but TWO packs with low poly camping equipment from two different people, in the same week?

tiny thistle Oct 27, 2016, 4:20 PM

#

with realistic - as long it looks real most things will pass

#

maybe there is not enough submissions?

#

or some release whatevers based on reputation from older assets they sold

#

Im just guessing...

#

also if those low poly packs generaly sell good...

anyone ever get the ccg toolkit

Low poly or stylized ages much better too. Something realistic that looks amazing now, might not be all that great in two years when it hits shelves.

@wooden falcon Why are you fighting with your seller report?

wooden falcon Oct 27, 2016, 7:08 PM

#

because it won't tell me my sales for today 😃

#

yah, I realize that's by design now 😦

#

it's like one of those gift box things, but I know it's just going to be filled with 💩

sleek egret Oct 27, 2016, 7:09 PM

#

Ah yes, we're actually posting about that now. So there's been a change to the reporting for all of your sales reports from now on. Instead of e-mailing them out individually, you'll see them as soon as the finance team approves it.

#

So you get to see the reports of what you'll get paid a bit sooner and more accurately in a view you can fiddle with and check

#

The trade off to this was that we couldn't keep the live sales reporting with it.

wooden falcon Oct 27, 2016, 7:15 PM

#

it feels like a step backwards

sleek egret Oct 27, 2016, 7:17 PM

#

It does on the end of being able to watch your sales but for the backend it's a bit different. It makes it easier to reconcile and improve reporting that's sent to you guys and the overall goal is to get everything to a point where payments are much more consistent

@daring bridge It's not incredibly intuitive for how to view by month. I'll see what we can do to make that better.

daring bridge Oct 27, 2016, 9:10 PM

it's 100% perfect I reckon, if the month matches the actual billing period. it just needs to show the current month as well like it used to

sleek egret Oct 27, 2016, 9:12 PM

#

Still, if something doesn't make sense or if there's an issue of "I don't know how to get to this view" don't be afraid to let us know. It more than likely means we need to make an improvement to the UI

daring bridge Oct 27, 2016, 9:19 PM

gaunt flicker Oct 27, 2016, 10:44 PM

CHANGE IS BAD

rare lynx Oct 27, 2016, 11:44 PM

#

Why are manual reports even necessary anymore? Before this change, sales reports would list the monthly sales and divided them based on product/price in the case of discounts.

#

Now we can't even look at overall monthly sales for the current month, and we can no longer view up to the minute sales. This is a huge step backwards.

daring bridge Oct 28, 2016, 1:01 AM

#

the answer to that was "more time to do fraud prevention"

#

you don't miss it if you never had it

rare lynx Oct 28, 2016, 1:03 AM

#

That was not the answer. The answer was that it would help the accounting staff with sending out reports that are more accurate. The thing is, we were told our sales reports wouldn't have been affected a while ago due to it being 45 days prior.

#

Furthermore, we now find out that they wiped sales data from June 2015 - March 2016, without even giving sellers a heads up. That is totally unacceptable. If they're no longer sending out reports, how can we rely on the data being hosted on their site?

#

Sales data is one of the most crucial elements in the operation of any business. What's being done to ours is simply baffling.

daring bridge Oct 28, 2016, 1:20 AM

#

we can no longer view up to the minute sales

that was the answer to that question

#

you can look at the overall sales for the current month, just go into day view and limit it to the current month

rare lynx Oct 28, 2016, 1:23 AM

#

I'm not going to quote them here for obvious reasons, but if you have access to the creator's hub read this post and the one below. https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?127060-Sales-report-change&p=615544&viewfull=1#post615544 They're citing sales reports as the reason for the change. I can't recall anyone ever complaining of inaccurate sales reports, and their own responses during the fraud events made mention that it wouldn't affect them due to the timing.

