Quick tip for people just learning Unreal Engine - if you see someone confidently giving advice that's a little too vague and nonspecific, rather than chase that rabbit hole, check their post history.
If you see them melting down when people push back on their ideas, just ignore all their advice.

needed a lens flare sort of effect for my distant terrain wind turbines. spent some time looking at refs and stuff but then realized I could just draw one in CSP and almost anything roughly shaped right would look good cuz it just needs to add a little "pop" from >2 km away

Spent the morning modeling air ducts and a rooftop HVAC unit because I realized the walls in my game's store were too thin to plausibly provide enough air flow to cool a heavily-windowed sales floor *and* a walk-in cooler.

AI art has never helped people with disabilities create art. It lets people flood websites with stylistic counterfeits of popular artists and pretend it's theirs.
I always defined art as "a person using their skill and imagination to express anything." AI art still manages to fall outside of that.

Super low-poly wind turbines to act as a background prop for my game Anza (matched more or less to their real-world locations), only one mask texture for the red lights, rest is just a flat base color. All animation done in a basic WPO shader using per-instance randomness. #Anza #Gamedev #indiedev

anyway really loving DCSS's forgecraft magic school. It's super fun and dynamic, super-powerful too. Esp on some of the weirder species like Gnoll or Mountain Dwarf that can take advantage of a lot of its' unique mechanics like AC-based spell damage or the multi-school spells

Had some Desert Fun this weekend. Always gorgeous after the rain. Cholla all vibrant and happy, coyote gourds all plump, and bright red chuparosa hosting a lot of happy-looking bees and monarch butterflies.
Good times along the wash.

Well well well, here's the quick version, still a lot to do to fully integrate it but this works. I had to mess with the inverse kinematics a bunch since I redesigned the arm and all the angles were out of whack. I've wanted this for a long time!
