Hey guys does anyone know if building an FName has any performance implications? I remember someone telling me ages ago that you should cache your FNames as the construction process is slow due to hashing etc but I cant find any info on this from epic?
Example being that each time I fire a bullet I get the muzzle socket location using an FName
should I cache it?

did you walk thru the blueprint for the character to see if the nodes are being called correctly, valid AI controller being set up, valid possess for the AI controller being used, etc.
grim ore
@glad karma that is a blend space, that is not an animation.

@opal lark have you done any of the suggestions from earlier? walking thru the BP using debugging to make sure its all hooked up and making sure the posess for AI is correct
opal lark
debuggin with a string
grim ore
use breakpoints, F9 on the first part after begin play and step thru it looking at each value. Make sure you have a valid ai controller when you assign your blackboard. Make sure possess is correct in the details panel.

How can I reverse gradient? I need blue to be on opposite side.
grim ore
there are some things built in like random point in bounding box and some that are based on navigation meshes but for other shapes you can do random vectors and go from there
does implement interface is how you check if the item you are talking to ..... implements the interface
"Hey can you do this?"
yes
they are different
one adds it to the blueprint so it can do the events or functions
the other is a node to check to see if the blueprint you are talking to has that interface added on it
you never need it ever
you want to use it if you want to check something easily
I put an interface called "CanBeDamaged" on somethings
I can use the "Does Implement Interface" when I hit something and check for the "CanBeDamaged" interface and know if it has that interface on it
its better to use as many as you want
organization is good
you could have one for can be damaged, one for can be shot, one for can be blown up, one for can interact with
and then just drop on the ones you plan on using
casting is not bad, casting is part of programming
interfaces just make times you need to cast easier
they are NOT the same
they both have different uses and you should use both as needed
grim ore
I have a barrel, a dog, and a door. all 3 are blueprints (bp_door, etc.)
I fire a bullet and it hits something
now I need to tell what I hit to take damage if it can (the dog and door does, the barrel does not)
how do I deal the damage?
hit something -> cast to dog -> if dog deal damage? if not dog -> cast to door -> if door deal damage? if not door -> cast to barrel? etc..
with an interface I can hit something -> use the interface event to deal damage and I am done
the dog knows it can take damage using the interface, the door does as well, and the barrel doesnt care
rotund scroll
@grim ore you remember a couple weeks back you found the override function for SpawnDefaultPawnFor ... I was hoping you could help me out with a similar case. This time I'm looking for the same sort of relationship, but with actors and their components
grim ore
cleaner code, more efficient flow
summer zealot
Nobody knows how to revers gradient? :/
rotund scroll
interfaces are generally only needed if you have multiple hierarchies though
base classes can stand in for an interface
class hierarchies
grim ore
yes base classes are great but do you want the same base class for a dog and a door?
rotund scroll
well no but a door might not take damage necessarily
I'm not saying interfaces aren't useful, I'm just saying it's about three steps ahead of the curve
when perhaps getting to understand one step at a time would be beneficial
although even for unreal they made actor be able to take damage, so I reckon there is a strong preference for class hierarchies over interface use
but that may just be my interpretation
@light lintel yeah so all goblin types would probably be under a single "base goblin" class, which would be under a "base humanoid" class, which would be under "character" etc.
rotund scroll
I'm not sure what you mean by that
it sounds like you only ever want to lock on to something very specific
whereas the ideal way to do things is through modularity
rotund scroll
e.g. your lock on function has an input parameter of "actor" or "character" or "pawn"
@elder moat anywhere really. here is fine, but there are also specific channels if you read #more-resources
elder moat
Ok
rotund scroll
I mean that can work. the way you have done it is not great but it'll do the job
yeah if they all have the same parent class, then yes you would also get the children
the better way is by understanding how blueprints communicate and the general rule that information only flows when it needs to. so an actor only needs to know about another actor when they come into contact with each other somehow
timer is the best way

