[exotic thicket]

You don't really need it if you use C++ to spawn it... ExposeOnSpawn just makes it so that the variable also shows up in blueprint spawn nodes so you can achieve the same result from BP's as well if you needed it there

[hardy nacelle]

in Blueprint I am checking this variable in construction script

[exotic thicket]

Yeah it's enough to have BlueprintReadOnly for that

[wanton tiger]

Hey! someone have one idea for where can learn something like this https://youtu.be/CJBzmrziow8?t=179 for making a maping

[hardy nacelle]

@exotic thicket your solution works! Big thanks, that was really Big Brain Time 🙂

[pallid cove]

Ok, guys, I've finally tried the build function on XCode, but it doesn't work due to this error problem.

[solid gazelle]

Looks like a linker error in your project code base

[bold orbit]

Unreal is taking forever to package my game to a .exe. It's been about an hour and a half now. Is this normal?

Plus, it's compiling shaders

[mossy nymph]

depends on your CPU and number of shaders

it can take a while

[bold orbit]

I just packaged my game to a .exe, but it's taking up the full screen (meaning I can't minimize it), and I can't use the "esc" key either. Is there a solution for this?

[drowsy snow]

Alt+Enter

[bold orbit]

Thanks

[vague vapor]

hey there, after the epic launcher update my pages wont load correctly now im having a lightmass crash when i try to build. everything was fine yesterday before update

[drowsy snow]

Please use code formatting.

[narrow mauve]

Hm. There's an option to enter the name of a landscape layer in the splines, but entering the name doesnt have any effect

Is this meant for painting that layer along the spline?

[vague vapor]

@drowsy snowwhat do you mean? thats how it showed up, and i have editor debug symbols installed

[drowsy snow]

Please use code formatting with triple tilde (that ~ key)

like this

[maiden swift]

Code formatting will make it a little more readable, but what syntax would they choose?

[vague vapor]

there, thats what comes up right after reflection capture builds in the light building and then terminates the light building and gives this

[narrow mauve]

Nevermind I solved it

[vague vapor]

any ideas?

nvm i think im good, going into swarm and validating and cleaning cache may have solved it

[grim ore]

Whoo a couple more hours and then <Insert speculation here>

[unborn hound]

hey there

how do I create additional RecastNavMesh actor

I do have 2 supported agents setup

but I just don't know how to create second one on another level

[terse ice]

anyone know why this terrain mesh is just black?

i also can't seem to texture it in the mesh editor

[drowsy snow]

I thought you're doing the terrain with the landscape tool.

[terse ice]

no im using the terrain mesh that the hn prototype used

[cedar wave]

So....close....

[drowsy snow]

Well, my suggestion would be use the landscaping tool, as the similar symptoms could be from the lack of Blend Layer or unpainted surfaces.

[terse ice]

hm

i swear one time i used this mesh with textures

idk, lemme check with someone who might know about this mesh

[blissful kestrel]

anyone else having issues with the UE4 marketplace being completely broken in the last day? posted a screenshot in #fab

cant load any pages and when i load it in my browser it just shows the front page but cant search or browse through the pages

[drowsy snow]

Nope, mine still works even in shitty internet connection.

[blissful kestrel]

rip, saw somebody posted on the forums with the same exact issue but i guess its only affecting a few then

[drowsy snow]

Try clearing your Epic Launcher's webcache.

[blissful kestrel]

@drowsy snow sadly no luck

[drowsy snow]

Clean reinstall your launcher?

[blissful kestrel]

was gonna do that next, wierd that it doesnt work on my browser either though, even on my phone its broken

[drowsy snow]

I assume it's your ISP hating on Epic's web servers.

[blissful kestrel]

strange considering all the other parts of the epic infrastructure seems to be working fine

its litteraly just the marketplace

[lofty pike]

where can i ask question about UE in this discord ?

can i ask here ?

so when i'm importing sprites into my character for movement in side scroll game, when i walk left the sprite animation was to the other direction (walk right) , is there a way to flip the sprite without manually flipping it in photoshop to create a new sprite ?

[primal crow]

I’m trying to learn UE4 but I keep running into a visual problem with some of the pop ups. Any of the pop up windows disappear visually right as I open them. I can still use them but it’s just invisible. I’m currently using version 4.26.2.