That isn't even the biggest problem though. The removal of online sales data is more alarming than a day delay. If we are no longer getting email reports as the posts in that thread suggest, then how can we rely on online data when they just wiped nearly a years worth without giving us a heads up?

there are two sales reports: the live feed on the website and the one you get each month from epic

I think you may be confusing them

I'm well aware of that

the 45 day delay refers to the sales report you get in email

rare lynx Oct 28, 2016, 1:34 AM

#

Ok, explain to me how transactions relates to the removal of sales data.

daring bridge Oct 28, 2016, 1:34 AM

#

a day's delay is entirely reasonable.

rare lynx Oct 28, 2016, 1:34 AM

#

You're still on that day, this isn't about that

daring bridge Oct 28, 2016, 1:34 AM

#

it can take seven working days for a transaction to be "real". holds are generally put in place before then but not everyone uses them

#

in epic's case they may be manually processing the transaction after the hold, because that's a fuckload cheaper

#

manual transactions have an extra period during which they may be reversed without warning

#

this is just guessing

rare lynx Oct 28, 2016, 1:35 AM

#

Whenever you're ready to explain why you think sales data removal is ok, I'll be here. Otherwise, keep attacking the straw man.

daring bridge Oct 28, 2016, 1:35 AM

#

but it's fairly common

#

I'm not commenting on sales data removal and neither did the link

#

also, you may have to solve your problem one point at a time

#

not all at once

#

about lost sales data, I'd just ask why and ask when the timeline is for it to be restored

#

I'd say it was a system change and moving old data over is a backlog task

#

they absolutely sound like they're working their asses off and that's why there are delays

#

now, if you're mad at the marketplace for not being as great as you'd like, that's fine. but being mad at the people who work there or being mad at people trying to help you with it who aren't even affiliated is shit. especially when you talk down to them like little bitches.

You have a history of getting combative with people on here. If you don't have a problem with the removal of your sales data, that's your right. But don't get mad at me for voicing my valid opinion that this is a concerning event for anyone who is running a business on the marketplace. No one was talking down to Epic, either in here nor in the thread. If you can't handle constructive criticism, that, again, is your right. But don't put up this white knight act and pretend as if we're viciously attacking epic for raising concerns when clearly we are not.

but a lot of people look at this as a devolution...people LIKE to see stuff in real time

gaunt flicker Oct 28, 2016, 2:15 PM

#

Publish and forget seems to be best strategy by far

wooden falcon Oct 28, 2016, 2:41 PM

#

even with my crummy sales, I still do all I can to support the users 😃

#

had a customer leave a comment on my pack page (not the best place to run support) that the 4.9 version of my pack wasn't available anymore (this was when 4.12 just came out)

#

I downloaded 4.9 and rebuilt everything

#

he had a good reason as to why he couldn't upgrade the engine, but I can't remember what it was

modern perch Oct 28, 2016, 2:55 PM

#

was it "I don't want to" :p?

wooden falcon Oct 28, 2016, 3:07 PM

#

I think versions after 4.9 didn't support compilation using VS2013 anymore

#

I'm not sure why he couldn't update VS, but oh well 😃

#

it can only be a good thing if customers see you supporting other customers

modern perch Oct 28, 2016, 3:15 PM

#

VS2015 is free...

wooden falcon Oct 28, 2016, 3:16 PM

#

yah, not sure the reasoning

#

but I'm not going to tell a customer "Update your Visual Studios!"

modern perch Oct 28, 2016, 3:17 PM

#

'get with the program, it's 2016!' :p

@gaunt flicker If your super cereal about compiling stats from people, give me a shout. I thought I had 0 sales but I was pleasently suprised with my sales so would be more than happy to throw the stats into the pile

I'm happy to contribute stats if I can get a look at the big picture after

#

we should form an industry collective

rustic siren Oct 29, 2016, 12:50 AM

#

has anyone ever made a pack with external content before?

#

like I intend to add IB particle effect to the asset and have it in the same package.
I was curious if I should maintain original folder structure from IB assets

brazen temple Oct 29, 2016, 2:20 AM

#

@daring bridge We should form a union!