Has anyone experienced an issue with the rotation of models when using "Import to Level"?
I'm using it to preserve the hierarchy of the scene, and importing into Unity is flawless, but in Unreal I get issues.
this is how it looks in max
rotund scroll
have you checked if it's any different than importing it to the asset browser?
undone sinew
it is, but i dont have any hierarchy if i do it that way
whats weird is that, the model has identical meshes
the left side imports screwed up, right imports fine
undone sinew
the one thats flipped, is the right side
which is the one that imports properly
I used the mirror & clone for that.
and that would be along the X axis
im trying to demonstrate how it looks in unreal, but everytime i have to delete the import, it freezes for 5 minutes
severe ibex
I can't say for sure but I know mirrored geometry from max can often have buggered normals and x-forms
undone sinew
yeah, but the odd thing is, the mirrored geometry is the one working
severe ibex
maybe it's working because of the difference from Max and UE4 with the Y and Z changed?
undone sinew
is there a better method of importing models with hierarchy, besides "import to level"
I can try
severe ibex
not sure if Datasmith is any better than FBX for stuff like this.
rotund scroll
it might be
undone sinew
yeah i just confirmed the import to level is definitely broken
cause now, there is some kind of cache issue
where it doesnt fully reimport
rotund scroll
try datasmith then
undone sinew
so i get half of the geometry imported from the same fbx
okay, thats the issue
positions are correct, just not local rotations
i dont doubt its something to do with max to ue4 conversion either
but there is something that makes me wonder something
rotund scroll
look man why don't you try and see if datasmith does it for you
undone sinew
unity
yeah im gonna try datasmith too
but im wondering what unity is doing differently
or if maybe i can run my fbx through another program before importing into unreal*
rotund scroll
unity has different coordinates than UE, which has different coordinates than max, which has different coordinates than maya etc.
translating between these differences sometimes breaks
undone sinew
yeah, thats why i was thinking, maybe bringing it into something else first
rotund scroll
it's not going to help
undone sinew
ive seen the weird stuff each program does to other formats, like obj*
rotund scroll
like it stays fbx regardless of which package or engine you use
so idk what you would hope to achieve from this
the best case scenario is to update your fbx exporter to be the recommended 2018 version
undone sinew
so the issue is that unreal just isnt converting properly then?
rotund scroll
for your particular fbx, apparently
undone sinew
ill try a different version, didnt think of that
as far as datasmith goes, it doesnt work with the latest version of unreal, so i have to download and install the previous engine first, thats what im waiting on.
grim ore
heh. Had a pure function that was getting an animation out of an array, using modulus to increment to the next valid value in the array, and returning the value and animation. I was plugging the value out into a setter, the animation out into a play montage node, and using a print string to make sure the value was correct from the animation. Anyone notice the problem...
undone sinew
oooo 😮
undone sinew
is that the datasmith exporter?

