does nativization work while running in the editor or is it just a packaged thing?
weary basalt
Packaged thing.
dire storm
unfortunate but expected
weary basalt
The fact that Nativization exists and works is enough lol
cloud cobalt
It also wouldn't give the editor any performance benefit
dire storm
Oh its fine. I'm not complaining! I'll just have to package and test how many AIs I can spawn as I make progress
so I can find the sweet spot in what I can allow

Hi guys, is there a super nice website that showcases projects of all kinds that are made with unreal? I pretty much like the "made with unity" approach.

This website is pretty nice π
Im sure there is something out there of that descript but im not familiar with one that focuses on UE4 alone.
plush yew
sure thing π but I mean a "super nice website" haha.

@dire storm you should profile performance in cooked builds anyway
profiling in editor is at best overview but nothing to rely on

warm mountain
hey guys
i'm absolutely stumped atm
i'm trying to create imposter cards for the grass but i have no idea how to change the resolution of it
the renders are coming out too blured as seen in the preview
sliding the resolution multiplier seems to have no effect
any ideas what might be wrong?
i'm using the render to texture BP in the art tools
analog sigil
Hey guys anyone know of a reason every time I make a multi layered blend landscape material this happens.
cloud cobalt
Materials
paper cedar
Sooo textures then?
cloud cobalt
No, materials.
Also lighting, post-processing, object count, particles
Textures and triangles are distant concerns most of the time, except on mobile maybe
paper cedar
having a dilemma in making a game character rn(anndd it is for mobile)
can't decide on whether to go for high poly low quality textures or low poly high quality textures
materials are probably set on unlit
cloud cobalt
If you're using unlit materials, performance is probably not going to be a concern
And "high" / "low" poly have varying definitions
paper cedar
guess i'll try making both versions anyways
warm mountain
Stranger technically something that is 6k polys with 4k textures in that sense
would still be less expensive in processing vs something that is 1k with 1k textures but has multiple maps inflouencing the lighting?
assuming the 6k poly 4k texture mesh is completely unlit
and only has a diffuse
cloud cobalt
6k unlit triangles will be faster than 1k lit triangles
4k textures might be an issue on mobile
cloud cobalt
For a character ?
cloud cobalt
For world geometry, just use baked lighting
warm mountain
alrighty
cloud cobalt
You'll get basically the same performance as a baked diffuse
warm mountain
gotcha
right now I'm also trying to replace my grass with imposter cards
using the render to texture BP so it looks more dynamic than a billboard for the curved ones
having a resolution problem though
Solved it
In case anyone is stuck with it too
I reduced the number of imposter cards per render
and exported them out batch by batch
while manually rotating them to new positions

I'm a complete beginner to game making in general. I've only ever messed around in game maker. But I was curious about the general work flow in 3d. To my understanding you model externally in blender or something like it and all of the animations and texturing is done within unreal engine itself?
And are animations done in a timeline type fashion or are they just generated during the game through scripting
surreal viper
animations are created in third party software as well (e.g. in blender, yep)
it is timeline based
you just define poses for time frames and interpolate between them
outer wren
Oh ok. But texturing is done with UE
Or is it normal for people to texture in blender and UE sees that an will do it's own thing with them
plush yew
Texturing is done in software like Photoshop or Substance Painter/Designer
surreal viper
+that yep, and you create a material in unreal which uses the texture(s)

You can also right click and duplicate.

text is obviously easier
ya and then click everytime you wanna edit...
in text you dont need to click

you use arrow keys

And that's faster than clicking?

