It's not always pretty behind the scenes, in a world of uncertainty and working alone a vast majority of the time, I still record my failures because it exists. I'm not sure what success entails, I'm only competing against my past. #gamedev #art #solodev

some subtle changes to main menu #solodev #gamedev

rewrote hair&cloth color system to blend through several moving parts + blinking. got stuck on something so wanted to make small wins happen in between animated sword icon added to match added cardinal damage bonus on missiles(red=back, green=front) #indiedev #gamedev #ue5 #solodev

Look at something. tried to make my character have a natural gaze at whatever you're fighting. Applies to all animations, including cutscenes. A small part of a larger mechanic I'm working on. #ue5 #unrealengine5 #indiedev

Energy Response VFX (UE5 WIP) #ue5 #unrealengine5 #metahuman #hair #vfx #indiedev #gamedev

the combo system & combos i put into gameplay. I expect to expand the final 5-string combo more later, 1-4 is done and each has their own unique capabilities. #unrealengine5 #animation #ue5 #indiedev #gameplay

Empowered the basics and also +interruption mech +maneuverable techniques +working on boss behavior +combo sequences #unrealengine #ue5 #indiedev #gamedev

learning and applying Chaos Cloth outfits to realtime, white dress & arm ribbons #ue5 #unrealengine #chaoscloth

I disconnect from digital art and pick up the pencil and draw often when on breaks at work or evenings before sleep and tend to take progression shots of them over time I make some of them into 3D characters later on with vfx exercises or gameplay #art #sketch #drawing #vfx #unrealengine #ue5

I took a grand detour from designing my character's outfit because I got stuck and did a fanart piece instead, it'll be out in 2 days. the theme is error, possession and bygone gods for this short segment #ue5 #unrealengine5 #vfx

To wrap it up: DLSS5 is GenAi, Jensen himself doubled down on it, it's a unified blanket hit instead of a specific trained target, what's in that unified model who knows. The RE9 shot is definitely a morph in all details being washed out and GenAi'ed. Even AI chatbots call it GenAI and washed out 🤷

DLSS5 debacle of genAI filters on visuals in a game drastically changes the output to a generic AI look. Grace's face isn't even the same, if you think that's lighting you have no knowledge about anatomy. Lighting doesn't change your silhouette structure or your facial features position.

how it looks, v2 probably spent the most time making better hair that's lighter and sculpted a more detailed face from drawing a lot changed entire framework and redid every anim to fix offsets and errors i bandaided from v1 #indiedev #UE5

updating main character's face and hair after the last char i made #blender #ue5 #unrealengine5 #groom #hair #screenshotsaturday

made a new char too #ue5 #blender #metahuman #gamedev #unrealengine #screenshotsaturday #vfx #hair #indiedev

put in missiles, jump slam, polished a number of animations and added new ones #ue5 #metahuman #screenshotsaturday #unrealengine #gamedev #vfx #indiegamedev #solodev

I translated the sword blast from the cinematic into a gameplay ability #UnrealEngine5 #ue5

I made a fire blast, or two. #ue5 #vfx #unrealengine5

From Jesse Pitela's(redefineFX) witcher course sand monster, additional stuff of my own and an added shockwave stomp. Rendered in path tracer #ue5 #unrealengine5 #niagara #fluidsimulation My 1.5weeklong break from game dev is making #vfx? 😲 hero voiced by Pealeaf

Trying to do seamless transitions in #ue5 from game -> cutscene -> game but can't seem to find any answers, there are some unique issues(or i'm just way newb) when doing custom root motions. Tried a swap root bone with actor but is semi-bugged in 5.6. Checked other ue games but it's usually camcuts

Not that great with environments but trying #ue5 #metahuman #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #UnrealEngine #gamedev #vfx

Wanted to stop hopping around to dodge so, made a block #ue5 #metahuman #indiedev #gamedev

I restarted my project from a blank project like new game+ and just applying what I learned making it look/feel ok at the beginning #ue5

Started incorporating my sketchbook drawings into the 3D space with new effects in Unreal Engine 5.5 #ue5 #vfx #unrealengine

I made a short guide on UV'ing 3D on blender A few settings turned on and using CTRL+LMB (shortest path, tag seam) ALT+LMB->U->M (to edge loop/ring -> mark seam) Once seams are done, just other live unwrap, pin and move stuff around #blender #b3d #Guide youtube.com/shorts/0K6aQ...

small fixes this week: refined her hair & extended the length a little & fixed her eyes since i found it breaking from some tests. #metahuman #ue5 #unrealengine #b3d #blender #groom #rig #wip

I turned a drawing of an OC I did a few months ago and started with a sphere 2 weeks ago and then I just grinded, this is how it turned out #unrealengine #UE5 #metahuman #groom #gameart #indie #blender

You can make small fixes without needing to rerig everything all within UE5 for skeletal meshes. #UE5 #metahuman
