Nice! hope it works out. 13:46 I apply the scale, but i'd been scaling in edit mode, so no idea why it was funky. I think it was getting clamped on the other version

@@advtec201 ooft, always a part of the job to fix up other models 😵 If you have any questions I would like to make more tutorials, let me know if you are struggling with anything. Thanks for the comment!

@@AndrewWeirArt My primary struggle is taking a high-poly (25k triangles) but terribly optimized meshes and reducing them down to low-poly (4k triangles) in a way that preserves the outer geometry enough to bake. I feel that I've perfected baking in zbrush, I don't have any seams or texture issues with the normals or diffuse bakes, I only have geometric issues from the methods I've been using to optimize this test model not quite getting the right outer geometry. For clarity on my situation I have 2 jobs and a business, but combined they don't pay great and I have guardianship of my mom so I need more money to help take care of her. 3d Modeling is not involved in any of those 3 income sources, I'm learning it for uploading into games as a hobby but also if I get good enough at it I would then sell the 3d models. So while I don't see making money from it in the immediate future I do hope to make money from it eventually. I have attained limited licenses from a few 3d modelers from other games to port some of their models, and the engine I am porting them to has very strict triangle limits. This is how I have hundreds of models to optimize. If you would be at all interested in collaborating on a project, my end-goal is to create a plugin for blender that is a 1-click solution in redoing mesh topology as we visually see it in the viewport, not based on surface normals/vertices/UV maps/etc. so that what we see in the viewport is the topology we will get after the optimization. hidden messes in the unseen portions of the mesh would have no impact like it does in other remesh plugins and software I've tried. You could then have full creative license make videos and tutorial on using said plugin effectively, I have no interest in video making for youtube or otherwise? The end result for this would be a blender plugin that uses a python script that can take all meshes in a folder, optimize it with the settings input, and export the result into an output folder. Turning possibly weeks of work on the hundreds of models I have into hours of computer processing (and possibly 1 burnt out gpu, mine is pretty bad 🤷‍♂). Sorry I'm a bit long winded, my full time and part time jobs require me to give detailed back-briefs on things. If this does interest you at all please reach out to me by email andrewrdean2@gmail.com

Type in "distance field" and the nodes should appear. I've not been in unreal engine for a long time now 😵

@@rodolflum3444 hmmm? What do you mean sorry?

Oh yeah 🤔 they are in the description. But I'll edit again

Should be on now 👍

Thanks mate! just uploaded a new one too tom follow up on this video. Looking to make more videos, but always looking to cover things that are not talked about as much :)

@@AndrewWeirArt I'm definitely sticking around. Take care!

You would be surprised by how much is the same, they have made it so much better, but not lost their core. Always been strong 💪

Hello, sorry I think I removed it, this was before a time of the substance store being what it is now. I think you will be able to find more online

@@AndrewWeirArt Can you share me personally on email id or artstation if you have ?

There are... I'm sure Google will give you a better answer then me, but I'd say a texture is always better

@@AndrewWeirArt I didn't find anything on google, that's why I'm asking desperately haha, thanks for taking the time to reply 🙏

I don't think so, it could be possible the collision volumes could have distance fields for some old effects. But I don't think so anymot

What are your PC or laptop specs? I can only think it might not be powerful enough

@@AndrewWeirArt 5800X3D, 3070 Ti, 32GB RAM 🤔

@@Lily-mc5de well, sounds fine then, very similar to my work PC - i'll try the cloth tools next time i'm at work adn see if it lags, but then consider the version of blender having an issue?i'm just guessing, it has always run fine on my I71200k and 3080

I don't, and neither do Epic apparently. It was my understanding when distance fields were first introduced, that they were used for distance shadows too. But they cull in a short range. So epic also used this style of blend in their water shaders for foam. But it's all disconnected because it glitches in the distance. Basically, this effect is for near detail only unfortunately and it popping in can be seen in fortnite

@@AndrewWeirArt Thanks for clarifying. The fact that it only produces a consistent result if you maintain a distance threshold from the camera limits use. I see 5 different 'LODs' when testing zooming in and out with the camera, each drawn in gradually. Hopefull it can be addressed as it is quite a useful feature.

I'm not sure on the logistics of a moving mesh and lumen, the mesh AO might be improved with a baked map, but I've also never noticed any glaring issues in this. Not much help, sorry!

maybe this method will help ua-cam.com/video/gHQtV4JCsfU/v-deo.html

What should I do?

抱歉，我没有早点看到这个 - this is a known issue that has caused me problems too. unfortunately the effect is one that epic use across the different projects, but in game it is a subtle effect, so you don't notice the lack of it in game. in the examples shown, black and white is too harsh of a transition

Glad it helped! 😋

Not sure what you mean? It can be a bit funny lumen though yeah. It fades out quite fast at a distance

Thanks! So it's just some standard cloth simulation and pinning

Stuff like this ua-cam.com/video/D6H9bHrWgAk/v-deo.html

@@AndrewWeirArt So you exported some skeleton mesh from Blender and then simulated in UE? Do you know how I can convert the simulation to a static mesh? Atm when I do cloth its simulates when I run the simulation but turns back to flat surfaces when I stop the simulation.

😋 cheers! Only been a few hours so far, hopefully getting some more done today 😁

hey! made a video, unsure how useful it will be - but generally just based on known scales of objects. ua-cam.com/video/HqE0fu-EDtE/v-deo.html

i've updated the tag name, I forgot about this one until, the end of the video Linked / Element 23:49 hover over the object and press L or have a part of the object selected and press Ctrl L

It's not great in any program. Though I only did it in Maya a few years ago. I prefer the heat map view in blender. It's just basic 🤷‍♂️