daring bridge Oct 29, 2016, 2:20 AM

#

you're going to get us all fired

brazen temple Oct 29, 2016, 2:21 AM

#

@rustic siren That's a good question. I'd vote putting in Content / YourFolderName / Example. Preferably, I'd say Content / YourFolderName / Blueprints / Example - but I understand that the first one makes more sense

daring bridge Oct 29, 2016, 2:21 AM

#

@rustic siren I think you can include random files in your project that get included with the asset. quite often source assets

rustic siren Oct 29, 2016, 2:21 AM

#

well

#

atm the moment i just kept the original folder structure

#

just deleted all the assets that were not used

#

basically its 2 main folders

daring bridge Oct 29, 2016, 2:24 AM

oh IB is infinity blade

#

I thought it was some external thing

rustic siren Oct 29, 2016, 2:24 AM

#

nope its ib

daring bridge Oct 29, 2016, 2:24 AM

#

as far as i know you can use those assets but you have to be clear that you sourced them from there and they're not what's for sale

rustic siren Oct 29, 2016, 2:24 AM

#

i mean, yep its ib

#

I know, already cleared that with Stephanie

daring bridge Oct 29, 2016, 2:24 AM

#

that way nobody buys your stuff just to get something they could have had for free

brazen temple Oct 29, 2016, 2:25 AM

#

_just please put the darn folder as a child folder of your Battle_Transporter folder

rustic siren Oct 29, 2016, 2:25 AM

#

just wasn't sure about correct folder structure

#

when sourcing assets

#

so I need to do that after all

#

gotcha

brazen temple Oct 29, 2016, 2:25 AM

#

Basically, think about it this way

#

Whenever you import an asset, it will overwrite anything in the project

#

If everything is in one folder, nothing will happen

#

But if the project already had an Infinity Blade folder?

#

and the person made loads of edits?

rustic siren Oct 29, 2016, 2:26 AM

#

I see what you mean

brazen temple Oct 29, 2016, 2:26 AM

#

It don't care, it'll eat that crap up without even asking them 😛

#

So with everything in one folder, there's no chance of random file overwriting 😛

#

I mean if you have siblings, it's like you getting to the last level of Ocarina of Time, going to bed and waking up to see that they overwrote your save file 😃

#

Not cool 😛

rustic siren Oct 29, 2016, 2:28 AM

#

fair enough

G morning everyone.
@solemn prism 60$
@shell jacinth There is no actually free MP assets. People are not allowed to post the for free (issue came up when some artists wanted to make some free content to promote their other packs) however epic made few of their packs like Infinity Blade series free for everyone (free as long as you use it within your ue4 projects)

I think it's just 'whenever they get processed' to be honest, doesn't seem to be any real pattern to it

ebon leaf Oct 31, 2016, 12:32 PM

New assets get added on Wednesdays I'm pretty sure, except there is usually a small number of plugins that get added on Mondays. Updates to assets get done whenever they are processed though.

Hi @flat schooner, @ebon leaf is correct. We release new content on Wednesdays, new plugins are released on Thursdays.

plush pond Oct 31, 2016, 7:14 PM

I have a question: It's recommended to provide an example map of your marketplace blueprint asset showing its functionality, but you should remove additional content. But in my case the example map needs additional blueprints, childblueprints, etc?

#

If I want it to be like content examples, It'll also need some additional static meshes

flat schooner Oct 31, 2016, 7:29 PM

#

AFAIK you can leave staff from content example and deafault map but you vave to move them to your asset folder

#

*vave =have

plush pond Oct 31, 2016, 7:35 PM

#

AFAIK=?

#

sorry I don't know the terms

flat schooner Oct 31, 2016, 7:36 PM

#

As far Is I know

plush pond Oct 31, 2016, 7:36 PM

#

ah ok

#

I guess I'll create a subfolder called example inside the assets folder, where I'll put all the example assets & the map

#

then it can be easily deleted

Yep it should work

hey @Derzo#4198, just for your information, i just submitted a pack and they want you to have a standard folder layout and name your example map 'Overview'

so it's like YourAssetPackName/Meshes, /Maps, /Materials

what is the better release option, to release a pack of 5 characters for $9.95, or 5 individual characters for a few dollars each? what is better for the marketplace?

daring bridge Nov 2, 2016, 8:15 AM

#

why not both?

#

if you do release single characters they have to be rigged and substantially animated

#

make them as comprehensive as possible - different outfits, materials, weapons, etc

#

the bar for getting individual characters on the MP seems to have been going up

#

the same is true for packs too but you can be a little lighter on all of the alternative options

tiny thistle Nov 2, 2016, 9:53 AM

#

@spice sierra to answer your question on single asset vs pack from a customers perspective

#

if someone is low on cash and just need 1 or 2 models - he/she will go for single character/asset

#

but there is this mentality - omg discount!

