check out what’s on the agenda here: https://unrealengine.com/state-of-unreal
#UnrealEngine #StateofUnreal #EpicGames
"can we have native ARM support?"
🤔
forget arm support I want leg support
So tim will talk tmr
oh wicked Nick and Sjoerd too
they will, both on IK solutions
planning
calculating*
I can talk too. At home.
but will CliffyB rejoin Epic to work on Unreal 3 😛
Oopf... just saw that I got an appointment exactly when that even starts.
Captain Malcom
E3 Cancelled 😮
Epic5
tbh Unreal Engine is kinda large enough to have its own event
Source code talking
trouble is getting the viewers in, for some reason these engine channels dont get many hits on YT
You think? Last time I checked on Twitch it was at least thousands?
Epic Gamers Community 😛
thousands isnt many when you got ASMR channels getting more subs/views
asmr?
whatever that eary noisey thing is called
The YT also have many views, but then it is a game deving, so not so much to begin with.
ASMD 😛
Well, certainly a dude stamping post marks will get more views.
I think its because the engine channels are perhaps abit too enterprise focused for regular folk
Pretty stoked to see Zak Parrish will be there.
Eeeh... how so? Wdym engine channel then? I mean, when they talk say Nanite oor... some tech, there are regular folk.
Unreal Engine channel on YT
Enlighten us, common folk 🙂
you would expect it to have billions of views but it barely gets more than an Angry Joe review 😛
eeh, that not fortnite
He's one of the best educators at Epic and usually demos new tools.
I've also seen him dual-wield beers.
Ah, nice... They have so many people making videos over that I can't remember them 😅
lol
Zak did the gold standard tutorial for Blueprint communications in UE4.
what was that old site again that Zak did the tutorials on? Im old and forgetful
3DBuzz!
thats the one
I was just going to mention that.
ha
So you've been around the Unreal scene as long as I have. 😄
Probably a lot of people here who never knew that site. It was great.
yeah I used to watch 3DBuzz tutorials
I cut my teeth on UE3 with Zak's 3DBuzz tutorials for the UT3 editor.
didnt he do some 3d modelling ones as well, I remember some Maya tutorials
Yep.
sigh... back then, I was making levels for UT but barely had internet to watch tutorials.
I was pretty lucky to have a decent broadband connection back then.
Even then, the videos took a lot longer to buffer compared to today.
no shaderbits this year
And they were much lower resolution.
Yeah, I think Ryan is sitting this one out.
Hourences will be there, though.
probably busy working in his lab 😛
Hey look, Mons. It's us.
thats the earliest UE build
Frankly, I have no idea pre ue3
didnt even have an interface only a console commandline
Somehow terminal pong sounds interesting to me. lol
Commander Keen had the bricks game
In fact, I started late. My first pong was on 16 colors.
This is where I played it the most, lol
First mini-game ever.
I mainly know of UE1 after the fact, I came in around end of 2002 with UE2. I tried using UE1 but it was unstable on my system so I stuck with Quake engine games
Nice, so you met Unreal a bit before me.
A good 4-5 years earlier.
I started with the UT3 editor, before UDK came out.
When they still did Make Something Unreal competitions.
I was such a noob back then though, still learning the concepts of coding and modelling
Me, too. I learned level design before anything else.
yup I entered than MSUC, got honourable mentions, UDK MVP, UE4 Founder and all that jazz I dont get badges for 😦
Don't you have the Rocket Beta Tester badge then?
yeah thats the only one I do have, I even lost my Answerhub 3 star one whatever its called
sage thats the one I think
Oh that sucks. Any idea why?
just with the forum swap over it didnt transfer I guess
Lame. Did you ever reach out to Amanda or anyone else about it?
plus I havent been active on AH so Im not that fussed, some people have been active helping for years
I used to help heaps more in the UDK days
Ah.
I kinda sus these badges. Even on the Online Academy I lost several due to some website changes. Not that I care, but at least I kept a track what I have seen already.
No that many old hats around, I know plenty of people from back in those days still using UE theyre just busy with life and work to get in amongst the community. They could be the best people to learn from too