if we are talking about googling first, may I recommend googling Blender. I am current on one of those "I just got a new religion" phases and have to tell everyone about it until I annoy everyone and they say "oh no here comes that Blender guy again".
rotund scroll
meh, I tried and gave up on blender
kindred viper
in 2.79 or 2.8?
rotund scroll
2.8
kindred viper
really im surprised. It's so much faster than 3ds on the workflow
rotund scroll
I really like the sculpting
kindred viper
until you hit an obvious caveat I guess but thats the same with 3ds
rotund scroll
but using it for anything else is a massive chore
like there are so many small things it becomes death by a thousand cuts
kindred viper
hmm I used 3ds from max 5 until 2016 and I have to say, it feels better to a non-artist. Perhaps someone serious about modelling would pick it apart but for me, it's pretty easy and quick to run up a model
rotund scroll
my biggest issue is that it doesn't allow for modular workflows like most 3d packages do
it's do it the blender way or don't do it
kindred viper
well it does as its python based
rotund scroll
and for someone brought up on extrude based workflows, it's a hard sell to move away from
yeah but attempting that proved to be another rabbit hole
kindred viper
definitely. its as complicated as UE4 is as a whole. So much learning curve.
rotund scroll
the best example is the delete command bringing up a menu instead of understanding the context of the deletion by default
abstract relic
stay out of .24 anyway
grim ore
Datasmith was a separate item in .23 and before, it's now part of the core engine install
rotund scroll
^
kindred viper
thats why it randomly updated and forced a rebuild for me . hmm
grim ore
what you see there, the install to engine, is for .19 thru .23 as it was separate
undone sinew
Well, I'm glad there is youtube
unfortunately, datasmith isnt any better
it has the same issue and also adds a new issue, removes all hierarchy
abstract relic
go to #datasmith if that's the route you want to go. Antoine keeps a close eye on it
undone sinew
I'm just looking for a solution to the orientation issue, not specific to datasmith.
Cause, I know this won't be the last time it happens.
fallen marten
Did you collapse the stacks before saving as fbx? To bake the modifiers in rather than have ue4 try import a modifier
A different way to go about it could be If the parts of your mesh don't have to move, you could add a root bone, skin all the mesh to it, and when it imports to ue4 it should lock all the local rotations.
There's aways more than one way to skin a cat man -
undone sinew
I was thinking of the bone method you mentioned.
I'm gonna try a couple of other things first, and then that, and see what works.
I suspect the issue might actually be Max, because I've had so many issues in the past with scene glitches persisting in FBX exports.
I'll let you know how it goes 🙂
fallen marten
Cool 🙂 I use max 2016 and haven't really upgraded it in any way, and haven't really had any trouble getting complex meshes like destructible cars etc into ue4

unreal sable
I get a crash report window.
grim ore
ah in there should be what actually crashed then if you install the debug symbols from the launcher
the actual crash stack address
otherwise you could go thru your config directory and move the configs out of there and try to relaunch to see if it's a setting you put in
the Config folder and the Saved folder both have settings that you might have changed, you can temporarily rename them to see if it loads (bad files) and then try to fix or go one by one and change them out to see if you can narrow it down or see about getting the full crash stack
unreal sable
I tried to launch with debug logging enabled, not sure if it did anything.
I'll try the config swap.
Still crashing after swapping out with a backup config.

its normal if its not running, if it was running it would be at the top

and if you right click that node and refresh it, it might give you the newer version otherwise just replace it completely with the updated node

Believe the term is blend shape
halcyon flame
thanks dude. they're called morph targets in blueprint and shape keys in blender
I have a bit of a different case bc I'm using absolute shape keys (where each key is a single key frame on a linear progression) as opposed to relative keys which each have an individual value
halcyon flame
most of these tutorials are related to facial animation, which is fine
but if you had something that you wanted to change between multiple shapes, kindof like a transformer, which had multiple shapes all along the same line, you'd use absolute shape keys
grim ore
Any of the content examples help with that https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Resources/ContentExamples/MorphTargets/index.html from the learn tab?
it has examples for like cube to sphere and such
idle compass
@normal burrow do u have a good tutorial on utube? since understanding by text only is pretty difficult for me
halcyon flame
@grim ore @normal burrow it looks like UE4 doesn't import absolute shape keys...
I just did some basic testing with mine. when you set the shape keys to absolute their times are set on 10 unit increments, however, plugging time seconds % 10 into set morph target value did not have the desired effect. it treated it like a relative shape key which has t from 0 to 1.

Yeah I’ve never heard of absolute keys but I’ve not worked with normal ones much either

If you want to turn the baked light on and off or to different colors you must use stationary. If it’s not baked then it’s moveable

from what I see the blending is just directly on the material, what I meant to study was for example having material a and then vertex paint it so there's some part that's material b

Felixonorato, it’s how you do it. Theres no built in way
If you have the material functions return attributes you just interpolate multiple of these with vertex color

Maybe a lighting option from the material shader, when you click on texture sample inside the material? Default lit, or something? Opacity by .5 isxone interesting option, it cuts the contrast down alot. And an interesting effect
In one smll way, i like the grass, but the artist side of my thinking says, the light is so terrible, no grass would be much better

wtf, did 4.24.2 change the way Unreal compiles shaders?
it completely tanks my computer performance, locks up all CPUs 100%!
and I tested this both on a PC workstation and a Mac Pro, same issue
it didn't used to be like this... befor eyou could actually work in the background
even typing is slow now

