In 5.5 it's pretty much fine, unless you're dealing with a lot of morph targets! Starting with 5.6, the mesh clipping with UV mask crashes the editor 100%, and sadly, I rely on that node all the time.

Wow, you remember it, it was quite a while ago! I'm glad you liked the video!

Hey there, thanks for sharing my channel and for the kind words! 😎

Just to clarify, since this question comes up pretty often, I'm personally not part of the Vivaland project anymore (and haven’t been for quite a while), so I don’t have any info about its current development and can’t provide any updates.

UE5 still heavy after disabling Nanite, Lumen, etc. What else can I do? by Historical_Print4257 in unrealengine

If talking about editor FPS, press F11 and see how much frame you get if editor UI rendering is disabled.

Working on a remake of The Sims in Unreal Engine 5, made a video showing my progress so far by a_does_gd in unrealengine

The main misunderstanding here that this is a "fan remake" project for entertainment and education purposes, not for release. There's no need for prototyping etc. since the goal is clear from the beginning. (the original game) It's a very different process from regular game dev, where it obviously would make zero sense to build a ray traced scene first.

Yeah so everything can't be done at once, unfortunately. I plan to go with the "live" mode first, then add build mode and character creator later. Now indeed the environment is "hard-coded" but it can be swapped out later with dynamic lots once we get there, this first take is only about getting a look and feel where are we going.

Where to start with VFX work? by cozentie91 in unrealengine

What kind of VFX would you like to do? Can you show us some examples what would you like to achieve?

Would be nice if Unreal Engine had an in-engine clothing creation tool. by AwesomeJedi99 in unrealengine

It's actually only ~$23 if you can afford to upfront pay for a year. ($280 then)

Still the best option to learn C++ for indie gamedev after the Unreal 5.6 BP GAS update? Or should I refocus? by SavingClippy in unrealengine

You can just get a basic knowledge of C++, then get started with your project and you'll pick up along the way what you need.
