<3 Cheers. I will I have time :) Some people didn't like that this video didn't have a step-by-step handheld explanation so I haven't done one like this in a while.

@@cgkrab The only issue i found with this was the link you added to download the texture. The site is very untrust worthy and i dont think people want to waste there time in registering on a site to download a file. If you can perhaps use a easier method of downloading the file i think people will be more likely to use it. Maybe upload it on a google drive or generate a link of where it can be downloaded where people dont have to register.

@@x1bullet007 Cheers - I will look into that

<3 merci a vouz

Indeed!

Hello - glad it was helpful :) This should work for a stadium but just be mindful that if you have 'use simple as complex enabled' that physics simulation will not work, so that will not work for objects you want the player to be able to push around.

That's great! Glad it was helpful for your project

cheers! <3

HDRI Haven has many which you can download for free

PolyHaven has these available

You could do this as well, but it is not quite the same thing. That would check if the players rotation differs from the look at rotation, not if their forward facing vector is the same direction as the look-at vector. The difference is that Delta Rotator will also return a Rotator. That will be a comparison of all three axes separately (not a composite value reflecting all three axes) since delta rotator adds the values for pitch, roll, and yaw separately. It depends on your use-case. If you only need the Z-Axis look-at direction you could break the rotator and that would work for third person, but that will not work for a first-person scenario because you are checking rotation, not look-at direction. With this method you could easily swap out the player forward vector for the first-person camera's forward vector and this will work just as well, so it is a cleaner solution that works better for more scenarios.

Hello - there are some fixes here in the comments, this was made for 5.3.2 but some changes have been made in 5.4 an 5.5 to the nodes used here. I will post an update eventually but those fixes mentioned should help for now. Cheers

For demonstration only, I thought that was pretty obvious :) Implementing the function requires your own project use-case 👍

Tick is unavoidable, you have to use it for some mechanics or they will feel very clunky. This likely doesn’t use very much frame time

@@tingamer2508 Yes very much this :) It's also very circumstantial, people have to implement the function where it makes sense for their own project, not just to copy 1-for-1 what they have seen in a tutorial example

@@tingamer2508 Yes exactly :) That being said - I would still probably implement a timer, since the player wouldn't really notice the difference between executing 5-10x per second vs. 60 times.

Yes - there is a separate video on the channel for making simple collision in-engine. This is mostly for people who prefer to work in Blender or teams where those working in-engine and 3D modelers are not the same people.

Good question, I'd assume yes, but idk

I would assume not, since it’s unionizing the objects in a way. It’s the same as if the objects just weren’t merged, but now when merging it has to deal with precision, similar to negation and other aspects of what a union does. The only two pro things I’d see is it loading faster and how organized it is.

@@heartofironsyes mostly for organization. Side benefit is that the engine will use instancing for identical static meshes, so if you were going to have many objects spammed for things like cluttered rooms it can cut down the number of unique meshes significantly. :) but those things should really be in streamed levels anyways for optimization.

not as far as I know. You could make a whole scene from photoscanned assets though easily. What this really replaces is software like RealityScan, which needs hundreds of photos from various perspectives to do what this does from single photo.

The water, or the ground? The ground is just the default world grid material.

This is a common issue. The 'individual' making the game and the individual who made the assets are rarely the same person, outside of 1-person / very small indie devs (even then, if someone uses assets from 3D marketplace, the pivot can be set for different software packages - Blender for example has object origin but .FBX exports use world origin if imported to Unreal).

done ;)

Hello - this is a custom water shader I have been working on for several months. It is not publicly available (yet) unfortunately as there are still some issues to resolve with it.

@@a.l.murkar6425 just so you know, i've been inspired and i made a similar looking shader my self, checkout my last upload, i tried to recreate the blend at the shoreline

Cheers! Glad they were of use to you

haha cheers - yes unfortunately there are lots of these little annoyances in UE that we just learn to live with because a solution isn't obvious. It doesn't help that the checkbox to fix this one is off by default, and enabling it sometimes just doesn't work :'D

@@cgkrab lol ya this is the life of a ue4 dev for sure. It is not perfect, but it is amazing and we have to make it work. Even with some of the issues and complexity I still love it.

haha cheers!

<3 Cheers haha - hope it helps. I have another list so I'll post a video again in some time, but they were mostly things that had to go inside of a BPFL.

<3

Thanks for this fix :) yes; should hopefully work for anyone on 5.4. This was made in 5.3.2. Have not tested in 5.5 either which was recently released.

@@cgkrab Do you have a screenshot of the nodes? Need Curvature map in unreal but dont know hou to make this float stuff. =(

@@igorkirdeika4765 Hello - will try to remember to make a new version of this for 5.4/5.5 soon. Currently on vacation but back in a couple of weeks. Cheers

:bless:

I will find time to do a baking video :) Cheers. I don't use blender's build-in baking tools. I agree that they have some issues. In my experience the plugin 'SimpleBake' is the best tool available for baking with Blender

@ ok thanks! I’ll check into Simple Bake too👍

It is hard to tell the issue without any more info than that, but happy to help diagnose if you have some screenshots or can describe your node set up, blender version, etc. Some things have changed in Blender 4.x - this tutorial was made in the 3.6 LTS version.

@@cgkrab I did exactly as the tutorial showed. version is 4.2.2 LTS Edit: i did some custom changes and the shining effect kinda dissapeared

@@pavelgaming5470 ok. Are there any mix nodes? In 3.6, these were 'mix color' nodes. In 4.x and up, these have been changes to mix nodes but by default are not set to 'mix color.'
