The most hardcore demanding players are usually on PC, naturally, because they're the people spending $200 on a keyboard and $1500 on a PC
That's like natural selection at work
The people who just enjoy games like movies usually are more likely to go to consoles
Obviously it's not completely clear cut

Console crowd is more likely to demand zero bug and a well-polished experience, but less likely to require a specific setting and a specific controller

Do it twitch plays style. Server is the only player, the other players just send commands that the server obeys at its leisure.

but you couldn't do a pile of asset flips

So long as the codes themselves aren't abusable. But I was assuming the game would have the code generator, rather than asking a server for one. Might be a fun way for a beta to hand out keys.

The original MGS did that.

floral heart

surreal viper
the univers is so big that it is really unlikely that you meet anyone else, but it does have multiplayer, 10/10 ๐
floral heart
And then they made it so that players can see each other's relative position on the same planet when that turned out to be astonishingly more frequent than though possible.
But of course, no actual replication or syncing necessary, because you're still in a single player instance. Truly marvelous work.
A multiplayer game where your movement is pseudorandom and determined by your name as the seed, but the rate you proceed through it is derived from how loudly you shout into the the server's teamspeak server.
surreal viper
a multiplayer game where everyone sees the world differently
so all the glitches are actual features
livid haven
@surreal viper You joke, but...
floral heart
An RTS game where you play against bots that have the name of people in the matchmaking queue.
livid haven
... I do have a project I'm dreaming of doing that is inspired by a cross of the Battlestar Galactica boardgame and the novel series (and now upcoming movie) The Southern Reach
And players having uncertain alliances due to hidden objectives and potentially actually seeing/hearing different things is part of it.
livid haven
I mean you see an inanimate object, another player sees a horrifying writhing monstrosity that doesn't give chase.
You may actually be the once hallucinating normal things over the madness.
Or vice versa.
If you're imagining false threats, you become a danger to your party potentially.
If you fail to alert them to a threat, you could all get killed.
surreal viper
sounds interesting, but would be best with a small player number (like 2-4 I think)
livid haven
Absolutely
surreal viper
I imagine it would be cool as a narrative coop game ๐
livid haven
Yeah. No real formulation as a game idea, really. Just a "Y'know, this concept would be really really cool"
devout relic
That is a cool concept.
livid haven
Which is not a game design. It's a fragment of an idea for some kind of experience. But I think it's a solid one to build off of.
Definitely check out the movie when it comes out then, if the idea interests you.
livid haven
We'll see if they do the books justice.
I have low expectations. It'd be really neat if they get the visuals and the mind state stuff down.
surreal viper

