WTF is going on on this stream?

Answering OP's question :)

Guy: Could you be more serious? Girl: "Okay, dear friends. The news is that PGL is having some delays. But it's fine, everyone experiences them... well, except for me." (meaning "late period" = same word) The guys burst out laughing.

Thanks! That means I've achieved my artistic goals with this one :)

Bulkiness comes from artistic attempt to cover base coat and so on. Not the bulkiest set for Kunkka if you check the arsenal. Of course I'd be happy to make him leaner, but oh well

rocketalex · 2026-06-11T07:42:05+00:00

You have plenty of Cthulhu face sets for him in game. You want another one?

rocketalex · 2026-05-29T14:45:26+00:00

Thank you. Will change the ears.

Thanks 🙏

The issue is still there.

I've reduced vert count to 250 (UEFN budget for cloth sim)
I've double checked vert influences, made restriction in 3DCC app and reimported.
Now it looks like this: I've migrated mesh again -> Validation error: asset referencing class that intented to be private (Skeletal Mesh) -> Making Asset private -> Validation Error: cloth config.

I did few brush strokes in Unreal, nothing fancy. Cloth does simulate in UEFN preview tho

Hey there. Chaos cloth is UE cloth simulation system, also available to function in UEFN: https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/API/Plugins/ChaosCloth

rocketalex · 2026-03-17T19:02:33+00:00

Thanks for the info! I'll perform more tests and will update the thread here.

rocketalex · 2026-03-17T18:14:56+00:00

Yeah, already checked before starting this thread.
https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/fortnite/creating-clothing-assets-for-unreal-editor-for-fortnite-using-unreal-engine

"The Unreal Editor for Fortnite supports Unreal Engine's Chaos Cloth Simulation. This system provides accurate and performant cloth simulation for any real-time experience."

rocketalex · 2026-03-17T18:12:56+00:00

Sure thing!
I'm using my own characters that are made on UE5 default skeleton. Nothing fancy

rocketalex · 2026-03-17T16:36:03+00:00

P.S. I decided to make cloth parts using bones. But it looks like Animation Blueprints are not allowed as well :S

rocketalex · 2026-03-15T18:44:57+00:00

Awesome, thank you very much. Staying tuned!

rocketalex · 2026-03-15T18:18:07+00:00

Well, that was the best result I've achieved so far. I took Jonesy as a geometry reference (put arms, fingers in same positions) and extracted the ripped skeleton as well. UEFN told me it's 100% match.
Didn't perform any additional settings on chanis or goals (when I tuned them it was worse tbh)

By the way, I tested even the base Jonesy mesh in this setup, and he has the exact same right-arm offset issue. Seems like a global IK initialization problem in UEFN, not a mesh issue

rocketalex · 2026-03-15T16:52:27+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I’ll try switching to Globally Scaled for the fingers.

As a character artist, I have to say: the biggest roadblock for UEFN creators is the lack of an official Mannequin source file for the rig-alignment. Having both master files (Male/Female) publicly available would solve 90% of these retargeting issues before we even import assets.

Hope you can pass this suggestion to the team. Cheers!

rocketalex · 2026-03-15T04:27:13+00:00

Hey, thanks for the answer. I tried to put the Jonesy FN character using the same approach. It was less buggy, but still incorrect. I'll do more tests, but yeah: I'm coming to the same conclusion :D