ionic sedge
I use a tablet so clicking anywhere is effortless.
plush yew
press arow up and edit a letter inyour message
here in discord
its very easy
no imamge first clicking on it with the mouse..... a very slow mouse..
did you ever program?
ionic sedge
You can right click your message and click Edit Message too, not much harder.
Not really, but I write python scripts.
ionic sedge
No. π
plush yew
even first grabbing the mouse take slonger than just use arrow keys
ionic sedge
And it's impossible to edit messages higher than your last one using the arrow keys too.
ionic sedge
You were the one that brought up Discord. π
ionic sedge
But it's the same in normal programming, if you want to go up 10 lines, you need to spam the up arrow.
Or just click there. π
plush yew
main topic os programming
example is discord as a user case
you are mmuch faster with 10 up key....
ionic sedge
If that's the case you probably need a better mouse. π
plush yew
then to grab your mouse, then go to the goal, and then try to click on the exact position.
good luck with that if your font isn't 20 px wide
i have a logitech g 502 bro
who do you think i am? oO
π i am not a amateur
ok.. shifty_face
ionic sedge
But I don't really remember how using a mouse felt like, I just use my tablet for everything, it's way better for the hand too.
And I usually hold the pen between my thumb and index finger when typing instead of placing it somewhere, that way it's easy to go back to clicking somewhere.
Of course using a keyboard would be faster in something like VIM or Emacs though, if you know that stuff.
Anyway, that has nothing to do with BP, I think that works fine. π
ionic sedge
Well for clicking, I write the code with a keyboard...
And I don't mean a tablet like a windows tablet or whatever, I mean a pen tablet input device.

Is anybody know how to use HEX color value to set parameter value via blueprint
outer wren
@surreal viper it honestly depends on the artist
plush yew
Why are the rocks there got lighting
ionic sedge
@severe glen You can do it in the color picker, but I don't think you can do it in a set parameter node.
You would have to write your own parser for hex values.
Not too hard though, just a few switch on string or whatever (0-F) and some math.
severe glen
yeah I think theres no any node convert to rgb . I will use split node for r,g,b π
ionic sedge
You could write your own function that takes a string input of hex values (6 letters), splits them into 3 pairs of 2, then finds the value of each one (16*value of first letter+value of second letter)
Or 8 I guess if you want alpha too.
Then make a linear color struct from that.
severe glen
I achived it get rgb from web color picker via WebSocket

Its working set vector parameter value

safe rose
But since you can drop a Material on BSPs, why not
severe glen
I want change color in game . but I think blueprint doesnt allow me to do it
ionic sedge
You need a dynamic material instance to do that.
severe glen
I checked parameter value . Its changing but in game doesnt change anything..
the watch value is green color
ionic sedge
Your color values are way too high.
They are 0-1.
So 255 would be 1 for example.
You can use a Map Range Clamped if you need to convert 0-255 to 0-1.
severe glen
Should I divide 100 the values ?

guys im having really trouble just rotating a material
π¦
and scaling
adding a tex coordinate node but it's only scaling the texture, not the bump map and others
any way to scale and rotate the entire thing?
grim ore
are you putting the output from the tex coordinate node into the other textures as well? the bump and such
half mango
no i'll try that i guess but
grim ore
other than that you might be able to turn the material into a function then put that function into another material then scale/rotate the output from there
half mango
it seems completely insane to me that to simply rotate and scale the material u gotta add 12-13 parameters?
grim ore
you only need 1 tex coord node that you would plug into all the other nodes you want adjusted
grim ore
if you want a texture to be changed, you need to change it basically. You have 3 separate items each with it's own settings that you have control over so yes you would plug it into all 3 if you want all 3 changed.
It needs to be this way because you might have various different scales for say micro and macro texturing
half mango
ok
what about UV and heightmap
they dont need that right?
so i add a multiplier to each sample
then 1 tex coordinate
attaching to all 3?
grim ore
where are you adding in the tex coordinate node?
grim ore
chances are you can do your scaling after the mapping node
since that is feeding into all your other nodes directly
half mango
mapping node?
grim ore
PoM
grim ore
you have a UV input on the PoM node, have you tried adjusting it in there? using the tex coord node and the multiply?
it's been a long time since I've used that node so I forgot most of it π¦
half mango
UVs (V2)?
grim ore
yeah
half mango
ill need multiplier?
grim ore
maybe make a tex coord node, multiply the output by whatever you want, then plug that result in there see what happens?
half mango
its empty, texcoord can go striaght in right?
grim ore
you dont need a multiplier but then you have to adjust the tex coord by hand and it cant be a parameter in an instance. If you dont need to do it like that then yes you can plug it in directly and edit it directly in the material.
half mango
hmmm
so if i create new instance on this material
and have multiplier, i can change it in that new instance ?
why multiplyer makes it do that?
UE is confusing π
grim ore
instances let you adjust any parameter at runtime or easily at edit time
grim ore
yep, check out the info on material instances if you ever get to the point you want to adjust it easier or at run time later π
half mango
also if i wanna to rotate the texture
the material
ill add a rotator into the UV too?
with a multipler
cus the tex too
grim ore
look at the custom rotator node
here is an example picture you can look at, you would plug in your tex coord into that node and then that node would rotate it and that plugs into the UV on the PoM instead of the tex coord
half mango
and this pallax system is with every material ill download?
i can do the same with each?
ahh damn
it's sstill not right anyway
its scaled the main texture
but there is still big bump parts
it hasnt scaled
damn
ohh
nvm
i had unplugged something
hmm
@grim ore thanks man, u have fixed what i want