I might as well just check out the book
devout relic
(Has a question, but isn't sure which channel to ask in.) ๐
floral heart
Easily #ue4-general and almost never #design-chat.
devout relic
Alright.
I think it's kind of a combination of game design and programming? I'm trying to decide on my game's mechanics in advance so I know what to learn and what to build.
Programming is very much not my forte. I'm an artist and writer who came up with an idea a week or two ago that I'm dead-set on making into a game. I was into game design a little when I was a teenager, but I never got past a beginner level.
Is it possible for the player to be able to pick up items with the right mouse button and drop them in a persistent inventory on the HUD that keeps those items when moving between levels?
And then take them out of the inventory and drop them in another level?
surreal viper
sure but requires much manual work
floral heart
I'm no programmer so the specifics would evade me, but if programming is an option then anything is possible. Probably plausible to do in blueprint as well.
devout relic
Not sure what you mean by manual work.
surreal viper
you have to code stuff yourself for this
floral heart
Blueprint is the wiring thing.
devout relic
Yes.
surreal viper
I guess it is also possible with bp but i'm not sure
somehow you have to register which item belongs to which level, also in which position, when a level is loaded you have to spawn the items placed on that level dynamically based on your item system
or you could just move all items to persistent level (if they are not physic simulated that would be the easiest maybe)
still you need a good save system but you will need that anyway
devout relic
The dynamic registering sounds very complicated. ๐
Wait, would the items stay where they were dropped in another level? Like if the player bought a snowcone from the store, left it on the beach, left the beach, and came back to the beach later, would the snowcone still be there?
Also thank you, I do need to learn a saving feature. I already know I want very free saving though.
kindred viper
You could do that with blueprints but I highly recommend at least having the base C++ classes setup for it. Anything that works with the GameInstance feels easier with C++ to me
floral heart
Assuming there's no multiplayer, you want to save the position of everything that persists. Every time you load a level, you would look up the saved things for that level and for that campaign, and load those in. You might even save the absence of things that are definitely not there any longer and despawn them on load so you don't get rabid duplication.
devout relic
Yeah, no multiplayer. It's a single player only campaign.
Also, they only need to persist in the player's inventory. I don't care if they despawn if left somewhere, as long as I can tell the game "If this item is in the player's inventory, don't spawn it again when they reenter its area. And if it's not in their inventory, respawn it."
floral heart
I'm convinced there are many very old 8-bit games that followed those rules.
(Pointless recollection on my part)
I haven't done this myself.
Still, it sounds easy. You wouldn't even need to save the level objects. Having them check the character's saved inventory on level load, as you describe, would be the whole of it. Assuming each item is unique. E.g. I can't break the game by bringing level 1's snowcone to despawn level 3's snowcone. Then again, those kinds of bugs lead to amazing speedruns.
devout relic
Yes, all the items will be unique.
(Starts building a prototype...)
Different question, what's the easiest way to build an invisible box?
I can put six invisible walls together, but I don't know if there's a smarter way to do it.
wary wave
walls make perfect sense
kindred viper
I have always used walls, ceiling and floor to make rooms ever since I stopped using subtractive BSP
devout relic
Ah.
'Cause my plan is to draw 2d backgrounds (because I can't 3d model for shit), but I need gravity, so I'm going to have the player walk around on an invisible floor that matches the room's floor, so they have something to collide with.
So the player doesn't run the character off a cliff that doesn't exist, as hilarious as that would be.
kindred viper
and why not give the floor collision instead?
devout relic
I don't know how to do that.
kindred viper
something to learn then ๐
devout relic
It's 2d characters in a 3d environment, so they use all three axises.
Axises probably spelled incorrectly.
*Axes.
kindred viper
axis is it's own plural I guess
devout relic
Google says it's 'axes.' (Shrug)
kindred viper
google just released some nice translation headphones (ie. babelfish) but they don't always get it right :p
but yeah axes is considered plural of axis in the dictionary. That's an odd quirtk
*quirk
devout relic
Yeah.
wary wave
Axes is indeed the plural of axis
kindred viper

Why don't you do it @plush yew . I mean what do we pay you for anyway? ๐ฎ
devout relic

