YouTube video by Apparance Proc-Gen Dev Stream #2 - Space Station Editing & Corners

Of course this largely won't make any sense unless you watched the stream 😆 I was trying to demo a new feature, but it wasn't working so left it and went on to work on another thing.

Worked out why my resizing handles weren't working; I set the Parameter name to the frame input of the sub-procedure, which was called 'Bounds', but it needed to be the name of the input on the top-level room procedure, which was called 'Frame'. Phew! Working as intended. Will revisit next time.

Second stream done! Thanks for joining in, we tidied up the corners, how sizing was handled, and had some great technical questions. Watch again here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhAi...

I'm away next week 🏖 but back on the 21st August for episode #3

Live now! 😬

Streaming again in a while! 📺
(Might be slightly late as something last minute came up, will start as soon as I can after 1 BST/12 GMT)

Support from a follower here. Can offer a little 🫂

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

I'll either be adding some editing handles to the room to make it easier to work with, or I'll show you how we can use all the various sizes of floor tiles to fill out a floor area in interesting ways.
If you missed last weeks stream you can watch it again here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IguZ...

I'll be streaming again tomorrow (Thurs 7th Aug) at 1 PM (BST) (12 GMT). Continuing with the procedural space station! Join me on my Twitch Channel:

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

Wait! You can use the mouse?! :o

ooh, ASCII art and Tile-map based work (level editor, pattern design)

oh, yeah, forgot about them. I know them as Hama beads here. :)

Like saying cross-stitch and mosaic is just another form of painting?! No, also different media.

🤣🤣🤣

"So from an executive perspective, lighting comically large piles of money on fire trying to teach graphics cards how to read is, surprisingly, the logical play."

- fascinating read, would recommend.

Minimize the number of times you get COVID because it's a systemic neutrotropic vasculitis, not the respiratory infection you think it is.

The person who invented the video game joystick has disappeared, they down right up and left.

Yes, absolutely the OG. Inspired me to finally get around to it. I look forward to your next stream 😉

The plan is to make this a regular occurrance, so I'll try to stream weekly when I can. Watch this space for news.
There's plenty more to do with the assets and the space station idea, and lots of proc-gen technical implementation to dig into.

* Had a bit of an audio issue for the first few minutes where my voice is bit quiet :|

Simple sci-fi space station room interior built from modular assets, assembled procedurally and rendered in Unreal 5.

Screenshot of the live stream, showing the Apparance procedure editor over the top of Unreal editor. The viewport shows some sci-fi corridor walls and my face is overlaid bottom left.

Todays inaugural Apparance proc-gen dev stream went really well*. I built a simple space-station room out of asset pack parts. It's resizeable and parameterised, with a bit of variation thrown in. Thankyou if you joined the stream and for the great question about loops v recursion I was asked.

Stream is live. Starting in 10 minutes. www.twitch.tv/ga5p0d3

Reminder, at 1 BST (12 GMT) today: Join me building space stations procedurally with the Apparance plugin. Hopefully this will be the start of some shared #ProcGen adventures together. :)

Space station parts asset pack

I'm going to try live streaming some procedural generation dev with Apparance tomorrow from 1pm BST (12 GMT) tomorrow on Twitch. Come along and watch me make a mess of my first stream, and see if I can manage to build some bits of space station from a Fab asset pack. #ProcGen #GameDev #LiveStream

😆
Good work tho. 👍

You weren't inspired by sewing bee by any chance were you? 🙂🤔
