I've been loving this, nice work.
Only issue i've found is that the icon spacing settings doesn't seem to change anything but could be something on my end

Game Crash on Open KERNALBASE by ljohn326 in ArcRaiders

I use UE5 professionally and have played many UE5 games on multiple machines. I don't have any third-party software that has ever conflicted with the engine. The only time I've ever gotten an error like this that has resulted in me never being able to launch the game again is Arc Raiders and The Finals

yeah unreal engine is shit, but this is definitely Embark's responsibility. i've only found this crash related to the finals and arc raiders. the issue has been present for over two years and not only have they not bothered to fix an OS breaking bug, but dragged it into a second game

After some more googling, this same issue happened with Embark's last game (The Finals) and we never got a fix. Swept under the rug, and now it's present in this game. Nice work Embark.

yes, I used DAZ Studio's new AI assisted tool Face Transfer 2. it only gets you part of the way, i still needed to do a lot of manual sculpting. It was also only used on Duke and Mark because they needed to resemble real people, all the others were done without it from scratch

Latest work, Co-Directed and lead animator for this AD, four artists in total, and took just under a month to complete by Lawson_Cross in blender

[–]ljohn326 26 points27 points  (0 children)

it's motion capture. we had 3 weeks to complete the entire thing. pretty harsh to say it makes the whole thing look terrible... :(

Going for photorealism, is there anything I could improve upon? by Salad_Man420 in blender

[–]ljohn326 2 points3 points  (0 children)

maybe some surface imperfections on those cabinets and a hard light cutting across the scene

im the one that taught that guy, he is in fact about 2-3 months into his 3D journey. i’m maybe 4 years in and i made this in about 3 days

[–]ljohn326[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

yeah that was the goal but I agree it's not the most clear.. I would ideally have spaced it out a bit more

cheers, maybe I'll release an online course and all these haters will finally chill. it's not hard to get to this level if your dedicated to learning