That is the window I am referring to. I do have my graphics card up to date. When I tried to look into it it seemed that some people said it may just be a issue with the version I am using but sometimes it will work fines for a few days then on others it will break every fifteen minutes or so.

[drowsy snow]

Do you use NVIDIA GPU?

[golden niche]

Finally ue5 information today

[primal crow]

@drowsy snow I do have a NVIDIA GPU

[drowsy snow]

#ue4-general message

[primal crow]

Thank you very much! Youll save me a big headache.

[winter gale]

https://tenor.com/view/oops-cat-sassy-drama-boots-gif-7944317

[drowsy snow]

What does that signifies?

[golden niche]

No idea

[winter gale]

I'm guessing that the Launcher now supports to download Unreal Engine 5 which might get released after (or while) the presentation goes. Also the 4.26-Chaos branch disappeared. Nvm it came back after restarting.

[terse ice]

im trying...

i suck at lighting in ue4 lol

(im trying to replicate what's on the right btw)

[drowsy snow]

The left one is way better tbh

[terse ice]

yeah but

the point of this is to VERY accurately replicate the hn prototype

which is on the right

[drowsy snow]

I'd say the right one is ugly as freak.

[terse ice]

https://youtu.be/TKLx5rhpS2k

just watch it

i don't understand the lighting at all

[drowsy snow]

Hello Neighbour wasn't known for its good lighting 😛

[terse ice]

yeah

but in order for this to be a good prototype clone, i have to do it exactly how it i shown in the trailer here lol

[drowsy snow]

Don't imitate the bad - but improve upon it

[terse ice]

naahhh not yet

i want to do that, but not right now

for now i need it to be a replica of the original

later i'll do an improved prototype, and then make an improved pre-alpha based on the same project

[drowsy snow]

Very questionable, given Hello Neighbour's lighting is dogshit - I'd just not bother going for the shittiest look, but okay, whatever floats your boat.

[terse ice]

well yeah i'd for sure rather do the good lighting

but then my remake would be like the rest... not very accurate

hn community works in strange ways sometimes.

[drowsy snow]

That's not how remake works. That's straight up photocopying.

[golden niche]

Hello neighbor from a tech standpoint is hot garbage

[terse ice]

that's indeed the point

the prototype was never released, nor actually a proper build

but the house is cool so people want playable versions

[golden niche]

Ue5 🤤

[drowsy snow]

I'm not going to judge anymore, because I'd improve the heck out of it, not photocopying it. You do you.

[terse ice]

oh not to mention, the prototype never had an ai lol

this "remake" will have an ai

[terse ice]

k well what i was trying to imply is i kinda need help replicating it

[golden niche]

They changed the website!!

[drowsy snow]

My hard drive will be full of four version of Unreal Engine that's for sure lol

[terse ice]

since it's a steaming hot pile of garbage

[golden niche]

I really hope ue5 editor ui will be better

[drowsy snow]

I have my own modified 4.26 for my game, launcher 4.26 for marketplace stuff, github 4.27 for backporting new stuff, and then github 5.0 for research for next game.

[winter gale]

Its the same as UE4 as of now

[golden niche]

We dont know

[drowsy snow]

Look at Ninja Theory's twitter.
Hellblade 2 is slated to use UE5.

[winter gale]

Its there in the video where they show UE5

[golden niche]

Where?

[winter gale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntvrjeW2Pek

Video was recorded in Jan 2020 so maybe there might be UI changes

[golden niche]

The footage is a year old

Yeah

[winter gale]

Who knows 😋

[drowsy snow]

That's your newer version @golden niche

[golden niche]

Let me see

Well we only see the game window

[winter gale]

Trust me, the UI ain't gonna change (atleast for the preview version)

[drowsy snow]

See the viewport UI.

[golden niche]

I see that

But still, I hope in the final version we get ui changes

[drowsy snow]

UE4's Editor UI is perfection and flexibility IMO
Just need more icon consistencies across the board.

[golden niche]

rn ue 4 looks like a windows vista program x3

while the engine itself is a beast

[drowsy snow]

You can always modify the slate images without source builds.