you gotta make sure you include the redistributable installer when you package

how do i detect and hit event from a gpu particles onto a mesh ? Anybody ?
dire storm
@fierce tulip He's the particle guru. Did you check youtube/google/official documentation?
@still solar First search result from youtube. This what you looking for?
still solar
thanks, I checked the particule tut for live training but to no answer... i'll check the mvp series and see thansk
triggering an event when a specific object get hit by gpu particules , ( seed getting water on, after a certain amount of water, grow ?)
the key would be to have the gpu particles trigger on hit event on mesh
fierce tulip
you can only trigger events on non gpu particles afaik
still solar
thank luos,..
dire storm
So why not have something like besides the gpu particles trigger the event you want. I'm sure there's a somewhat simple way to set that up.
fierce tulip
^
dire storm
You know where your GPU particles are coming from and where they are gonna end up?
dire storm
so say in your example its water pouring from a cup. You have to click on the on the plant right? Add event under cursor. That kinda thing. Get hit results through some other means besides the GPU and just fine tune it until it matches what you need.
still solar
yop , from can to seed... particles get active base on can rotation angle.. VR set up, holding the can
and drip drip
frosty copper
You could easily use a cylindrical raytrace for that?
dire storm
You can set it up so that every time its "watered" it increases a growth multiplier.
still solar
i can use distance from can + and is a can pouring water and ...
dire storm
^ raytrace would be a good idea. There's tons of different ways you can do this and a lot of tutorial material on how to implement the events. Just setup everything how you want the event to work. Then fine tune it so it matches with the particle effects
dire storm
@still solar I'm no expert by any stretch. I just watch tutorials and fumble my way through it π

@safe rose Hey man If you dont want to help thats cool. But I'm trying to get this worked out so...
@worn granite When you first setup a depot you are mapping files to it from a wrokspace folder. Super easy. My issues is that when I set up a second depot on the same server and then try and create a new workspace to link to it, it fails.
I have an error 1 sec
file(s) not in client view
worn granite
Hm.
bitter edge
I cant seem to get them to map properly
worn granite
Yeah I wasn't real sure what you meant. I don't really play with multiple depots though.
bitter edge
We didnt untill today
worn granite
But how are you creating your new workspace?
bitter edge
Fair question
I've tried a few different ways. The most basic way is I just click on the workspace tab and create a new one. Then I set the workspace root, and what depots to include or exculde.
I go to add files and bam
file(s) not in client view.
I'm no P4V wizzard so I might be doing something wrong.
worn granite
Yeah I'm not gonna waste your time - sorry I can't be of any help here. Seems like I've gotten that error but I don't use multiple depots
safe rose
You should probably check your config
livid haven
Well, you did chew someone out when you were using the wrong terminology... so you're probably doing something wrong. π
safe rose
then ensure that the workspace name is correct
follow up to all that, ensure that the client and workspace in your config are set when you switch depots
Then properly set
the config
you will have to do this each time you switch for obvious reasons
This is usually more an issue when using streams however
BTW, I have three depots on the same home server.
Ensure that permissions are set appropriately
in P4admin
bitter edge
@worn granite Thanks for takeing the time to listen instead of just spaming google links. π
livid haven
Victor and I aren't particularly chummy, but now you're just being shitty when he actually is trying to help, despite however rude his initial efforts were.
safe rose
Well, you could have easily found that out by Googling though, so I don't know why everyone is up in arms about Google
worn granite
I did think it might be perms but assumed it'd be something more multi-depot specific
IIRC default perms shouldn't restrict people to any one depot
bitter edge
Hmm
worn granite
The config thing stikes me as weird - maybe I'd check the environment settings (which you can do from the UI) - but I'd expect p4 to not require me to follow up on changing my workspace. I don't really use multiple workspaces/depots though so maybe that's my inexperience there.
safe rose
Well, your Env Settings come from your config