Hi guys, we have a tricky problem (please redirect me if another channel would be more helpful). Our project does not package anymore in 4.23 and in 4.24 it crashes when trying to open any of our blueprint assets. The error message is extremely vague. And our attempts to identify the cause have not lead to anything after 2 days. This is the error message:
Ensure condition failed: ReferencingPin->LinkedTo.Num() > PinData.ArrayIdx [File:D:/Build/++UE4/Sync/Engine/Source/Runtime/Engine/Private/EdGraph/EdGraphPin.cpp] [Line: 1733] [2020.02.19-09.20.57:778][634]LogOutputDevice: Error: Ensure condition failed: ReferencingPin->LinkedTo.Num() > PinData.ArrayIdx [File:D:/Build/++UE4/Sync/Engine/Source/Runtime/Engine/Private/EdGraph/EdGraphPin.cpp] [Line: 1733]Does anyone recognize this or know a way to solve it?
@tawdry lily
Just reporting back for other people that might encounter this issue. In our case it was caused by a math expression node. Not sure what the problem with it was exactly but deleting it made the problem go away. Hope it helps someone in the future 🙂
honest vale
@glacial pecan compiling shaders has always taken 100% of cpu
mossy nymph
@tawdry lily are you using custom engine or do you have an editor customization module?
tawdry lily
@mossy nymph I do have an editor customization module in my plugin, but it I don't think it has anything to do with this math expression. Not using a custom engine btw
mossy nymph
well, should be easy to check, just don't load the customization module
EditorGraphPin error strongly suggests it is the culprit
if it is, you should be able to open blueprint assets that don't use any of the customized types just fine
idle compass
hey guys, what is the meaning of modular workflow?
mossy nymph
also, running a DebugGameEditor build from VS should provide a full callstack how it got to that error

hey guys, what is the meaning of modular workflow?
@idle compass depends? Are u talking about 3d art or software engineering?
idle compass
@idle compass depends? Are u talking about 3d art or software engineering?
@plush yew can u elaborate in both aspects?
tawdry lily
@mossy nymph Yeah I've done that, it was failing on a float / float node... so I got a little bit stuck there.. But as I said, I managed to fix it by deleting this math expression node. There was a float / float node in there with the exact same values as the node that it failed on. So I assume this was the culprit. The mystery remains why unreal would crash on a valid math expression though..

I formated my PC and reinstalled UE (4.22.2) a few days ago. Visual Studio was installed automatically with UE4. So, did it automatically install the last version of Visual Studio ? Is it up to date ? Or should I download the last update ?
glacial pecan
@plush yew when I make a build on a fresh PC, I always get an error message telling me to run the VS installation manager and add an option or two, so perhaps just try to package your project and see what errors pop up?
languid flax
@plush yew There is a page with infos https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Programming/Development/VisualStudioSetup/index.html

@glacial pecan Aaah great advice ! I've just try to package a little project and I had this wonderful blue screen :
So yep, I think I have a problem with Visual Studio... 😆
( I was asking this because I have many crashes with UE each time the shaders are compiling... )
Moreover, I see that I have tons of Visual Studio's versions installed on my PC. I don't know if it's normal... 🙄
Ok, I've just try again to package the project. No blue screen this time but I have a message error which says, in resume : "No Visual C++ installation was found. Please download and install Visual Studio 2017 with C++ components."
However, you can see that Visual C++ 2017 is installed on my computer, in the screenshot above...
I don't understand...

