As a result, I finally switched to UE5.6 btw.
Bravo, bravo.

I feel a bit silly to realize this now😀

I use a 4K monitor and always wondered why my UE5 projects don't run at a decent framerate even on M4 Max...
And today, I reduced the resolution to 1920x1080, and now I have projects that run as smooth as mink.
I hope it helps those who are brave enough to use a Mac for UE5🙏

Pie Menu Editor is finally available on Blender 5.0!

As mentioned in the official thread, you may want to update it on 4.5 and export the JSON to be safe.

Made in Affinity Designer.

What's going to happen to Affinity btw🤔
Most people online seem to feel negative about it. Hm.

One Caveat: only M3 and M4 series support hardware ray tracing, which is required for MegaLights.

Hideori T @hotchpotchhouse.com · 18d

Everyone!
MegaLights finally works on Mac in 5.7!

Off→16FPS
On→40FPS

Reworked the ledge-hang logic. It’s now more efficient, stable, and just better overall!
You can now control how far the character moves and slide smoothly along curved ledges.
A little more polish and it’ll be ready to go✨

Optional setup for objects whose origin is not at the center of bounding box.

Made a thumbnail maker with #geometrynodes .
It renders square thumbnails of 3D models regardless of their size.

Hope I can show what I'm making with it soon🙂

I found a plugin so game changing I would buy it twice.

What it does is make all SMs in the project into ISM on packaging.
No need to make PLA or logic to align ISM/HISM anymore.
Wow!

Made a simple Editor Util Widget that changes the time in Ultra Dynamic Sky☀️
UDS has a built-in tool like this, but mine also applies settings for the time like exposure, contrast, skylight leaking, etc.
