In UE, the Node "NormalFromHeighmap" generates a NormalMap from a greyscale.

Accepts texture object(baked), but how to do from a generated image like noise, edited/blended texture, etc...?

Sometimes I may overengineer stuff?

I'm starting to add replication since I'm now getting into actual player interaction systems. To reduce code duplication, I wanted a generic interaction function with a templated parameter.

Doesn't work. Unreals reflection system, which is needed for replication, can't really handle template types. That's a bummer.

Here's more info from someone who basically had the same idea:

Been playing around with some RC truck physics in Unreal with Chaos. It's gonna take some hackery to get them where I want them to be, but it's a good start I reckon. 🤔

A small blue remote control monster truck drives around a test course, doing a few jumps and going over some bumps. The course is very basic and only intended to test the suspension and car physics code.

An example of using the Exponential Height Fog and how the lighting looks with it... what I love about the Unreal Engine 5, a couple of objects in the scene make magic, I only adjusted the distance and density

Today's achievement with Unreal Engine - worked a little on water and underwater effects. Material for post-processing underwater visual and material for caustics as Decal. It's still not perfect for gameplay my goal was more educational

I reduced the size of the hole creation and connected this to the laser cutter. It looks interesting, maybe there will be several places in the game where you need to cut a hole, but with a combination of Chaos Destruction and Geometry Script

Today I tried what Geometry Script is in Unreal Engine 5. Cool features, but I won't use it for the game. Maybe only as tools for level design

Can anyone help me out with something? Config variables and CVars are not working the way that they should be in my project and it's making me crazy.

I'm investigating the best way to analyse a (Win64, C++, #ue5) minidump these days. Rider doesn't do it (barring .Net), which is a shame. WinDbg is super unfriendly and I hate it. VS works quite well, but I'd rather not rely on it - I only really use the compilers as a back-end these days so don't pay for it.

I feel like a new debug tool was discussed around here recently but I can't remember it for the life of me what it was called or whether it was suited to minidump analysis. Any tips?

New experiment with Niagara Fluids smoke in Unreal Engine 5. The first emitter takes a spline of any shape and sends a particle along the route, this data is transmitted to another emitter for smoke. As a result, I got smoke that forms around the spline

I am trying to make different options for object inspection. Do not pay attention HUD, only the mechanics are of interest now. What else exists, remember? I want to reproduce as many as possible in order to choose for game

I make solar panels to charge energy batteries from starlight. One of the main mechanics in the Sci-Fi game is the use of batteries, of which there will be a lot. Find or craft and charge... for tools, transport, etc

I began to make the logic of the interaction of the cable with the protagonist. I don't want to make a rope that will wrap around objects. I probably add the cable to the inventory, and not drag it behind the character

I've got this really nice light wind loop going on now. The tree sway step is synchronised for all trees regardless of time of creation, but I've slightly offset it based on world X position to make it look like the breeze travels across the screen. There's also a minor variation in sway amount. What do you all think?

Low poly trees on a procedurally generated hex-based terrain gently swaying in the wind. Super chill and nice to watch :)

Cable guy room 🚠 Unreal Engine 5

I started with a simple - add a Cable component between two components. Next, I will try to make it more difficult, after the first action, a cable will be added to the component and the protagonist... and change the length of the cable during movement

Trees have been successfully attached to the ground. Now working on some windy tree swaying.

Yea, I'm having way too much fun with this 😂

Trees swaying in the wind "completely" normally.

Skunk, to python

Aller il est temps de respecter la coutume et de faire mon

Je suis Skunk car j'aime bien les moufettes 🦨. Homme franco-suisse de 40 ans. Pas vraiment français ni vraiment suisse mais je m'en fout j'aime mon petit bout de pays bizarre.

Contrôleur aérien et pilote privé. Je baigne dans l'aéronautique depuis mon adolescence donc forcément j'ai basculé du coté obscur de la force et bosse dans le secteur.
Je vole de moins en moins car tout coûte cher dans la vie et ayant grandi avec un IBM PS/1 à la maison je suis forcément devenu geek et gamer. Je peux donc assouvir ma soif de vol aux instruments grâce à Flight Sim et Xplane (et pas du tout car il est impossible de louer un ).

A 20 j'ai décidé réaliser mon rêve; être artiste et devenir écrivain. A 30 ans j'ai pris la décision de me sortir les doigts du fondement pour quitter mon job. A 40 ans je suis toujours dans l'aérien et n'ai que des manuscrits non réécrit ou corrigés...

Du coup, nouveau plan ! Je vais apprendre le et le #c++, et . Perfectionner mes , faire du et écrire des pour devenir un gros profiteur qui paie son loyer en faisant du . Mais surtout pour reprendre le contrôle sur mon emploi du temps et utiliser ce temps libre pour l'écriture mais aussi devenir expert , monter une entreprise dédiée à ça qui finira par faire des jeux vidéos car le c'est la vie ❤️

La suite est simple: Succès, domination du monde, fêtes, abus, mst, alcoolisme, mort.

Mais bon pour l'instant je soigne ma procrastination en traînant sur le Fediverse donc ça n'avance pas beaucoup cette histoire...

Ok, I linked the mechanics of item throwing for fire extinguishing. I realized that it is not so easy to catch the moment when you need to start the gas. The object must lie on the surface. So for now I did very stupidly, catch the first collision hit once, wait 1 second, reset the linear velocity, wait 1 second again, turn off physics, spawn Niagara and Destroy Actor

Last chance to get my text-driven dialogue system for at the sale price! Go here if you want to slide heroically under the rapidly closing sale door: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/suds-pro-dialogue-system

Thanks to everyone who helped make the showcase / sale period a success, I really appreciate it. And new customers seem very happy so that's nice. ☺

I want to make an sonic instrument or ultrasound in the game like sonic screwdriver from Doctor Who

I'm still a beginner, so the implementation will be simple for now, I made Niagara, which will be projected onto the surface of the object, and then activate the force for chaos