Yes indeed
is there like a wizzard to add files that I'm missing...

The issue is that your depot

Drop an text file in the directory of your Workspace

I mean that other people are hesitant to answer yes when they don't know what they'll be roped in to if they say yes.
violet lake
Nah man, I get what you're saying
livid haven
Nah, it's fewer messages if you just ask - it's what everyone's here for.
violet lake
Cool, thanks for the heads up
livid haven
So, whatcha need?
violet lake
Well, any time I make a new blueprint and make a change to it, even a simple one like checking a box, I get this "unrecognized tab" when I try to re-open it later
Happens even in a blank project wiht no starter content. I've tryied verifying unreal and even reinstalling and it still happens
for reference, here's a before pic of a blueprint
Change anything, and "unrecognized tab"
violet lake
it's the newest version, 4.17.2 I beleive
livid haven
That's super strange. I have never seen that particular behavior.
Unrecognized tab? Yes.
That's basically a saved layout for windows getting loaded up, but the windows/tabs for which it was saved don't exist/can't be found.
But why that would be happening when you edit a blueprint? Beyond strange.
safe rose
I have gotten that stupid error also
just close it and move on
4.17 is riddled with bugs
if you close your bp, and reopen
should go back to normal
violet lake
happens even after closing the bp.
Basically: new bp > open > make a change> close > reopen > unrecognized tab
violet lake
I"m gonna reinstall an earlier version to see if that fixes it. Although someone on reddit said it might be a video driver issue
livid haven
Whoever said it's a video driver issue doesn't know what the hell they're talking about. π
I know exactly what that is, I just don't know what is triggering that to happen.
Y'know how you can rearrange editor tabs around and they'll open up like you left them? It's that.
For whatever reason, that layout is being reset when you change stuff in a BP, and the data it's loading up for the saved layout has tab ids that don't correspond to anything that is registered for the layout that it's trying to load for.
IE: Some code registers a "BPPaletteTab" for example and that id gets saved to the layout file on disk, but if the BP editor tries to load that up and "BPPaletteTab" is no longer registered as a spawnable tab by the BP editor, then a tab will get spawned... with a generic "unrecognized tab" message in it.
So the layout file just contains a mapping of tab id to some tab layout data structure, the tab layout code loads it and looks for a registered tab data structure with that id and if it exists, it'll use that data structure to fill in the tab's content widgets.
But again, no clue how editing a BP would cause a reload of layout.
You could try nuking your layout files which are located in...
Engine\Saved\Config\Windows\EditorLayout.ini
Layout file. Just one.
Deleting that should clear out any potential bad state, if it's a problem with a corrupted layout file.
safe rose
That's a very interesting issue
livid haven
But it may not be. π€· Could be something wrong with the actual code in 4.17 messing it up at runtime.
safe rose
If that doesn't work, or if Reset Layout is the same thing as deleting that .ini
livid haven
Yep. Don't know where that option is though. :X
safe rose
Try to Reset Layout
livid haven
Hell, someone could have changed something about the BP editor layout in code, which usually requires that you manually increment the version number of the name of the layout so that it totally ignores the exist saved one, but forgotten to change that bit.
UnrealEd_Layout_v1.4=( "Type": "Layout", "Name": "UnrealEd_Layout_v1.4", "PrimaryAreaIndex": 0, "Areas": [ ( and so on, as seen in the INI. The "version" is nothing but part of the name.
livid haven
If someone changes it and forgets to bump that number in the name, then the new data structure in code may not match what's saved in your INI, which it will try to load due to matching names, and end up with unrecognized tabs or just an unintuitive layout.
Shouldn't be the case though, or it'd be busted when you open the BP editor at all - obviouslly it has to be loadng up the layout then or it wouldn't know where to put any of those tabs.
violet lake
Did a fresh install of unreal 4.17 and even epic games launcher, issue still persists. tried resetting the layout, still the same
even making a new BP and just closing and opening it causes the issue
however resetting the layout will get me the 'class defaults" tab, but if I close the tab and reopen the BP I just get a blank window
plush yew
Does anyone know any 3D starter game tutorial series (for beginners)
uneven fractal
violet lake
weird though, after resetting with the 'class defaults' tab, I can get an option to open the full editor
which then opens everything back up
I'm tryting to recreate the issue atm to see if this is a fix
That seems to have been the fix, resetting the layout 3 times. I get the unrecognized tab at the start, but if I hit ful. editor everything stays kosher. Doesn't feel like a satisfying fix though
But thanks for all the help everyone