kindred viper
Here is an interesting query that I wouldn't mind a few opinions on.
How would you implement a turn based game that is multiplayer? I was thinking of something akin to giving 60 seconds to make your moves (heathstone style I guess) but I am worried about the gameplay being too slow and making half the game boring to watch.
surreal viper
I don't think we pay @plush yew to be honest
devout relic
Well, I know a turn based multiplayer game definitely needs a time limit on turns, else people would annoy the hell out of opponents, either being horribly indecisive or afk.
warm mountain
basically each player is given 10 mins per match to make decisions they need to make a decision as fast as they can to save time
once their 10 mins are up they can no longer make moves
kindred viper
anticipation and stress of decision making within the other players turn may be one way.
warm mountain
so eg player 1's turn and player 1 takes 5 seconds to make his first move= 9 mins 55 seconds left and frozen till Player 2 makes his move etc
I played some online card game that was like that years back great times
devout relic
It might also depend on the other mechanics and feel of the game too. Like a game that's supposed to be more pressing and action packed would need a tighter time limit, and a more casual, fun-based game could be more lenient.
kindred viper
it wouldn't really fit the scenario im setting it in currently but I could work that idea in. Its not a card game btw. It's more Xcom like
warm mountain
ah i see
devout relic
You might also see if there's a lore-based system that could put things on a time limit.
kindred viper
I did think about switching it so if the team is 4 characters, then alternating the turns per character might speed it up. Rather than giving a player 1 turn to move 4 characters.
devout relic
Ie, your characters can temporarily freeze time to make decisions on where to move and what to do, but they can't hold it long. Just an example idea.
kindred viper
I could do that
I could have an external influence, such as the police come to break skulls if you dont get it done in time. That would give an emergence to finishing ASAP
like the battlegrounds circle of death
devout relic
Yeah.
Could be something like (and I don't know the specifics of your game) two gangs fighting over an objective. If one doesn't take down the other and take the objective before the police show up, they'll just both be arrested and the police will take the objective themselves.
devout relic
Cool.
kindred viper
its kind of a rip off from Necromunda by Games Workshop, but im gonna reskin it and have different rules to speed things up
wary wave
Heckramandoo, right?
kindred viper
lol yeah. I did think about calling it Gangbangers but I think Brazzers are doing that game
devout relic
Rip-offs aren't such a bad thing, as long as you make them different enough to justify really calling them a different game.
Like "I'm going to take the ideas this game presented, remix them and do them my way," rather than, "I'm going to steal as much of this game as I can so I can do the minimum amount of work for the maximum profit."
kindred viper
All games are ideological theft anyway :p
wary wave
I always liked Gorkamorka more than Necromunda or Mordheim
something about the absolute anarchy of it all
devout relic
All media is more or less ideological theft.

I 'm still having trouble keeping my work in scale however I don't have issues when it comes to the proportions of the small area
I'm thinking of focusing down a single area which I'm really sure of the size of it
and use it as the point of reference and measurement when I work on the rest of the map
so leaving the rest of the map in rough scale while working on a small definite area and then expanding accurately over the rough blocking

What are they then?
cloud cobalt
They're not drawn, so, same as nothing
safe rose
Right
I know that
But where are they?
In terms of memory
They have to be somewhere
cloud cobalt
Pretty much zero
safe rose
Hmm, nah
cloud cobalt
I mean the mask has to be stored, obviously
safe rose
I mean, I am not a tech artist or renderer guru
But nothing is pretty much zero
when it comes to the renderer
And obviously
it costs something for @ruby chasm
So, there's some cost
ruby chasm
I got around the mask, now it's giving me 5.65ms on a directional light component when I have none in this basic scene
cloud cobalt
@safe rose From my own experiments on vegetation, masked and opaque rendering has the same cost. There is like, one instruction required in GLSL to implement it
safe rose
Transient is "temp"
So, if the engine is somehow creating you one (or it's somehow needed)...that sucks
But the main category is shadows
You have a light importance volume
delete that and see if you still get it
Oh, that sky sphere
cloud cobalt
Translucent is extremely expensive because you need to draw two surfaces one after the other, requiring multiple rendering pass, basically the worst case ever. By contrast, masked discards the entire fragments before they even get to the renderer. So there is only a cost in the frontend to the deferred renderer, which is the cheapest part.
ruby chasm
Even without the sky sphere and light imp, it still does it
But,

Hiya team. I'm pretty new to debugging and I just broke my camerapawn. Whats the best way to see why my camera pawn controller isn't firing. My UMG widget nor camera pawn are getting any action and I'm trying to figure out how to do the step through process
UGHHHH
As soon as I typed that an idea came to me. My default game mode changed itself somehow off of my RTS game mode... 4 hours going through bps, adding in print strings and reading up on debugging/ following every node trying to find it hahahaha

does anyone know how to fix that

(Feels awkward intending to ask a question when there's a bunch of unanswered questions above that I can't answer. ๐ )
Except that I agree there should be a channel for finished games and/or demos.
magic garden
@midnight flax Where did you modeled your pistol? Have you tried to open it in other 3d editors, like Blender? Maybe it's a problem in your model?
@devout relic There's a forum for this, but people don't respond much to it. Had you seen it?
midnight flax
i made it im in blender
and its just that all the seperate pieces like the slide and clip import as seperate
devout relic
Yeah, I've seen it, but I'm not too big a fan of forums. I think Discord is nicer and more convinient.
I will go there if you think it's better though. :S

