Is occlusion culling automatically taking place in my scene
Or do I need to implement it
fiery harbor
@plush yew its done by UE4, likely better than you could ever implement it
fiery harbor
@frosty copper its such a basic thing, I can't imagine that any game developer really wants players to have access to all movies that exist in the game in such a simple way. if they would at least be part of the pak file...
plush yew
Btw love all of your work, inspiring to see a community like this
frosty copper
Aye, I agree @fiery harbor . Just looking up the issue people assume videos get converted to Paks. Probably why I've seen the occasional youtube video instead.
fiery harbor
@frosty copper not sure what you mean? "occasional youtube video"?
fiery harbor
you mean youve seen the game ingame plays a youtube video instead of loading it from disk?
frosty copper
Aye, that is correct~
fiery harbor
well, ok, I wouldn't do that, can't expect people to have internet
frosty copper
Yeah. Makes sense for online games, not so much offline ones.
fiery harbor
its not even possible to give the files are different file extension
ue4 only plays them with the correct extension

@meager dove if licence don't state that you can use them only in Unity then you free to use them anywhere (or rether Unity lawyers won't able to stop you doing so), ofcorse as long you follow other rules of licence

erm, just tried to open my project on my laptop, and ... none of the content is available in the editor
it's in my filesystem, but nothing in the editor itself.
hmm, the project is from windows. I wonder if the files are all messed up because... windows
fierce tulip
something went wrong prolly, ive copied multiple projects back and fort and so far havent had problems
serene otter
very odd. I pulled it from github. I'll try repulling
hmm, it's complaining about rebuilding a plugin. I wonder if a failure there is messing up the editor
the plugin is only built for windows, but according to the author, should build fine on mac
I may have to manually build it before loading the project
looks like it built correctly
nope :\
pulled in the project settings, but nothing else
wow, even git says the files are right
(git integration in the editor, I mean)

guys does someone know a university called full sail?
plush yew
man
is it just me
or are both the ark dev kit and conan exiles editor both crap
lol
like i see so many threads on the forums about it just crashing randomly
and my pc isnt shit... literally my processor is only 3 months old and my graphics card is a 1080, and thefiles are on an ssd
so like idk heh
livid haven
@carmine wind Yep. What about it?
I wouldn't call it prestigious by any means, but it's sure as hell pretty well known.
obsidian nimbus
all open world games are random pieces of code held together by spaghetti
carmine wind
i just talked with the university and i getting more info
plush yew
livid haven
@carmine wind TL;DR: Went there, took it seriously, got my shit done, stayed ahead of the courses by a month or two, graduated salutatorian, that was about 7 years ago, I've been working with (not for) Epic for the past 5 years, both on the engine/editor and on Fortnite.
Like 99% of people who graduate Full Sail don't end up doing anything more than working on awful Facebook games, mobiles games they hate, or casino/bar gambling games.
Talking about the game related degrees obviously.
livid haven
They're all mostly kind of shit.
Digipen at least seems to carry some prestige.
FSU is mostly decent to fast track/jump start. 2 years, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, year round.
plush yew
What did you learn while there?
livid haven
Get your shit done, learn the fundamentals, keep refining it and teaching your self more than what you're given, and you're a decent, passable game development software engineer in 2 years.
plush yew
Like, did you work with an engine? Or was it more lower level stuff like learning graphics libraries
livid haven
C++, C#, software engineering principles and architecture, bit of assembly, the DirectX APIs, OpenGL, linear algebra, 3D physics and collision detection
Dealing with embedded software, like not having a C++ runtime and having to directly access memory addresses to do things on a Gameboy Advanced.
Operating systems stuff, so processes and threads and multithreading, locking , etc.
Little bit of Maya, just the most basic familiarity.
livid haven
It's sort of a 2 year crash course in game development.
If you only do the assigned work, you're barely competent.
And you're competing with something between 10 and 60 new graduates from the same degree every single month of every year.
plush yew
Isn't it EXTREMELY expensive though?
livid haven
So... if you're not going to try to beat the average, you're going to end up being the 99% of graduates who never work on game or at a company they can have any pride in.
plush yew
Also, did you find it worth while?
livid haven
IIRC, it was something like 70K USD total back in 2010?
Er, 2008.
For a bachelor's degree in science (not computer science), which is normally a 4 year degree.
There are no dorms. You just rent a place like everyone else close to campus.
So, cost is hard to calculate.
You have to account for the fact that you're ostensibly cutting 2 years of lead time off of getting in to the field and making money.
And 2 years less of living expenses during college.
plush yew
I mean from my experience, a comp science degree is a lot more of physics, and math oriented. One of my friends who just got his bachelors in computer science told me how he still didn't know how to program, but he understood computer archetecture and the concepts faily well... Like, he could basically write some code but couldn't begin to tell me how to debug, or how to organize projects..etc
livid haven
But, you also can't afford the time to work even a part time job.
That's been my general impression of traditional comp sci degrees - tons of theory and jack shit practice.
plush yew
Yeah
livid haven
Where as the game dev bachelor degree is the opposite. Way more practical.
Within 3 months of starting, you're writing C++ code daily.
By about 6 - 9 months, you've either switched degrees or dropped out of the school entirely, as that's about the end of the courses that teach and test fundamental programming skills and knowledge.
plush yew
I have like two friends who have engineering degrees (well, one is just about done), and they come to me for programming help sometimes. I think it's mostly because one did mechanical engineering and the other is doing electrical engineering.
livid haven
If you can't handle pointers and bit shifting and polymorphism by then, you're screwed.

