I want to render clouds under the feet of the player in VR, as if they’re standing on clouds. Do any of my Unreal friends know if this is easily achievable in #Unreal engine? (Ie. is this something possible to do with built in sky/clouds or should I look at either scrolling textures or volumetric stuff?) 5.0+ is fine.. I’m just starting to research this, so any help to get to the answers quicker will be totally appreciated! Thanks muchly.

I’m gonna need to take some Unreal classes or get a mentor or something because I’m doing a mighty struggle just trying to build a DDR system. Hilariously, I can get it to work but only with the down arrow. Other directions be damned.

Interesting that Apple announced that they're partnering? supporting? Unity with the #VisionPro. Why not #Unreal? lol. They'd rather promote the company that is embedding ads and user tracking features, that Apple says they're against, than promote an Epic product. #wwdc2023

Unreal was released 25 years ago on 22nd March 1998

When Unreal came out, it was seen by many as one of the most important releases of the year, often regarded as an equal to or even surpassing Half-Life, which came out six month later. However, it soon faded into relative obscurity and was greatly surpassed in fame by its spin-off Unreal Tournament.

Its main legacy remains its game engine which has become the most important software family for 3D graphics.

::: XONOTIC | A free arena-style 1st person shooter: NEW MODES

"Mayhem" / "Team Mayhem" modes were merged into the master branch.

Hard working Xonotic loving Finn Dr. Jaska authored these a while back after much discussion, testing, bugfixing.

New modes are as clan arena but without rounds. You spawn with all weapons - no self damage - yet both the frags you make & the damage you deal with contribute to the final score.

We were making a game with #Godot for a while... and it was going really well. I loved working with it and I recommend it for anyone making a small game, especially if they don't care as much about consoles.

Having said all that... I was finally convinced to move over to
#Unity. The main justifications:
1. Framework availability. We're using Adventure Creator and Dialog System and it feels like cheating.
2. Easy console support.
3. Unity no longer takes a cut of the revenue.

The third reason totally shocked me. I've been anti-unity mainly for their greedy business practices. Now I'm only frustrated because their partnerships with evil companies... but I'm pragmatic. I actually feel like making games is possible now.

For the record,
#Unreal is still my favorite engine, but not for 2D stuff. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to talk to this cube (tutorials forever...) #indiegamedev #indiedev

A screenshot of Unity. It's a blank scene with only a cube. I'm talking to it using the dialog system plugin.

@GameFromScratch It really depends on the genre...

#Unreal definitely shines in #3D and #FPS and can provide a lot of options but isn't as accessible to get started than say #Unity...

But there may be several good reasons to choose it over say #GodotEngine - like native support for all current-gen #consoles only pending a developer agreement with the platform owner...

Here's the super easy and fast way to make #unreal gameplay-integrated cinematics with a control rig!

I learned this a long time ago but I can't make Google spit it out now.

In #unreal, using Control Rig, how do I do realtime adjustments? Like pressing a specific button in worldspace, or looking at a target, or putting your foot exactly on the surface?

Is there a magic word? Because Google refuses to give me anything but "here's how to make animations with control rig!"

OK, #unreal question:

What's the easiest way to tell what objects are in an arc or cone?

There's no cone collider trace... but it doesn't absolutely have to be a collision test, I can just use a big ol' array to keep track of all the valid targets.

Where would be the best place to go if I just wanted to find someone who could do a single bit of #Unreal or #UE5 work for me? I realize I am basically stuck and if I could just pay someone to do this one thing I would, but I have no idea where to find anyone willing to do a one-off job like this. I just need a consult. Ask an expert. Where do they lurk?

an angle of the flowers, looking up. the petals have tiny holes in them. they look extremely delicate, even though they seem massive. the flowers are pink with gentle color variations. the center of the flowers are glowing.
an angle looking down at the cluster of flowers, growing at the end of the cove. they are glowing light pink, with a very bright blinding center. they look surreal and delicate.
a wider angle showing the flowers just along the shoreline hidden between sharp dark rocks. they are glowing light pink. the center of the flowers look like starlight, bright, illuminating the ground they seem to be floating on.
a closer angle of the flowers. you can see the petals have tiny holes in them. they look frail. their light pink glow is lighting up the surrounding area. like the ocean water along the shore, the ground i slightly reflective, catching their light.

So I made a #UE5 tool for baking Materials to textures. It's called Chicken Bake, because of course it is.

Took a lot of help to get it working, had to work around some Unreal bugs (like a race condition! whee! that's why it has the wait built in), but ANYWAYS it's rad. This lets me use Unreal's Materials like an in-engine Substance Designer.

@Bhaal_Spawn I played the first Unreal for the first time last summer. Played it a 2nd time back to back with the DX11/12 renderer and improved textures. I was blown away by how good it still holds up and I cannot begin to imagine what it must have felt like to play it back when it first released (my system at the time couldn't handle it). To me it felt more than a game, it was an experience!

Here is the modded Unreal for anyone interested:
