here's an anim i made for him using a control rig i made for him! all in-engine! took like no time. love unreal's new anim shit. ignore the rigid tentacles, i would just layer in some of the existing tentacle anim (all by @gmad.bsky.social )

Another one for my #UnrealEngine required reading list: dev.epicgames.com/community/le...

How are you and your team using Unreal Audio? Want to tell everyone about the cool stuff you're doing? Submit a presentation proposal for UEFest 2026!

#UnrealFest Chicago is happening June 16-18 and the call for proposals is open between now and January 22nd! www.unrealengine.com/en-US/news/a...

"What are you in for?" "Wanting to be able to complete more than one task a day"

Ari and I both said a lot of words on stage at #UnrealFest Stockholm, and I think these are the most important. How to think about profiling, how to read the unicorn barf that is Unreal Insights, and tips for looking at GPU captures.

It's BACK! Everything You Wanted to Know About Substrate (but Were Too Afraid To Ask), Nathaniel goes deep on the new default shading system in #UnrealEngine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqPa...

I need y'all to understand that I was well and truly excited for @codyjero.me's talk about SlateIM. Really empowering stuff for building your own debugging tools in #UnrealEngine. I file this under "Cool things in Unreal You should probably know about" www.youtube.com/watch?v=zilY...

Another really important #UnrealEngine talk just went live, this one is about GPU Profiler 2.0 and the engine's RHI submission pipeline. Absolutely vital for anyone profiling their title, especially those who've relied heavily on the old GPU Visualizer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnbA...

I didn’t get to do one of these last time because it was around the same time that the bird site started going to shit.

Oh and also my accidental #UnrealEngine #PCG manifesto/introduction youtu.be/TbNZ4GKaTow?...

A bounty of talks hitting the @unrealengine.bsky.social YouTube today. This one from Quentin at #UnrealFest Stockholm about interactive vines using Niagara is a great watch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fmG...

Everything you need to know about Substrate in #UnrealEngine is now live on YouTube! Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0h-...

When #UE5 first released, I made these images to explain to folks how #Nanite would help with rendering something... ludicrous.

Hey folks, I rerecorded my 2024 GameSoundCon talk "Unreal Audio Essentials (Abridged)" as a 2hr off-the-cuff version. www.youtube.com/watch?v=swS6... #UnrealAudio #Essentials #Keyword

We've made a lot of great improvements to the #UnrealEngine Material Editor in 5.6 and 5.7, and @shedoesartstuff.bsky.social talked about all of them and more at #UnrealFest Stockholm! Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYmd...

📚 I've updated my 5.6 Materials EDC article to include a NEW extra feature that didn't make it into the first version, and added some implementation details to a few of the other entries~ dev.epicgames.com/community/le... An article for Materials in 5.7 is in the works! #unreal #ue5 #materials

We just published "The Road to 60 fps in The Witcher 4 UE5 Tech Demo", where you can see how we got 300+ moving characters and 100k+ fully modeled trees and scrubs running at 60fps on a base PS5. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji0H...

A great talk by Alexis Argyriou from Unreal Fest Bali about performant lighting in UE on various hardware. #uetips www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1wh...

I think Nori might have put together the definitive guide on the Shader Complexity View Mode in #UnrealEngine in his talk at #UnrealFest Bali (spoilers: optimizing for that view mode doesn't necessarily result in performance gains) youtu.be/EjxK16koNfQ?...

So next time you wonder “What features does Unreal have that our internal engine doesn’t have? How can we compete?!” Stop thinking about features. Start thinking about community. The features are nice, but they’re secondary to the actual reason Unreal is being used so much.

If two gates are boarding at the same time right next to each other, all announcements should start with the destination.

Polar UVs are timeless way to achieve more with your tiling textures! Here is how to implement the cartesian to polar custom function material to achieve this effect #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine #gamedev #VFX #UE5

My Unreal Fest Bali talk is live on youtube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xilL... If you don't wanna sit through the entire talk, here's a PDF version: victorcareil.com/unreal-fest-...

I was absolutely floored with how many folks fought tooth and nail to get in to see this talk.

I often get asked: "How do I host a good roundtable?" by folks who want to do their own. So I wrote an article explaining the whole roundtable process from start to finish: rystorm.com/blog/how-to-host-a-good-roundtable-at-at-conference Always remember: Iron fist, Velvet glove, folks rely on you!

