how have I never noticed that emit (like emit a signal or event) is time spelled backward ?!

Gigi Version 1.01.5 Released github.com/electronicar... The big items: * Indirect Draw (GPU driven rasterization) * AMD FFX Upscaling /Frame Generation * Variable aliases for shaders (~push constants) If you want to play around with the FSR stuff, there's a "AMD FSR" technique in the Gigi Browser.

If anyone needs a 3d environment artist, hire Natalie. 👇 awesome art down there

[Game Animation Sample] Replacing hand-placed splines with custom Parkour Navigation Data generated from Navmesh :) #UE5 #UnrealEngine #screenshotsaturday

working on a ucupaint feature to copy layers from the asset library this will give us a good smart layer/mask workflow

Hey #PitchYaGame! My game is called: 'Incoherence: Dark Rooms' 👻 A survival horror room builder with mind-bending puzzles. 🛠️ Upgrade your weapons, skills, and more! 🔫 Fight twisted monsters and unravel the mystery of the endless loop... #GameDev #IndieGame #DarkRooms

Well under way! This cue is SUPER old, like from 2005, so I don't have the original session. I'm having to recreate every synth part by ear, but I'll take some liberties here and there.

I haven’t done much 3D art or game dev in months. I’ve basically given up. Maybe some day I’ll get back, but I’ve fallen out of love with it all, as a tech artist and just in 3D Art. I’ve given up trying to get into it career-wise. I’m sorry if it’s a let-down, for everyone who believed in me.

Alan, dishing truths as usual.

The environment detail in the new Elder Scrolls: Oblivion remake is completely astounding. If only the customized characters shared this trait in common >_>;

I'm far from my blog's hay day, which largely comes from me not writing as much as I used to, but the most popular article of mine in the traffic that I do get is about interleaved gradient noise as a different type of low discrepancy object. Glad to see it! blog.demofox.org/2022/01/01/i...

New Blog Post! Simulating Dice Rolls With Coin Flips blog.demofox.org/2025/04/05/s... Blog posts have not been coming like they used to. My energy has been going into research papers and Gigi. Lots of cool things to share on both in the future.

The PCG Pathfinding node lets you automatically clear foliage between locations. In this case I'm tracing a path between the front door and the nearest road and clearing any grass or debris between them! #UETips

One of my favourite things to do when making a landscape is to run a Brush Stroke mask texture into a Height Lerp for the blend. This means that the blend will look like each layer is painted into the landscape instead of just linearly interpolated. Takes 30s and adds a lot to the scene! #UETips

A great tutorial on how to add gender info to text so localization can work correctly in languages that require it. https://xabk.net/blog/gender-info-in-strings/ #UnrealEngine

I *really* wish they’d bring the Epic Games store over to Linux. It’d make my transition over the very, very large Windows fence a helluva lot easier, because managing multiple Unreal Engine 5 installs and all the plugins would actually be do-able, then. T__T

Microsoft failing in SPECTACULAR fashion to read the freaking room. Guess I’m switching to Linux!

Hey BSKY, I'm Joppe and I make VFX! Find me online "@joppemin" everywhere. 1️⃣: artstation.com/joppemin 2️⃣: cara.app/joppemin

Found a Niagara tutorial that looks interesting and feature-rich, so really hopeful I can learn what I need from this to start crafting the effects I need, like the Stargate “Kawoosh!” effect.

Introduce yourself with four video games 🎮

The new Digimon game is coming out in 2025! OMG

Has anyone managed to change the play rate of the resulting Turn In Place animations dynamically (at run time) in the Game Animation Sample with Unreal Engine 5? With Motion Matching, I can’t seem to find any way to adjust the animation playback speed (for turning in place quickly in a TP shooter)

Ah, he never disappoints.

Me, back home, feeling pumped to get some @unrealengine.bsky.social work done... UE Editor: "LOL NOT TODAY, CHUMP!"

Me, about to go on a smol morning adventure to get coffee cream. My car, Blanche Devereaux, channeling her inner @samhulick.bsky.social:

You know, I genuinely can’t sing enough praise for Ray Reconstruction in games - especially how it cleans up raytraced reflections in Hogwarts Legacy. I’m extremely impressed. Being saddled with being Nvidia-Only, however, is a huge bummer. I’m really hoping AMD can develop an agnostic variant.

The stream was so much fun and we did a great job covering LD fundamentals. We gave practical advice while making sure everyone got a solid dose of theory. Definitely worth checking out the VoD.

Some of these are… personally familiar. XD

I definitely need to learn how to use Niagara proper… my fiddling around with it so far has not been fruitful

I was playing around with the @gpuopen.com.web.brid.gy Fidelity FX SDK samples this morning, and… I’ve caught the itch to build my own real-time game renderer again. >.<;;

Test in UE5 to see how things are going; trying to establish mood and such.

Didn't *quite* scale the cabled mid-section above the indicator ball *quite* right, but I think I did okay...

Found some free time, so work continues~~

Cross-compiling / building a UE project executable for Linux from Windows is sooooooooooo slooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww 😭😭😭

maybe I'll add procedural AO to ucupaint, I'm tired of rebaking it

So there’s an issue in the Unreal Engine Game Animation Sample, where the generic animation retargeting blueprint is using hard references to retargeting profiles that load all the mesh and texture data for all the relevant characters. So one character inadvertently loads all the data for 6. Ouch.

Happy Valentine's Day you lot! 🥰❤️

Don't think I've ever said this outright before, but the Game UI Database is NOT driven by AI. All 60,000+ screenshots were tagged BY HAND by myself over the last four years. Every screen type, every filter - even the colours! When you're passionate about the quality of your work, you don't need AI.

Random thought, but it’s so upsetting to see how many senior/experienced members of our industry are desperately trying to stay relevant on LinkedIn by indulging toxic fads like Gen AI and NFTs, while younger members with more to lose are the ones speaking up and fighting for our industry and peers.

Hoping everyone will consider helping my dear friend

I am a VFX artist, video editor, and award winning musician. I have plenty of experience working on other productions and would love to get a job as a video editor in the Toronto area. But I need help, and lots of it. If you can, please donate and help me move. Thank you. ko-fi.com/burningearth...

Work continues. Finished the back wall behind the Stargate. Just need to make door meshes for the frames, but I'll do that at a later time.

Gate Room is coming along better than I'd even hoped! ^_^ Did a quick Blender preview-rt render test too, for fun.

Ending the night with progress on the back of the room, where the main ingress is, and the ludicrously-steep staircase. :)