#

even if people need just one asset from pack they tend to buy whole pack (because iot was cheaper)

#

so in theory

#

packs sell good

@fallow plinth PM me your forum name, you may just need a badge

wooden falcon Nov 2, 2016, 2:54 PM

#

@spice sierra be sure to price it high enough to account for Epic's 30%...at $10, you're only going to get $7 per sale (not accounting for taxes...VAT in the EU, which I think is taken out during the purchase, or income taxes if you're in the US, which you're expected to pay yourself).

#

also keep in mind that you might want to put it on sale sometime...take a look at other comparable quality characters on the marketplace to get an idea of how much they're going for

delicate dove Nov 2, 2016, 3:13 PM

#

^ that, and if you have animations to all your fishies, those can be more valueble than the model itself as they could be repurposed.

wooden falcon Nov 2, 2016, 3:15 PM

#

it's easier justifying reducing price down the road than it is increasing price (without serious updates to the pack to justify the hike)

#

you might mention in the desc that the character is the default ue4 one

plush pond Nov 2, 2016, 3:52 PM

I'll answer anyway just so you have it. It does depend on what you're selling. If you're selling a model and using textures from Epic that's going to get some push back, if you're putting in the entirety of Kite Demo to show off a single woodland creature, we'll probably ask you to take it out. With things like blueprints, we're less strict so long as it's not overkill. So worst case we'd just ask you to cut down. It should showoff your product but your product does need to be the main focus.

I got crazy idea

#

What if I could buy some asset for example this one: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/simple-farm fro 10$ which is models only, work on it: add logic, maybe animations, etc. Value my work on this asset for 10$ and sell it on mp for 20$. So 10$ will get author of the models and another 10 I will get for my additional work.

Simple Farm - Cartoon Assets
A simple asset pack of vehicles, buildings, props and characters to create a farm based game. Modular sections are easy to piece together in a variety of combinations.

#

I know it sounds crazy but finally you could buy much more complex assets

ebon leaf Nov 2, 2016, 6:53 PM

#

You could always contact the creator and ask

quaint cedar Nov 2, 2016, 7:04 PM

#

Hm yes, this needs the ability to give a product on the MP multiple sellers and each of them a ratio of how much they get of each sold unit

#

I'm kinda sure this will not happen any time soon

ebon leaf Nov 2, 2016, 7:07 PM

#

That would be a useful feature

#

Is there a place to post that so Epic sees it?

#

Email them perhaps?

new item in the making. wind stuff. still WIP. some wind gust intensities and direction switches are too abrupt. there will also be a physx cloth flag example and an example for a wind affected particle effect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdLEzuZydOE&feature=youtu.be what do you think?
i'm not sure. would you expect more example objects in such a package, or would you only buy it for the code and use your own meshes. what do you think about the presentation in this scene? does it attract you, or is it too much blingbling?

Looks interesting. If it's a code based product you don't need to go all out for the visuals. It wouldn't hurt if you can, but I would imagine people would buy it for use with their own assets.

@nova scaffold What are you exactly looking for?

nova scaffold Nov 3, 2016, 9:18 AM

#

@gleaming echo current implementation in the engine is not efficient when it comes to doing "coherent" queries and lucks some features, like measuring distance of speific segments

#

contemlating if maybe I should change it myself in the engine and do pull request (which I've never done before) or first testing this with a custom implementation

Or do I have to replicate its functionality in BP?

oak thistle Nov 3, 2016, 3:49 PM

#

Generally I think they expect things to be self contained currently, but not certain.

#

@sleek egret should be able to say.

random pagoda Nov 3, 2016, 3:50 PM

#

I'd expect it to be self contained... but it's a lot easier if it doesn't have to be!

