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(!)

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/...

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

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 😅

A 🧵 on Bindless Textures in UE5! In UE5.5, bindless textures seem to be non-experimental. But they're still disabled by default, and entirely undocumented. Enabling them should, in most cases, be a performance gain. Doing so will also let you 'bypass' the limits on unique SRV and samplers. 1/x

I'm off work, so obviously that means it's time to work on my own #techart stuff! Having fun playing with seasons, trying really hard to make it work without needing extra assets for the different seasons. If the project lives, it'll be a survival game in-between Subnautica and The Long Dark 👀

In addition to sculpting, Voxel Plugin 2 will have a fully non-destructive stamp-based workflow In other words: you'll be able to use any mesh you want to shape the terrain, and if you need to move them 6 months later, you can! Here I'm making a simple cave with 3 meshes

I'm open-sourcing Voxel Plugin's Core! This includes a lot of utilities we use to make high performance code on top of Unreal, such as a TMap alternative that's roughly 2x faster. A ton of editor helpers are also included :) github.com/VoxelPlugin/...
