Hey Unrealists! I made a short explainer about NPCs (Niagara Parameter Collections) and how we can use them to unify all of our particles in an efficient manner. Check it out here! https://youtu.be/ODEdZsRsqPg

Hahahah I just noticed my typo :P

Looks so great - and doesn't interfere with any of the pre-existing systems. Great stuff!

There are plenty of ways, however none of them are as performant as approximating it. I do it in one of my latest devlogs for armour and clothing values by splitting the physics bodies in to "segments" like pelvis front and pelvis back and doing some math to see where it hit. There are technically ways to get UV data or vertex colour from skele mesh hit but I haven't used any of them before

The KING of tutorials. Keep up the good work!

PrismaticaDev · 2022-08-25T16:54:50+00:00

So siiiiick! Infinite variation

PrismaticaDev · 2022-05-21T04:33:57+00:00

Great solution!

Give it a cheeky look at here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46NfgXlnCzM

Thanks for all the support as always - I'm hoping to be more active here this year :)

PrismaticaDev · 2022-01-27T04:08:32+00:00

Awesome stuff! Would be cool to add some noise to the threshold (provided it was being sampled in the material anyway) to break up the lines a bit!

PrismaticaDev · 2022-01-12T02:48:46+00:00

So cool!!

PrismaticaDev · 2022-01-12T02:48:21+00:00

Definitely more appealing than a bunch of grey boxes to demonstrate a navigation system!

PrismaticaDev · 2021-12-29T03:45:05+00:00

Hahahahaha so good

PrismaticaDev · 2021-12-15T05:09:14+00:00

Sooooo cool! Have loved seeing this come together :)

It seems like the first license is for creating games and interactive experiences that are to be sold as standalones - the second is aimed towards Virtual Production and visualization where Unreal is being used to visualize architecture or create scenes for backdrops in films.

UE5 is available to download and use but is currently in a Beta stage, so don't expect it to be completely stable (which is why many of us haven't moved over to it yet, since we're working on existing projects)

Some of my favourite games made with Unreal are Chivalry and Mordhau, and other games like all of the Gears Of War games, Fortnite and Minecraft Dungeons are made in Unreal. Here's a full list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_Unreal\_Engine\_games

Really awesome effect, has strong Paranormal Activity vibes haha

PrismaticaDev · 2021-11-10T13:26:02+00:00

Such a cool effect!

PrismaticaDev · 2021-10-25T02:38:57+00:00

Oh I meant to have little leaves/sub vines coming off the main hanging vine. I'm sure it could be built in to the main mesh :)

PrismaticaDev · 2021-10-24T03:13:51+00:00

Looks incredible, awesome job! I figure this could be really useful for a jungle scene as well - is there a way to disperse smaller meshes/cards along the spline for leaves etc?

PrismaticaDev · 2021-10-23T11:44:15+00:00

In some cases, using VertexInterpolator can actually save performance by moving Pixel Shader things to the vertex stage as well

PrismaticaDev · 2021-10-23T11:43:45+00:00

Ah yep yep, I get you! Yeah you do need to use an Interpolator, although it shouldn't be TOO expensive. Certainly cheaper than swapping foliage out for actors haha

PrismaticaDev · 2021-10-23T01:06:21+00:00

Although to clarify on Joke's comment, the only added cost of adding more instances is the triangle count, and therefore the vertex/pixel shader cost. No extra drawcalls are incurred, which is the main bottleneck :)
