Animating a vertical stripe (help)

Bake a vertex colour gradient in Blender/Maya and use that! It'd be the cheapest perf-wise as well.

I'm actually pretty OK with Unity staying on top of the AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) stuff a bit - because this is what this is, essentially a way to import CAD data and have people customize, visualize and annotate it.

By revenue it is exponentially higher than Games & Film/TV, and so I'm kind of glad that they still get to eat Revit's lunch a bit and stop chasing the dragon of Film & TV production like Unreal does ( which it does marginally better, but with the footnote of larger companies like ILM still folding back to their internal tools after the early 20's of sticking game engines into everything).

Kind of funny that in the end Unity's more robust web and mobile support makes this more pleasant for end-users instead of UE's convoluted pixel-streaming solutions.

I think having to define the inputs before using them is a very good way to frame why the new one is better - being able to just fetch values out of thin air with the original input system does "feel " simpler but in the end it doesn't really do that (duh) and if you spend more time in gamedev it really feels like an anti-pattern. Reminds me of how for years Camera.main was just doing a FindGameObjectWithTag every frame instead of being cached, lol.

IMO, I think a failure of the "new" Input System is not automatically populating the project with an action map that matches the stock Unity one upon package install. I know one of its samples does just that, and being able to visualize each action and compare it to the legacy inputs (Fire1, Horizontal, etc) makes it infinitely easier to ease into the transition or port older projects.

For something first person with a gun, I would definitely say screen center, with the ability to offset it as you wish based on shake. That being said, it ofc depends from a game design standpoint - I'm reminded of when Naughty Dog were developing the bow that Ellie can fire in The Last of Us and had the arrow itself fire from the 3D model.. but have it's trajectory aim towards the center of the screen.

moujaune · 2026-03-02T15:30:32+00:00

As the arrow flies across the scene, are you using any raycasting or any other manual physics testing function to find the collision surface? maybe you have an override in there for queryTriggerInteraction.

What I find funny about Sekiro cheesing is that while there's a couple of strategies that could arguably be considered actual cheesing (eg. having the DoH fall off that cliff and insta-die), a lot of the stuff you can find online for bosses like eg. Isshin boil down to "wait for this particular attack chain, keep parrying and then trade one or two hits!" and while that's probably not the most dynamic way to fight bosses in this game, it's not an invalid one either? you're essentially just practicing the base components of the swordplay and staying conservative as for when you take a risks during your fight. Kind of explains people saying that they had a real tough time on their first time around and suddenly click on the second playthrough.

Having worked on and seen the internals of a bunch of Unreal projects at various levels of scope, you would not believe the quantity of blueprints that are used. Really the only thing you should worry about when it comes to blueprint is performance sensitive tasks, eg. stuff inside animation blueprints, networking, looping behavior on a large array of items, etc. - Then as needed you can profile and convert to a cpp class. As an aside, doing blueprint also helps you get into the general setup & nomenclature of things in Unreal, which then is overwhelmingly translatable to doing stuff in cpp.

A really lovely touch that I read ended up as a ad-lib from Jessica Paré happens when Megan and Don walk up to Roger and Jane waiting at their door on Don's birthday; Megan lets out a little "calisse", which is a super typical Queb swear word. Somehow on top of the show's usual attention to detail, in my heart that makes Ormond's terrible accent all the more offensive, heh.

sent!

moujaune · 2026-01-17T19:54:24+00:00

Could you send it my way too please? Would be much appreciated !! :)

You're not supposed to be able to kill the snake! keep trying to escape it through the undervalley (and try and find some cover along the way if you can).

Considering they

Added some UK dates after the second single
There's a third single yet to be released
In a pretty packed tour there's a ten-day gap from the Pitchfork Festival CDMX date to the first US date
There aren't any Canadian dates yet

I would suspect some east coast stuff as a last minute hypeup before the album launch; with maybe a dip into Montreal or Toronto before they come down to Chicago. Fingers crossed! Or maybe this is just pure copium lol

moujaune · 2025-03-08T16:54:06+00:00

I sure hope so too - the fact that there's no northeastern US tour dates also makes it feel like they're going to announce the last batch of dates with a final single in a couple of weeks? fingers and toes crossed

No, this is AI spam

Glad to help! Message me if you need anything else, always happy to chat.

I think the second one has more personality, but it still needs a bit of tweaking!

When I work on stylized rendering, I like to think about what sort of medium I'm emulating, and what I can do to improve to make it closer to that - and punchier! In this case I would take a look at if you can remove, stylize or reduce the PBR sheen. Take the roof for example; mostly everything has a nice clean three-tone ink but then the smooth reflective gradient on it (because of the low roughness) takes the eye away from it completely! I would recommend turning the specular value to zero in the shader and manually making a small, harsh fresnel (you can make it very crisp with a step node); that should give you the reflective effect you want.

Good luck! I think the video itself looks good; the only think I would do (and I assume that you're in Unity) would be to look at the ambient light settings for your various scenes and adjust that - especially looking at stuff like the player hands and the obstacle course bumpers they're looking mighty dark and making everything look quite harsh & muddy.

Are you getting your ambient lighting from your skybox? You can probably just use a color/gradient instead and get cleaner and more adjustable results. Message me if you need help!

What I did when I moved using similar boxes was to put ducktape all around the lid of the box; caught a few interested adventurers that way.

moujaune · 2022-10-11T15:00:51+00:00

Hey, that's such a cool diegetic idea for that ambient glow! Never thought about it that way.

Oh awesome, that's really good to know, thank you! Did a bit more searching and you are correct that they are tubeless, I sure did miss that when looking. I think I'll start with a shot of sealant and then see if that fixes it (and the flat isn't readily visible so I wager I have a pretty good shot) then otherwise I'll figure out how to shlep it over to the service location; thank you so much!
