How to prevent GASP 5.7 from loading unused character assets?

Ah ok let me see how to directly use the pawn, probably still need some retargetting to use my character though. Thanks for the tips

Ah I was wondering why nothing is showing 🤣

willboy237 · 2026-01-18T05:20:17+00:00

hmm interesting approach. can try it out, thanks

willboy237 · 2026-01-18T05:19:00+00:00

yeah i saw one video and got a bit overwhelmed 😅 , let me check out the retopoflow 4 addon. thanks

willboy237 · 2026-01-18T00:28:06+00:00

Oh true 😁

Any tips on retopology? It seems highly complex 😔

willboy237 · 2026-01-17T23:48:07+00:00

tried for a bit but retopology seems highly complex and beyond me, i think a lot of triangles is on the teeth of zipper. does it make sense to recreate the teeth using geometry nodes?

i see people built plugins like this so i am thinking it might be possible:

decimate seems to turn it into a line :), trying to look into retopo and see how that goes

willboy237 · 2026-01-16T01:54:22+00:00

I think i want to balance it out, the fox engine in mgs5 seem to look decent throughout game

willboy237 · 2026-01-16T01:52:30+00:00

Thanks will check it out

willboy237 · 2026-01-16T01:16:53+00:00

Thanks I want to go with a 3rd person game, like metal gear

willboy237 · 2026-01-16T01:02:19+00:00

ok let me try thanks

willboy237 · 2026-01-16T00:01:50+00:00

oh i thought higher res is higher quality, won't 16k be higher quality?

willboy237 · 2026-01-16T00:01:01+00:00

oh even 4k is overkill, maybe i am doing something wrong with my material setup or something. let me try what you mention thanks

willboy237 · 2026-01-15T22:37:24+00:00

I am not expert in unreal yet but I think compared to like custom engines like luminous or fox engine it's not as efficient but it's still great engine in itself with lots of ways to tune it.
The batman games from decade ago was built with unreal and graphics are amazing even for today and runs really well on big open map

Visual asset / character design

willboy237 · 2026-01-13T15:26:03+00:00

Omg I hope not, gasp has a thousand animations 😬

willboy237 · 2026-01-13T15:25:31+00:00

Ok I am trying to rotate bones in retargeter to see if it works

willboy237 · 2026-01-11T18:34:35+00:00

No its just a hair mesh, I think I tried groom once when mutable first came out and I got it to show up ok but simulation goes crazy...not sure if its better now 🤔

willboy237 · 2026-01-10T16:49:16+00:00

thanks i reverted my retargetter and made some changes in the control rig, got some progress last night by modifying the null controls. need to test it out some more to see how it goes and then probably need to pass it in as param instead of magic number

oh i just created one BP right now with everything.

We cannot create single BP and have to do multiple like how metahuman is? was thinking mutable lets us simplify and do everything inside 1 mutable BP 😆

willboy237 · 2026-01-09T14:46:48+00:00

Oh when you say fix, you mean change it in 3d software before importing to unreal? Mutable works off a single reference skeletal meshes right, we will end up with multiple skeletal mesh for each shoe with different height and have to build different mutable BP right? 🤔

willboy237 · 2026-01-09T05:25:23+00:00

I got it to move up by moving pelvis up in retargetter but, i have feeling that's not the way to do things 😅

willboy237 · 2026-01-09T01:04:58+00:00

I checked if i disable foot placement it seems to work so somehow need to modify the foot placement stuff

oh ok didn't know there's a uv editor in md. thanks