Or create boolean on press > false / release > true
Aim then takes bool into a branch to enable / disable

question: if ive made my game so it isnt using pak files, and someone who doesnt have the source for the game wanted to make a map, could they just make a map in any instance of unreal editor against any dummy project, cook that project also without pak files, and take the cooked umap, drop it into my games content dir, and play that map from the commandline? assuming of course that my game has no requirements for any special code within the level blueprint?
or will it just break horribly.

hi guys would anyone like to help me with a very basic project, im a student and have no experience in ue whatsoever

@lean crown Pick up a tutorial relevant to your idea.
Better to learn yourself then to expectsomeone to do your work for you.
lean crown
i just need guidance to what i should exactly do, i have tried tutorials and now im stuck
unreal sable
Solving your own problems and googling is part of the learning curve unironically.
unreal sable
@lean crown I sorta just recommend following a tutorial religiously until you feel confident enough to take liberties and add things yourself.
lean crown
alright thanks
btw is there an assets site i can download other than the marketplace?
unreal sable
I haven't found any good places for FREE assets if that's what you mean.
Even if models and such are free they come with a lisence that can make commercial release a problem.
Humble bundle has a pack for 1$
https://www.humblebundle.com/software/best-of-polygon-game-dev?hmb_source=humble_home&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=mosaic_section_2_layout_index_2_layout_type_twos_tile_index_1_c_bestofpolygongamedev_softwarebundle
Beware one-seat lisence though, not optimal for commercial use.

@grave radish traditionally one would set up source control and use it to keep multiple machines in sync on a project. if you don't want to do that you can just zip up the project folder and move it to the other one

hoo boy, Epic's bug reporting responses are a comedy of errors
thin tendon
I reported a bug waited 2 weeks for a response. They asked if I tried setting a particular option. But the first line in the bug report said I ticked said option. I pointed this out in my reply to them. A week later and I still haven't heard back
hexed dock
report bug. wait for response. finally get response. read response and realize it's clear they didn't even pay the minimal amount of attention. reply and point this out. repeat.
I reported this bug: https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-89272 (feel free to vote for it!)
The first reply was "you're not assigning the texture object". I reply back with "yes, I am. Right here in the blueprint where it says "Set (TextureVariable) to result of Create Object From Class". I even attached a screenshot of it being debugged, with a mouseover showing the value that got assigned. They replied that they had created the bug report. I checked it and it said "The Texture is never assigned a value".
🤦♂️
I replied back and basically told them "didn't I just show you that wasn't true". Luckily, they updated it to what you see now (incredibly verbose, isn't it? so glad I put all those details in the bug report) before someone else could jump on it and close it.
plush yew
@plush yew can u elaborate in both aspects?
@idle compass yes.
In general it means modules. Entities that are seperate, and reusable.
In 3d art if you build a house you may have 1 model.
How about having 30 models (walls, windows, furnitures, pipes etc..) allowing you to build many variations and reuse the same assets.
In software it's kind of the same. You can splitting an application into modules so each part is separate from an other.
For example a webshop may have a product listing module and a cart module. They may interact, but u can also reuse these building blocks in an another application.
For example you may turn your product listing block into a blog module by just swapping a few elements around.
The benefits are obvious, but they also have cons.
And others please don't beat me for this. I tried an ELI5.
tulip sigil
not sure where to post this, but i need some help with my custom model/ its animations. The right is what should be happening, but for some reason it appears upside down in the test area. if i rotate the mesh, most of the animations work ask well, but some still use this vertical pose.
any ideas on what i did/ can do to fix this?
tulip sigil
i retargeted them from another animation tho. plus, the way that the bugged animations are, if the montage works, its the normal animation thats off, and vise versa
unique kraken
anyone knows what ue4 does with the tangent/binormals when importing?
im not importing the tangent space.
just would like to know how they get created
thin tendon
Could be an issue with your skeletons pose when retargetting
tulip sigil
maybe? but both are identical.
thin tendon
If the skeltons are identical, why not just make both meshes share a skeleton so you don't need to retarget animations at all
tulip sigil
theres a significant size difference, would that matter?
thin tendon
Thats probably your issue if there is a significant size difference
grim ore
the skeleton setup might be the same but is the rotational of each bone the same?
tulip sigil
they should be identical
i took the original skeleton and model, and just duplicated them, and then scaled down both. and of course the new mesh is slightly different (as in, thinner neck, different sculpting and normals etc)
plus, if a bone was rotated, wouldnt all the animations have that issue? and not a select few?
thin tendon
Didn't you say it was only the retargetted animations that are broken?
tulip sigil
no, i retargeted like 2 dozen animations, and only 3 or 4 are goofed up
(its 3 animations and 1 additive animation)
thin tendon
ohh wait I think I remember seeing this before. Try checking out your root motion settings for those animations
tulip sigil
what should i look at/ check for?
hot grotto
how can i call a socket from sequencer (a sword that is already attached to my character) to make the socket to appear at a specific frame?
tulip sigil
are those available for both montages and normal animations?
thin tendon
I just got that one out of a regular animation
tulip sigil
ok cool.
idle compass
@plush yew ah I see, so it just basically means kitbashed model right ?
tulip sigil
i played with the root stuff, and there was no change
just doesnt make sence. ive retarged animations before, and never had this issue.
azure shore
hahah I love how I only just realised selecting geometry verts from the right ortho camera view selects all the vertices that are lined up, before that I kept going into perspective then selecting them all then going back again
plush yew
.
I did never understand this point about this kind of licenses... I understand that it means that you can't resell assets itselves to make money but, what if you use the free assets within a commercial game (compiled and packaged) ?
Those licenses almost never interfere with releasing a packaged project. They just want to make sure you're not redistributing the model in a format accessible by the end user.
Ok so it was my understanding. Great 🙂

