Itโ€™s super sad the CDPR has millions more and was encouraged to make the demo run on a lower end kit.

Wait. Arenโ€™t all those good things?

Are people just looking for reasons to be pissed at game devs?

I love you man but the liberal outrage machine has lost to Trump twice. If youโ€™re angry at your fellow American youโ€™ve missed the plot completely.

The true enemy of the American people is the person telling you the enemy IS the American people.

Nice! Are you using the nvidia branch or vanilla UE?

Thereโ€™s nothing iffy about โ€˜em. They work.

Itโ€™s paint without or with low metallic content so it looks flatter, itโ€™s also cheaper for the auto makers, and sold as an upgrade color!
I would also get it on a truck cuz it looks great :)

But I still use meshes from Houdini most of the time :)

You arenโ€™t wrong about performance, but, like all things game dev there are tradeoffs. Landscapes have some advantages, especially for gameplay design, layered materials and interop with other systems like PCG. And after being converted to Nanite and cooked are similar in overhead to Static Meshes.

These posts are fantastic and I learn something from them every day. I might not be a game designer, but learning what makes games work helps my work be more fun, engaging and easy to use and understand.

I bet this has some CHOICE lens flares.

The Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker Welcome to the Unreal Engine Issue and Bug Tracker. You can check the status of an issue and search for existing bugs. See latest bug fixes too.

This is excellent and you're a hero for uncovering it, but isn't fully baked quite yet. It looks like Virtual Textures don't quite support this features yet and is likely why it's not enabled by default. (Thanks, Adam!)

I could do this kind of work all day. Maybe some RSI but worth it.

Try turning the glass shadows off, or setting the glass actor to not be visible in ray tracing. You can also try adjusting the reflection and refraction bounces in your Post Processing. Good luck!

When did THIS get added? (Running Editor Utility Widgets in PIE, specifically) Sometimes you don't know what you don't know in Unreal!

Maybe if the plants gave up the oxygen grind and started producing caffeine they might get my attention.

USC's School of Cinematic Arts (incl Games) scholarship applications will open on Dec 15, and closing on Feb 15. You don't *need* to go to college for games to get into the games industry, but I don't want folks here missing out on potential support if they're considering that route.

I wasnโ€™t making a dice game in Godot before but now I have to reconsider my weekend plans.

This looks interesting: Free Unreal Fellowship: Games course hits the EDC (for a limited time). I.e., For few weeks we can access this course and learn from it.

Maybe Epic should setup a giant Cloud DDC/Zen server for everybody.
