TBH I’m just overly critical I think 😅 My problem is I started in Game Maker 1.4 and loved it. Then YoYo Games tried to make it into something it was never meant to be and I’ve just kind of been homeless ever since. I’ve found UE5 to be way buggier than UE4 and I prefer the UX of 4. Plus VS integration has been a nightmare and C++ is pretty painful to use. I’m sure GODOT is an amazing engine but I too big of a fan of C# to give up the ; 🤣 Basically I want the user experience of UE4, the tech and performance of UE5, the VS integration and language of Unity, and the “all in 1” approach of Game Maker 1.4……so literally the moon on a stick 🤣🤣🤣

For Unreal, especially for a beginner using c++, don’t use Visual Studio. It’s a pain, and makes an already difficult engine to learn, a nightmare with random compile errors and rebuilds. Look into using Rider. Yea, it costs money. But if you’re in it for the long haul, it’s worth every penny. Plus you keep the software even if your subscription ends. You just don’t get more updates.

As an indy game dev doing this for a while I got a few tips. There is an UnSubdivide option in Blender to get that geometey down. Quadremesher and 3DCloat Autotopo also does a great job if UnSubdivide is not good enough. When making the piping you can select the edges > right click > separate selection then in object mode select the new object and Convert to Curve. You can bake the Blender material so it works in Unreal, but you might need a paid plugin for baking to be right. The biggest tip though is to first use free assets as placeholders and make the game play. After it is all working, then worry about the way it looks. You got a billion more problems you haven't even started to get to yet. If you worry about how it looks first you will never finish your game. You can release a working game that is not pretty and update the graphics later. A not working pretty game can't be sold.

Blender has the decimate modifier to reduce poly count. I confess I only do low poly stuff, so I don't know how well it would have worked out on this case.

@CryoNoir 5 ай бұрын

I used the decimate function on the main body of the hair and it worked out fine, however when I used it on the body, boots, etc it gave some pretty weird/unusable results. There’s still a lot of optimisation left on the table but for now nanite is picking up the slack.

@wtmftproductions 5 ай бұрын

You should look into Normal baking. Keep the high-poly model, and make a VERY low poly version, and then bake a normal map so that you can keep all the detail but with a very low poly count. Honestly even the reduced poly boots still have more polys than the entire character should ideally have.

@CryoNoir 5 ай бұрын

This was the issue I had for years. Would make a prototype in UE4 then get to animation and just bang my head against the wall. That's why I went with sprites/flipbooks for my boomer shooter.

I'm pretty sure you can export the textures from blender and reimport them into unreal and make them into materials and I think the UV is the same and you can just insert the materials into the mesh editor.

I’m sure there probably is because it seemed ridiculous that that was the case, but when I googled it all the top answers said you couldn’t.

hey man really enjoyed the video! I would recommend you to do at least one long form tutorial (the types you find on udemy) on any given subject before doing a bunch of work and hoping it works. That approach is very dangerous and I think you already learned how much time it can cost you. These types of issues dont go away and its not uncommon for devs to abandon their projects because they made some mistakes early on that would take months to fix now. You need a solid foundation that you can build on.

@CryoNoir 6 ай бұрын

Hey! Thanks for the support. I’m very cautious of falling into the “forever tutorial” trap as I’ve been there before. I spent years doing tutorials in Game Maker but it was only when I started building my own game and fixing problems that I really started to learn. I find I learn best by doing a few beginner tutorials to get the gist of how things work then just go off piste and start breaking things. I learned so much about Unity & lately app development by just doing it and solving problems as and when they arise. I’m sure it’s not the most efficient way of making an end product, but it the way I find I learn best.

Just subscribed, this video just popped on my recommended KZbin list, and I can totally relate to your experience, I too moved from Unity to UE5/C++, I've had a little more experience with foundational C++ and OOP programming during my uni years but UE5 is a complete new beast for me. I'm learning everyday and it's certainly exciting stuff, every day along the journey you stumble on a something new that can totally change the way you thought about implementing something (just today I found out about control rigs, yesterday I learned about Physics constraints, the day before? Chaos Wheeled vehicle system)... Kinda reminded me of exploring the wasteland in Fallout 4, you get into a a building on your way to finishing a quest, and you get sidetracked into this massive questline that takes you to the other side of the map meeting an entire new faction 😂, by the time you're done, you're like: "What was I supposed to do again.. ?🤔" I'm doing all of this to improve my portfolio as it's lacking substance apparently, considering almost 3 years of constant jobhunting has yielding 6 interviews. Hopefully I'll be able to get a really polished UE5 experience to publish on my portfolio, something that I can show off proudly that's substantially better than anything I've done before.

@CryoNoir 8 ай бұрын

Yowza! Sounds like your further down the road than me. I can totally relate to the Fallout 4 analogy. Development is a slow process for me as I work full time and stream 3 nights a week. I’ve never tried to get a job in the industry as I’d always rather be in charge of a small project than be a small part of a much bigger project, but that’s just me. I know the games industry is a hugely competitive industry to get into so getting 6 interviews is nothing to be sniffed at. I’m totally sure I wouldn’t get that far. All I can say is chin up and keep improving. I’m a big believer in ABW. Always be working, because you will get paid for the work you do. Whether it’s at the end of the week, next month, or in a couple of years. The work you do today will be something that you can all upon tomorrow. Good luck dude, and thanks for subscribing!

@CryoNoir 9 ай бұрын

Hey, thanks for the support, hopefully it’ll turn out as good as it is in my head. Lol Er, bit of both really. I want to do as much as I can in C++ because it is so much more performant than blueprint. On a project this size it’s really not going to make much difference but I think it’s best to try and develop good habits from the outset. Back when I worked in GameMaker I initially created platforms/environments/levels out of objects which worked fine on smaller projects. Then when I started to branch out I ended up making a pixel art platformer that made a 6 core i7 chug. 😅. Plus I’m not a fan of either blueprints or “black boxes”. If I had the skill/talent/time I wouldn’t use Unreal, I’d make my own engine.

@@CryoNoir I wouldn't rely on using Nanite for your game. Nanite can only run on high-end GPUs (RTX 20 series +) because it uses Compute shaders for the rendering pipeline instead of the normal rendering pipeline found in all GPUs. Some people with normal PCs wouldn't be able to play your game. But you don't have to worry about optimizing triangle count anyways (unless you really overboard). Your game looks to be low poly, so you can just use the normal LOD system that Unreal Engine provides.