But ya
27,000 shaders left!!
@livid haven Do you like OGL or DX better btw?
In terms of how hard/easy it is/was to learn.
plush yew
Yeah?
livid haven
Nevermind that it performs better.
plush yew
I tried to learn directx, but didn't understand much of what I was looking at and couldn't find anything that was up to date to read about lol
Most of the information I was finding was pretty old
livid haven
It's largely the same as OpenGL, but actually made OOP.
These tutorials have been maintained for like a decade and are still relevant today: http://www.directxtutorial.com/LegacyList.aspx

Looks like some of his stuff is paid
"Premium Tutorial"
Not sure if its $50 for JUST the one tutorial, or for all
Probably all

Never used any "premium" tutorials.
I just referenced his stuff and tweaked it to experiment and learn, almost a decade ago now.

anyone else have problems with unreal opening at a different size that was last used?

I got an acceptable workaround for making movies not super easily being playable by the player by just going into the movies directory and double clicking them...
I give my movies a .bmp file extension now and I made UE4 accept that as a video
and of course no one will think that a .bmp file is a movie, though its of course still perfectly playable in vlc 😄

@plush yew learning fundamentals of CG first helps. Like how do you draw a 3D object in software without DX or OpenGL. Most of the old tutorials are still relevant, DX changed significantly between 9.x and 11.x but most of the knowledge is still applicable.
Good book on DX or OpenGL will start with explaining pipeline, if you understand that - the rest will be just details.

That's the BSP goblin, he's stealing your geometry.
You need to be more careful with how you handle brushes, because your current workflow is introducing geometry errors
generally speaking, I would be careful to avoid overlaps, and careful when using brush clipping

fierce tulip
google has a great amount of tutorials for ue4
plush yew
@Aqq#0515 hey man, sorry about Luos. There's a great amount of tutorials on Unreal but a lot of it will involve a lot of reading.
I suggest you should first think about what it is that you wantw to study up on, and from there you could focus further on what it is you want to learn.

@limpid star yeah, it kinda goes with the territory of game development

@fierce tulip That's great to know 😃

@clever mountain start with BP first, it helps to learn API before you start using c++. And as Luos said there are plenty of tutorials all over the place. Check Unreal Engine channel on YouTube.
and there is C++ UE4 course on Udemy, but it can be challenging if you don't have any UE4 experience.
clever dawn
First Question in the chat 😃 I have gone through the UE4 tutorials on BP and ABP. I have succesfully imported character(myown) and setup Idle/walk/run + jump states.
Now that I have setup the punching, the top of the arms are not animating properly, like they are not skined. But in all other animations they work fine.
Would a video snippet help?

Not sure where to ask this - Games such as DiRT Rally, which have large maps/sections, would the track be loaded in completely, or load in as you drive further into the map/level, using LOD along the way?
minor wigeon
id assume it would load the entire level... and the roads are likely built using a spline
wary wave
the roads / entire tracks are usually modelled in an external package actually
minor wigeon
Racing games are based on speed after all so Loading as you go will just annoy most players cause of the partial delay that can come with it
silent frost
OK, thanks. That helps alot with an idea I have 😃
minor wigeon
id get that for terrains @wary wave but that would lead to really iritating bug fixes later <.< A spline system just for the roads/paths at least allows for corrections later on without recreating the entire map
wary wave
you'd be surprised
tools like Houdini have excellent workflow
but also you get a much greater level of detail when handling that stuff by hand in an external application
frank escarp
creating a procedural road in houdini is hella easy
minor wigeon
most the stuff i do for games is character related so Map stuff is only off what people i work with say.
saying that i am trying to get more in to prototyping content <.<
frank escarp
and you can setup in a way that it works in ue4 editor
silent frost
Following the same route as the UE BP Time attack tutorial, that uses sections, to allow for quick track creation, so I wonder whether they do something similar, and then add in the scenery
wary wave
if you were specifically making a rally game as an example, I'd not be surprised if you wrote some custom Max / whatever scripts to assist workflow
whitebox first with all the important details, background scenery etc likely comes a lot later
silent frost
Cool - thanks for the replies. Certainly food for thought
minor wigeon
id start with the car in a flat space then add in some obsticles for it to interact with... test suspension/ grip ext... then setup how it interacts with different materials (wet, dry, frosty).
then worry about the map creation later
plush yew
Is there any good tutorials on how to make a full game ?
silent frost
Yeah, that's kinda my train of thought. I'm really new to it all so little steps. The tutorial will be a great basis, as it covers a lot, plus there's a good physics turotial on the Unreal site too
minor wigeon
@plush yew no... however : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z06QR-tz1_o&list=PLhyKYa0YJ_5C6QC36h5eApOyXtx98ehGi is a good place to get your started
silent frost
@plush yew There are a good number of tutorials on the Unreal site which will give you a strong foundation for a full game, but they won't be complete. It'll allow you to open your mind up to opportunity. Some Udemy courses do the same.
Extra Credits have some brilliant information
minor wigeon
❤ watching them when im doing character sculpting/texturing
best place to start is say "What am i good at", then use that to give yourself a basis to expand on.
give your self a big idea then cut it down to its basics and then break that down and whittle down through the checklist... starting with basics like movement, then add on features till you have something your happy with
silent frost
That's always one of my biggest flaws.....trying to run before I can walk :p
minor wigeon
same... last year i wanted to do this big project and i managed to actually do something decent over like 3 weeks... then i wanted to add in more features but need to Rework ALL my animations and i just stopped working on it :/
planning on doing a new project soonish and slowing down features that require animations and just do them as i go <.<
Learn from your mistakes
silent frost
Sounds like a good plan
minor wigeon
or atleast adapt
silent frost
Yeah, atleast I've learnt that
minor wigeon
my plan is to dedicate a few hours every day in to animation but atleast block them out early so i can work on content... and giving myself a few months to get my first iteration out
silent frost
I've not had any interaction with animation but I can imagine that it requires a LOT of time, even for first iteration
minor wigeon
an animator at Pixar is expected to do around 10 seconds of animation a week
silent frost
WOW! That's incredible if you think about feature length films.
minor wigeon
Yeah... you basically get given a scene to create over 3 years
silent frost
I don't know whether my perfectionist nature would be good for animation LOL. I'd never get 10 seconds done
minor wigeon
Games are different though... every second isnt close up and super focused... + loop animations with veriations help create the illusion of difference
silent frost
ah cool - makes sense.
So, are you working on a game at the moment, learning, portfolio work? (if you don't mind me asking)
minor wigeon
technically working... however as the studio is waiting for publishers im just doing portfolio stuff
silent frost
Ah OK, cool
minor wigeon
im mostly a character artist but i like doing Game projects to break things up
want to get in to making games more though
silent frost
I think it certainly helps to diversify and expand, not only to avoid burnout on one particular subject but to also gain an understanding how the other elements are pulled together etc. Also helps build your skill base too.
Have you done any personal game projects yet?
minor wigeon
i have my 3 week project from last year that i did solo
nothing special
lofi hiphop is such a dumb idea when your struggling to stay awake T- T

