I have achieved peak UVs in Blender, the Area View Debug is almost a LGBT flag.

I haven’t used it in a while (actually don’t think I ever used the UE5 one) but it feels like everything that was working fine in UE4 is not broken in UE5

Adding to that, if you're looking for your specific shader graph converted to HLSL, it can be found under the function CalcPixelMaterialInputs() (generally called around 80% towards the end of the file). You can copy & paste it into your favorite text editor to make reading and searching it easier.

Highlight of the python code ChatGPT generated when I asked him go generate me a .sbs file for testing purpose. The comments says that the file is actually fake and is only illustrative to simulate that he can generate these type of file when he cannot in fact generate them.

I did the same thing the other day when I was trying to figure out a Substance Designer tool, he proposed me to generate a .sbs file and I was like there now way you can do that but go on !!
This was is the Python code he used to β€œgenerate the file”

Some of thses Elden Ring OST are soooo good ! The second part of the main theme blow my mind every time and the Godskin Apostles is probably my favorite.

sometimes I regret not making a sci-fi game cause I won't have the opportunity to make some fancy effects like this !

I was looking at the older posts about this and I have to say I LOVE the grainy look that comes with the fog in the different still-shots !

If video game devs and publishers want to use genAi in their games, they are clearly okay with you pirating them.

Straight up.

Finally managed to get Custom Object Normal to affect lighting AND tangent space normal with custom packing to work together! Will try to do a proper thread later with the stuff I did and the resuls in case anyone is interested ! Now time to really craft the look of it all !

Cairn’s community has been speculating that we’ll release our survival climber game on THREE. While we love 3, how about we check the actual release date?

Just downloaded Unreal 5.6 to test the new version !! Apparently creating a new EMPTY level crash the engine ... EVERY SINGLE TIME !

Might stick to Blender for video stuff 'cause damn ...

Have you supported your local degenerates today?

multiple instances.

I never used the simple Switch node so I don't know how it would process these informations.

And for the IF node, I always try to replace it by simple maths whenever I can, especially in this case where running a comparison on the GPU is expensive for such a simple task

I wonder how the GPU would compile these in the shader compilation stage ... lerp is probably the cheapest in the end since it's all maths and it can be optimized by the compiler. My last pick would probably be the Switch Parameter as it can result in 4 different shader when you have ...

wondering if anyone who's good at tech art/graphics programmery stuff would be up for a little commish/contract work! basically I'm looking to get screen space ambient occlusion into Trenchbroom (and maybe other graphical enhancements, too)

hit me up if you've got the chops and interest for it!!

yeah it can be really useful if you need to do complex loops and such but if it's only mathematical operations it's always better to just do it with nodes

This is so true ! As a Technical Artist, I spent the last several weeks (months?) working on Engine modification and I miss doing art stuff so much !! I wanna work on my assets pipeline already ...

Yeah I think it would be interesting to have a stat like which percentage of players have a lower GPU than *insert reference GPU* !
