Hmmm, to be fair last update on the news thing was September 2023, but also it's still a substitute for substance painter that makes sense to me!

My main monitor is a fancy shmancy one definitely intended for artists, which of course means the size and resolution of it is weird as fuck. Also my use of an armchair as a deskchair for chronic pain reasons means that I sit farther away. So UI scaling is very important to me.

Okay, I was just making sure I had this on my computer, but kudos to armorpaint for doing the one fucking thing Substance Painter never did: HAVING THE ABILITY TO ADJUST THE UI SCALE.

Got another animation question ( @anim8d.bsky.social / @gameism.bsky.social / etc)

For my glued-to-hand weapon bone, normally I'd put it here in the hand (wrist) and have a weird offset-to-palm baked in the socket.

But that SUCKS the second I wanna do a cool sword spin.

So what if finger mounted?

This is a long shot, but yo #GameDev animators and tech artists, anyone have a good video or guide on how weapon bones interact with IK bones, and how you want to manage their hierarchy (or specifically not put them in a hierarchy)?

Medium 3: Digital Painting in Krita, with focus on cmyk color schemes. The overall theme/message is "corporate conformity = fascism" and each medium has something interesting to bring to the plate with the messaging.

Medium 1: Watercolor on canvas. Sort of a new one to me, so challenging, but also rewarding due to the physicality Medium 2: 3D Scene Within Unreal Engine. I'm opting for Unreal as I'm more familiar with it than I am Godot. Also I get to poke fun at hyperrealism.

I really need help, we've ran out of food again. Bills are also coming down for the internet soon which is the only means I have to make money. Any money would really help, I can also do a commission if you want some art.

Okay, griping about pain aside, I am liking how my brain is doing with a multimedia art series. It's all one theme, based on a couple early sketches, but I'm utilizing at least three different mediums, which keeps the bouncy adhd brain happy.

Having a bit of a chronic pain flare up but also might see how my laptop is doing with some digital art programs to keep working on an art series I've got going. And just might check out the MST3K related thing someone else mentioned...

You want to get midwestern farmers in a lather about Project 2025? Tell them it wants to get rid of NOAA, which means weather forecasting is going to get MUCH less accurate, especially when it comes to sudden storms. Not knowing when to expect adverse weather means losing crops & livestock.

Add on other expenses, and yeah. It helps, I'm stable so long as the waiver lasts, but yeah. Everything is just so expensive now, and credit card interest rates are ridiculous.

Oh so much! In a way I'm technically on a form of UBI in that some disabled people can get a "caretaker living expenses" waiver for their caretaker, so that covers my rent and some food. Then I do hours of caregiving, but also moving brought my credit card to its limit.

Also additional frustration in knowing there's accessibility tools and chairs that could help me work at a desk longer, but it all costs so much money.

Having fibromyalgia, needing a day job to pay rent, but also wanting to get back to doing art and dev sadly means a lot of frustration around wanting to do things, but being unable to do them for long due to flare ups.

... Oh for fuck's sake. I've got 32 gb and while at this point I probably could use at least 64gb, the amount of people who actually have that is too few to make it a requirement for opening a DEV level.

(Also while this project isn't completely ghosted, I did have to use task manager to close Unreal after one of the city sample levels took up all my cpu trying to load sooooo...definitely switching things up for the day.)

That's about it for this thread, but expect more dev threads as I continue to get back in the swing of things.

I've got a ko-fi for tips that would certainly help with some high costs this month!

Oof, yeah. I got excited that it was updated for 5.4, but it seems my dorky little blender buildings that still need to be textured and properly UV'd are still very much needed.

To be fair, this pack may have been intended to show the meshes for procedural set ups, as that's likely what was done, but even with procedural or waveform methods of building cities, you still need to find all necessary assets, and know how they fit together.

(You can also utilize this method to adjust textures and lights for day vs night scenes, as you can start throwing in the nodes to do said switch, but that's bonus)

That's right, blueprints aren't just for code! Right click in the content browser, select blueprint, select asset, then in the blueprint menu, bring in meshes which you can move around and assemble. Then you drag in the blueprint!

Also, as far as this pack goes in usability? Not that great due to having to dig through every single folder. The reference levels take forever to load. Something that I've seen done in some packs, and would have been good here is using a blueprint to assemble buildings.

In general, you want your subfolders to describe what's in them, and avoid using single letters or numbers. Numbers and letters CAN be used for items like "tallwindow_A" as that is implying there are other tall window versions.

This...Isn't clear. This is a bunch of letters not describing anything. I'm sure it made sense to the devs, but to anyone who wasn't a part of that process, it's confusing.

Now, to be clear, if you're solo dev-ing it, then use whatever messy structure you want. Some of my own folder structures are a mess. However, if you making a pack for other people to use then things need to be organized in very clear ways.

Okay, about to call out one of Epic Games's official packs, but I'm digging through the city sample buildings one and seeing a lot of "what not to do" in environments where other people need to use your folder structure.

Yep, #gamedev thread time. 1/?

Thanks! I was definitely prepared for the pushback, then surprised when it was a quick diagnosis. Especially since my mom got the "well you're too flexible to be in pain" so...yeah. Familiar with some of the typical lines.