fierce tulip
yea, im not a fan of "lets try to make whats currently popular" thing either, and more than often it isnt popular anymore by the time they'd finish, if they ever finish it. but at least they have a goal and while they might not meet that goal, they have a reason to learn gamedev

feral kiln
@minor wigeon Thank you! I have been asking about it. 😅
I just need to finalize things. Its my first time buying a PC and building one.
minor wigeon
look at Nvidia over AMD... they are slightly cheaper cause of data mining... and access to CUDA and PhysX are a big bonus.
Remember its not all about the Vram... stability and propper FPS means more than Raw clock speed
- Nvidia cards tend to run cooler and run quieter
fierce tulip
though, most amd cards come with a vacuum-connector so you dont need an additional vacuumcleaner

if you get an MSI/Asus the fans have a 0 RPM mode when you arnt using them and will run backwards on startup to clear out dust

Nice - should keep you going for a while. I used to run AMD but plumped up for the i7, and new Mobo

i have a Asus Crosshair V formula and a new system would of set me back like £2k.
the CPU upgrade to the biggest the socket can handle only cost me £180 so... was worth it

if yhou have followed the basic 3rd person game tutorial series... it mentions it in there
given your animations and gameplay i think you probably are <. < it comes towards the end

Are you talking about switching between Skeleton or animation scaled etc?
Looking in the montage viewer, the animation is playing fine
I don't know if it was connected, but the 2nd punch doesnt travel all the way, it seems to end half way through it's animation
minor wigeon
i dont actually know <.< could be the blendspace

mmm, I'm going to quickly look at weight painting in Blender. I'll let you know how I get on. Thank you
obsidian nimbus
looks like arms are part of upperbody slot
rocky kayak
hey guys i need to draw a line that scales as the mouse moves up and down while left click is held down, is there a blueprint function that makes this easy to do? got a headache trying to use HUD draw line that scales with mouse y axis and more logic but it didnt work out :c. also thought about creating a long box actor that has sections which can be toggled visible/not but my initial thoughts are bloated&unnecessary memory usage
clever dawn
hmmm, any ideas?
obsidian nimbus
and correct me if im wrong but u retarget a skeleton to another skeleton and not 1 anim
ehm do u play the punch when running and legs keep moving?
clever dawn
So I downloaded the rig from Blendswap, and have created all animation on that rig. It is this rig that I am currently using in UE4
With the use of blendbones none, the legs move when walk/run and punching
let me try disbling the blen bones and see if I still get the issue
obsidian nimbus
ok somewhere in anim bp so specify u only use arms to play punch
u need to include the upperarms in there
clever dawn
I just tried having different bones listed in the blend bones node, same issue with whichever arm is punching.
Just for error checking, how do I get the punching to play without the blendbones node. When I connect the original state for idle/walk/run, the char wont play the punch anim
obsidian nimbus
drag the punch anim in the lvl and if it looks allright its in the anim bp
if the skeleton from blendswap isnt an unreal skel that could give problems if u follow a tut too the letter
clever dawn
right, ok, thanks
ok, so just to confirm, it's not a weight painting issue. Just checked and everything looked fine, moving onto the dgra the punch"" suggestion
minor wigeon
if i remember rightly, when you do blendspaces you need to specify the bones to take higher priority (its been a while since i last did any animation stuff)
obsidian nimbus
that vid at 6 min talks about the upperbody slot\
clever dawn
All 4 punch anim parts display when draged into the viewport and I scrub through the initial position slider
obsidian nimbus
make sure upperarms are in there
looking at the vid again... those arms are not connected too the body so the bones might also not be connected too the spine
clever dawn
Ah.
That sounds like something
but then how come the other animations work?
you would have thought it was a problem across all the anims ie walk jump etc
minor wigeon
cause of the animation tree
obsidian nimbus
becuZ the punch anim overrides the blendspace but upperarms dont get told to override the blendspace
so they stay in idle anim
clever dawn
obsidian nimbus
but i would need to see more to be sure
clever dawn
does that help any?
obsidian nimbus
that tutorial at min 6 do you have spine as upperbody?

