hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 01/09/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 Made a tutorial about how to make a melee and shooter hybrid system by combining the shooter and the melee combat templates in Unreal Engine 5.6.1 😀 youtu.be/2LUfctQeYRkyoutu.beHow to Combine Shooter & Melee Combat Templates in UE5.6.1YouTube video by HugoDidIt 0123
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 13/08/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 Made a tutorial about making a 3rd person shooter using the new FPS template (Arena Shooter) that comes with Unreal Engine 5.6😀 UE 5.6 really is a good starting point for new Unreal Developers😊 imo because of the new templates youtu.be/ZuVXp39_DOwyoutu.beMaking 3rd person shooter using Unreal Engine 5.6 FPS templateYouTube video by HugoDidIt 0104

hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 23/06/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 metahuman guitar girl(friend?) getting even better next is to improve the picking😀 0123
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 18/06/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 now finally!!! she can play high speed guitar solo talking about 1/16 notes 200 bpm I rewrote almost all the codes including my own algorithm to generate guitar tab from MIDI 1193
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 30/05/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 Movie Render Queue if you render all cameras and use CLI encoder for MP4 files. it will encode all pictures to One MP4 file even if there're in different folders.So I wrote this batch file. It will encode one mp4 file for each folder. put it in root folder and run 162
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 20/05/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 It's finally there!😊 I'll call it my first Unreal Music Video first time show piano and drums in one video and the environment looks good youtu.be/jwv1HKXRmiwyoutu.beUnreal VTuber Covers - Roar of the Double Dragon (双龍の雄叫び) - Music AutomataYouTube video by HugoDidIt 052
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 17/05/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 Thanks to sub-levels I can move everything to a new environment easily. The only thing missing is a better way to move it in the main level. You have to manually enter the coordinate. That's some guess work and trial and error. It'd be nice if we can just drag it 142
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 12/05/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 if you use movie render queue. by default it will output still frames (pictures). if you want video files you can use apple ProRes plugin or install ffmpeg and set it up as a command line encoder. 074
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 04/05/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 final showcase of the keyboard play rig so far gonna go back to finalize the drum play rig after this and the band is kinda ready😀 youtu.be/r39g9nQ9qzoyoutu.beMetahuman Foot Piano with Control Rig - Unreal 5 Virtual Production TestYouTube video by HugoDidIt 184
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 28/04/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 the latest version of the keyboard rig lots of details has been added check it out with sound on😀 092
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 22/04/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 keep working on keyboard know it's getting closer to dancing on keyboard 085
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 17/04/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 fixed some bugs refined the base pose now I'm confident to call it ver 0.1 😆 going to make her play different kinds of guitar songs and improve the rig when needed but right now I'm going back to my piano rig and finalize it so I can start to do music covers 085
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 12/04/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 cant believe it's been more than a week change log: - refined finger movement logic for the left hand - use separate solver for hand and fingers to get finer control - simple implementation for the right hand. with pole vector - body animation, guitar attachment 0125
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 03/04/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 finally, one foot on the ground 350 lines of code generating 9 curves to control the left hand using both the tab and the original MIDI file it's just the first step so many things can be improved. cant wait (video has sound) 0102
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 28/03/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 now we are back here at some point I realized that IK rig has it's limits so I made my own control rig from scratch it's a bit more complicated but I gained finer control to how it behaves the next thing is actually making the fingers move driven by midi data 084
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 26/03/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 updated the skeleton adding bones for finger tips setup and tweaked a lot of parameters for the IK rig now the fingers of the left hand is all controlled by the IK targets. not perfect for sure But I'd take it as a decent start point 2106
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 25/03/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 I thought I was ready to put things together Then I realized there is no bones for the finger tips by default the closest thing is to point the root of the last joint of the index finger to the target I will have to make changes to the skeleton and also others 0106
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 24/03/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 getting the guitar ready in unreal I'm so glad it can import sockets from blender: create empties and name them with "SOCKET_" as prefix and don't forget to select empty when export cant imagine creating 138 empties in unreal, must be painful 1147
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 23/03/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 I found this tuttut project on GitHub it can convert midi to guitar tabs in text form with the help of AI I hijacked the code and now it also outputs a time table very similar to what I used for my drum kicking rig. It has time, string and fret data for each note. 0115
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 21/03/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 so I finally decided to try "playing guitar with IK rigs" and one of the difficult things is to figure out which finger and which string to use for each note. Fingers aside for the strings I have existing staff to tab solutions to use. Still a long way to go😵💫 072