@dusky dove I don't know any, because I don't do mobile, but if you do a quick search on youtube I'm sure you'll find plenty

And I barely know a damn thing about 3D modeling. I'm using sprites.
I figured out how to put my character in a 3d box. That's an A+ for my level.

@midnight flax while the pieces are where they are supposed to be in blender, select all objects then CTRL +A and apply location + rotation, see if that helps at all
devout relic
So I wanted to ask advice and opinions on unbeatable/discouraging bosses.
In the first level of my game, the player is sent to fight a boss attacking his village, but upon doing so finds them to be stupidly strong. Mainly because the combat system is difficult and not explained. I want to tell the player--without having to spell it out for them--that confronting this boss head-on right now isn't what they're supposed to be doing. They're supposed to go instead to the clocktower to get a weapon that can defeat this boss more easily. Veteran players will know how to defeat this boss and should be able to do it easily in a new game, and extremely persistent players could potentially figure it out, but I need to get most players to think "I can't defeat this boss head-on, there must be some kind of power up I have to go get first before I can beat them." rather than "This game is stupidly hard, screw this, I'm going to go eat a tub of ice cream and watch TV."
grim ore
a helpful text message with something like "Your weapon easily glances off the boss due to it's weak power" or something similar to show them that it's not doing well.
magic garden
or some ideas from other characters, as in a RPG
devout relic
Yeah. Makes me wonder if there's anything more clever I could do though.

Hiya guys. I'm trying to learn the "high concepts" or basics of blueprints. So I've made a couple of demo tutorial games now. I'm getting some of the flow down. I'm still trying to understand some of the basics though. Like I completely understand you use a "PawnBP" and then controll it with the "PlayerControllerBP". I get that. But whats the big difference between the two besides that in project settings you pick your controller there? I'm having a hard time understanding why people put which nodes into where and the sequence that they are all called originally and its really slowing down my ability to implement simple mechanics on my own. I don't want to just follow tutorials.