do you have multiple maps?
migrate 1 map to a fresh project , copy project settings and try package again
clever dawn
@obsidian nimbus yeah I think it's a skeleton issue. At this stage should I be looking at using a better suited Rig?
obsidian nimbus
depends on what u wunna do, ur rig can do punches too
clever dawn
Well the puches arnt working
Iv'e tried diffrent bones, and it keeps having the top arm issue
obsidian nimbus
you create a new project , same template as B4
R mouse the map you want to package and migrate
select content folder of new project
well, if u wunna use that rig you use that rig, if you want to prototype stuff usually the unreal rig is good enough
clever dawn
ok, but how would I go about correcting this issue, with the current rig? Igreatly apreciate your help so far
obsidian nimbus
do you have the same setup as the tutorial i posted?
clever dawn
yes
evrything is the same
I just don't get how everyanimation work, in their own windows and the blenspaces/montages, it is only when the game runs, that the punch is the issue
litterally just when the game runs
fierce tulip
4 hours of problem shooting
when something in perforce went wrong after pushing latest, and depot and revision log claims they where pushed properly, they where not.
obsidian nimbus
and if u put ORG-chest in there?
clever dawn
the animation plays, but still with the same issue
That's my setup
man that is terrible quality
minor wigeon
check that the right bones are being given priority in the blend space
clever dawn
ooh, what do you mean?
minor wigeon
when you create a blendspace you should be able to say what bones take higher priority
minor wigeon
id assume from the waist up you need a blendspace otherwise you wont be able to move round and punch
clever dawn
don't know if it is a symptom, when I hold my mouse button down, the punch sequence only plays ones, instead of repeating
@minor wigeon Yes, I'm using a Blend to Bone node for that
minor wigeon
gimmie a sec... not been in UE4 for a few months <.<
clever dawn
sorry
minor wigeon
whats your animgraph doing?
clever dawn
its doing stuff lol
I would get an image for you but the quality on here is terrible, and you wont be able to see any text
I just put a master punch anim into the state machine on it's own, and that works
so I dont know if that means it is a vblend bone node issue?
obsidian nimbus
well its not weight or retarget 😛
clever dawn
lol, that is good news. 2 X Thumbs Up
yeah it is definitely the layered bone node.
hmmm
obsidian nimbus
shoulder and lower part work but upperarm not for some reason
clever dawn
just going to upload a new vid that might help
that doesnt help at all, let me re record it lol
minor wigeon
lol
safe meadow
hi, anybody awake?
obsidian nimbus
im startin to run a bit out of ideas tho 😛
minor wigeon
you dint add the bone in or tell it to play the different state btw
clever dawn
I know I didnt tell it to play the extra state 😃 it was more that when I go through the basic process the issue shows up.
What do you mean though about adding the bone in? Is that not what I did when I entered the spine bone itno the box?
have I missed something?
I hope so, I hope it is a simple mistake that is about to be figured out 😃
fierce tulip
anybody know how I would go and set up an additional keyboard shortcut for content browser 2
(i.e. open up a second content browser)
or make ctrl + b open up a second instance of the CB, so it doesnt mess whatever I have open in CB1 up
or where would I post this question on the forums?
obsidian nimbus
@clever dawn it kinda looks like the bone that isnt moving isnt under the spine
check the name of the not moving bone and add that under the spine allready there
alto it would also be really weird if this is the case
send a pic with show bone names
obsidian nimbus
you usually do this in blender or some other rigging software
if u send a pic of the rig with show bones on perhaps i can say more
*show bone names
clever dawn
ah I see. I'll take it from here.
It's been a long day, and you have already helped loads. I'll check back in tomorow, if that's ok
obsidian nimbus
oki np
clever dawn
thank you though for all the help @minor wigeon and @obsidian nimbus
keen crane
Has anyone used the iclone character creator? Was wondering if it would be worth the investment since I don't do graphics art myself
minor wigeon
what was the issue in the end @clever dawn
sharp crest
Not sure where this questions releates to so sorry if not the right place:
If a game is using my files without permission in a game on Steam what can I do to take it down? (Because the whole game is based on those files)
Not the case atm but I'm worried it might be
Sucks trusting someone and then having something like this happen at the end.. I guess thats how the internet goes
minor wigeon
copywrite infrindgment and falls under data protection.
its hard to counter... but just approach Steam and tell them they are using your assets and content without permission
sharp crest
Oh okey, good to know. Hopefully wont have to do that
minor wigeon
they will then have to go through channels to get it removed and then you will have to issue a cease and desist and threaten court action at your own accord
sharp crest
and if it will hopefully it wont be a whole deal.. which is probably gonna be :/
yea..
as I expected
minor wigeon
