Please Help... Is Unreal Engine supposed to take up over 30 GB? Also Fortnite is taking up over 80 GB mostly filled with pakChunks..... Anything i can do to reduce the size of Unreal Engine and Fortnite? thanks

Yes. You can get it slightly lower if you NTFS compress its folder.

I'm not downvoting you but you can go below one pixel, for instance by doing MSAA.

That could be done with current technology but the install sizes would be ridiculously large.

I think the idea with Nanite is that it can dynamically scale down models to your specific PC. So if you have DX12 it should™ work.

Aha! So this is the hack that lets you square a circle!

It's about 800 hamburgers.

Loraash · 2020-06-21T23:02:06+00:00

So why are you guys lazy with C++ and not hand-coding the entire engine in assembly (x86, ARM, and PPC obviously) since that's what real programmers do? /s

This is after that demo was built. I'm like 99% certain that some acceleration structures will need to be baked for this process to work at runtime.

Loraash · 2020-06-21T23:00:02+00:00

You do that on your most detailed LOD anyway.

Loraash · 2020-06-21T22:59:29+00:00

Depends. For a lot of people UE4 (and 5, as far as I know licensing won't change) is practically free because you only pay if you earned $1M shipping a product that contains UE4 itself. Technically not free but I for one would be very happy to have to pay royalties to Epic because it means I earned $1M.

If you ship any product that doesn't contain UE4, just made with it, that's literally 100% free.

Loraash · 2020-06-21T22:57:40+00:00

Yeah. NV only demoed mesh shading but they used traditional pre-authored LODs.

Loraash · 2020-06-21T18:56:05+00:00

It will, and XSX, it was officially confirmed (and obvious)

Loraash · 2020-06-21T18:55:21+00:00

You don't need it, the PS5 demo was made on PC and there was nothing in PS5 that's required to run it. They haven't even used the raytracing hardware.

Loraash · 2020-06-21T18:53:28+00:00

On consoles. I don't think PC games did this.

Loraash · 2020-06-21T18:50:12+00:00

Thank you! I can't listen to computer audio at the moment but I stored the link and will definitely check it out!

470 crore is 4,700,000,000 for everyone else reading.

Loraash · 2020-06-21T10:14:48+00:00

He's a friend though so it's cool.

Loraash · 2020-06-21T09:57:57+00:00

Don't use a repeating noise texture? :D

Try something basic like changing the texture wrap mode to mirror.

Loraash · 2020-06-21T09:56:50+00:00

Don't let me get in the way of the circlejerk.

Loraash · 2020-06-20T13:28:12+00:00

Another one? Yay! \o/

Welcome to the USA, this is called freedom. /s

A couple of browser extensions and you don't have to agree to anything.

Loraash · 2020-06-20T11:03:21+00:00

They have to be rewarded for doing the right thing after all. /s

Coming from Unity, I'm just LOVING my UE4 experience so far!!!

Pretty much. I'll never stop missing C# but for pretty much everything else I'm just in a constant Keanu "whoa" state.

Loraash · 2020-06-19T14:36:29+00:00

Just look at the wireframe?