I imported an asset and lost the map, so I re-imported the asset, copied the map to my maps folder and deleted the 2nd imported asset. The map doesn't work because its references are on the one I deleted, not the original one (which would work if references properly)
Any way to re-reference to use my existing folders and not the newly imported ones if the map uses the same assets in both cases?
safe rose
...
Man, you're in some trouble
I'd do a revert
But, if you can't for whatever reason like, you don't have source control
You can reference stuff
Right click on assets and Asset Actions, Replace References
GL tho
@ruby chasm
plush yew
Please welcome @dull swan to the community! :beers:
ruby chasm
I got it to work as long as the asset root folder is in the root of my project. I saved, restarted the editor and then moved the asset folder where I need it to be. The map loads but it's still referencing the folder in the root (because 'moving' folders for some reason leaves copies behind lol)
I just need to redirect the map to the new folder, if I right click and use the replace references
I see this:
Doesn't let me do anything
Unless I do it on the main folder and not the map?
livid haven
Just in case, make sure you don't have the map you're trying to relocate/fix up open.
plush yew
Please welcome @steady elk to the community! :beers:
ruby chasm
@livid haven Ah yeah, I had it open. So do I need to re-do anything now that I'm outside of it?
Repeat the 'move' process?
livid haven
I'm just saying that trying to move assets, especially huge ones like a level, while they're open is a bad idea.
ruby chasm
ffs I just bricked my whole game
ruby chasm
Yeah I deleted one of the main folders but it was the wrong one. Everything I actually did was in it and the other one was pretty much full of empty duplicate folders. When I loaded up the map it said it couldn't find everything it needed, which was the referencing I actually wanted to begin with so while I solved the problem unknowingly, I also deleted everything I did rip
safe rose
@ruby chasm Are you not using Source Control ?
safe rose
^
I mean, if by now you haven't figured out the usefulness of Source Control, you should probably get on that...
ruby chasm
I know it's crucial but I've been learning too many things at once, I haven't gotten around to it (though it should've been one of the first)
So no ๐ฆ
safe rose
Hmm
ruby chasm
It's cool I can probably re-do everything in a full day
livid haven
Well, you just learned another thing. ๐
ruby chasm
The hard way
safe rose
That would be like #1 on any gamedev's list to learn first
livid haven
Never don't use source control.
ruby chasm
Is it hard to set up?
safe rose
No
livid haven
Varies, but some are way easier than others.
safe rose
Well, maybe at first, it might take a little to get used to
But actual setup is pretty simple nowadays
Especially a simple Git Repo
livid haven
I feel like Perforce got way easier in recent years. Relative to itself.
safe rose
Local or Github Repo
ruby chasm
So if I were using source control and I deleted one of my folders outside of the editor, would it be recoverable?
safe rose
Ah
Well I am all about some P4 over Git
But, I didn't know you could do local P4 depots
livid haven
Source control or version control effectively works by backing up files every time you tell it to and tracking the versions.
safe rose
I've always just used my home perforce server for many reasons
livid haven
All it's really doing is setting up a local server.
It just does it all for you with with a really simple setup.
safe rose
You can try out this series
Should give you a decent explanation and walks you through setup
^ use that
livid haven
I find Perforce easier than Git, from a basic usability/UX standpoint.
ruby chasm
I'll look over it , thank you
safe rose
But even Git local repo is pretty simple to setup
livid haven
I don't mean the server setup, just the end user experience.
safe rose
Especially using SourceTree
Yeah, P4 is definitely the way to go for any real production, especially since it handles binary assets like a champ
livid haven
Sync files. Check 'em out. Submit 'em. That's it. With Git you've got checking out, staging, comitting, pushing.
cloud cobalt
Git is more complicated, more powerful.
livid haven
I'd say Git is more complicated, as an end user.
cloud cobalt
Come on, don't be ridiculous.
safe rose
I mean, I haven't really noticed any difference between using either of them
In my workflow anyway
livid haven
You're exposed to a lot more technical jargon and implementation details of the underlying software with Git.
cloud cobalt
If you're only ever doing single-branch, single-client single-server on Git ? Sure
Git gets real heairy real fast
safe rose
I mean, I am in the middle of a 20-branch/merger on my current git repo
livid haven
Even with a 3rd party GUI, you need to be comfortable with CLIs to handle Git beyond the most absolutely trivial operations, unfortunately.
safe rose
Oh, I agree
livid haven
Or so was my experience with SourceTree, which was the best Git client experience I had.
cloud cobalt
I've got years of experience with Git and "simple" is not at all how I would describe it. It's extremely complicated - the notion that your local master branch can become completely unrelated to the remote master branch, for example, is pretty much mind-blowing to everyone at first
livid haven
I wouldn't say that of P4. I've definitely done a handful of P4 operations via CLI, but the overwhelming majority of my... 7 years I think? Of experience with P4 has been just fine using P4V.
safe rose
yeah, I haven't used any other Git Client yet, but I hear GitKraken and a few others are better
@cloud cobalt I can agree on that point
But it's not very different than P4, and not getting latest
cloud cobalt
Rewriting history and pushing it to a remote is pretty wild, too
That's not "simple" no matter how you put it
And it's one of the biggest pros of Git against other VCS
safe rose
and then Reconciling Offline Work
livid haven
And the P4 CLI stuff I've done had been automation, proxying, cloning workspaces and priming them to another workspace's have list, that kind of thing.
safe rose
Aye, but I mean, you can do advanced stuff in either
But, for the majority, most users won't need to use those
cloud cobalt
Git pushes you into "advanced" territory very fast
safe rose
Hmmm, I don't know. Maybe I am just "battle-hardened" by now
Either way, at this point
Recommending any source control is a win
plush yew
Please welcome @vivid beacon to the community! :beers:
cloud cobalt
@safe rose Yeah even SVN is clearly better than nothing
limpid sandal
A quick read of git-scm.com
Will solve most of your issue s
If you don't want to go into deep territory
Stackoverflow can be used
cloud cobalt
Just because there is available documentation doesn't mean it's simple.
For the record I use Git, I recommend Git
limpid sandal
Cmd or intellij if you want a ui 
Bad for binary and resources though
LFS doesn't kinda work well
cloud cobalt
What I'm saying is, not everyone going into UE4 is a programmer, or even a very technical person. Source control is completely unheard of for many, and for others it's just a "backup system".
Perforce is pretty complicated to those, and Git is basically alien
limpid sandal
You're not going to do more than a backup if you're solo
Perhaps a stable branch only
cloud cobalt
Of course you are. Daily commits over years aren't backups, they're history
limpid sandal
Gotta hate asset commits