you can request damages which means a portion of the profits or all the profits made so far
if you are doing it as part of a course and they where a partner... then you can also take it up with the college/univercity
sharp crest
not in the same country
I will investigate this more if I see that they decide to continue, thanks!
minor wigeon
you can still get damages
if the game is doing well then id go for damages... you get a perminant % of the profits that way
sharp crest
hopefully I will be able to solve it before the game is out so I dont have to do anything like this
Okey good to know
minor wigeon
i had to do all of this as part of a course a few years ago and sort of went beyond the criteria :3
sharp crest
yea I would imagine something like this wouldnt just be a 2 minutes done thing :/
minor wigeon
yeah... i spend a month on it 😐
it asked for atleast 1 example for the entire paper... i gave 3 examples per section and broke down how they won and stuff
ended up coming out like nearly a novel <.<
sharp crest
Is there anything I should do now that will help me if I have to do anything about it later?
minor wigeon
everyone else did 5 pages total... i ended up with like 90 pages XD
you can try and contact the person and tell them if they go forward with this you will take legal action
sharp crest
yes I will of course do that but hm like something that I can do to proof that those are my files easier?
minor wigeon
do you have the files?
sharp crest
Yes I have a backup on my computer
minor wigeon
if you do they should have a "last edited Date" on them you can see via the properties
sharp crest
We used a git, one of them owned the git, they removed me from it
minor wigeon
if they have been using them they will have opened it bringing the date forward
do you not own the original files on your HDD/SSD?
minor wigeon
if you have the original files. Right click, properties, Details
there will be a "Date Created" and "Date modified" there
minor wigeon
as long as you can proove they are your files you should be ok
minor wigeon
if they only have the asset + texture files with say the .SPP or the .Blend file then it looks better on you
(sort of why i ALWAYS keep all that stuff saved)
minor wigeon
you should still have a earlier "date created" so even if they edited, yours should have an earlier creation
cause theres will be as of when they downloaded it
sharp crest
okey but the users will only have the cooked files
so that will be a different date no?
and how will the date prove the files are mine
minor wigeon
as you are the creator you should have the earlier files
a difference of 4-5 days or even 10 mins is enough
sharp crest
hm okey
minor wigeon
tip: share the FBX and PNG/Tiff files... not the creation files
that way if this happens you are the only person will the creation files making you the overall owner
and blog what you do
even if its "made this today"
sharp crest
well I'm the programmer and we had level designers that worked on the game too
minor wigeon
did you agree to be on the project with them and help them make the game?
sharp crest
yes I started the project
minor wigeon
then they sort of flake off and shunned you
minor wigeon
so they basically stole your data?
minor wigeon
if thats the case its just out right copywrite theft and you can just do straight up legal action
its your IP
sharp crest
okey so I dont have to worry about anything atm right? only when the game is on Steam (if)?
minor wigeon
you want to punch this early... the quicker you get on it the more likely you are to get anywhere
sharp crest
How can I take legal actions on something thats not out yet? :P 🤔
You mean talking to them?
minor wigeon
copywrite is awkward to work with... and if there is no money involed yet your gonna have a harder time
sharp crest
well there is gonna be when/if they are going to release the game
minor wigeon
Contact steam and them
sharp crest
now?
minor wigeon
pretty much
sharp crest
what am I supposed to say xD
minor wigeon
contact steam and get in touch with there legal team
sharp crest
so tell them that someone might post a game soon using my files without permission? xD
sounds a bit weird specially that I dont know for sure they are going for it
minor wigeon
something along the lines of
"it has come to my attention that a project being advertised on your platform is using copywrited data of mine, if the project is to release without permission i will be pursuing legal action"
something like that
keen crane
Did you have a deal with them?
sharp crest
@minor wigeon Okey but it's not on Steam yet
@keen crane We were a team, no contracts has been done
minor wigeon
if its being advertised on there... then you can still say something
keen crane
I would say
minor wigeon
failing that... side step them... release the game yourself before them for free
sharp crest
talking about steam, steamcommunity.com is down xD
@minor wigeon hmm, probably the best idea but we dont want to rush and they might found/have a bigger team
minor wigeon
tbh... this is what people with no talent do to get by
you need to stomp on it or set up a screw you situation
keen crane
Recently someone broke ? Off of mydevelopment team and has some files that are not approveed to be used outside the team. Let them know you are the one with rights to the files. And the use of them elsewhere is not approved
minor wigeon
push and go legal or prepare for martydom