[winter gale]

UE5 is not a complete rewrite. Its more like a glorified 4.27 version pumped with steroids

[golden niche]

well then why call it 5?

when I hear "unreal engine 5" I think of a big jump

[drowsy snow]

You can argue the same with Blender 3.0 😛

[golden niche]

lol true

fair enough

cycles x 🤤

[drowsy snow]

Also Audacity 2.x and 3.x

[golden niche]

yeah true true

but I've been used to the jump unreal made with 4 so I expected something similar

[winter gale]

4 was a complete rewrite from 3 thats why it was big

[golden niche]

my biggest wish for lumen is gpu baking for non rtx cards

[drowsy snow]

UE4 was developed in parallel along with UE3.

[winter gale]

Actually UE4 was branched off from UE3 and they slowly started replacing/rewriting stuff @golden niche

[drowsy snow]

UE5 simply follows the steps of UE4.

[golden niche]

interesting

I still find lighting to be a nightmare thats why Im so hyped for ue5

[winter gale]

UE4 development was started in 2004 and till 2008 or something Tim Sweeney exclusively worked on it

[golden niche]

I love what Epic is doing for game developers

like who would give something like metahuman and megascans for free??

thanks to fortnite money lol

[winter gale]

AFAIK there will be no baking at all in UE5 and Lumen is fully dynamic. I'm not sure if Swarm will even be included.

[golden niche]

no baking??? poggers!!

[winter gale]

Lumen is also not raytracing so non-RTX cards should work

[golden niche]

I hate baking

I can't think of anyone that doesnt

[drowsy snow]

Same
That's why I went fully dynamic lighting, even if that means deploying SSGI + LPV + 4.26's realtime sky light

[winter gale]

I'm guessing Lumen is SVOGI 2.0

[drowsy snow]

Speaking of editor UI, not only you can change editor Slate's image element, you can also swap the Roboto font.

[golden niche]

I did modify the UI :p

To make it look more modern

[drowsy snow]

#work-in-progress #released

[worldly lynx]

I created an angry animation using morph, it will show good in the editor but when I play the game it won't work, why?

animation will be run but angry morph not be showing!! help me

[upbeat rampart]

is there a good tool to unwrap textures and edit them in detail? is blender sufficient for this?

[drowsy snow]

Yes, Blender's sufficient for UV mapping.

[upbeat rampart]

but i mean to edit the textures

like draw on them

etc

[drowsy snow]

Blender's also supporting vertex painting while adhering the UV mapping.

[upbeat rampart]

vertex painting meaning like how you wuld model the mesh thru sculpting?

[drowsy snow]

Yes.

[dry marsh]

Hi guys, i'm creating a prototype for a game with Top Down camera but i want to move the character with keyboard (WASD) and the character rotate to the mouse location.
Any tutorial/video for make the movement forward, walk back, etc based on the character direction, etc?

[drowsy snow]

You could remove the AI move to and click direction functionality, and replace it with the third person template code.

Both template uses Character class, which has Character Movement Component inherited, so even bodge pasting should able to get you started. Make sure the input mapping in Project Settings matches though.

[dry marsh]

yeah, but i want more information like how to make character rotate to the mouse location

and manage the direction and walk behaviur if is back or forward

[drowsy snow]

Okay, first, the stock Blend Space doesn't put strafing and backward walk into account, so you need to get that covered on your own.

Second, you can set control rotation relative to mouse position by repurposing the "move on click" function. I forgot what exactly the nodes are, but you'd want to turn the mouse screen space into world space, and turn the control rotation facing to the mouse position.

[lapis plinth]

Hey guys, does someone knows why a few of my emissives materiels does not emit light anymore, are not visible, when i build lights ? if i move the object it light up again, and turn off when i build lights... thanks

[worldly lynx]

anyone don't know any solution for my problem?

[velvet palm]

Twinmotion Posed Humans 1
has skeletal meshes or static?

May be glTF Exporter
and in Blender auto rigg plugin...

[normal kraken]

Hey all, is there a way to have black wireframe on a mesh? The show > advanced > mesh edges is only light blue, any way to change the colour of it? Thanks.

[mild shale]

Hello Everbody. What is it? How i can fix? i change and export correctly light map but nothing changes

in blender it work perfectly

[plush yew]

is there any course for c++

recommended

[lunar depot]

looks like they waited until their hearing with apple was over before goind ahead with this presentation

that might be why no ue5 for sol long

[cursive sky]

How can i get the 4.24 version of unreal engine source

or does gamelift work with 4.26 now?

[naive dune]

Hype for UE5 features and workflow??

