Today is the day! Crazy to see this out in the wild, but after a hangup with the build review, I got approved right at the end of the month.

Time to get to work on new content! Happy Halloween!

Unreal tutorial: if you plug a world position node into the emissive of a material and place it in the center of the world, you get different rainbows depending on the shape of the object.

Happy Pride Month!

I'm releasing a free Asset Pack for Unreal Engine 5. It's a collection of 17 SDF Material Functions that allow you to generate various dynamic shapes at lossless resolutions.

As someone who works in tech for a large corporation, I really wish people would stop blaming tech for the failings of capitalism. Eyes on the prize people.

It's very frustrating to watch tech dev wrestle control over voice and narrative from the audio department and writing departments respectively while at the same time so eager to exploit the creative work of the very employees that made them industry leaders in the first place.
Wise words from Ashly Burch.

And having had the pleasure of working with Ashly, it's miserable that there are those who are eager to replace skilled professionals with this underperforming technology.

When I went to SoTFest I wanted to see the eastern coast of the UK, and the train by me went to Skegness. People were confused why a US tourist would go there, meanwhile being from NJ I felt right at home.

you know what, i never saw enough people using this while i was learning unreal so imma use some tags because HEK it a good feature to know about #ue5 #unrealengine #gamedev #unreal5 #indiedev
i'd like it for unreal to take unconnected pins as zeroes, but for now we got a messy little Right Click Split Struct Pin approach which i use everywhere, especially when i don't wanna clutter my bp with a bunch of make vectors and make rotators n stuff. good feature. works with all types of pins.

2/2 So to help address this, I’m going to try out a format that I’ve been wanting to give a go: a drop-in Q&A! You come with questions, and I’ll answer them to the best of my knowledge.

I’ll be streaming tomorrow at 7 PM PST to go over the world’s dumbest tariff war at twitch.tv/thefrenchcanuck!

Someone suggested a kite accessory for their robot on stream and I put a foliage shader on it so it ripples in the wind. Really happy with the result so far.

In unreal you can move, rotate or scale without touching the widget
it's:
ctrl + LMB drag (X axis)
ctrl + RMB drag (Y axis)
ctrl + LMB + RMB drag (Z axis)
that last one is tricky to find out😂

especially useful when the widget is not in the viewport

Okay look, I'm a HUGE fan of Unreal, but these systems that get tacked on (Common UI, GAS, GCS) are nonsense and you will spend more time debugging that garbage than you would have just learning to build your own system.
Right, #UnrealEngine #UE5 folks trying to figure out Gameplay Camera System:

IT USES A FUCKING VARIABLE ASSET. Camera Variable Collection, basically works like an MPC.

So when you see a variable link that looks like, this bullshit? No explanation? Not a parameter in the usual sense, feed it a CVC.

Performance for remastered games is pretty much never the fault of the engine. Like everything else, it's about effort. The original went through rigorous testing and iteration, meanwhile remasters are often a batch process on assets that don't get the same care.
No shade to the Talos devs but I hate this trend of "remastering" games in UE5. There's already a deluxe edition on PS4 but we need a Reawakened edition for PS5? Nah. Many of these UE5 games look and run worse than their predecessors and sometimes struggle with 1080p resolutions on current systems.
The Talos Principle: Reawakened announced store.steampowered.com/app/2806640/...

"This definitive edition revisits the groundbreaking narrative of The Talos Principle, immersing players in an expanded and remastered journey through the world of the Simulation."

Rebuilt with UE5

The other night I was testing the current state of my demo live on stream when a ghost seemed broken to the point I had to use some debug commands.. and then waited until I was right in front of him to start hunting me 😅