I've just released version 1.1.0 of my #UE5 SDF Plugin. Now featuring some extra material functions, some basic materials and this nifty interactive explainer / examples / tutorial window Windows binaries for 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 up in github github.com/rtm223/RTMSDF #gamedev #UnrealEngine

This is perhaps the most under viewed Unreal Engine video. If you use UMG in Unreal you should really give it a view, Adrienne killed it with this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NHI...

On my way to #UnrealFest Stockholm! Got a busy week lined up, and I’m excited about what I’ve got lined up to talk about. Automated performance testing, the PCG Framework, GPU capture analysis, and maybe even some tips and/or tricks?

Game devs: Show me your #BadgeBouquet

So, anyone got any cool jobs going haha? Interested in Tech Art, Lighting , Lookdev Unreal roles, remote from Adelaide, let me help you make pretty things!

Profile.

Blue Prince is consuming every fiber of my being. I woke up in the middle of the night because I’d solved a puzzle in my dreams.

TIL that NDC has a new method for querying particle data in BP :) The basic callback interface was severely limited. This looks much more powerful. Neat!

I get the allure of being a morning person. The high of reading a book over my morning tea whilst sitting on my porch and waving to my neighbors passing is unparalleled. It is mitigated, somewhat, by the crushing low of knowing this moment is fleeting, and I'll regress once the jet lag wears off.

Still after some small side gigs / commision work with the cost of living constantly rising, I do Hard Surface, Lookdev, FX, Lighting and general Tech Art, ive updated my portfolio of personal work here: www.artstation.com/dylserx #3D #GameDev #UnrealEngine #Houdini #Substance3DPainter

I’m on the road to #UnrealFest Shanghai! Since I love tweaking slides until I go on stage, I’ve got a couple of questions for ~ y’all ~ 1. What’s something you wish you knew what you started using Unreal? 2. What’s a debugging protip that has saved your bacon more times than you can count?

Visually debugging vectors and positions in Niagara is important, and it's easy to do using the built-in DrawDebug interface. You can also achieve this with sprite or mesh renderers, custom bindings, and a single custom module. 🧵

Oh hey! My Crash Course for New #UnrealEngine Developers is now live on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPkA...

I don't know how I missed this, but a cool video from UnrealFest2024 was published showcasing audio tips for indie dev teams, including working with Soundscape! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaMX...

The Unreal Fest Stockholm schedule has been posted! I'll be giving my talk about Unreal Materials on September 23rd at 10:30am in Room 4 ⭐ It's in the first batch of presentations after the Opening Remarks session; Here's the full agenda: unrealfest.unrealengine.com/event/470c5c...

Check out Range, my latest exploration of how far we can push a scene using Nanite Voxelization, 200 Trillion Polys Scattered with PCG on a 16k x 16k Resolution Houdini Landscape. #UE5 #UnrealEngine #GameDev #EnvironmentArt #NaniteFoliage #Cinematic

i have a fucking stupid game idea and really need a batshit insane technical artist to help me figure out part of it

GDC talk submissions are open and just wanted to point out to people that if you were planning to apply to talk at a summit (like indie summit, narrative summit, tools summit, etc.) that there's only one call for submissions now and it's only open for a month: gdconf.com/gdc-call-for...

An LLM does one thing, and one thing only: It emulates human speech based on the examples given. It cannot reason, calculate, think, or understand. It does not "know" anything, and you cannot assume that it's providing a correct answer to anything, since it's not trying to do so.

Here's a new article I wrote in collaboration with Epic colleague Jason Nadro, highlighting the latest quality-of-life improvements for the Materials system in Unreal Engine 5.6! ✨ dev.epicgames.com/community/le... Shoutout to the dev team for their great work!

What's that? You want MORE #UnrealFest? Great News! Tickets are now available for Unreal Fest Stockholm! It's September 22nd through 24th. Early bird pricing available now through July 31st! www.unrealengine.com/en-US/events... #unrealengine

GDC 2026 Call for Submissions opens July 7! If you want to submit a talk, check out my submission tips video: youtu.be/gxvKzx_W3Kc?... And if you prefer reading: rystorm.com/blog/5-gdc-t... If you have any questions, just ask. I'm always happy to help folks submit a great talk or roundtable.

Alright y’all, we’re starting the trek to #UnrealFest Bali! I’ve got a couple of cool talks that I can’t wait to share. And maybe this year I don’t lose my voice? No guarantees. Who all am I gonna see there?