Not everyone is willing to hang around helping. In fact, many don't lol.
I'm lucky enough to have a few old hats in the Portland meetup group. I've had some fun conversations there.
Im not sure we do UE meetups in my state, its abit of a hike to go to Melbourne but theres a fair few devs there. Lots of indies though so UE is alittle niche
Its abit of an odd feeling when most people are making 2D games and youre talking about stuff like metahuman lol
I think there was a section on the Forums which was split by geography. Some people asking there for local buddies.
We've worked pretty hard to build a decent Unreal presence here. Lots of devs but Unity has a stronger community here.
My partner and I have been running the Unreal meetup here for 5 years or so. We've got a nice group of regulars and a wide range of talents.
so weird to see pfist here during this time 🤔
I'm alone for the weekend.
want me to come over?
Usually I'd be spending time with my partner now before bed but she's out of town.
Working on Manny v2.
so you finally decided to look at the server more , makes sense
will old Manny be called Granny 😛
I'm usually on Discord all day long.
I thought it is done already?
Nope. You'll definitely know when it's ready.
Will be pretty hard to miss.
just not in #lounge huh
Huh... I meant, the ones on 5.x are not the latest, but I was wondering.
Oh, are you talking about the real Manny? I meant our bot.
lol maybe they'll finally fix Manny to be X forward
Let me check.
then everyone will have to rotate their character mesh 90
both manny getting updated nearly at the same time, coincidence ???
It however makes sense to have a refresh, the Slacker's Manny. I mean UE5 Manny & Quinn are coming.
Manny5
MannyV
Looks X forward to me.
The right thing to do.
thats the character not the skeletal mesh though
such ambiguous arrows
skeletal meshes come from Maya I think thats why they like Y forward
Ah.
Yeah... that won't ever change I guess 😄
The new Manny looks so good.
Kind of amazing honestly. I didn't expect such an improvement.
it's the mascot
The animation looks way better and more natural.
is it a new rig too?
Yes, it uses Control Rig now.
True... Also default IK
Maybe it was not washed long enough to form an intelligence. You don't touch holy things.
the animation really doesn't feel that different to me
🤔
for protecting human eyes
urrrgh that jump loop is still horrible though, thats me being picky though 🙂
I think it looks good. Certainly a lot better than the old one.
The old jump looked and felt very rigid and floaty.
This one has a bit of weight to it and looks more like an actual person.
yeah its better but I dont like this jump up type anim, could work for a basketball game but it looks abit odd when the character is doing a long jump. People tend to extend one foot out for reach for that sort of jump
jumps are different to falls too 😛
Yeah. It's not winning any awards, but it's a much better default.
And since it's Control Rig, it'll be easier to tweak as well.
A lot of MP anims have sticky feet too. Bugs me to no end seeing that knee bending.
yeah control rig makes it heaps easier to make new anims for
Im looking forward to using UE5 properly on projects, I think it'll make a huge difference in productivity
Not practicing drums for a few months and my feet's already weakening lol :')
I just got an ad on Twitch for the State of Unreal stream
Regaining my feet power will take a while
Not yet as strong as double kick monster, but at least endurance has to be enough to not embarassing myself
Everything back to normal today?
that's 5.0 not 5.1 👀
does running or something help with those muscles?
This morning I shall be playing with beaver balls. Or rather beaver puffs [for archery], you bunch of depraved lunatics.. 😄
have fun moa!
Ok
I hope they release 5.0 before 5.1, or am I mistaken ?!
Gotta translate these strings to burmese.
Do you guys think spending a bunch of money for school in game dev is worth it or just solo learning better?
Depends if you want to be a professional game dev or not
@zinc matrix nope I heard big places kinda burn you out
Could be wrong tho, probably am but I like the sound of indie
Well man, I'd ask around some more
Anyway