[thin tendon]

I am soo pumped for Ue5. Fingers crossed I can move my current project across

[thick herald]

My advice is to manage your expectations that way you won't be disappointed

[gray narwhal]

Yeah thats the place I ment. I was working late night so apologies for the wrong image. And it was not letting me drag in jpgs.
I had to write a cube map converter was all.
For your future information incase someone asks again. Let them know it wont accept jpgs and to use a cobemap converter.

[plush yew]

how can i boost the speed of player pawn at specific location

[thin tendon]

Wild guess. But on your character there will be some movement code. Save a variable called speed. Use that instead of set amounts. Then in your trigger area just change the variable for speed.

[serene birch]

my expectation is that I'll start a toy project on UE5 to try ALL the new features and I'll have fun seeing them break in creative ways 😄
yeah I'm not hard to please really

[upbeat rampart]

hey guys

i made a camera but the game doesnt start with it

[plush yew]

why i cant see light

[naive dune]

Good advice, but !hype !hype !hype

13 minutes left guys

[modest trench]

1. is Verse a thing or just a fortnite gimmick?

[thick herald]

Not a thing yet.

[modest trench]

2. ECS they accidentally hinted at a real thing for user code or just an internal thing?

[true falcon]

Predictions:

• No new UI,
• No immediate preview (I so hope I'm wrong)
• Github preview in July (maaaybe)
• Virtual heightfield (to replace displacement) & layers, water, as new default landscape paradigm
• World Grid (maayybe)
• Even more Control Rig integration

[modest trench]

64 bit precision etc

[true falcon]

that seems all but confirmed

Whats the deal with GAS in UE5? Fully implemented?

[verbal shadow]

[regal mulch]

But Production Ready Release early 2022 is still quite some time

[sinful breach]

rip their servers

[thin tendon]

OMFG did you guys here about how we will be able to just upgrade current projects to 5 easy peasy. I am drooling right now.

[dense knoll]

GAS was always fully implemented?

[wispy saddle]

I'm pretty sure they said that at the end of the stream.

[cedar wave]

At the end @safe rose

[serene birch]

[sinful mesa]

2022 still far far far faraway 🙂

[barren flume]

[serene birch]

[brazen coyote]

ue5 is sooo inane bro

[plush yew]

I can't wait to try this out

FOrgot about this

[faint roost]

This is the thing that always kept me with UE and away from Unity, right here

[maiden otter]

download seems to have died or just me?

HOW DO I DL

[weary tapir]

The race is on!

[safe rose]

And not much so far 😭

new gameplay feature stuff looks sick

[wispy saddle]

fully restart epic games store

[proper scroll]

God I have to imagine the servers will crash soon

[golden niche]

they took extra months for it

[regal mulch]

So I assume it's not at all recommended to actually try to make and release a game with the EA version, right? :D

[quasi pasture]

Settings/Update and restart

[pulsar badge]

restart the epic games store

[plush yew]

Thank you. I see it now

[wispy saddle]

guys im at 25 percent lets go

[golden niche]

you could

[leaden dust]

@regal mulch literally a big fat disclaimer when you click install

[maiden otter]

I mean technicallyyyyy

[safe rose]

Yup, not much shown, but a lot of the "programming side stuff" isn't visual... so not something that you can "show off" that great, especially if you want to "wow" people, so I kinda understand it from Epic's perspective... just sucks for us that cater more towards non-visual stuff

[plush yew]

I wouldn't

Too unstable

[true falcon]

I hear the sounds of a billion kickstarters launched

[quasi pasture]

World is yours do whatever you want

[wet grotto]

I'm downloading it

[honest vale]

38% done

[regal mulch]

WELL

[wispy saddle]

nice

[plush yew]

Can I run UE5 with a RTX 2060?

[pure jacinth]

a few released games on ue4 EA so

[ripe geyser]

Guys please tell me, did they add an intermediate language between C++ and Blueprint? :S

[regal mulch]

You all seem to either be very much against it, or very much loving the idea of ignoring the EA text

[plush yew]

no @ripe geyser

[peak veldt]

of course

[unkempt delta]

LETS GO

[true falcon]

Can you run lumen on a 1080ti? raycasting?

[uneven hemlock]

I cant find it

[hasty pewter]

online learning servers overloaded?

[plush yew]

What about a Ryzen 3?

