You nailed what I've been saying about Unity vs. Unreal for years, and why I like Unity. The metaphor that I use is that working with Unity is like working with clay. You start with nothing and you just add pieces and add pieces and tweak them until you get what you want. Unreal feels more like stone carving to me. You start with a AAA FPS game, and you have to spend time chipping stuff away until you get what you want. For me, the Unity paradigm just fits with my brain better. Unreal gives me massive mental blocks.
Unreal is impossible to do anything significant as a solo dev. It's super difficult. making a large indie game in unreal is like carving an entire big ass statue alone
As a dev who has built tools it's really hard to change an architecture built around a single thread to be multithreaded which is what you are asking for. I am not defending Unity or any other big company they all need to get their heads out of their assess and recognize that the software isn't good enough. But it is way easier said than done. If you want an example of what I mean. To make the open-source graphic drivers OpenGL multithreaded they had to write an entirely new driver called Vulkan. (They had other motivators, but a key one was modernizing the logic flow which includes making it multithreaded)

love the audio channel delay and swapping at random from a rendering error, never change it it makes me feel like im going insane which works well sincce actually understand the anger towards the stupid technical bullshit
Listening to this on headphones was an experience, very cool episode tho I love me some technical jargon Next episode you should put one of you only on right and to other on left audio would be funny i think
I have been an unreal dev but when I heard unity f-ed over its devs that hard I legitimately had people I had to reach out to make sure they are okay. The people who deserved to get fired actually got fried this time and that is so huge.
I'll give you an upvote, but Godot is so behind when it comes to 3D. It's good for 2D games though. Even then, most people will never hit the revenue caps for Unity. Like 95% of developers. So you can get a better engine for free
@@keith819I kinda like how Spartan Godot is. I wouldn't say that having more built in features inherently makes an engine better cause Unreal has even more features than Unity and there are plenty of people that prefer Unity to Unreal.
15:07 thats why people talked about using cs 6 or cs 4 back in the day and never updating past that because they would just add useless shit no one wanted and it would slow everything down for no good reason
9:56 "...If that takes ten minutes -- it doesn't take ten minutes..." I've had Unity take 10 minutes to import changes to a script. Enter a game jam and have the editor running for 12 hours and it will start to take 10 minutes to import every change. Restarting the editor cut it back down to the 10 second halt to my progress I was used to but it _can_ get to 10 minutes of waiting if you use the program for long enough in one sitting.
I switched to godot after unity announced their shit two years ago and instantly remembered what unity was like in its glory days. People say godot is missing this feature or that feature but they forget that every engine started out with less features than it has now. Remembering that unity didn't have the features way back when I started using it, helped me realize that I love working in Godot and I don't think I'm coming back to unity. Its good to know they've stopped digging their own grave though.
Not sure if you are aware, but if you use the Black Magic Proxy Generator outside of your DaVinci instance, you *should* be able to do proxies in the background while working on other elements of your project (creating LUT's using stills, fairlight flows, etc).
11:10 I got so sick of it, I decided to use write a Powershell script leveraging FFMPEG to render proxies for a given file or folder. The decoding, scaling, and encoding are all GPU accelerated thanks to the additions of Vulkan-powered decoding and filtering (I'm loving the Placebo filter) as well as the GPU encoders AMF, NVENC, and VAAPI. Processing one 50mib/s 2560x1440@60fps video at a time down to 1mib/s 640x360@60fps maxes out my RTX 3080m's 3D processing cores. Its video decoding and encoding cores still have headroom, but most of the GPU workload is downscaling video as fast as possible. As for how long it takes...lets just say it takes a fraction of the time it takes Adobe's media tool to do the same thing.
hey, y'all mentioned the fast and the furious in the last episode and i'm up to F9 already it's actually so good i wish it got more respect- there's a lot of noticeable heart and passion it's like blockbusters but they care. also it's straight up cool as hell, going to space was both awesome and *narratively it made sense* which is just, so cool. also if y'all like f&f and racing games i'd really recommend the game Inertial Drift, it's got twin stick driving.
i played some inertial drift, the driving controls feel like youre backseating someone's gameplay over a discord call with a damaged gamepad limited to 15° in any direction
@rav3nston3 the drifting felt like backseating your friend over a recording of a discord call while they were playing with a dpad, high sensitivity with a good chunk of delay, it felt like no control and no other option. in short, not my cuppa tea.