wary wave
morning folks, I'd like some advice about an implementation problem I'm working on
I have a spline, and I'm placing meshes down it's length - what I would like to do is do a little bit of analysis on the spline shape and determine which meshes would fit in the next section
i.e if I have a tight bend in the spline, the long meshes wouldn't be good fits
at the moment I'm taking mesh length, and getting the theoretical start, middle and end locations as points, treating it as a triangle and calculating the most significant altitude / base ratio, but it doesn't seem to be working too well for me as it's hard to control
gloomy horizon
perhaps instead of using plain old meshes use actors
and define a "center" point in the actor
wary wave
that wouldn't really solve my problem (and they couldn't be actors anyway, since this is happening in construction script, and there are thousands of these meshes in a given level)
they are HISMs
I think the question is more related to having a good way to determine if a mesh is too long to comfortably fit a given section of spline on account of the splines curvature
might try comparing start-to-mid gradient and mid-to-end gradient
just need to work out how to reasonably compare 3d gradients xD
devout gulch
do these meshes have tile texture in one direction (like wall or something ?) or they just not connected at all ? In first case it cloud be easier to let the meshes defrom and handle it at material level to keep look at reasonable level
wary wave
the meshes don't deform, they are HISMs
I don't think any of the meshes we have at the moment have tiling materials though (nor do I expect them to), so that in itself is not a problem
kind pumice
Is there a way to make a timeline not update while its paused?
or I guess to generally check to see if its paused?
wary wave
shouldn't update when paused, what's the problem?
kind pumice
let me double check my sanity, but I'm pretty sure its continuing to update while paused lol
lol nevermind, I was all kinds of confused

oooh or an iPad. Get one of the new iPad pro with the pen and you can draw your blueprints

I really wish I could recommend a mac to be honest. If they added a decent GPU in a base model it would be easy to just go "get the new imac blah" or whatever as a baseline

it's for i9 7900X (10-core) π
it should be quick

13 seems about right. I think I am around 20 on my 6 core 5820k for an editor build from source