"It's over, Luthor!"
Solo learning and taking comp science degree at the same time sounded better
At least with CS degree you can have some shortcuts in getting hired by some studios
Oh, Superman, where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour
Amen
Glad you finally see why I like Superman
Well, I just remembered this song again lol

#Genesis #LandOfConfusion #Vevo
God those faces
The song's banger tho
They look like eldritch abominations of Muppets
try #career-chat
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go 'round
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?
oh? do you want some love?
But on a serious note, I'm happy Amazon finally has a union
It sucks Lex Luthor exists IRL while Superman doesn't, but at least the Amazon workers adopted Superman's fighting spirit for truth and justice
@quasi mantle luckily I’m already taking the cs path, awesome thanks for the info!
What language you learning?
C++ was the first I learned then a bit of Java, Python and html. Mostly c++ tho
Yikes, sounds like Hell
I dread when I'm gonna hafta learn C++
The memory leaks man…
Wym?
thankfully in UE you don't really need to worry about it much because the engine deals with memory management
explain
climate change
its cuz Jeff Bezos burnt the Amazong
localized climate
some say also the paint white also helps to keep ground cooler instead of black tarmac
I think white disperse the heat away, while black colour absorbs it.
what about blue then?
why do people use nm for Newton-metre 😦
because it's short?
its because the silly people measure things in thous
so they dont realise nm is actually for nanometre
N-m is Newton-metre
yeah I always see nm and its like oh I know this from eletronics, its nanometres... then I realise its a mechanic talking
oooooh its a torque spec
that's like words with same spelling
hows the weekend doing ?
context is needed
i hope it's okay , what about you?
poor Max Payne not on Steam
payneful
not good not bad meh
got some virus or something
get well soon 😢 💐 😭
ohhh
i heard there was a new xe variant
yeah new covid Dlc is out
they should just number them like phones
or planets
Xe variant is like that Intel XeSS
i have heard naming scheme of distant planets is weird
exo planets naming can come weird
maybe planet Covid is nicer than Venus
perhaps
or Planet Divoc
it's so quiet today
im trying to retarget mixamo on a metahuuumon
but every tutorial is different 😐
April Fools fatigue lol
wtf
When did Epic give up on the launcher and make marketplace categories open the browser..... because that's awesome!
saves me remembering to use marketplace via the browser
and the launcher isn't freezing all the time... wtf is going on
I wonder if they are ever going to fix the infinite log out redirection issue they have with everything on their website
let's not go crazy
The only way to fix that right now is to clear your cookies for the epic domains and every time it happens it's just much easier to simply close the tab :p
@deep glen finally a normal image of you
hrmm it's not opening the categories the normal way in the browser... so you can't see your cart
it's opening:
https://marketplace-website-node-launcher-prod.ol.epicgames.com/ue/marketplace/en-US/free
instead of:
https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/free
yea, bit rough around the edges though
and it's not adding to the launcher cart; maybe they just broke the launcher
oh well back to the normal browser version
Hevedy normal Mr Fantastic type water temp testing
What about having to go Back twice in order to actually get Back?
This does not work nor in the Launcher, nor in the website.
In fact... I'm not sure that the Launcher is open sourced 🤔
I remember getting frustrated once, but unable to find it.

I mean, surely it'd be easier to do .26
!8ball if i import this 2.6gb alembic fbx will it crash?
@zinc matrix, :8ball: Don't count on it.
Niceee
sounds like a recipe for disaster but hey you do you
I feel like I've really leveled up with my Unreal Programming.
Everything is suddenly easier.
as in you've stopped using tick for everything? 😂
Will Smith would be disappointed (boom)
26 is easier
it was 😭
Manny lied to me!😥
!8ball should i only use the female version of Manny from now on?

@ionic flame, :8ball: Outlook good.
!8ball did pfist secretly manipulated your code?
@deep glen, :8ball: Better not tell you now.
!8ball the whole galaxy then?
@deep glen, :8ball: Cannot predict now.
!8ball do you just wanna couch potato?
🐸
!8ball is this statement false?

watching UE niagara tutorial, well thats all nice BUT WHATS THAT EPIC CATCHY TUNE???
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31GXFW-MgQk&t=85s
This week we'll learn how to recreate several advanced effects from the Unreal Engine 5 demo. We'll walk you through the techniques and design theories behind the bats, insect swarms, and our recent position-based dynamics-driven popcorn sim: "The Kernel." This deep dive will cover spatial hashes, boid simulators, constraints, procedural generat...
!8ball Woof?
@dark sequoia, :8ball: You may rely on it.
woof!
@celest musk check soundhound or shazam
what part of the 1 hour 36 min
sounds dope though
at the timestamp from the link
sounds like prmiere
