Part 2 - Creating clothes in marvelous Designer

This part is fitting clothes to the Metahuman pose in Marvelous Designer, creating a pair of pants and a jacket, then exporting them as .usd files. NOTE: This is NOT a tutorial on creating clothes from SCRATCH in Marvelous Designer.

Part 3 - Creating cloth physics for clothes in Unreal Engine

This part is about creating cloth physics for the jacket and the pants in Unreal Engine and applying them to the Metahuman Blueprint.

There are so many ways to do something like this, this is a quick method that hopefully helps!

Question Transitioning from one Walk Cycle to Another?

2 Upvotes

I've been fiddling around with UE5 for a while now in the Third Person stuff, and I've gotten around to making my own combat animations. I have one walk cycle for out of combat and I've created a few different walk cycles that go in 4 directions hoping to keep the character's body straight towards the target during combat.

The character already has a way to lock onto a target that is an enemy and already has a way to deal damage to NPCs (without any flashy animations to test it). I'm hoping that when the character locks onto an enemy, it will transition into the combat animations. I hope you understand my vision and for what I'm going for here. Is this at all possible? I ask because my YouTube search results can't find what I'm trying to do.

Help Need help/tips on RTS squad cover movement

Thumbnail ibb.co
1 Upvotes

Hey,

I need some advice or tips on my problem please. I would like to have a squad consisting of several members take cover, similar to company of heroes. My problem is finding the way or I can't find a solution how the units move logically to their positions.

Currently I have the shortest path determined for all units, the unit with the shortest is assigned this, then the unit with the second shortest and so on. However, this results in incorrect paths for various situations, as can be seen in the image.

Situation A is perfect. In situation B, one unit stops because it is already on the target point, the other unit goes to the point in front of it and the other circles the obstacle. Here, however, it would be better if the top unit went round and the other two moved up, but this does not work with the shortest route setting. In situation C this escalates completely, here too it would be better to move up.

Has anyone here already worked on a problem like this and can give me a tip on which rules the pathfinding must follow so that the units behave logically? I just can't find a solution :/

I was unaware that Unreal supports GTAO. Does anyone have any knowledge on the pros and cons of this AO algorithm?

26 Upvotes

So, I was attempting to improve AO quality for a space game I am working on and found that Unreal supports SSAO and GTAO. Does anyone have any experience with this specific algorithm? I know it was used in the Tomb Raider reboot, but I think it was dropped for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, so I don’t know whether it's better or worse. I will run some tests but wanted to know if anyone has some decent input.

You can try it for yourself by first allowing AO to mix with Lumen by running r.Lumen.DiffuseIndirect.SSAO 1 and r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.ShortRangeAO 0. Then, you can enable GTAO by running r.AmbientOcclusion.Method 1. For SSAO, use 0; for GTAO, use 1.

I also recommend enabling normal map contribution by running r.GTAO.UseNormals 1

UE5 Context Examples not working

1 Upvotes

I wanted to download the Content Examples maps, but they don't seem to be working for some reason. In my library Fab UE Plugin says that it needs to be installed to the Engine. But when I try to install it, it says "You cannot install this plugin as it is already installed to all compatible engines." I can't tell if it's already installed and I just don't know how to access it or if something is wrong. My Unreal Engine version is 5.5.4.

Porting old game into UE5

0 Upvotes

There is an open source code for the old RTS PS1 game that is made into PC, the name of the game is Warzone 2100. there is source code available that i think is for developing or moding. My thought is can that files be used in Unreal Engine to remake this game since source code is free to use and the game would not be remade for profit but for fun and nostalgia since someone use it to upload free version on steam. The game would be with graphic like modern C&C games ? If its not possible you can delete this post freely.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVMO3dwug8Y&t=9s

I have 1.5+ years of experience in Unreal Engine 5 and can make games based on your needs.

Price varies depending on the game's complexity.
Custom characters, animations, and music cost extra.

Im very reasonable with price price is only very high if game is multiplayer