im having and issue where my engine stops loading my project at 73%, which is always an asset loading issue
i found the blueprint causing it, and removing it allows it to load
it works after dragging it back into the content folder
celest creek
@spare steeple How long did you allow it to try loading for? I've had similar problems and it just took a very long time
spare steeple
a while
celest creek
Otherwise I'm not sure what to suggest, apart from waiting a bit longer... :/
spare steeple
cant package either
i remade the blueprint from scratch since its small and it still happens
ive also got it narrowed down to a few different nodes causing it
celest creek
Hmm... hard for me and my so-so skills to help troubleshooting without digging in, sorry.
spare steeple
but i dont see any reason theyd give an issue considering they exist in other blueprints
celest creek
Maybe rebuild the BP from scratch?
spare steeple
tried it
celest creek
I've done that a few times, works sometimes.
Sometimes I've had to disconnect a few things and connect again to get things up and running, recreating BPs usually clears dodgy connections etc up
It's not a sexy process
spare steeple
yeah ive had the issue before especially if i accidentally hot reload with changes to a cpp struct
celest creek
Luckily copy/paste nodes between BPs, compile, then use 'create variable' on the red nodes after the compile makes it not super annoying
yup, it can be a little flaky at times

[Niagara Question] I have two Emitters inside my system. The first one has a “Generate Location Event” and spawns one particle.

What am I doing wrong or missing?

Got this Bug, where you start off really slow and then when you sprint and go back to walk pace it is normal, anyone now a fix?

@plush yew Oh, you too ? ^^ I know at least two others persons that are exactly the same issue (crash when the shaders are compiling if clicking or moving the cursor in the viewport). Hope that Epic will fix this but if we are just 3 or 4 guys, I doubt about that... 😅
We have more issues in compiled game than in the editor
One of our main issues is if you alt tab before the game loads it crashes
We're unsure what causes it but it only happens on 4.24
fathom abyss
these crashes are annoying
plush yew
Our programmer has had to redo code countless times because of it
Because when it crashes, for some reason it corrupts the files
damn 😅
fathom abyss
Yeah, I nearly lost whole map (few square kilometers) because of these crashes
plush yew
Tell me about it. I lost an entire map I was working on for months because of these issues
I was extremely pissed
fathom abyss
ue4 did recovery after start
plush yew
Source control saved my ass but we only really push maps when we have massive changes to them to not overload our bandwidth
It did for us but there was so many things lost
fathom abyss
I learnt to save manually every few changes (even small changes)
plush yew
And the last upload was like a month previous because if we pushed every day we'd reach our data cap pretty quick
Well it corrupts the files for us
@plush yew "What makes it worse is the crashing during code compiling" -> Do you mean it crashes like during some compilations when you're working in the editor or during the final packaging of the project ?
it can be both
ok 🙁

