We haven’t seen any games on the latest version of UE with technologies like direct storage but I hope eventually it gets ironed out and we see UE games that run as flawlessly as horizon forbidden west does (in terms of traversal stutter and frametime performance, in which that game does a phenomenal job of for the size of its world especially).

  • @DonC876
    @DonC876 8 месяцев назад +96

    Little but important tip about making normal maps. You should always try to make them more intense than intended in the texture creating process and then in the shader scale the intensity down again. Normal maps are usually stored in images with 8 bit precision per channel, so if you have a very subtle normal map the data precision will not be enough for the transitions between differently angled normals to look good and you will end up with visible discontinuities. In the shader, after sampling the normal map you are usually working with 32bit float or 16bit half precision so at that point there's no precision problem when you try to make the normal map look more subtle again by scaling its intensity.

    • @Robbin_Bob

      this is so god damn genius, why'd I never think to use the whole range of the bits and scale it back in shaders

    • @DonC876
      @DonC876 8 месяцев назад +3

      @@Robbin_Bob Just make sure to use the same or at least a similar scaling algorithm in your texture creation software as in your game engine. And it's a different story if you bake normals from high poly, in that case the best thing you can do is to have great normals in the low poly to begin with (like use face weighted / custom normals) and then you will usually get better results

      Have you tried to use 5.4 my project went from being under the default streaming texture pool in 5.3 and running smoother that my behind to running like shit in 5.4 i had to uninstall it because the streaming pool size was now over budget by like 400MB and the world i have but was like that game Dayz when it first come out in the 60s. Runs like sh*t for me had to revert back to 5.3 i bet the problem is the new sharing capability where people can now both work on the same project from 2 -3-4 pcs at the same time

      @coder5382 8 месяцев назад +2

      ​@@youtubeperson199 I see what you mean, I also had some performance issues when migrating my project to this new version. UE5.4 won't run smoothly now if your project isn't on an SSD. I used to save my projects on an HDD to spare some disk space, but not anymore. It became so sluggish to move in the editor. Unfortunately, I also noticed some FPS drops with this version. I'm not aware of your machine specs, because UE5 is becoming even more demanding on hardware with each new release. If your project wasn't saved on SSD maybe that was the problem, but I do agree with you on FPS drops.

    *Summary*
    This update is huge for game development and animation with features focusing on easing procedural animation and world building. Here are the main takeaways:
    *Animation Overhaul:*
    * *(**0:23**)* *Motion Design Editor:* Like a real-time Cinema 4D built into Unreal. Enables complex procedural animation (cloners, effectors) without waiting for rendering. Combines 2D and 3D graphics seamlessly.
    * *(**2:57**)* *Motion Matching:* Revolutionizes character animation. Replaces complicated state machines with a motion database. Picks the best animation based on context and prediction, leading to smoother, more organic movement.
    * *(N/A)* *Free Motion Capture Animations:* Hundreds provided to enhance motion matching databases and improve character movement fidelity.
    * *(**10:19**)* *Animatable Characters:* Easier rigging with modular control rigs (no programming needed!). New auto-retargeter allows animation transfer between characters. Improved sequencer (timeline) for smoother workflows.
    *World Building Powerhouse:*
    * *(**5:49**)* *Biome Generator:* Builds upon the existing Procedural Content Generation (PCG) system. Create vast, varied, and unique open worlds with different biomes (forests, deserts, etc.) generated automatically.
    *Enhanced Visuals and Performance:*
    * *(**8:23**)* *Texture Graph:* Create textures and materials directly within Unreal, similar to Substance Designer. Enables procedural texture generation and opens up new possibilities for material creation.
    * *(**11:45**)* *Performance Boost:* Up to 25% faster GPU, 50% faster render thread. Hardware ray tracing is twice as fast in some cases, targeting a smooth 60fps.
    *Overall:*
    Unreal Engine 5.4 is a major update pushing the boundaries of real-time animation and world-building. These features benefit both indie and AAA developers, making high-quality game creation more accessible than ever.

I was thinking Unity, but there's been a lot of controversy around that. Could Unreal Engine be the place to go for more indie style developers with these updates?

I have been going through alot of growing pains switching or adding unreal to my roster, a lot of things are assumed when you come from another 3D / Render package. Unreal is very different from the ground up. I would love to see a small video on what the major differences are, and what the new motion tools and provide. I know they are in dev, but they are still strong!