#

a lot easier for me that is 😛

oak thistle Nov 3, 2016, 3:51 PM

#

Yeah I agree there should be scope for that kind of thing eventually, but it complicates stuff so I can understand Epic not wanting to go there.

random pagoda Nov 3, 2016, 3:52 PM

nova scaffold Nov 3, 2016, 3:52 PM

@random pagoda replicating it could defeat the purpose of the asset if performance becomes subpar

random pagoda Nov 3, 2016, 3:53 PM

#

I'm not sure what that means

nova scaffold Nov 3, 2016, 3:54 PM

#

what I mean is that there should be a reason why it was done in c++ in a first place, which could be performance or some things not being exposed to BPs in the first place

#

@random pagoda what kind of license it has? GPL or something more forgiving

random pagoda Nov 3, 2016, 3:54 PM

#

Ah

#

Not sure where to find that information TBH.

#

It's this: https://bitbucket.org/mordentral/vrexpansionplugin

A plugin for Unreal Engine 4 that adds some additional VR related features / components.

oak thistle Nov 3, 2016, 3:58 PM

#

Well you'd have to ask the creator. Just because the code is on BitBucket doesn't make it open source or say anything about the license.

random pagoda Nov 3, 2016, 3:58 PM

#

Fair call.

nova scaffold Nov 3, 2016, 3:58 PM

https://bitbucket.org/mordentral/vrexpansionplugin/src/87da0fb73c3b5b4ca113dbef02e028823305fea6/LICENSE.txt?at=Master&fileviewer=file-view-default
it sounds like MIT license

#

so you should be able to compile it and sell in compiled form. IMHO it's always the best to consult with dev and provided some attribution even in MIT cases. It's not required but nice thing to do.

random pagoda Nov 3, 2016, 4:00 PM

#

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

nova scaffold Nov 3, 2016, 4:00 PM

you can distribute source too, but license file should be there

nova scaffold Nov 3, 2016, 4:01 PM

#

@oak thistle I think it's a standard practice to include it, but not everyone does it

#

@random pagoda I'm interested in this question too, people where asking if I know how would they publish their stuff on MP if they use my plugin

random pagoda Nov 3, 2016, 4:03 PM

#

I mean... all this stuff is an excellent base to work from as intended

nova scaffold Nov 3, 2016, 4:03 PM

random pagoda Nov 3, 2016, 4:04 PM

Not that I'm using much of the functionality, just that the functionality that I'm using is critical to what I'm doing

It's on the payout report. It looks like the revenue earned is identical for both months on 2 of my products that have the blank unit data. Very weird.

Both of the products have sales pricing, could it be related to that?

#

I'll have to try reopening, but I'm not at home right now

#

wanted to look at the Realistic demo, because lighting is driving me crazy

#

was trying to create an enclosed room with a few windows, but no point lights, just natural light

#

before I built the lighting, it looked great 😉

#

then it just turned really dark with a bit of light coming in from the windows

#

but nvm, totally off topic...I'll go research

man, Protofactor is one prolific dude

modern perch Nov 4, 2016, 3:36 PM

#

the protofactor stuff looks like it's ported from Unity

#

you can tell because the materials look kind of janky

#

it's the same with Mr Necturus, it also looks ported from Unity and the materials look janky in the exact same way

#

I couldn't tell you exactly what's wrong with the materials, but something about them just doesn't look quite right

wooden falcon Nov 4, 2016, 4:13 PM

#

they look a bit plastic

vapid tundra Nov 4, 2016, 4:40 PM

#

i bet they are ported. you can see it tbh.

#

i would be interested to see the actual texture maps. from there you can tell if they were made for unity or not.

wooden falcon Nov 4, 2016, 5:08 PM

#

how?

vapid tundra Nov 4, 2016, 5:15 PM

the maps are different. Wes (from Allegorithmic) made a post about it a couple of years ago

Minor UI Change incoming: https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?127867-Marketplace-UI-Update!-*Please-Read*. Let me know if you guys have questions

Hey guys!

So this is a smaller update but we do want you to be aware of it. There will be an update to the Marketplace UI regarding sales. Sometime this month you will see a new setup for sales. The sale category will no longer be in the dropdown category but will be found on the home tab along with "New Content", "Vault" and "Home". In addition to this we'll also have a specific section for Event Sales for any promotions or sales that Epic puts on (such as the Summer Sale, Halloween Sale,

@sleek egret would it be possible for the marketplace to have a "cheaper than $x.xx" filter? It would be awesome for those with limited funds...