[uneven hemlock]

Wherer do i update epic games

[deep stump]

Unreal Verse, but i dont think they mentioned it

[wet grotto]

probably my old PC will explode

[safe rose]

Well, seeing how EA for UE4 wasn't public, this is the result 🙂

[pure jacinth]

i hope they hit their 60fps target for lumen

[tawdry python]

howww

[unkempt delta]

LETS GOOO

[tawdry python]

I don't have it

[uneven hemlock]

Where do i update epic pls help

[regal mulch]

I wonder if the EA version has something stripped.

[peak veldt]

you might have to crank down the settings but it should be fine

[wet grotto]

i7-3770 and a GTX 1060

[plush yew]

lesgo guys

[pulsar badge]

half way done!

[hollow moat]

UE5 hype train

[safe rose]

Oh, I'm sure it's most definitely not 100% complete, they might not want to review all their eggs in one basket

[thick herald]

restart your launcher, it's in a seperate tab

[plush yew]

rest in polygons unity

[deep stump]

relaunch launcher completely and there is a ue5 tab

[plush yew]

someone post pic of the ui 😩

[naive dune]

I didn't expect release to be this sudden

[stoic rover]

damn this demo is heavy

[cedar wave]

Release ASAP - beat Ninja Theory to being the first non-Epic game that is using UE5 in the wild.

[uneven hemlock]

how do i just close it and re-open?

[deep stump]

where do u download tab

[tawdry python]

I'm restarting now

[junior rock]

i wonder the performance reqs will be more or less then ue4, i have a low laptop

[deep stump]

alt f4 it lol

[ebon marlin]

is the github page down?

[stoic rover]

https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/unreal-engine-5

[wispy saddle]

this is gonna be a big boi donwload

[uneven hemlock]

O I SEE

[spare kernel]

Can we move UE5 discussions to #ue5-general 🙂

[maiden otter]

scroll down on ue5 tab its there in launcher

[hasty pewter]

3950x woot woot

[stoic rover]

they didn't update the repo yet

[trim mantle]

I think we all a bit too hype for that xD

[shadow pawn]

hopefully nvidia dlss can be integrated soon to cut down on requirements

[regal mulch]

Na I mean, if it actually allows developing a project with it, or if they are like "Oh no, you can't package with this EA version!".

[spare kernel]

Understandable, 🙂

[north hedge]

yasss

[naive dune]

I didn't expect them to release so sudden..we got the behind the scene videos, then this video and straight after release??

[safe rose]

Ah, I am sure someone in the next 10 minutes will have that figured out

[naive dune]

All happen within 2 days

[minor pine]

It's 7.3G if you remove useless stuff like iOS support

[marsh swallow]

downloading now!

[peak veldt]

12 core? jesus

[naive dune]

I thought they'd build it up longer lol

[marsh swallow]

i rly wasnt expecting them to release

[ripe geyser]

Oh my god really?! I almost lost hope! Damn, can't wait to see what it is exactly! In the documentation there doesn't seem to be anything about it, so maybe it's not yet available for the early access?

[wispy saddle]

those 2 days were HYYYPPEE for me

[plush yew]

That's not that bad

[honest vale]

ooh there's an async character movement component now https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/ue5-main/Engine/Source/Runtime/Engine/Public/CharacterMovementComponentAsync.h

[scarlet birch]

This is the correct link to the source : https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/tree/5.0.0-early-access-1

[safe rose]

You know what gets me mad though?

UE5 is "smaller"

[true falcon]

the announcement was amazing, but surprisingly short with no after-cuddling

[deep stump]

YEah they might officially announce it later

[safe rose]

Until you enable Editor Symbols 🙂

[plush yew]

HAHA trueeee, I was so confused on why the download size was so small

oh

nvm

LMAO

[honest vale]

they just left you in the cuddle puddle

[shadow pawn]

where to download the valley of the ancients project?

[wispy saddle]

go to the ue5 menu

[ripe geyser]

Just the fact that they are planning to add a mid-layer language is enough for me, even if it comes later 😄

[shadow pawn]

ah thx

[fierce tulip]

inb4 first "y u no update marketplace pack to ue5"

[urban bough]

WHy isn't this showing up when I add a new engine version

[plush yew]

Can we make games with UE5 or is the early access just for seeing the features?

Where do you enable editor symbols? I didnt see it in my download

[safe rose]

Go to UE5 tab up top first

[ashen brook]

WHO'S HYPE YOU'RE HYPE

[deep stump]

Right. Super exciting

[marsh swallow]

wait its over

[plush yew]

.