@keen crane Cool, what did you do before?
UE4 <3
minor wigeon
this is why you makesure you setup NDA's and have some legal backing before doing a project with otherpeople

Have you tried iclone?
minor wigeon
Maya LT, Modo, Blender, Houdini, zbrush, Topogun, 3D coat, Substance, Mari, Quicel, Marvelous designer, Marmoset, UE4, Unity, Photoshop, Krita, illustrator, Flash, Gimp
im planning on dropping Modo though... never use it

3 long 5 me
I wanted to learn 3D modeling for so long
But I'm not creative enough xD

my core set is Zbrush, 3d coat, Maya LT, substance and Marvlous Designer
keen crane
I was thinking about trying Adobe fuse or iclone eventually fuse is a free character creator right now and iclone is like 1k usd.
minor wigeon
could try ManualBastionLab in Blender
keen crane
I believe iclone can make animus though.

Hi all
I was wondering how much can really be done with the script plugin for ue4?
could a whole game be created with it?
plush yew
Oooo
safe rose
The Script Plugin is made just for people like you
plush yew
Anything I want?!
safe rose
Maybe
plush yew
lol
hollow pawn
I read something about ue4 having some kind of plugin
hollow pawn
that people who do not know how to script could use to create games
safe rose
You know
hollow pawn
I thought I would come here and ask you all
safe rose
You are making less and less sense
A Script Plugin for those who do not know how to script
Anyway
plush yew
ya..
hollow pawn
that may have been it
safe rose
Hmm, between school and self-taught
plush yew
Wow, so you studied in school as well
safe rose
I have two degrees
hollow pawn
I'm more of a model creater my self using Gmax and Blender
plush yew
thats so cool
plush yew
maybe i'll get my shit together and get myself some damn education
hollow pawn
I never really got into scripting / writing code as of yet and have been thinking about learning a little more about it
safe rose
But they did have Processing class
plush yew
any places you suggest starting for programming
safe rose
@plush yew Depends on how much you want to spend
plush yew
I know you might get that alot
safe rose
You can learn a lot for free nowadays
I would recommend probably a C.S degree or straight up Programming
If they have a Game track
go for that
But really, there's so much out there for free or cheap
Udemy teaches a lot
plush yew
Thanks man, ill keep it open as a possible future for me
plush yew
and what language do you suggest I start learning
safe rose
You really want to learn Game Math as well
Depends on what you want to do
Someone asked me this yesterday during the stream
His only choices were Java and C#
I said, if he wanted to do GameDev, go C#
If not, go Java
plush yew
I know its not like riding a bike, I know it takes yeard of practice to gain that kind understanding
I just want to try it out, see if I likei t ya know
safe rose
It's not for everyone
But it's not especially hard either
Like you said, as long as you keep at it...
plush yew
C# it is man
plush yew
ahhh
safe rose
But C++ was pretty hard for me to grasp
safe rose
Still is sometimes
Yes
C# is what they consider "high-level"
while C++ is down to the metal
hollow pawn
I read that Unity uses C# while UE4 uses C++
plush yew
maybe 2/3 hours a day for some weeks see if I am grasping anything. If its not interesting me much after that i'll know I tried it
hollow pawn
So ok blueprint can an 3d RPG game be made with that or are they more for smaller games?
plush yew
Thanks for the advice, one of the reasons I want to get into the basics of this is because of how tight of a community you guys are.
ooo let me read this 😃
safe rose
As long as you learn some sort of OOP language
You can basically just use Blueprints and create yourself a full-fledged agme
game
Without even touching C++
But, C++ and BP go hand-in-hand
safe rose
Yup
hollow pawn
Nice
safe rose
And you'll find UE4++ much easier also
If you get a handle on C++
You biggest issues will be learning the framework
hollow pawn
Question why do some people want to learn C# instead of C++?
hollow pawn
Ah I have always heard of C++ for years and I have never really heard of C#
But it may have just been the people I was around
Well thanks for your time
I will look into this more so thanks
I like this "With C++, you can code for any platform including Mac, Windows and Linux."
Question how well does UE4 work on Linux and or Mac?
grim ore
Well enough on Mac. GPU is the biggest issue but newer macs have decent gpus now.

