Reading high quality content this morning in a cafe ✨📕 @othatsraspberry.com

A hand holding a purple mini-comic titled "othatsraspberry presents RESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM NONSENSE". The cover illustration shows a stern Leon Kennedy holding a tiny, crying Grace Ashcroft as she trembles and aims an omega huge handgun. So fun!🤩

This is the most capitalist way to measure something.

A hand size guide comparing hand length to stacked credit cards: Small is under 17.5 cm / 6.9 in (less than 3 credit cards), Medium is 17.5–19 cm / 6.9–7.5 in (about 3 credit cards), and Large is over 19 cm / 7.5 in (more than 3 credit cards).

What the actual fuck?!

Just learned that the studio behind two of my favorite JRPG ever (Golden Sun) is THE Mario sport game maker. Just look at this: - Mario sport game - Mario sport game ... - 2 freaking awesome JRPGs - Mario sport game - Mario sport game ... Thank you @cnicollrun.bsky.social for this fun fact❤️

Between 1999 and 2005, Camelot operated as a full tilt Mario sports machine, pumping out 8 different golf and tennis titles.

Right in the middle of that sports marathon, they took a quick two year pitstop from 2001 to 2002 to drop back-to-back JRPG masterpieces: Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age.

Then, without missing a beat, they jumped right back onto the tennis court.

So proud to have our game @riyogames.bsky.social showcased like this on @steampowered.com for the #SummerGamesFest 😭✨ store.steampowered.com/sale/Dayofth...

Can you tell which one is made by me vs my 2.5 yo? 🤔

One of my favorite art I made a long time ago. I love using soft pink and blue 🏳‍⚧. I feel bad that's not video game related, but I really wanted to share it ❤️ #transrightsarehumanrights

An abstract artwork where we can see a glowing white cat sitting in the middle of a reflective surface with some glowing flowers around him watching a bright star in the sky. The color range reminds the Trans flag: blue and rose. We are all humans.

My little victory of the day: going out to my favourite coffee shop and read a book for one hour. It was difficult to go there because of my “you don’t deserve that” voices. But in the end, it was quite relaxing.

Just found out that there is an awesome plugin on #unrealEngine named "UMG Widget Preview" (doing what it says) BUT after enabling it, you must enter this in the console command: UMG.EnablePreviewMode 1 Close all your opened widgets, and reopen them and you should see an new Preview Button! ✨

Screenshot of the UMG Widget Preview plugin enabled in an unreal engine project. This plugin is labeled as experimental.

In a opened widget, a new button "Preview" appeared next to "Designer" and "Graph".

If you're using the #UnrealEngine plugin Motion made by Kia Armani and you want to add some inertia to the camera rotation, you could do it like this: gist.github.com/Plimsky/925aacdcad0… #UE5 #gamedev #indiedev #code #cpp

The image shows a code snippet from a C++ function called GetCameraView within a UMotionCameraComponent class. The highlighted section focuses on applying an inertia effect to the camera's rotation. It checks if it's the first initialization and, if not, interpolates the CurrentRotation towards the UpdatedCameraRotation using FMath::RInterpTo for a smooth camera movement.

Amd here the material! We assign the RenderTarget texture to the TextureSample and we use the Distance node to help us to determine what to draw and what to keep transparent. Since the RenderTarget Clear Color is black, then we use that data to draw only what is not this color.

This image shows a material graph in Unreal Engine 5. It uses a texture sample and some math operations to create a visual effect, likely related to highlighting or outlining an object.

Vincent Nicopolsky @vincent-nicopolsky.com · 14/11/2024

After that, the last steps are UI related: I have my UI that will be displayed when I interact with the object. I add an image and I assign a Material to the Brush. I also set the Image Size as the same as the RenderTarget.

This is a screenshot of a UI element in Unreal Engine 5. It shows a 2048x2048 image called "M_UI_Inspection_MeshOver" used as a brush for a UI element, likely a visual effect for object inspection.

Then, in my PlayerController (for you it could be wherever you feel it has its place), I add the actor that I’m interacting with into the ShowOnlyActors array of the SceneCaptureComponent2D.

This is Unreal Engine C++ code for player interaction. When the player interacts with an object, the code isolates that object in a Scene Capture 2D component, likely for a visual effect or UI element.

Vincent Nicopolsky @vincent-nicopolsky.com · 14/11/2024

Then I open my character blueprint and I add a SceneCaptureComponent2D (screenshot 1) and I assign the RenderTarget to the Texture Target and I change the Primitive Render Mode to Use ShowOnly List. With this, only the specified actors will be rendered into the texture.

This image shows the components of a "Fog_MotionCharacter" Blueprint in Unreal Engine 5. It likely represents a player or AI character.

Key Components:

Movement/Collision:
CapsuleComponent (standard collision)
Collision Feeler (precise checks)
Visuals:
Mesh (character model)
FlashLight
Sound:
BPC_SpeakerComponent
Camera:
MotionCameraComponent with SceneCapture2D
Gameplay:
Fog_CrouchComponent (crouching)
AbilitySystemComponent (character abilities)
This hierarchy suggests a character with standard movement, a camera system, visual elements, sound, and gameplay abilities.

This image shows the settings for a SceneCaptureComponent2D in Unreal Engine 5. This component captures a 2D image of the game scene.

Key settings:

Texture Target: "TR_InspectionTexture" - This is the Render Target asset where the captured image will be stored.
Primitive Render Mode: "Use ShowOnly List" - This likely means the capture will only include specific actors or objects defined in a list, excluding others.

Vincent Nicopolsky @vincent-nicopolsky.com · 14/11/2024

Let’s explain in more details how I made this! First, I created a new RenderTarget in a folder of my project and I set the paremeters as such. #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev

This image shows the properties of a render target in Unreal Engine 5. It's mostly using default settings, with only two modifications:

Size X: 2048
Size Y: 2048
This sets the render target resolution to 2048x2048 pixels. All other parameters are inherited from the "RenderTarget" Texture Group or use the engine's default values.

Pretty happy with the transition to the inspection UI 👌🏻✨ I'm using a Render Target texture and put the Scene Capture Component 2D into my Character (as a child to the camera). Then I use the Use ShowOnly List render mode in order to get only my inspected object being captured. #UnrealEngine #UE5
