Happened upon this earlier, a one click copy and paste outline shader for #unreal.

Useful to get you started, and can customize after that! Its by someone that as far as I can tell, is a tech artist at Epic!

Damn where we you a week ago! Thanks this is awesome

Okay a really like the design of the new Affinity app.
Not sure about the Canva integration, but as of now you can ignore it/hide it.

Finally my team can all get on the same version of it too since its free!

#affinity #graphicdesign

Quick reminder for no particular reason:
Unreal Engine is just a tool.
Art direction and graphical features are a choice.

A sneak peek behind the scenes of a #skypyre convention setup!

@tjmoyes.bsky.social and I collaborated to build this beauty - THE BOOTH!

I've never felt quite as seen as I do now that Unreal - a game engine started with FPS games mind you - has native first person rendering 🙌

3 tick boxes later and you have this. No panini projection, no distortion, just - works.

Nick, where has all the Alt-Fire stuff been?

Here. In this Charlie Day red yarn meme of a level.

This is the scratches on the wall from someone desperately trying to figure out matched player character rigging 🤣

For the first one I want to shout out Splitgate 2! Not a particularly small game, but one that has revamped my interesting in PvP shooters.
Love the anti-snowball round based arena modes, and the vibrant style!

I'd say an engaging form of stress with resource management. Knowing you can never fully cover all your bases, paired with something scary I might not be prepared for, is the part I .. "enjoy" 😂 about SH games.

Hot tip #UE5 devs, if you are working on ton of maps, and want lighting to be consistent & easily debuggable, stuff 'em in a blueprint and tell your designers to use that instead!

I'll admit the BP viewport having a sky is unsettling though...

#mushroam #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #lighting

Drippity drip drop!

New mechanic in #mushroam, where you can redirect drops of water to your advantage. Something neat they do is disable sentries!

(still WIP)