grim sinew
When you don't want to learn Sequencer
grim sinew
then learn how to use blueprint or a 3d tool that can animate
sequencer and matinee are cinematics tools, not general gameplay
wary wave
I should probably learn to use Sequencer at some point
livid haven
@pallid compass Pretty sure Sequencer replaced Matinee.
wary wave
I still use matinee...
grim sinew
Sequencer is Matinee's replacement, Matinee is considered legacy
livid haven
I don't even know how to access matinee. ๐
grim sinew
it's right under sequencer?
grim sinew
the dropdown from the main toolbar above the viewport, with the giant "cinematics" button
right where it always was since the UE3
grim sinew
sequencer used to be such a broken mess, using it used to be a nightmare
livid haven
Reminds me, wonder what state Niagara is in...

it's a state

Wait, someone's going to troll that one

enable it in plugins and find out.

Not my field though, can't speak much on it.
worn granite
def. not right if you're playing that for gameplay
devout gulch
just use sequencer
worn granite
knowing how to do so for cinematics is different though
devout gulch
it's right for gameplay
I even integrated (well sort of)
sequencer into effects editor for abilities ;
pallid compass
just wondering the weight of
Move from A to B
with mainteeeee
vs doing it in c++ or bp
etc
for gameplay stuff that is
devout gulch
probabaly on the same level
worn granite
sequencer maybe I haven't played with it
matinee ?
not talking about the "weight", continuing my "not for gameplay" statement
pallid compass
yeah i know, but my point was hes telling everyone to use it for like everything
just thought it didnt sound right
i dont really use either of them though
devout gulch
Matinee was really standalone tools used to move objects inside level
using it for anything else except cinemantics is streching
imo
Sequencer in that regard is just tool to animate objects
they might be on level, or might be in actor blueprint
(so you can just drop your Timelines in blueprint)
and use Sequencer instead
it is also heavily used in Niagra
that is when Niagra happens to work for longer than 1 minute
wary wave
there are tons of examples you can find in the launcher