Hmm which room would cover some legal questions?
I have a question, how close can someone get to other game without getting in trouble?? How similar my game can be to other game and still be released with no issues? Could i make an original IP that's kind of spiritual sucessor to other game that i don't have rights to etc??
cinder minnow
depends of the guys owning the game I guess...
fierce pecan
game mechanics are not protected, but you can't make it feel like it's part of the same franchise
fierce pecan
you shouldn't go for exact in either case
you can make a platformer like mario, but if the visuals are similar to mario then you have a problem
if you took mario's mechanics, but it was a scifi game, that'd likely be fine
though you should make something distinctively different so that you're not being derivative.
trim silo
See, the game in question is an original classic spyro the dragon, it's a quite simple 3d adventure game that i love and i grown up with, i'm currently making a personal remake project "for fun" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnFDZt3-8Wc&t=62s , but i'm now seriously considering creating my own adventure game out of it
basically i would like to create an original IP but with the same core mechanics
fierce pecan
I mean those mechanics are pretty simple
but you should be careful of the style, and the set of abilities
trim silo
i also always loved dragons, and would love to have a dragon as main character as well, do you think it would be too far? or can only one game have a dragon character
he would look different of course etc, but would be similar to spyro
fierce pecan
it should be very different visually
and you need to have some mechanics that are very different
trim silo
but it seems that glide, double jumps etc are pretty common in other games as well right?
fierce pecan
sure, but cartoony dragon with the exact same set of abilities as Spyro is treading too closely to that IP
you can't make something that is trying to be an imposter of the original work, to fool people into thinking it's the same IP.
And you can't just lift the recipe of the original exactly.
like, if you added RPG elements to the character, that'd be something
or give him a combo melee system
or different movement mechanics
or a very different art style
trim silo
that is one of ideas, having different abilities to be unlocked through progression, as well as maybe changing the cosmetics, kkind of customising your own dragon
fierce pecan
I'd avoid customization, that's a feature creep that is generally not worth the payoff for indie projects
fun mechanics + interesting objectives > customization
trim silo
as customisation i mean just slight edits like "skins" so you might unlock red dragon skin after completing a game etc
totally optional
trim silo
yeah π it's just an idea that would make it different from spyro
soo some similarities would be ok but don't go over the top i guess
fierce pecan
one rule of thumb is that if you have to ask, then you should do more to make it different
trim silo
Yeah, but i'm thinking how much different it have to be, i mean the game will be totally different, stylized graphics etc, current gen obviously, but the core mechanics would be similar and the layout of the workd
world*, there would be hub levels with sub levels
collectibles
and a dragon main character
but that already seems quite similar to spyro and that's what i wasn't sure about
fierce pecan
maybe look at other games with hub worlds, and how they are distinct mechanically
like Donkey Kong 64
or Mario 64
Banjo & Kazooie
perhaps you swap dragon characters like in DK64?
trim silo
from what i seen they are all really similar and the main characters are usually the only difference
fierce pecan
Maybe a little metroidVania in the hub world structure?
trim silo
but the thing is i just LOVE dragons and i would love dragon main character
fierce pecan
have multiple dragon characters?
trim silo
and spyro seems to be an only adventure game with dragon running on 4 legs
fierce pecan
you could have elemental dragon characters
trim silo
: d so i wonder if activision seen that my game got sucessful for example, they would be liek "omg he copied our IP" and i would get done
fierce pecan
you could do a bipedal Wyrm dragon, that breathes lightning bolts
dire storm
or ya know.. make a fart dragon that shoots lightning out his bottom. Thats fresh!
fierce pecan
lol
I actually think that the DK64 structure, with swappable dragon characters, each with their own set of abilities would actually be pretty different from Spyro.
dire storm
Think of it this way... you can even have a story behind it. The evil bad guy broke his wings but your hero dragon adapted and now gets to fly by fart propellent that lets him get high enough to glide. But he has to find peppers and gassy pickups to keep his gas meter charged.
fierce pecan
have jalapenos as the fuel for the fire breathing, lol
trim silo
xd
dire storm
you can find a toxic gas pickup.. then his farts melt his victims
fierce pecan
the tone can also help separate your project from the inspiration IP.
dire storm
yeah. A fart dragon sets a good tone
although I would go full out with the voice acting. Its important to have good screams and terror to respond to dying by dragon fart. Player interaction is important π
You'll probably want mocap also. So you can really get the writhing in pain nailed down π

You can't build a dedicated server with a purely BP project, you'll need to build the engine from source and make some build file changes to do so
You can still do most of your logic in BP (if what you need is exposed), it's just that the building process itself needs to be done with a little bit more than pure BP
If you're still interested, here's a pretty comprehensive guide on the topic: https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Dedicated_Server_Guide_(Windows_%26_Linux)

@Kojiro#8889 have a look at sockets- youβll need to create a socket on the skeleton, using the mesh preview to line up the hammer nicely. Then you can simply attach the hammer to the socket when picked up.