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 16/03/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 Made a YouTube video about my drum kicker rig Showing it in action followed by a brief break down youtu.be/nKuENVRvrzMyoutu.beMetahuman Play Drums using Control Rig - Unreal Engine 5YouTube video by HugoDidIt 052
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 13/03/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 This topology video is godlike youtu.be/7DAFS8sga2k I learned a lot, even it's not in Englishyoutu.beポリゴンモデルの関節の分割線 [肘と膝や指など一方方向に曲がる関節の分割方法]YouTube video by MasahiroUshiyama 063
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 09/03/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 as shown in the previous post the fast motion exposes a lot of problems😵💫 so I took some time and refined the code now each kick is more context-aware (more reasonable path of the foot) also cinematic cam is used to get some motion blur plz enjoy with sound😊 0115
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 06/03/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 my project is kinda weird😵💫 content browser will always open in a separate window I have to manually drag it to make it a tab every time! I went through config files and found no clue if I delete the whole config folder it'll fix the problem but my game is broken😂 195
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 04/03/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 finally finished the drum fill transcribing it needs some more tweaks in unreal tho but it's started to get interesting Enable sound to get the full experience😀 1116
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 03/03/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame was doing some music related research and found this: so keygen music is a thing! I remember running keygen.exe to get serial numbers and the chiptune music is fire! oh I miss the days when computers are more magical and mysterious to me.😂 082
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 02/03/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 transcribing a fancy drum fill so that my girl can play it in unreal I really hope some AI can do it for me but I guess not today😂 095
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 01/03/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 another interesting free asset on cgtrader 1123
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 28/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 added one more IK target for the hip and upper body movement. now it should look less stiff 0124
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 27/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 🤣 I was kinda stupid I don't have to screen record the unreal editor I can just make a level sequence set the length to my need and hit RENDER😵💫 182
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 26/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 wasn't happy about the texture of her socks so I tried something new😵💫 0102
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 25/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 dancing on a huge keyboard to play music... last time when I post it, it's labeled as adult content for some reason so I spent some time and made some changes will it work tho let's find out😂 0113
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 24/02/2025so my last post is labeled as adult content wrongfully again... it makes me wonder... what if I post the same thing on twitter maybe that's something worth trying 000
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 23/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 play a huge keyboard with feet like dancing... now with material change and sound it starts to make more sense it's still pretty basic tho 162
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 22/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 playing the correct keys in the MIDI file 071
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 21/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 kinda unexpectedly satisfying to watch 072
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 20/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 didn't know you have to manually implement a for-loop with delay macro in unreal. and now each key can be pressed down 0124
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 19/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 generate the keyboard procedually in runtime every key is an actor otherwise I have to manually rig and animate each key I need to parent them to a root tho cant even move or scale them together🤣 0113
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 18/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 I'd say it's a good start I wasnt sure about my "dancing on keyboard only using IK target" plan😵💫 2125
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 17/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 the first touch still a lot of work to do before she can move 084
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 16/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 drums: almost done moving on to the next stage: 😀 0114
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 15/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 adding some old stuff: face aim eyes aim facial animation 095
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 14/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 the promised hub intro😜 0124
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 13/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 was looking for some MIDI files for my girl to play and I realized windows can not playback MIDI files anymore u need sound fonts it brings me back to 2001 when I bought my first sound blaster live! and 20+ years later I still achieved nothing😵💫 still trying tho... 082
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 12/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 So the low fps was because of the high triangle count just right click the asset in the content browser, go to "nanite", and "enable nanite" and fps goes from 20 to 50~ works like magic and btw we are very close to the hub intro😜 084
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 11/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 there is a very strange thing I used "add local offset" to move the drums and then my fps drops from 60 to 20 hours in and I still dont know why 😵💫 073
hugodidit.bsky.social @hugodidit.bsky.social · 10/02/2025#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #UE5 more drum kit parts more complicated drum play I guess I need to animate the drums being hit at some point or at least for the cymbals 0114
