Last Wednesday it would have been a yes probably, today things are looking a lot better so it’s a flat no

When did you last see them?

@@lorryburger8165 When they reflected in your eyes last night

you mean the digital microscope I gave you for Christmas

@@lorryburger8165 This is small. Those are far away.

@@LiamE69 Yes I agree, your balls are both small, far away and sweaty

it uses an opacity mask in the water material. just search youtube for a tutorial

get the normal of the surface where your trace hits , ik the hand to that point and adjust the rotation of the hand to the normal. its an old project that doesn't load anymore so I cant be more detailed than that

@@lorryburger8165 I have gotten about that far already but thank you very much for replying! I also have projects that will not load and it is heartbreaking. Appreciate your videos as some reference points. Much love.

Thank you for your kind comments

No, It's my own Vehicle Pawn that I wrote myself

Are you? I haven’t seen it in a while, What does it look like?

Why thank you kind you

@@lorryburger8165 You're welcome. Are you using virtual heightfield meshes?

@@Atlantica-Worlds no. It’s a procedural mesh, with a perlin noise generator

@@lorryburger8165 Oh okay.

I am using the Physics Control Component for both the Driver and the Dog. The code is copied from the Content Examples for the driver and adapted for the dog

I opened the source fbx files in blender and exported the individual components to unreal as static meshes. That way I can swap out wheels, brake disc, seats, doors, windows etc

@@lorryburger8165 Yeah, I was thinking about that as an option. Does that still allow you to, lets say, open the trunk via a transformation, or would that cause issues when done without a skeleton?

@@laurensdesmet70 I made an interactive actor component that animates itself whern interacted with, this works with trunks, bonnets, doors, petrol caps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5eWZqJqetihh5Y

possibly I will be replacing the static mesh components with skeletal mesh (doors etc) for body deformation and crash damage or looking at procedural meshes

@@lorryburger8165 Yeah, body deformation is the main reason why I'm considering skeletal meshes as well. All things considered, I might just do what you did and handle deformation via vertex colors. I found this tutorial, which covers that, as well as procedural meshes. Might be of interest to you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2OpdIuiebuImc0si=Ny2vzEzPVlXBmoBU

You sleep sitting up because you have horizontigo and dust will kill you

If you place a planet at world zero, you'll see how it's supposed to look :)

Like add a sphere center coord to the material instance?

@@lorryburger8165 no, place the ocean mesh at world 0, 0, 0 location. I’ll fix soon, that’s my bad

@@lorryburger8165 fixed. Please update

@@alexanderalikin1210 will in now work with spheres placed anywhere in the world map, of any size?

I'm making a game that involves a lot of physics. Probably doing small planets like Outer Wilds

I see thats what you are doing

@@lorryburger8165 Mine isn't exactly physics based. My planets don't rotate or orbit, they are stationary. This is still the same game that you've been posting about, right?

I am teaching myself UE. I have lots of projects all doing different things, I wouldn't actually use this to create a planetary system - its far too chaotic and random (currently I have converted the gravity algorithm to c++ which took 80 planetary bodies running at 20 fps to running at 120 fps!) it makes a nice screen saver

@@lorryburger8165 Wow, that's an incredible jump in framerates! I will have to nativize blueprints into C++ some day and test the framerates.

Gravity is your situation

@@lorryburger8165 It's getting me down.

~Thanks

I don't know if they have improved things, but over the internet you are never going to know if its a bit out of sync anyway

@@lorryburger8165 then it should be a delay. However looks a bit different ti me, not just in time. What you think(

Separate the Bouyancy Hull from the Hull mesh. Disable Physics on the Hull mesh have the Hull Mesh Interp its position to the Bouyancy hull on tick, that will stop your character from affecting the bouyancy and physics of the ship. Or otherwise it sounds like a collision issue

The aircraft carrier does what I described, kzbin.info/www/bejne/hl6taqJ4hKerpac

@@lorryburger8165 thank u so much for your reply ^^ Now I will try that. 🥰🥰🥰

I’m using ue5. I don’t think it’s better than 4 yet

No, I copied the code as I wanted to learn it

I just copied the example code and made a few changes

Thanks for the sub!

It’s down to the grid. I’m hoping when tessellation is back I can use it

​@@lorryburger8165 You can use default water system for the tessellation and LOD dynamic mesh. I apply the custom water material on the ocean actor from water system and the tessellation is working well. Which method did you use to simulate this bouyancy? CPU or GPU readback?

@@jourverse its a Niagara GPU readback (kzbin.info/www/bejne/npPVc3aFrcp_p9k) connecting to NWP water physics thats doing the math

@@lorryburger8165 ok Thank you.

You wouldn't replicate Fluid Ninja, you would replicate what is interacting with it. Its mainly a visual thing so it wouldn't matter.

@@lorryburger8165 Well, if e.g. a ship crashes into a wave on the server, but the wave does not exist on the clientside the ship would move without any reason on the clientside.

@@FreeD00M Most WaveSystems use a Timecode to generate the waves. you would sync the timecode to the server and have each client delta the time in between updates, you are never going to get 100% syncronisation as client ping and FPS is going to make all sorts of issues. boat simulations are also physics based which in not as deterministic as we would like in UE so replicating is going to be difficult on that front too. I would let Fluid Ninja handle the pretty but none of the gameplay systems. you can overlay Fluid Ninja over a wave system to handle foam and ripples . nobody is going to notice if foam or ripples are not in sync!

Thx for the inspiring idea. I know that oceanology is mostly replicated, but this gave me the idea to also try other water systems. Will do some experimentation.

Thanks!

Did the brasso come out?

@@lorryburger8165 Nurse!

Thank you

Maybe one day when I get time

ince!

It would if the camera was attached to the head

I copied it from als

@@lorryburger8165 exact same? Looks different.. Looks better

Was a while ago. I've broken it since. I think I was using world coordinates rather than bone space like in ALS

I based mine on this kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3aZg5WggLt7b68

@@lorryburger8165 ho ! thank you

That took you far too long to come up with

@@lorryburger8165 Yeah, made a real dog's dinner of it.

I am using the new Physics Control Component for both the Driver and The Dog. The code is copied from the Content Examples for the driver and adapted for the dog. I have only played with it for a couple of hours but it seems to do what it does! I am trying to import the code into my vehicle and my character blueprints, unsuccesfully at the moment , it either crashes or does nothing. just need some time

Unreal Engine 4

@@lorryburger8165 did you make the trail effect or did you use surface trails and ngl kinda impressed by the rig can't get mine to work right with chaos vehicles

@@pivotcom The surface trails are Infinity Weather by Infinity Blend. They don't work anymore as Epic got rid of tessalation

@@lorryburger8165 nice but how did you pull the rig of as far as I know I can only connect wheels to the root bone in that case I can't get the rotating axles to work

@@pivotcom The Suspension arms are a failed attempt at multipoint IK using scene components that pivot at the top and "look at" the wheel mesh. The wheel mesh is being controlled by 2 physics constraints. one for the wheel spin and another for the suspension which are attached to a control mesh that handles the steering

The algorithm works in mysterious ways.

I don't think I can answer that😂

Depend which of the thingy’s you are referring to

@@lorryburger8165 your amphibious vehicle:) its cool.

@@islandonlinenews The Mesh is from Synty Sci-Fi Worlds, I programmed the Pawn blueprint

@@lorryburger8165 ok thanks! I don’t suppose you could send me a copy of that truck?