I've to say we need some ue merch too https://unity3d.com/gear 😃

I think Epic has some offices in Europe ( London, Berlin )
wary wave
Guildford and Sunderland
the 'Berlin' location isn't a proper office
(also the 'Sunderland' office is miles away from Sunderland, it's in Houghton-le-Spring)
west fulcrum
Epic Games needs to do something with presence in Europe. More workshops, events ( I'm unreal engine meetup orgranizer and I've to say Epic is supporting us ) Anyway, we need something like Unite in Amsterdam to bring more ppl to Unreal
wary wave
they did Dev Days in the UK in the past
the London ones were okay, the one in Stafford was a bust because Stafford is impossible to get to for a lot of people
cloud cobalt
Saw "women are sold out", freaked out a bit
wary wave
in these cases though, the events tend to have little value
Epic is usually better off having a presence at larger scale events with a real audience, i.e. Develop
west fulcrum
yes, also it's big at GDC, but you know, it's far away for many developers. I know, and thanks god for it, everything is recorded...but this is not the same, you don't feel the atmosphere, networking, having good time...just let's do something in Berlin for example, Amsterdam, London, Vienna..Many people wll apreciate that
west fulcrum
yes, but still not the same as Unite, where all event is only about Unity
wary wave
Unreal doesn't have the audience to do an event like that though
it's audience is going to be predominantly interested in the bigger events
the free developer days helped to demonstrate the lack of audience quite well
(I mean, they were free)
now they do the same stuff at Develop instead
west fulcrum
Yes, I see. I'm just a bit frustrated we have to bring ppl to Unreal on our own 😄 We have so hard times to hire (locally) someone with at least junior unreal developer skills. I can snap my finger and I can hire at least 5 Unity developers
wary wave
that's because of your locality and audience more than anything else
if you wanted skilled UE dev in the UK or Scandinavia, you'd have no trouble
out here in Eastern Europe, the industry is dominated by small companies with mobile games for the most part, and that part of the industry gravitates towards Unity
west fulcrum
Don't get me wrong, but even we are a smal country, we have strong game dev community and background. But I'm swimming in Unity waters, and one of the reason is, ppl here are more connected with Unity, and yes, one of the reason is Unite 😃
wary wave
I've also noticed that companies out here don't tend to be willing to pay the kinds of salaries required to encourage that talent over here either, which doesn't help
west fulcrum
We are cooperating also with Vienna meetup group, and it's not problem to bring 90+ ppl to meetups
clever dawn
Good morning everyone
wary wave
morning o/
sure, you might bring 90+ people to a free meetup
but how many of those people are hobbyists, students, and small scale indie or mobile developers predominantly?
How many would pay 400+ euros a ticket to do a proper conference 😉 ?
cloud cobalt
Hell, I've been with Unreal for a decade and I probably wouldn't put 40 euros in a conference
wary wave
if Epic can't fill seats at a free developer event in the UK where UE4 has a fairly significant presence, I'm not sure how one could expect a conference to work
west fulcrum
I agree it needs to scale up slowly. But do nothing is also not a good strategy ( I know, Develope, etc.... )
wary wave
IIRC, at the Stafford event, the morning session had over 60 empty seats out of 200 or so
clever dawn
I'm looking for a good rig to animate with in Blender but that works in UE4. Has anyone got a recomendation?
frank escarp
yup, rigify is great
just use that
but before doing any animation
make sure you get the workflow right
the workflow of export/import/stuff is tricky to get right
so use rigify to rig a random character , just automatic weights, and do some test anim
warm mountain
Hey guys would it be considered unprofessional of me, if I bake AO infomation and other info into the diffuse channel to reduce size of the project?
frank escarp
then try to export it right and retarget from it to mannequin and from mannequin to it
paper kernel
unreal has been getting better at recognizing the export settings from blender lately
warm mountain
I know most assets out there are sold with most of the core maps, etc roughness, normal, ao, gloss
cloud cobalt
@warm mountain Won't reduce anything
warm mountain
oh
cloud cobalt
Well, yeah
It will, but it's just not efficient
You can keep the AO separate, make it 50% lower in resolution, make sure it's compressed as grayscale
warm mountain
figured it would be less intensive on the gpu if I did and just used constants as it didn't show much difference to the assets
AO is in 512x512 atm
cloud cobalt
The problem with baking it in the diffuse is that the render will be wrong
cloud cobalt
Cutting one grayscale 512px texture is going to do very little to reduce the size
Are you on mobile ?
frank escarp
most people pack the textures
for example AO as the alpha channel of the color texture
warm mountain
alrighty
cloud cobalt
(Packing doesn't reduce the size)
Why do you need a smaller build ? is it like 50GB ?
frank escarp
if you do use the AO channel, it will merge it with the diffuse
but the point is that that AO channel will get merged with ligthmap AO and SSAO
so it will look good
if you bake it with the colors, then you might run AO darkening twice
warm mountain
Nah its not that big
I'm worried it will though
I'm about 10% done and all of the stuff is around 4 gb atm
but I guess it will be smaller when its compressed and packed?
cloud cobalt
yeah you need to check the packaged version for size
warm mountain
i guess it won't too much of a problem
if it does happen I could just downgrade the stuff
starting with the smaller things people don't look at
frank escarp
just make sure you setup the compression right
and even more important, the texture types
warm mountain
gotcha
frank escarp
like World, Character,Etc
becouse if you use them properly
then you can do changes in mass when packaging
cloud cobalt
I did a size-reduction pass once by setting "max size" for textures - I author everything in 4K by default and then downscale when needed
warm mountain
ah
i'm doing a pretty big map although the details of it
is concentrated into 3 places
there are quite large spaces with just rice paddies and hills
but they aren't approachable by the player
devout gulch
anyone used Resonance Audio and Steam Audio and can compare them ?
obsidian nimbus
@clever dawn you can try manuel bastoni lab, only takes a few tweaks to retarget to UE skeleton
clever dawn
thank you @obsidian nimbus But I have figured it out, it is a skinning issue. The creator of the rig, has multiple layered bones, and the weights arn't correct, so am just working through it