That is an ask that I have out right now along with a more robust search function

wooden falcon Nov 4, 2016, 7:44 PM

hmmm something funny about marketplace submission

i'm asked for PNG 1920x1080

but smaller than 1MB

#

i don't seem to get to choose the size... 1920x1080 png seems to be giving me 1.64MB

#

not sure if i shopuld send JPB or PNG that are larger than 1MB

fallow plinth Nov 4, 2016, 8:48 PM

#

1mb probably they meant jpg

wooden falcon Nov 4, 2016, 8:49 PM

yah, that's pretty limiting for a 1920x1080 png

serene crest Nov 4, 2016, 8:49 PM

it's clearly written PNG in capital

wooden falcon Nov 4, 2016, 8:49 PM

so pretty much all it could be doing is run length encoding...you'd need a solid color pic to get it below 1 m :/

what type of compression is used in png files?

wooden falcon Nov 4, 2016, 8:52 PM

I think the requestor might be saying 1 m limit because that's what the original submission calls for (but as jpg)...when they ask for your files, I'm pretty sure those pics can be over 1 m

tiny thistle Nov 4, 2016, 8:53 PM

there is one thing you can do to reduce size - noise and grain reduction

#

but then it wouldn't look authentic

wooden falcon Nov 4, 2016, 8:53 PM

according to wiki, it's basically just zip compression

I just noticed you don't receive a PDF file when purchasing from the marketplace? An e-mail is the receipt?

Why you would recieve a PDF? Most things I buy online I just get an email?

heady moth Nov 5, 2016, 10:10 AM

#

For tax and accounting reasons

#

They're also selling to other companies and businesses so receiving it in a file is often quite standard.

tall helm Nov 5, 2016, 10:11 AM

email receipts are pretty much the norm though

heady moth Nov 5, 2016, 10:11 AM

That's odd, I'm used to receiving a file as well

quaint estuary Nov 5, 2016, 10:11 AM

Yeah, it's very rare I get a PDF receipt

tall helm Nov 5, 2016, 10:11 AM

sometimes you can request a separate invoice through an automated system

but for bookkeeping... just print the email

I agree you should... but I don't get a receipt from adobe, steam, etc. when I purchase software shrugs

heady moth Nov 5, 2016, 10:13 AM

Well yeah I can just print the e-mail but i'd see a PDF to be quite helpful

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

quaint estuary Nov 5, 2016, 10:14 AM

What does a PDF do that printing an email / converting an email to a PDF can't?

#

To me, it sounds like changing things for the sake of changing things :/

Ease of having a file on digital records as well, rather than screenshotting it

Hello,

@sleek egret Question regarding the 0s and -1s.
0 means you had 1 sale for a package and then 1 refund on the same pack at the same day pulling the 1 back to 0.
-1 means you had 0 sales for a package and then 1 refund on the same pack at the same day makes the 0 show as -1.

Is that correct?

daring bridge Nov 5, 2016, 11:01 AM

#

yeah I don't think it's unreasonable to want people to PDF their own stuff. on the other hand, it is ridiculously easy to convert an HTML document to PDF. Just change the extension.

then attach it

quaint estuary Nov 5, 2016, 1:25 PM

I want my invoices in .jpg so I can open them in Paint and change the numbers so I don't feel so bad

sleek egret Nov 5, 2016, 2:38 PM

0's are the same day and - 1 are over the 24 hour threshold. This doesn't really indicate what type of refund or transaction it was though (charge back, refund, etc.)

ebon leaf Nov 5, 2016, 3:20 PM

@heady moth I agree with you. A PDF file is more practical than just an e-mail. --I didn't know that someone still uses Outlook. I thought browser based e-mailing is safer and more flexible. 😋

Why does the "Marketplace" button in UE4 do nothing ? It should popup the Lauchner with the marketplace tab selected or not ?

@sleek egret Thanks for the reply.
Also we want to put like 12 packs on sale. In one email I'd write the discount percentage per package on the left and also paste the links to every package on the right. It's going to be a little long. Is that okay or you'd want me to do it another way?