[median wigeon]

[marsh swallow]

i took my headphones off for 1 minute

and its over

[spare kernel]

Just letting you peeps know there is a #ue5-general channel where you can discuss UE5.

[plush yew]

Oh so we can?

[exotic otter]

is there maybe a way I can render my scene capture HDR inverse opacity and then apply postprocess and LDR tonemapping in code afterwards?

[patent cobalt]

Link to source code doesn't work but it is in the GitHub dropdown

[exotic otter]

I have the issue that I render a certain scene capture to a render target but in LDR capture source mode, the transparency is fully opaque

[tawdry python]

[patent cobalt]

ok they fixed the link to the source code

[tawdry python]

their servers are dead tho it seems

[grim ore]

in case no one saw it, more UE5 stuff tomorrow on the livestream!

[tawdry python]

I usually get 50MB/s

[verbal shadow]

im getting 10 or so and usually get around 12-13 so not too bad

[scarlet birch]

yeah, kinda shocked I'm getting decent download speeds at all on it right now.

[solid gazelle]

I feel asleep, did something happen?

[honest vale]

nope, you can go back to sleep

[verbal shadow]

nope

[cedar wave]

Not as excited honestly. They were talking about doing more deep dives into the shown systems. At least from what I understood about their announcement. I mean, World Partition is straight 🔥 though

[solid gazelle]

k cool, thanks

[clever vault]

nothing

[shadow pawn]

until early 2022

[analog blaze]

I hope there's SVG support for the next iteration of UMG

[dry moon]

Source not up yet eh?

[honest vale]

it is

[dry moon]

I'm getting 404 on the git

[honest vale]

https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/tree/ue5-early-access and https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/tree/ue5-main

[shy rover]

how do you get 5.0?
i add a new install version on the launcher
5.0 isnt listed there

[dry moon]

ah ok

I got i in ue5-main

[sharp shadow]

there is special UE5 tab

[tawdry python]

restart the launcher

[honest vale]

is his nick seriously a chain link fence?

[vagrant hornet]

does nanite work for terrain?

[safe shoal]

That Async character movement looks like it's for integration with the physics scene. That's a massive step forward.

[cedar wave]

Yeah - I was reading about async physics

Looks neato

[shy rover]

i restarted the launcher 2 times now it still doesn't appear,
max is 4.26

[uneven hemlock]

end the task in tsak manager

[tawdry python]

welp restarting my launcher was enough

[spare kernel]

Just to remind people, there is a #ue5-general channel.

[vagrant hornet]

ue5 top right

[sterile lichen]

you have to click on download early access and it will appear

[tawdry python]

remind we were talking here before it was created and nobody said anything until now

[spare kernel]

i have said it a few times 😄

[cedar wave]

It's been said about 3 or 4 times now.

[frail sail]

So guys in the UE5 can we disable opening epic games launcher automatically?

[tawdry python]

I swear I didn't see it :o sorry then my bad

[devout grove]

i want to watch a tutorial but when i press "Start Course" it just says that something is wrong or smth like that idk. what do i do?

[plush yew]

too many people want to watch it -> server busy

[devout grove]

hmm

[devout grove]

ty

[serene fog]

so, has anyone tried it yet?

ah wait there's another channel

[velvet palm]

Need dynamic snow MasterMaterial with fottstep interaction of height texture.

[plush yew]

how can i fix this

[devout grove]

that looks cool

but idk

[meager tiger]

yeah i just saw it lol

[azure bough]

I have a few meshes made in blender and what to use in unreal. Should I import every one as an actor with a meshcomponent or should I have one actor with multiple mesh components? Is there even a big difference? They are all just static meshes standing there

[ionic haven]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDU_Txk06tM #unreal-news

[half turret]

eughhhhhhh

[ionic haven]

pelase crab rave

[tawdry python]

fix what?

[tawdry python]

depends if you want to move them around one by one or not

for performance it's better to export them as a single static mesh afaik

[cold condor]

Cool UE5 available for early access

[jaunty sable]

Yes

Too bad I can't access it until later

[rare agate]

This feature set is ridiculous. Y'all definitely hit that major version increase.

