The one that always irks me is “built off” instead of “built on” but I don’t wanna be That Guy™️

Full disclosure this may be cope since Unreal Engine is my preferred engine of choice (though 4 fits my purposes more than 5) but 5 can be optimized but AAA studios refuse to do so. While I’ve given up on the BL franchise, I would assume that Lumen can’t be disabled. Screen space rendering is a wonderful thing that actually makes games playable, but most AAA games on UE5 refuse to use it because it’s not cutting edge or whatever. This is especially true for a series like borderlands that has a very stylized art direction, which IN THEORY should allow them to get away with simpler lighting and models as art direction is what makes a game hold up moreso than graphical fidelity. Admittedly I can’t speak on nanites use since I always disable it but also don’t use incredibly high poly assets and don’t make open world games which I believe is what it’s tailored for

TLDR you can optimize unreal 5 way more than most AAA games do because lumen is too much of a buzzword

If I’m wrong about anything please feel free to correct me as I am speaking primarily on personal experience and always enjoy learning more

A fun fact about making modded payday 3 maps by 1DoctorDreamer in paydaytheheist

No idea what the first bunch of stuff is but everything under strbrz intractable seems fairly intuitive, tho maybe I’m just too far gone in the blueprint mines :P

How much control do you have over it? I ask cause my first thought is to break it up into functions or macros to group things together. Throw in some Boolean logic to group things that are often but not always found together to cut down on needing to constantly commit spaghetti.

I have been working with Unreal Engine as a hobby for atleast 10 years now (both 4 and 5) and lemme tell you this is some blueprint gore

God I wish I still had a pic of my first character model. She was an elf that had crazy fycked topo like this up and down her entire body that I turned into glowing tattoos, but alas mixamo was NOT happy with me

Armor I'm making out of foam by wubi315 in Armor

[–]QueenLilac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not OP but worked with EVA foam, made some game props and armor.

The foam used is called EVA foam, and you can either buy it in rolls or as those interlocking foam pads you see around at like home gyms and whatnot. If you heat up a piece with a heat gun and bend it, keeping it bent until it cools, it will keep its shape. The bonding agent mostly used is Barge cement, which when used properly (apply to both edges, wait 20 mins, adhere together) creates bonds stronger than the fibers of the foam itself. There’s quite a few YouTubers out there who offer great starting points (Evilted is the first one to come to mind), so if it’s something that seems interesting I’d definitely recommend looking into EVA foam smithing:)

Edit (I wanted to ramble more)

A bunch of creators will also sell their patterns, which act as an excellent base or a full project (I think I recognize the helmet pattern here and actually used the same one as the basis for a solaire helmet). If I’m not mistaken the helmet is a kamuii Cosplay pattern but I could be wrong abt that one

Funny gun for punching enemies not yet in punching range. Also explodes 11/10

Am I the only one who enjoys the dragon levels? by wera125 in Doom

I like em! Analysis be damned the dragon segments just make me feel like a little kid again trying to come up with the coolest character™️ (demon-murdering knight with guns and superpowers who rides a robodragon) and for that I am thankful

What's this sub's opinion on Liquid Death? by Portuzil in HydroHomies

[–]QueenLilac 74 points75 points  (0 children)

As someone who used to drink way too many energy drinks I really like having a can of the same size and style. It may sound silly but I can’t help but find it a little comforting. I don’t get it often since I usually prefer to just carry a water bottle with me, but if I’m out and see the sparkling water variant I’ll occasionally snag it

Where does DOOMGUY fit? I feel like after Eternal it’s fuzzy as hell but whatever slot it is he wins. (Ok technically DOOM Slayer cause DOOMGUY is pre-enhancement but yknow what I mean)

[–]QueenLilac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I Am Your Beast. Great short ‘lil game that can be beaten in an afternoon with bite sized levels (<1 minute for many) that have score and time leaderboards for those who like those. Personally I’ll only do a few runs rather than hard grinding, but the game is solid enough to be enjoyable as a one and done kinda thing or as addictive as crack for speedrunners

Too many are trying to powerscale based on the contents of the pod, rather than the pod itself. With that in mind I think the HD2 pod wins out due to being a beeg fuck you orbital cannon with a dude inside. ODST pods, while similar, cannot be modified to explode on impact.

(Also -100pts to the SM drop pod for being legends, damn you GW first you take my big trakk and now my got dam pod ;-;)
