hmm interesting, only difference really with my setup is I'm using triggervolume overlaps (on enter/exit) to start the logic

Thanks Alexis! I will try both of these approaches, I ran into the culling problem a while back when switching cameras and ended up turning that stuff off completely as I'm not rendering anything particularly modern or demanding ๐Ÿ˜„ I didn't know about Owner No See, would be very handy if that works!

Good call but its not that unfortunately, I already had to disable occlusion culling because it was playing havok with fixed camera angle switching

05.02.2026 13:35 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I've tried Set Hidden, Set Visibility and Set Render in Main Pass - they all have the same issues. Even putting a Delay until tick or 0.1 Delay between hiding and the camera cut doesn't fix it.

pls help lol

question for unreal engine sickos

I'm trying to hide/show static mesh components (on scene actors) when my camera cuts (fixed camera Resi Evil style)

but whatever I try there is always a frame or two of pop-in where the meshes are visible/invisible. I'm going mad lol

2025 was another amazing year for indies but there were too many that didn't get anywhere near as much attention as they deserved.

Here are 5 of my favourite underrated titles and a montage of 129 upcoming ones, so get your wishlists ready!

Iron Lung was great fun! It's no easy feat to keep an audience captivated for 2~ hours with just one actor/location making up most of the screentime, Markiplier and gang did a fantastic job. Was genuinely surprised by Markiplier's acting chops, dope sound design too ๐Ÿ‘Œ

ah ty, very helpful. I'm a bit put off by substance as ive only ever really used 3DCoat before (and just hand painting diffuse). I guess i should give the trial a go

13.01.2026 22:33 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

that's good to know, ty :) Do you hand author a bunch of baseline roughness types then adapt them to various models or is there like a library of them people typically use? So far ive been adapting my diffuse and painting in extra info when needed but feels like theres a quicker way lol

13.01.2026 21:37 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

been tinkering with making roughness and normal maps for a lil stylised test (only ever really used diffuse before lol)

anyone got any hot tips or cool advice? I'd like to make something similar to Gylt's visuals

I pay a silly amount of money to Wix to manage all my website/emails/mailing list etc so it was fairly easy for me to set up and manage.

I do recommend it though, I think there are free services like MailChimp. I typically see most subs around the time im releasing something :)