Nvidia is building a top 5 worldwide supercomputer
for AI and similar stuff
its going to have 660 of those DXG1 racks
each of them has 8 Tesla cards, and costs 100.000 dollars
obsidian nimbus
does it run crysis?
frank escarp
given that its almost etnterely GPU based
for sure
probably it can run lke 5.000 instances of crysis at once
obsidian nimbus
wil it blend?
frank escarp
it would run Cycles llike a dream with all that CUDA xD
i wonder how long it would take to render that Agent 327 movie
i guess you could use each of the GPUs to render one frame at once
minor wigeon
Nvidia Tesla's are just GPU's setup to run like a CPU <.< they are using in super computing and running material density in architecture, vehicles and running algorythms for space exploration
pallid compass
"gotta go fast gpu's"
minor wigeon
you could use them for Lightbaking in UE4... though i dont know why you would drop that much money in to one XD

be told we getting marked on modelling
have to remake everything
WhatDidIDoToDeserveThis.jpg
minor wigeon
this is what happens when you pay to learn stuff you can learn for free online 😐
frank escarp
@minor wigeon nope, you cant
lightmass is a cpu renderer, meant for use with a few independent cores
you would need to remake lightmass completely
maybe into a purely raytracing architecture, those scale great with gpus
minor wigeon
a Tesla is a CPU accelerator... your hardware will just recognize the P100 as a 32 core CPU
wary wave
Tesla is a multi-purpose GPU
unless the application has been specfically written to use Tesla, then Tesla is of no use
Tesla cards will run OpenCL or CUDA orientated applications, as an example
minor wigeon
Quadro's and Tesla's are sort of pointless for game development anway...
a high end Gaming GTX card or a Titan is what you want
wary wave
most Tesla cards don't even have video output, so obviously they're useless for game development
minor wigeon
a Titan is what you want 😄
frank escarp
@minor wigeon nope
a Tesla is a GPU that is all GPU calculation cores
doesnt have the typical texture or rasterizer hardware
just more cores
it just runs the same CUDA a normal nvidia card has
but better
also nvidia caps CUDA performance in their gaming gpus
the teslas are unconstrained + moar cores
wary wave
Titans aren't that great for gaming, they're often outperformed by their top-end Geforce equivalent
frank escarp
Titans do have better CUDA perf tho
wary wave
e.g. the Titan XP is outperfomed by the 1080Ti
Titans have better 64-bit precision performance too, IIRC
minor wigeon
thats why you want a Titan <.< they are that sexy middle ground between a Gaming card and Quadro
frank escarp
yeah, thats one of the things Nvidia caps on the normal gpus
games do not need 64 bit shaders
wary wave
A Titan in a gaming rig is redundant
minor wigeon
- you get my Vram in a Titan
wary wave
you're better off with a 1080Ti at half the price
minor wigeon
they should be dropping a new titan soon aswell <.<
wary wave
1080Ti has the same memory
frank escarp
a Titan is good if you want to do CUDA stuff AND game stuff
but they are still kind of retarded
if you truly want game + cuda its better to get 2 game gpus
while most games cant SLI, cuda allways can SLI
minor wigeon
depends on your budget
frank escarp
and pretty sure 2 1080s have better cuda perf than one titan
and given the overprice of titans...
might even be worth it
minor wigeon
Dual 1080 ti's will out perform a single Titan... but if you wonna flex you can go up to 3-4 way SLI with Titans.
the Gaming GPU's are capped at 2 way SLI now -.-
wary wave
a single 1080ti will outperform a Titan
minor wigeon
in games yeah... for rendering certain things.. a titan runs ahead
so if you do a bit of both then middle ground on a titan
an ideal system for me would be the 16 core Threadripper with 2-3 Titans and 64gb of RAM (cause why not)

how would you make a log screen and a world ?
1 level for the logscreen and 1 for the world ?
or just with widgets ?
or 2 gamemodes ?
minor wigeon
easiest approach for a Log screen is to create a basic text interface display then link a print string to it with a log link
gray basalt
everything in same level ?
minor wigeon
no idea... i usually print string per thing im doing to check its going correctly
gray basalt
ah no i mean a loggin screen, with a user name and a password
minor wigeon
possibly this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24NX8tBWKKM

Hello, I need some help about Jumpin in 3d, I want to understand how I can make a better jump (up to mario odyssey lvl of goodness :3) in unreal we have these air control options etc, but there is more to it than that, such as how the trajectory is applied, If anyone knows where I can get more info about this pls tell me
Right now the best I could do is Multiply the gravity applied to the character and make the jump velocity very high, so that the character jumps faster without that awkward feeling of being in the air waiting for the fall
minor wigeon
if you use a root animation you can gain more control over the movement

humble bundle has become so underwhelming in recent years
sinful thorn
30$ for a bunch of crap games
surreal viper
problem is that there is one game I like in that
*I would like to buy
but im better off buying that one
and not the bundle 😄
minor wigeon
OR... $30 on something usefull.... like good <.< or rent... or a few months of netflix
sinful thorn
they are usually games which their multiplayer died so what's the use? u can get them for free anyway
surreal viper
im more into singleplayer games like 90% of the time
minor wigeon
reason why, life is strange and the last of us are my favorite games
too many games lean on competition now... i like the slow pensive moments you can relax with
surreal viper
too bad that humble bundle doesn't sell a ps4 for 6$ in a bundle
i would totally buy that
LiS is cool, I could not try last of us (yet) 😢
minor wigeon
i got a PS4 just for the last of us <..< then horizon and a few other exclusives came out and i was like... worth it <.<
