huh. decided to check this account for the first time in months and i can't even see anyone's posts. hi though! i've been busy working on stuff. finishing some stuff up on FTRM to get that port out.
and finally i've been working on some procedural geometry tools for @FlaxEngine
One very annoying thing about Unreal is that things randomly seem deprecated? I'm just trying to add a component in the constructor but it just doesn't seem to work right no matter what I do and every post I can find is from varying years with random ways of doing it
what is it with game engines and not letting me use matrices in their material graphs it's so tiring
My #UE5 update
Now that I've kind of got a nice workflow I'm actually kind of enjoying using it. Null errors crashing the editor still annoy me and the seemingly random naming of things that are standard across the rest of game engines is frustrating as hell but, it's been fun
Playing around some more with Unreal and distance fields are super cool

Okay, giving UE5 a good shot and uh, this live coding thing? Kinda awesome. Way better than it was in UE4
been working on making our UI look a bit more animated. really happy with how it looks so far 😊

I think when I'm done with my current load of FTRM stuff I'll migrate my lil side project over to UE5 now that I know I can fix the physics bugs by not using their dumb new physics system
turns out i made an oopsie with mesh generation in the compute shader so i had to learn even more about them
now i understand

every time i make insane optimisations to FTRM that make it even more playable on low end hardware i cry a little bit as the imposter syndrome goes away for a bit
Speeding things up with compute shaders feels like magic. I've unlocked so many possibilities. Insert galaxy brain image here
