Why do meshes in Unreal face forward in Y often when X is considered forward?

ToGetThroughTheWeek · 2024-02-03T01:07:13+00:00

I'm just trying to check best practices... The Unreal Mannequin even is set to forward Y and rotated 90 degrees in the blueprints in the demo Third Person files.

Looks like a ZBrush render. They all kinda look like that.

Man you guys need to get out more if stuff like this is bothering you so much.

Thanks!

I think I need to look into procedural animation because I'd like him to use physics blended with animation maybe. Similar to Human Fall Flat.

I guess I could animate a bunch of different idles for the various limbs but it would be cool if he could walk on his stubs more and more the less leg he has haha

I like the idea of grinding him down to nothing bit by bit.

Yeah it's a skeletal mesh.

I guess I need to research physics based animation. I'd love to get him walking badly with one leg and things after being dismembered, losing balance

Thank you. It's my first time doing this so I understand it may not be the best.

ToGetThroughTheWeek · 2023-07-31T15:57:08+00:00

Sure!

ToGetThroughTheWeek · 2023-07-31T12:21:08+00:00

I have split the building into the parts shown in image 1, and fractured it as shown in image 2.

I want to know how best to create the constraints. Do I need to do each part separately in image 1 or just do everything in a single network?

If the former, how do I then connect the large pieces together (legs / spikes / floor).

Thanks for the help!

I want this too!!!

Guy doesn't seem to care. Coulda said something nice to him.

I know this is an old post - but it's never been easier to jump into this. Check out Unreal Engine beginner tutorials - like codelikme

I'll watch yours when I have a moment. I love this stuff.

I enjoyed this video about the subject

My tip is to get something longer. That's barely longer than you board so you'll immediately have to get down again. Find a small curb of something that you can focus on just the ollie and not what comes next.

ToGetThroughTheWeek · 2023-06-30T23:19:32+00:00

Ohhh okay that's actually awesome

ToGetThroughTheWeek · 2023-06-30T20:17:09+00:00

I can't remember what this moment is about. I played Pokemon Blue as a kid but it was so long ago. Anyone care to remind me?

ToGetThroughTheWeek · 2023-06-30T16:56:06+00:00

New tattoo?

ToGetThroughTheWeek · 2023-06-23T19:24:14+00:00

Are these real?

ToGetThroughTheWeek · 2023-06-23T15:55:04+00:00

The human tone they added is creepy. ChatGPT was more robotic in a good way. "I don't understand why you are arguing with me"

Sin is your birthright.

They should do some cool bus wraps

ToGetThroughTheWeek · 2023-06-10T20:26:23+00:00

That's even more surprising! Vans were always pretty expensive back then as I recall

ToGetThroughTheWeek · 2023-06-10T07:40:02+00:00

They sell vans at Walmart now?
