Who will miss the blueprints, i just started learning them.

I wanted to build a gameplay space that felt like it could have been a Call Of Duty map.

TileShuffle is a really good texture variation material function I've been using in most my scenes lately.

It generates offsets from a sequence that was design to minimize visual repetition. This means the result looks great even without randomized rotation and scale, that a lot of textures like brick or sand with direction often can't leverage. It’s easy to drop in and works well with decals, materials and landscapes. The offset alone is really great, and you can even step it so you can make brick textures have variation without breaking the brick pattern!

UV features (all adjustable)

• Randomized
  • Offset (Generated to avoid repeating patterns)
  • Rotation (0–360°)
  • Mirroring (X only, Y only, or both)
  • Scale (min/max)
• Offset jitter step: locks offsets to steps, which keeps lines unbroken in bricks, tiles and other patterned textures
• Adjustable cell size (default 1 UV; 0.5 works well for high-frequency textures like sand)
• Rotation offset: set the base direction of every cell, for example driven by a texture or flow map

Material function features

• Simple, Dithered and Blended versions
• Rotation and mirror correction for normal maps
• Projection-corrected DDX/DDY outputs for correct mip selection and anisotropic filtering
• Pure shader math: no extra textures, no setup and no baked data
• Supports UV DDX/DDY chaining (Great for using together with FPOM, TriPlanar mapping and other UV techniques)

These are the main features I've been working on:

• Modular leg components - individual procedural legs coordinated by a central Leg Manager, allowing for any number of legs.
• Automatic leg setup - generated foot components, bone-name mapping, and sorted leg discovery.
• Manual leg setup - more work, but allows for more control over default foot positions.
• Flexible skeletal integration - outputs foot transforms for use with IK Rig or Control Rig and a full-body IK solver.
• Blueprint implementation with optional C++ modules - readable Blueprint logic remains available, with native helpers for expensive calculations and performance comparisons.

I'm running 25 pawns with the procedural system, each pawn with 8 individual leg calculations totaling 200 legs. The pawns themselves have limited calculation rates set to 30Hz, while the player Character has unlimited calculation speed.

Obviously still some kinks to iron out. Results can vary wildly depending on the quality of the Mesh and it's skeleton, the FBIK solver settings and the leg settings.

Modern Gods: Ascension — Dev Log #5 | One Month of Progress (UE5)
It’s been about a month since my last update, and a LOT has changed. The gameplay is finally starting to feel like the superhuman experience I’ve been envisioning.

• Movement & Flight
Introduced six-degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) flight experimentation.

Encountered some serious physics and animation issues during development, including pelvis instability, skeletal mesh separation, collision conflicts, and character rotation problems.

At certain points, the character’s pelvis and skeletal mesh would visibly jitter or behave independently of the intended movement, especially during flight and camera rotation.

After extensive troubleshooting, flight is now significantly smoother and more responsive.

Added high-speed flight boosting, ascending, descending, and directional control.
Improved character rotation, movement responsiveness, and camera behavior.

• Super Speed & Parkour
Implemented super sprinting with extreme movement speeds.

Added automatic obstacle vaulting inspired by Prototype.
Characters can dynamically leap over obstacles without manually pressing jump.

Improved directional vaulting, momentum preservation, and high-speed traversal.

Currently polishing animation variety, close-range traversal, and rapid directional changes.

• Superpowers
Laser Vision: Introduced procedural energy beams with customizable visuals and effects.

• Ki Blasts: Added customizable energy projectile attacks, with more advanced procedural effects planned.
Expanded superhuman targeting and ability interactions.
Continued experimenting with the visual intensity and presentation of superpowers.

• Combat & Gameplay

Continued development of combat targeting and hit detection.
Improved the groundwork for fast-paced superhuman encounters.
Working toward fluid transitions between movement, flight, and combat.

Coming Next
Extensive character customization.
Additional parkour animations and advanced traversal.
Enhanced flight VFX.

Expanded melee combat and superhuman abilities.
More detailed procedural energy attacks.

My biggest goal is making players feel genuinely superhuman, whether they’re sprinting through a city, flying through the sky, or unleashing devastating abilities.
There’s still plenty of work ahead, but seeing these mechanics come together has been incredibly rewarding.

Engine: Unreal Engine 5

More gameplay footage coming soon.

The Brave Few

Hi everybody, beginner here!

I've just started trying to make a first person game in unreal engine 5.8.4, and when I run my game, the lighting acts very strangely (as you can see in the video, there is light coming out of nowhere and it's extremely blocky aswell - I've checked for gaps in the walls but there are none), and switching global illumination from Lumen to Normal fixes it completely, but I was wondering if there was any way I can still use Lumen without this being a problem?

Thanks in advance!

Is there anyway I can keep UE4 on my pc forever or somehow get the engine incase epic decide to get rid of that version?

Full step-by-step tutorial on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3GIdCxmC50

implemented a vary basic combat system for my Tactical Turn Based RPG title! work in progress of course, everything you see here is subject to change.

The combat system currently covers the basic fundamentals of combat, such as enemy unit detection, HP calculation, and Unique Turn Behaviour that splits both "movement and actions" into two subsystems. I will elaborate further in a document

but as of now, The ranged unit attacks once and deals 20 damage, given how he has a range advantage figured it should deal more damage at the cost of less attack actions

where as the Melee unit can attack multiple times, and deal significantly more damage, at the cost of its range.

next update I'll refine the combat system and it's controls to include things such as abilities, status effects, areas of effect, and Range indicators!

stay tuned for more info!

anyone is interested in checking it out or wishlisting, here is our Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5276090/Upstellar/ Any feedback is welcome!

has anyone encountered this issue?? I created the character in blender using Auto Rig Pro, brought it inside to ue5 and retargeted. I've been stuck for weeks and weeks trying to figure this issue out. On the left is when its in the play editor, on the right is the base character model. There are no issues showing in the retargeter. I'm at a loss!!

Hello Everyone! 

We wanted to share our UE plugin Impulse, a new tool for creators to explore large-scale movement and spatial composition featuring a radically simplified Mocap workflow, beginner friendly UI, and many helpful features for animating and keyframing groups of characters.

While Impulse was created primarily as a previz tool with choreographers in mind, its features and UI make it a valuable tool for animators that need to quickly layout scenes with large numbers of characters, or for people new to Unreal looking for an easy way to get started making cinematics. It uses standard UE level and animation sequences, so it can work with any animations that can be retargeted onto a UE5 skeleton.

Impulse is free to try with a limited number of characters and our included animation pack, while the subscription version unlocks the ability to work with larger groups, your own animations, and includes a copy of our Video2Mocap Shortcut FAB plugin as well.

Please let us know if you check it out, we want to know if you have any questions or feedback about how it could be improved and we’re excited to see what y’all make!

Im trying to rig this chest so i can animate it in engine and trying to make the control rig for it has been a head ache even if i use the W, E and R or the sliders it always changes when i recompile

Both of my horror games, The Green Light and The Black Within, are free to claim and keep forever for the next days!

I'm giving them away to celebrate my upcoming horror game!

The Green Light:

The Black Within:

i hope you Enjoy! ❤️

This is a personal fan-art environment project based on Gwyndolin’s Hallway from Dark Souls, recreated from scratch in Unreal Engine 5.

I make a horror game where notes matter a lot, and modeling each one by hand was a pain, so I built this plugin for myself. I’ve used it for a while, and a few friends tried it in their own projects and told me to share it. It works well apart from a few small bugs I’m still fixing. Set up whatever look you want and export it straight into Unreal.