sigh this side project for learning animation has grown large enough that I should put it into source control. Stupid real work lol
It's got me curious tho. Let's say you were watching a course or sitting thru a lecture on "intro to ue4" that was intended to be... and introduction to unreal engine 4. Structured around going from the launcher to a finished product you can show someone and touching on what I think are the basics so far (blueprint, landscape, materials, meshes, the editor, sounds, etc.) would you consider personally any of these to be important in an intro course? AI, Sequencer, Niagara, Animation
manic pawn
from the launcher to a finished product sounds like a 3 years long video
manic pawn
but you can only reasonably watch for like 8 hours a day, so we get to 4.5 years
lapis vine
@grim ore Anyway, my idea was that if you can replace something with pre-made asset might be better for introduction. Only exception if you target freakin' long course or multi volume one.
Bah, if you look 8h you never gonna be game dev. Need optimizations, hacking.
manic pawn
well you also have to actually do the thing after watching the video
so you're looking at 16 hour day + no weekends

my real issue with git right now is LFS requiring cloud storage. I dont have the upload speed to facilitate that, so local P4 server to backup disk to hard copy is my preferred method. If I had upload though, I would probably use git a little more for engine purposes these days. It's getting there.

you were assimilated by the borg and all they had for an eye was one of those 360 vr cameras
timber birch
yeah thats the furthest they go, unless you put 2 of them beside eachother

You forget about the other axis

I have 100 screens behind my first screen

And im not very happy with this new super ultra wide... might sell it
polar hawk
is it not wide enough
manic pawn
wtf its not 1440p?
polar hawk
so it isn't wide enough
timber birch
its 1200
normal burrow
if you take two ultra super wides and put them on top of eachother, is it double ultra super wide?
manic pawn
🚮
timber birch
3840x1200 😛
polar hawk
thats probably a firehazard
timber birch
@polar hawk yeah fair enough
normal burrow
two x super ultra wide tall
normal burrow
i also have 4k, i do think people with the crazy fov have it nice though
polar hawk
you're right I don't turn my head enough
timber birch
yeah my 52" 4k tv maybe i should use that 🤔

Skip all those steps and move your office into a redwood forest
timber birch
I'd sign for that 😄

my 43 inch 4k display has been broken the past two days of houdini, doing things on 1080p is a struggle
manic pawn
how come no one tried ultra tall monitors yet
imagine an ultrawide but turned on the side 90 degrees
timber birch
my 43 inch 4k display has been broken the past two days of houdini, doing things on 1080p is a struggle
@normal burrow Indeed
this is the one i had
or still have, but its in a closest
Don't want to sell it, because it is beautifulllll
manic pawn
that looks like it has no gsync
timber birch
Yeah its a design monitor not a game
normal burrow
gsync is kinda garbage
manic pawn
nah
timber birch
I don't game often honestly
manic pawn
gsync is fantastic
timber birch
I just develop games
manic pawn
especially if the resolution is so high that constantly running all games at 100 fps is impossible
timber birch
but its hard to swallow going from 1440p IPS to a 1200 super ultra wide VA 😦
normal burrow
its still vsync though
manic pawn
its not
normal burrow
game waits on it to show at the refresh rate
manic pawn
not if the game is running slower than the monitor can display
timber birch
4k on 32inch is to much and not enough. 2 of them is insane
normal burrow
yeah it wouldn't wait if it were faster :)
manic pawn
then the monitor will display immediately when the game has a frame ready, inverting how the sync works
which is exactly what you want
no stuttering or tears
normal burrow
with frame dependent physics like in unreal though, you give up smoother simulation by enabling vsync, its why the pro-gamers don't enable gsync
abstract relic
Is there even such thing as a pro gamer dev?
normal burrow
I think we had one on here awhile back
abstract relic
I mean beyond self proclaimed ones
normal burrow
By what authority then?