normally you never need to see or think about them though

@mortal mason that seems, strange, so may not be supported out of the box
actually wait ive seen it in a example somewhere
mortal mason
I want to display a texture from an ortographic camera behind my objects for an ar application
plush yew
cant u just use this? https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/UMG/HowTo/Create3DWidgets/
mortal mason
I have been able to fiddle around the engine code to actually set a custom projection matrix for the camera
plush yew
(doesnt have to be a menu afaik, its just a umg element in 3d space)
quasi lake
In unity projects we controll the renderqueue of UI objects' material shader
I dont know how to do in UE
mortal mason
but this will also modify any plane I will create
plush yew
in ue4 u can do that too saltyfish, its how things like outline materials work
@mortal mason check that doc
mortal mason
like what I can do is create a screencapture2d and render my 3d objects in the hud
but my projection matrix wont work then
I'm cursed
@plush yew I said I cannot use 3d widgets
plush yew
why not?
mortal mason
projection matrix
plush yew
seems like it is what u want
i know like, 0% about projection matrix
but a quick look at the docs doesnt raise any red flags
why wouldnt it work with 3d widgets?
did u test that?
mortal mason
its not intended to set the projection matrix in ue4
at least there is no official option ๐
plush yew
ah ๐
mortal mason
ima try this
i actually thought you need to place the widget on a plane
lets try this lol
plush yew
k gl
fairly sure it should work/ive seen floating monitors in ue4 before
and thats bscly what u want, just huge af
mortal mason
augmented reality in ue4 is making me want to rip my hair out
like even the "official" plugins have no precise method for the projection
mortal mason
I have looked at artoolkits source
they dont set the projection matrix
they just make some tweaks to fix at least the x axis
plush yew
ye fair enough i guess, its about the ar logic, not about the visuals
mortal mason
but thats not proper projection
I am making a testcave to test if my code is right
thats why I asked the question
I have a matlab script that gives me exact values and an exported image I can use as background
should be pixel perfect projection - i hope
plush yew
hmmz
theres quite a few ppl sellings plugins for this it seems
@mortal mason maybe check out this: https://github.com/adynathos/AugmentedUnreality
mortal mason
well I write a thesis about it
plush yew
its a open sauce plugin
mortal mason
I will provide for free
Yeah I know that already
they don't set the projection matrix either
plush yew
u sure? "Video displayed in-game"
they must have the video displayed ingame if they make that claim in the feature list
mortal mason
yeah I have literally checked their whole source
mortal mason
they create a plane they render the camera stream on as a texture
thats pretty basic
plush yew
if it works, conclusion could be that you actually dont use projection matrix
hmm
so whats the problem? xP
mortal mason
its hard to explain without showing haha
plush yew
bscly im understanding your problem as 'how do i show the camera behind my 3d ar scene'
mortal mason
if I put my texture on my plane the projection matrix will alter my plane aswell
so I need something that renders my "video stream" in the background
which is not affected by the projection matrix
I have done this in unity but it works different there
plush yew
so then check how they do it in the above project?
plush yew
but they still show the camera output yes?
so then, their approach may be the way forward?
mortal mason
they don't have the problem I have
I will try the 3d widget first and then look into it again
plush yew
okie
plush yew
thats a shame
mortal mason
Wait ima take a screen
plush yew
well idk, my best advice would be to take a long hard look at that linked project u already knew
mortal mason
to show you what my problem is haha
mortal mason
its pretty simple to do it in unity
sadlife.jpg
note that I moved the cube on the second picture to show my projection actually works
I took hardcore values
but basically my widget / plane whatever will also be affected by the matrix
What I need is a second camera that renders the "background" for me
mortal mason
Well I have done something like this in unity before
plush yew
just looking at the first picture the maths seem to confused about where your camera is seeing the marker
did u have to manually set up camera stuffs?
like apeture size and stuff i dont remember
mortal mason
I took random values
plush yew
but yea too me that seems to be the problem and what you should fix instead, theres a mixup going on between where it sees the marker and where it renders the virtual marker/stuff on it
mortal mason
dont worry
first of all I want the texture to display in the background then place the stuff based on my coords
but I can't find a way
plush yew
so you want the camera feed to be centered & visible, and the white cube should be centered above the checkerboard, correct?
or do u want some other feed in between
im confused ๐
or some rendered background scene?
mortal mason
the texture should be fitted to fill the screen yes
and the cube should be displayed on top of the marker
I basically want 2 cameras one which renders my background with orto projection
and the second one that renders my cube with my custom projection matrix
the only setup for this I know currently is orto camera with hud that contains a scenecapture2d but the projection matrix does not work then
