If you ever wanted to change the distribution of lit up windows in the City Sample Project, here's how it can be done: www.versluis.com/2025/10/how-... #UnrealEngine5

Speeding up the Unreal Editor launch by … not opening 5500 files? In my last article I wrote about some tooltip optimization to reduce the start time of the Unreal Editor by 2-5 seconds. Turns out people do really care about their editor start time. So much that …

It's understandable that Unreal needs to touch a lot of files when starting the editor. But what if I told you that >5500 of those files are not needed for the editor to start at all and are just adding seconds to the editor launch time?

Unreal Engine's AI assistant certainly speaks the truth about the borked retargeter in 5.6+ #UnrealEngine

Some scary bugs in #IndianaJones and the Great Circle, with the latest Patch 5. All in Gizeh, with female NPCs from what I can tell. I've decided to start a new game after enjoying the DLC, and can confirm I've never had anything like this before the latest update. @bethesda.net youtu.be/nqSG2xk5ecg

I've tried out PCG Geometry Decals by Wouter Weynants today. What a JOY to use! Adding high-res detail to landscapes in #UnrealEngine has never been this easy. 💖

Anytime.

If only we could opt out of the AI craze ey? I'm so uninterested in it, I can barely put it into words.

Having said that, soon live broadcasts will surely be "AI edited" into handsome looking shorts that generate revenue for... everyone but the creator 😄 Mark my words! I was shocked to see how well an AI edit from GoPro looked in 2019, things will certainly have progressed.

They were actually very open about it when this launched and give creators the option to opt out, but of course by default they've opted everyone in. Trying to stay relevant I suppose, "tutorial videos" will soon be a thing of the past with AI holding everyone's hand.

Retargeting Yikes #UnrealEngine #CharacterCreator

Been off work for a couple of weeks, slowly getting better and recovering from pain attacks. Will keep you posted!

No worries, sounds good. Sorry to hear about her spider bite! I'm going through some health issues myself, liver values were off the scale last two weeks, getting better but just found out from a CT scan that I have a 3cm gallstone. Consulting a specialist now to avoid future emergencies.

You need to lean how to program and code, your skill will be easily replaced by a computer alongside your entry level job

Using a Modular Character with GASP in Unreal Engine I wanted to add a character to a GASP project that was made up of multiple pieces using the Character Builder Component. I didn’t quite know how to handle this at first, but thanks to the ven…

And here's how we can use a modular character with GASP in #UnrealEngine www.versluis.com/2025/08/usin... #GASP

The "new and improved" retargeting features in #UnrealEngine 5.6 are a total mess! How did this get approval for release? We should release a game with characters like this for a laugh.

How is "OK" the only option for a question like this? Microsoft are hilarious! #Teams

I made a little Photo Quest project in Unreal Engine, using DigiCam and the Windmill Valley freebie by Stylarts. Here's a quick show-and-tell: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaNB... #UnrealEngine #Stylarts

Quick test with two Mannequins from Silent Hill 2, imported into CC, animated in iClone, then rendered in Unreal Engine. Set is Apocalyptic Hospital by Meshingun. Look at them go! #SilentHill

Certainly close enough to the real truth!

Despite all the bad days and mean people, I still believe in good days and kind people. Plus, there are always dogs.

Some cloth draping experiments I've been working on over the last couple of weeks www.patreon.com/posts/making... #UnrealEngine #MarvelousDesigner #HeartOfMercy

Tried sending a character with clothing from CC to ZBrush. It's... sort of working? Perhaps I had horror mode enabled 🤐 #Reallusion #ZBrush