@@johannesviljoen9656 huh, that's not my experience with it at all, kinda weird but i won't argue with you if you tried it and couldn't get it to agree with you (my experience is closer to like, typical racing game drifting with more nuance, getting different drifting angles via releasing the gas, pressing the brake, or Both feels really natural to me. i can't even really think of a good comparison because it just felt like any other game, the left stick felt like a typical car sim- clunky, slow, impossible to make any turns with, which is intentional- and the right stick was drift or nothin'- rowdy but with enough nuance that i felt in control-, a gimmick that comes together to make a unique experience like, every other game with a gimmick, it'd fit right in on the wii if it had motion controls. i even played it for the first time *via remote play* and it went extremely smoothly which makes your comments of it feeling unresponsive or like watching a stream really ironic from my perspective, guess it just meshed well with my pre-existing muscle memory and didn't with yours, as is the way with games)
Blender video sequencer generates proxies in the background, fun little fact. I don't think this is a comment that will get anyone to switch to the brand of CBT I prefer but hey, it generates proxies in the background, and I didn't know other software didn't.
I used to be a game dev (as a job, but also as a hobby) and one of the things that has pushed me away is everything in unity being so slow. i would love to use godot or unreal, after using unity for 10 years it can be hard to switch
Hard agree with Sam on the merits of Unity's development flow. For me it's the perfect level of abstract, I don't want to be using 'pawns' and 'actors', I need a way to structure hierarchies and set up a flexible system.
10:48 The even funnier part is that you can create proxies whilst already editing in davinci by using the blackmagic proxy generator, BUT, you can't select files, instead you select a WHOLE FOLDER to export, AND, you can't pick where the files go.
it's probably because I've never needed to change render pipelines but honestly, the only new feature I can think of unity adding in the last 10 years that I've ever used was the input profile manager and even that's hidden behind like 5 menus and a restart. everything else has been spinning wheels and downgrades.
12:40 Yeah, you can restrict editing programs to use a certain number of threads with Task Manager. With DaVinci running, open TM and find it in the processes. Right click > Go to Details > right click > Set Affinity. By default, all cores are selected every time you open a program, and you can unselect however many threads you want. Note that this goes by thread count, not core count so you'll see twice as many threads than cores on multithreaded processors. This will, of course, tank your performance and make it take longer to generate and render, but at least your entire system won't be totally indisposed.
We're in a time when anyone can make anything with free tools... Next up on the list is Adobe, it will take a miracle but this was once considered the same.
audio editing is actually even more precise; if a single sample (waveform sample not audio file) is missing even a layperson will notice an audible pop
I really liked the configurable pipeline. I had plans for using it, as far-fetched as they were. Sure, the approach could have been better. Definitely shaders being tied to a single pipeline aren't fun, specially with INFINITE PIPELINES in offer.
Part of why flash ran slower later on, if I had to guess, is that it was hella insecure and the security patches they could apply would necessarily slow things down. They eventually dropped flash because they couldn’t make it safe without breaking it.
The false dichotomy between Unity and UE is a bit frustrating. There are other engines out there. Flax is basically both UE and Unity in it's core design and something that more devs should check out.
the random like audio channel swapping is insane what is wrong with you. i love this podcast
oh yeah uhhhhh yea we meant to do that. that wasnt a rendering error thats normal

Blender video sequencer generates proxies in the background, fun little fact. I don't think this is a comment that will get anyone to switch to the brand of CBT I prefer but hey, it generates proxies in the background, and I didn't know other software didn't.
wtf
this was hilarious and incredibly relatable in every level, i'm so glad i found this
I used to be a game dev (as a job, but also as a hobby) and one of the things that has pushed me away is everything in unity being so slow. i would love to use godot or unreal, after using unity for 10 years it can be hard to switch
Putting OBS into unity for a game is such a gangster move
Hard agree with Sam on the merits of Unity's development flow. For me it's the perfect level of abstract, I don't want to be using 'pawns' and 'actors', I need a way to structure hierarchies and set up a flexible system.
