@TimSweeneyEpic@megangrA I bet the trick is the contrast of emotions. The dopamine that social media apps provide likely comes from the rollercoaster of anger, joy, frustration, etc. Same as with video games — people get hooked when they both lose and win, not always win or always lose.
ISO AI tool that I can give read-only access to all my social media tools to block all posts about sports. And ads and “suggested content.” Willing to pay premium.
This is great AI use case but I don’t think platforms will permit.
What happens when destruction stops being a visual trick and becomes a real simulation? 🤔
Working on integrating the Dematerializer, structural destruction, and metal deformation with Box3D.
The goal: deterministic chaos that works in multiplayer. ⚙️💥
The hardest bug to fix might be making sure everyone gets the same explosion... 😂
What would you destroy first?
Been learning about Niagara recently and it's insane 👀
Before this, I made all my animations with Verse and keyframes. You can see on the left side it looks laggy, and with 100 popups it's really hard on the server. On the right side is the Niagara version where Verse only spawns it and sets the material, so having 100 of those is way lighter on the server and runs way smoother.
With Verse-driven animations you're relying on the server, and Fortnite servers run at 30 ticks a second and that means you can change position, scale or whatever only 30 times in a second, so that's your hard cap. Niagara runs on the client instead of the server, so you're not bound by that same limit and you can create way smoother animations.
Definitely learning more about Niagara, it's a game changer. Kind of upset I didn't find it sooner 😭
i don't think i'll ever touch a dynamic text material again
you can now drag a UMG widget straight into the world in UEFN and use it as text. everything still works the same: Verse fields, UI animations, all of it
and the best part is localization. your text translates itself into whatever languages you set up
if you've ever built dynamic text by hand you know how big this is
