My #metahuman Orc, I should really revisit this project and do a proper performance capture and render.

i would love to be added :)

Procedural Content Generation, basically its a system that allow you to place objects in a level using math. Here I'm using information from the landscape surface to control where to place rocks and trees etc.

I'm always amazed by how quickly a #PCG can populate a 4x4k map. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #unrealengine #ue5

haha, yea they are so cute. but look at those eyebrows!

I've not worked on four games yet but here's four movies

yes please!

haha yea its been a fun process letting it evolve!

My early experimentations that led me to start my duck game. #gamedev #unrealengine #ue5 #indiegame #indiedev #pixel

I find it much easier to visually understand your data, when you have a full grid of aligned points and copy data to density. Here I have added a gradient from optimal distance from spline multiplied some noise, copied density to scale and then at the end added back random offset and rotation. #pcg

I like to work with a full gride of aligned points right up to the end of of my graph when i add back in some random offsets and rotation. I use a copy attribute node to copy the attribute I'm working with (mostly landscape layer info or normals) to the density.

Below you can see its one #PCG spawning within a set of custom static mesh shapes. Using data from the landscape layers and multiple track splines.

I thought I'd do a bit of a breakdown on some of my #PCG process from the race track featured in this clip from StarAtlas. As its somewhat different from how I've seen most people using it. #UnrealEngine #environmentart #ue5 #gamedev

Where the Duck are they? testing out flying around my old Islandia landscape.

Mini teaser of the gameplay so far! This is my first game and I'm learning blueprints as fast as i can but its a lot to learn!
