Interesting, Brickadia now uses the excellent VoxelCore Plugin by @phyronnaz.bsky.social for drawing debug markers. It's a LOT faster than Unreal's own debug drawing feature. In the shown example it increases the framerate from around 1 fps to 136(!)

Whoa, I ran into @phyronnaz.bsky.social in Orlando! He made the Voxel Plugin for Unreal! So many cool people to run into at Unreal Fest. And it's only two weeks now until the next one in Stockholm 😯

I got tired of Unreal's debug drawing performance, so I made my own system today. Drawing +50M points just works now :) If you want to use it: github.com/VoxelPlugin/...

We've made Property History free & open source! You can use it to quickly see the history of any property in Unreal github.com/VoxelPlugin/...

This is really cool :)

Here's an update on my small-voxel renderer, inspired by the look of games like Doom and Quake. The work I shared last year focused on handling simpler environment geometry. Since then, I've greatly expanded the scope of what I can depict in this art style. More info in thread.

I’m in London all week if anyone wants to meet up!

The new Nanite Foliage Voxel representation is an absolute game changer for distant environments, density preservation is pretty much perfect. 5 min test scene i whipped up here. ~1 million 20 million poly trees scattered with PCG #UE5 #UnrealEngine #GameDev #EnvironmentArt #RealTime

Cinematic Chips is now live on FAB, 155 High Poly Nanite Chips & Fries assets for Unreal Engine that look mighty fine (salt not included). Best results use Path Tracing with Substrate enabled for some great SSS, but they also work in raster. fab.com/s/476daa2beed8 #UnrealEngine #UE5 #GameDev

Got my ticket for Unreal Fest Stockholm! Who's coming?

been dying for a feature like this ever since i was on the sims and our custom editor let you see who last edited any field. this is a must have in any project imo

My plugin for #UnrealEngine is almost done! It lets you blend any mesh. Not just landscape, not PDO. This magic lets you blend anything!🤯 #GameArt #UE5 #GameDev

The slides from my Unreal Fest talk are now online! victorcareil.com/unreal-fest-...

In preparation for my talk at Unreal Fest Bali this week, I've made a small blog post on how to create a custom FMaterialShader in Unreal: victorcareil.com/making-mater...

I’m at GameCamp this week, anyone else going?

Just another talk from @flassari.bsky.social at Unreal Fest

The schedule for Unreal Fest Bali is now live! I'm *so* proud of the slate we've put together for it. This conference is super skills focused and will be one of the best upskilling events for UE developers across ANZ and SEA. Please share it around! unrealfest.unrealengine.com/event/5bc521...

My talk “Lessons From a Plugin Developer: How to Extend UE When You’re Not Epic” has been accepted at Unreal Fest Bali! This is the first time I'm doing a public talk like this - should be fun :)

See you soon!

This is huge

Tired of debugging optimized code with missing variables and inlined functions? @visualstudio.com preview now has Dynamic Debugging which automatically unoptimizes functions you step into while debugging 👀 Available in UE 5.6, or with a simple cherry pick: devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/cpp-...

Goodbye San Francisco! GDC was a blast. I met so many amazing & brilliant people. Next up is Unreal Fest Orlando, and then maybe Bali. Let me know if you’re planning to be there!

If you are using Visual Studio with Resharper or another tool replacing Intellisense: Setting 'Disable Intellisense' to True is _not_ enough, you also need to set 'Disable Database' to True This made VS sooooo much faster for me 😅

I’ll be at GDC in March, ping me if you’d like to meet!

Since I've included it in a bunch of my past talks: For anyone wondering what happened to r.Nanite.ShowMeshDrawEvents in #UnrealEngine 5.5, we consolidated Nanite and non-Nanite under r.ShowMaterialDrawEvents. #UETips

I've updated my open-source container library for Unreal Seems to still be much faster than the stock Unreal containers :) #ue5 #gamedev #indiedev