10:48 The even funnier part is that you can create proxies whilst already editing in davinci by using the blackmagic proxy generator, BUT, you can't select files, instead you select a WHOLE FOLDER to export, AND, you can't pick where the files go.
it's probably because I've never needed to change render pipelines but honestly, the only new feature I can think of unity adding in the last 10 years that I've ever used was the input profile manager and even that's hidden behind like 5 menus and a restart. everything else has been spinning wheels and downgrades.
I haven't seen a corporate team do this dramatic of a flip since the sonic movie
that spotify example is pretty much what happened to the amazon music app over the last decade.

I am a scientific programmer but have similar negative experiences in software and listening to you guys is such a stress relief.
The coder guy sounds like john benjamin when hes sad

Yeah, you can restrict editing programs to use a certain number of threads with Task Manager. With DaVinci running, open TM and find it in the processes. Right click > Go to Details > right click > Set Affinity. By default, all cores are selected every time you open a program, and you can unselect however many threads you want. Note that this goes by thread count, not core count so you'll see twice as many threads than cores on multithreaded processors. This will, of course, tank your performance and make it take longer to generate and render, but at least your entire system won't be totally indisposed.
I think they’re talking about the program itself being unusable as opposed to the entire computer. This is good advice for the latter though
We're in a time when anyone can make anything with free tools... Next up on the list is Adobe, it will take a miracle but this was once considered the same.
The youtube gods granted me this goodness, and now i shall listen to the rest while eating food.
Dan this is a youtube comment
In the meantime, just use ffmpeg to create proxy media and batch, bash, powershell, Python, whatever scripting language to do it in batch
Get Big Buck Bunny on the Podcast
audio editing is actually even more precise; if a single sample (waveform sample not audio file) is missing even a layperson will notice an audible pop
I did not know this show existed before today.
I am happy today. Praise Dan 🙏
he's in my room isnt he
If you want devs to come back protect them legally from your future malice.
25% of staff layed off...
this is really, really cathartic to listen to someone complain about the same piece of software that you've been complaining about for so long
love this podcast, can you mention any sources for this information? i cant find any articles about it
Sees the title: Uh oh
Listens to the video: OH NEVERMIND THIS IS GREAT!!!! Good job for Unity!
THANKS DAN
14:29 I know the feeling, pal. Casey Muratori and Jonathan Blow have whole lectures on this one phenomenon.
Congratulations Dan! unsubscribed.
Viktor Orban looking ahh CEO
I really liked the configurable pipeline. I had plans for using it, as far-fetched as they were.
Sure, the approach could have been better. Definitely shaders being tied to a single pipeline aren't fun, specially with INFINITE PIPELINES in offer.
You really just pulled 'a branch cannot fall from a tree without first, a crack' out of nowhere huh
omg i just discovered you guys, this is awesome
"allegations of positive conduct" is an alltimer
I hate premiere so much
Davinci has an external proxy generator outside of the software but yea it's still gonna use 100% of your cpu when it can
did you make that intro in bosca ceoil?
Thanks. Dan.
Part of why flash ran slower later on, if I had to guess, is that it was hella insecure and the security patches they could apply would necessarily slow things down. They eventually dropped flash because they couldn’t make it safe without breaking it.
Great job Dan
You wrote your own encoder? Was there a licensing issue embedding FFMpeg like everyone else?
The damage they did was so bad, it's going to be hard to win back public perception which is already fickle to begin with.
Perfect episode to have a rendering mistake lmfao
The false dichotomy between Unity and UE is a bit frustrating. There are other engines out there. Flax is basically both UE and Unity in it's core design and something that more devs should check out.
God, flash used to be so good. It was my introduction to art AND animation.
welp I guess I'm gonna make my game in unreal then
cool guy dan, good on ya