[plush yew]

There are things like the IK rig that is already in 4.26

[weary hull]

finally something to test my 3080 with

[plush yew]

you can chat in #ue5-general

[azure bough]

really? if it is just one mesh, then it can cull those meshes that aren't in the camera frustrum?

[rare agate]

I'm still rocking a 1060, so I'm gonna see how much I can stress test it by throwing random assets down later.

[plush yew]

Nanite is not so heavy they told something like that was like moving fortnite

[plush yew]

you have 1060 i have quadro m2000m

so I think any graphic card can handle it

but realtime light not

[tawdry python]

yup that's something you might want to keep in mind too

[latent sentinel]

how much gb is the download size?

[tawdry python]

it depends on what you're talking about, if it's one single object with multiple parts then you should probably export it as one SM to reduce the number of actors since they would all be shown at the same time but if it's multiple things it's better to not bundle them together so that they can be culled

[sterile tulip]

Damn guys

[azure bough]

it's the later. I still wonder if one actor with multiple components or multiple actors is the right way. Or if it matters at all

[wintry summit]

Crashes left right up and down. 🙂

[sterile tulip]

Do we have unlimited revenue with Megascans asset or is there a yearly revenue limit where we need to start pay megascans

[tawdry python]

I don't think components of a single actor are culled

[tawdry python]

no it's unlimited

it's covered by the 5% cut of the engine's license I assume

[azure bough]

oh really? isn't it on meshcomponent level?

is this documented somewhere

[dire coral]

where can i get EA of ue5 and is it even out currently

[dusk nebula]

Will the guides for this version of UE4 still be relevant if I upgrade after the full UE5 release?

[tawdry python]

restart the launcher you'll get an ue5 tab

[tawdry python]

not sure it sounds a little bit advanced

try to ask in #graphics maybe they know

actually you might be right I think it's on mesh component level

the bounds used for culling can be set on a per mesh component basis in the engine

[azure bough]

I found a section in the docu "Visibility and Occlusion Culling". But the use words like "objects" so it's not really clear

[tawdry python]

yeah I read that one too

there was a live made by the creators of the upcoming chivalry game

[plush yew]

So is unreal 5 gonna be less bloat ware than 4?

[tawdry python]

you might find an answer there, it's on the official Unreal youtube channel (or twitch) @azure bough

[sterile tulip]

Oh thank you very much, I thought there is a revenue limitation before. We can also modify the megscans asset however we like right? @tawdry python

[tawdry python]

definitely yes

you even have tools made by Quixel to edit and merge them

you can find videos made by them, on how to change their theme and make them yours @sterile tulip

[vital cosmos]

UE5 PagMan

[sterile tulip]

Thank you so much ❤️ 😊 😊 ☺️

@tawdry python

[fervent igloo]

Is the UE5 Engine needed to play the ValleyoftheAncient game? I would think so but its taking forever to install the engine and I know it will be way longer for the game, which is why I'm wondering

[plush yew]

yes it comes included

[fervent igloo]

ok, thanks

[dusk steppe]

anyone building from UE5 source?

tryna figure out what it's looking for but not much info

I need some help. I've been at this for hours now. I have a niagara particle system on my actor and I'm scaling it. The scaling works as expected in the viewport: https://i.imgur.com/qSHcVAj.png but not in game: https://i.imgur.com/fIwoHfv.png

Any ideas how to fix this?

[tawdry python]

I'm pretty sure people over at #niagara would help you better

[quaint snow]

anyone here uses AirSim?

[clever axle]

@tawdry python I'm not so sure about that ;P

[azure bough]

I asked in graphics and the answer was component level

[tawdry python]

I felt it would be the case because of how the settings are

[azure bough]

but then the question remains: does it matter if I use one actor with muplite components or multiple actors?

[tawdry python]

if you can use one actor with multiple components it would be better for performance as multiple actors would have their associated code running (although I'm pretty sure it'd be minimal)

but I'm not sure about this either honestly

you should probably go with which one feels better to work with and modify imo and not really think about performance too much

as long as you don't have stuff in the tick function on blueprint you should be fine

[ornate forge]

Uhh

[azure bough]

I actually doen't use blueprints. I create everything from c++, so it doesn't really matter for me if I create one actor + components or multiple actors. I feel like one actor might be a bit more lightweight too. But I guess the usual workflow would be to drag stuff in the scene creating one actor per mesh.