@zealous ibex I did the same thing by just making a folder called "Configs to import" and putting the exported panels in there

#

you can also include source assets this way too

#

then just name them descriptively

#

@sonic steeple that looks ridiculously good. how do you set up an object to be affected by wind?

#

say like the sign or the rocking chair

sonic steeple Nov 7, 2016, 12:06 AM

#

thank you man!! i.e. they all derive from one baseclass. make a childclass from this and you are golden. you can then set some like estimated surface area. which is needed for the wind calculations. however these objects need physical materials. these host the material densities, which also go into the wind calc.

near heath Nov 7, 2016, 12:15 AM

#

eeeenteresting

#

i have something similar going, but it's not as detailed as that

#

and it's not based on phys mats which has been on my todo list for ages but that sounds awesome.

daring bridge Nov 7, 2016, 12:23 AM

#

how do you make the sign rock on the chain?

#

and does it lend itself to things like explosions?

#

shockwaves, etc?

sonic steeple Nov 7, 2016, 12:24 AM

#

thank you. also looped soundcues are modulated in volume by the objects velocities, so you can have sounds plyed when the object moves.

daring bridge Nov 7, 2016, 12:25 AM

#

neat

sonic steeple Nov 7, 2016, 12:30 AM

#

the sign works by physical constrains. the chains are each 3 objects with 2-3 links in the mesh. unfortunately the physical constrai. objects need unrealitic material densities for the chain links. therefore i deliver these example objects. explosions or any physical impact should work, since itis all based on physics. but yes i should test this!! thank you for this hint!

#

fun fact: the physx flags don't work with physical forces. you need a wind directonal source and have it synchronized with the physical wind..this is so awkward. but works now! was very tricky since teh internets doesn't know too much about all this.

daring bridge Nov 7, 2016, 12:39 AM

#

gotcha. well, please include it as an example 😃

#

sounds complicated

#

how does the rocking chair rock? like how does it work out what position to return to?

#

I haven't touched physical materials at all so I don't know if they cover this sort of thing

sonic steeple Nov 7, 2016, 12:46 AM

#

yes the package will include all of this scene. the rocking chair is moved by the wind too. the rounded feet of the rocking chair are also rounded in the collision mesh, so it just rocks by the physical simulation.

daring bridge Nov 7, 2016, 12:48 AM

#

does it take its resting state as the position it should return to?

#

kind of like a spring?

sonic steeple Nov 7, 2016, 12:52 AM

#

this is defined by its center of mass. but i didnt offset this. the automatic placement was sufficient for a believable placement. the resting pos is slightly tilted backwards, and the chair will always rock back to this balanced resting point automatically

daring bridge Nov 7, 2016, 12:52 AM

#

that's fancy

#

I have not played with any of that, I guess I should

#

I've only done simple physical objects like spheres and cubes

sonic steeple Nov 7, 2016, 12:54 AM

#

once physics work, it's really satisfying to watch these ingame indeed!

daring bridge Nov 7, 2016, 12:54 AM

#

I bet!

sonic steeple Nov 7, 2016, 12:59 AM

#

it's just a bit perfomance hungry. the scene without the wind actors is 130fps., having 50 tumbleweeds processed plus the other objects will eat 10-20 frames! however i also had 500 tumblers spawned and processed and still had 35fps. so i believe having a max of 30 windactors per scene should be fine

daring bridge Nov 7, 2016, 1:03 AM

is all of this physics on the GPU yet?

#

@gleaming echo @sonic steeple http://advances.realtimerendering.com/other/2016/naughty_dog/NaughtyDog_TechArt_Final.pdf

#

@daring bridge what ND do is a bit more tricky, subobject pivot locations are baked into vertex data, to rotate whole parts of the mesh around a pivot other than the object pivot

#

they also add displacement lag based on how far a vertex is from the pivot

#

to get more realistic sway

#

it's very cool

single vertex colour channel isn't that much of an issue; with a little shader math you can implement as many layers of detail as you need for blends

you mean bitwise packing? we discussed that, and the loss of precision can become an issue

#

dunno if I'd go so far as to pack bitwise, but you could still split the channels

#

you don't tend to need an awful lot of precision (if you did, you wouldn't be using vertex colour)