What is this? https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/learn-alt#
some kind of easter egg?
dire storm
Just had a random question in my head... is prebaked lighting done before the game ships? Is it done every time the game is opened or what? How do games handle patches where they edit terrain or add stuff in if its all prebaked before it ships? Just off the top of my head. I haven't looked into this yet but it came to mind when thinking about precedural generation of maps during runtime.
next badger
@dire storm no, ofc no, light baking only possible with the editor (swarm), lightmaps are just textures
dire storm
hmm okay
So if its a game with a procedurally generated dungeon or something of the like... How do they handle lighting for games like that? Where the map build hasn't been made yet
next badger
@dire storm buld lighting in preview mode until final ship
@dire storm in procedurally generated dungeon it's probably not possible to bake lighting, or you have to use some tricks
it's beed discussed many times on forums and on answer hub

buoyant echo
Ahhh you're amazing @next badger
dire storm
hmm so if I'm gonna go down the route of doing a top down game and scaling everything to say.. 50%. Should everything be scaled down (asset wise) while making it in blender or just use BPs to scale it to 50%? The tutorials I'm following use BPs to scale down the assets
next badger
@buoyant echo just FYI there are themes for most of the website's parts https://userstyles.org/users/501227
@dire storm do not scale outside ue4...
@dire storm you could rescale the asset on it's properties (and hit reimport) or right in the viewport, but that would add scale factor
buoyant echo
Why shouldn't you have items pre-scaled outside of UE4?
Wouldn't it make it easier?
Also, thank you for that!
next badger
@buoyant echo it's better to have assets in the size it's intended to be in viewport...i.e. if main character is 2cm tall, you better to make it 2m tall, otherwise its will be too small in engine and tolerances may hit...
same for huge objects, it's not very wise to import a mesh that 200Km wide
buoyant echo
Hm...
next badger
it's only the matter of math, roundings etc
buoyant echo
I guess that makes sense. Doesn't scaling things down in-engine also cause issues?
next badger
it will, if you go too far, but it's much simpler to scale down skeletal mesh in engine than in blender/maya/3dsmax
and if you hit tolerances - faster to revert
i'm not sure, but iirc FBX stores vertex positions as relative and then multiplies them byt the factor
dire storm

Whats your question?

how much performance do 4k textures hit
if very hard, then what way there is is to reduce them to 2k without something bad happening
hello?
upper flame
Does anyone use Substance Painter here? @ me if you reply
weary hull
texture size hit probably depends on the gpu ram
tall pendant
The target platform(s) should also be taken into consideration when thinking about 4k textures.
first thing is ofc the Question: "Do i really need 4k Textures?"
frank escarp
you dont
its not that much about performance, but about space
a single 4k texture is 64 megabytes
now, you can author the textures at 4k
and just downsize them ingame
by setting the max resolution to 2k or similar
to get the best texture quality, you need to use the proper compression settings and similar stuff
frosty copper
I think the only time a 4K texture made much sense (beyond extremely high definition) was the guy who made a level out of a single texture
or maybe if you were doing some crazy texture Atlasses
shrug meh. either way I'm clockin' off for the ni-...morning. take care guys! π
grim sinew
As long as you keep to the mindset of 512 texel density, you can do whatever with your textures and it'll still be reasonable. Some objects just need it depending on complexity. Saying things like "You never need a 4k texture" is like saying "You never need X polygons" or "You never need Y to be dynamic". It's all situational, use your best judgement.
There's always going to be a need where you actually need a 4k texture, sometimes even more, that's why people are turning to dynamic material layering and UDIMs

it was actually a 1024 texture