[rare agate]

Ah. That is why the nanite showcases are deserts, primarily. You can put them on grass and trees, but they cannot bend or blow in the wind. The transforms can move, but the shader material doesn't support world offsets.

Hey guys, I want my character to be able to switch between these facial expressions. How would I go about doing this?

[tawdry python]

no clue, try #paper-2d

[tawdry python]

I'm pretty sure actors that only have a static mesh component would be virtually the same as a single actor with multiple static mesh components

[latent sonnet]

This would be considered a paper 2D problem?

[tawdry python]

oh it's in a 3D character?

sorry I didn't understand

[latent sonnet]

Yeah it is.

I just want to change the texture

In blueprints

[ornate forge]

Is UE5 using Chaos for vehicles?

[tawdry python]

I wonder actually that's a good question

@latent sonnet you would most likely need to use an offset in a material

[steep night]

Hello guys, my name is Jermaine Lenzy and Owner of Realism Studios. I am creating a new game but first starting off with a prototype of a game called Rogue Survivors. It's a Co-Op FPS realistic game about a group of people called the Jacoblins. Their home was destroyed by the other countries such as the United States, UK, Brazil, China, Japan and more. They seek revenge for what they have done and plan on taking control of all the countries. They first seek out their plan against the US and is in thr midst of kidnapping the president. When a Code Red Emergency was called upon by the president. You and your partner must protect the president and seek out the Jacoblins and take them down.

So I am really needing a experienced programmer to help me finish the prototype. Rates will be negotiated once interviewed. I have started the prototype but I need a more experience programmer. I will greatly appreciate if there is anyone out there who is able to complete the task.

Thank you guys!

[tawdry python]

@latent sonnet you need to make a dynamic material instance, use some kind of index parameter in your master material that can switch off the faces with an offset in the UVs and you should be set

[latent sentinel]

uhh thanks god. I was thinking it's more than 40gb

[latent sonnet]

Okay... Is it bad that I have no idea what you're talking about?

Lol I'll look it up though

[ornate forge]

Check the job board

[tawdry python]

I can find some useful links one sec

[latent sonnet]

Ight, Thanks man

[latent sonnet]

I actually saw that but I am not that advanced in modeling/rigging lol

[runic iron]

Yeah I meant just the part at 0:35 😄

[tawdry python]

what did you use to make the model?

https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/WorkingWithContent/Types/StaticMeshes/HowTo/UVChannels/

I think you might be able to use UV channels with each channel having a different face as the UVs of the head

[rich reef]

So, is UE5 also a shader/code compile simulator?

[cedar wave]

#ue5-general

[latent sonnet]

I used blender

[tawdry python]

I might be completely wrong about UV channels tho

[runic iron]

I think the dynamic parameter which would add an offset to the texture coords may be a good idea

Or a spreadsheet as mentionned in the vid above

[tawdry python]

@latent sonnet https://lesterbanks.com/2020/04/how-to-use-multiple-uv-channels-for-decals-in-blender/

this is how you should be able to use UV channels on the blender side

overloaded it seems

[chrome hedge]

what's the command for streaming in vc?

Hey i have a question regarding cleaning up your code/workspace.

When Im grouping chunks of code into their own functions for better readability is there anything that I should look out for. For example, are there any downsides/issues to grouping lines of code into their own function rather than just leaving them there with some comments. Aside from things to do with scope

[desert verge]

i can't create the new sample map on my D drive?

[plush yew]

i do open world development and even i only have 48gb

[desert verge]

keeps saying i don't have enough space on C:?

[plush yew]

@desert verge to install on another drive you need to change the location of your vaultcache (epic games launcher, settings, edit vault cache location)

[tawdry python]

well they are going to be passing around uncompressed full resolution movie quality 3D assets IN an open world environment

so it makes sense

[desert verge]

is that only for that project?

i'm able to create other projects on my D

[plush yew]

yes they are. thjey were saying the robot was 50 million triangles...

[desert verge]

that's a lot of triangles

how much does a standard project have?

i literally just started unreal a few days ago

[sterile tulip]

Really?

[plush yew]

idk a overwatch charater would have like 90k triangles max

or a robot in horizon zero dawn has a few hundred thousand

[desert verge]

that robot is bloody massive

[static folio]

It’s incredible, thank you Epic

[sterile tulip]

Where did you find out this information? @rare agate

[desert verge]

thank you! this worked
