Ok, Sci-Fi. Wake it up and let it walk. Finally I decided to do it, drones that will have different functions, the first ones are simple. And for this the doors need to have mechanisms for them. It's like a dog door. Also these little ones will be a part of the puzzle gameplay

I just spent way too much time trying to figure if releasing an RHIResource in #UnrealEngine would immediately free the corresponding GPU resource.

I am still not 100% certain, but it seems like the two RHI implementations I looked at both make sure to keep the GPU resources around until the GPU has finished rendering the frame.

In D3D12RHI for instance, the GPU resources are only freed once the corresponding FrameFence is completed, in FD3D12PoolAllocator::CleanUpAllocations().

I have been trying to recreate a Boids system, and I know they are plenty of open source and plugins available. For the type of project I have it needs to be customized, hence me creating one from scratch. A bit older video and a great explanation of the three rules of Boids. #unreal #gamedev #unrealengine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqtqltqcQhw

GPU Skinning in #UnrealEngine immediately allocates vertex buffers for all LODs when using morphs.

Today I learned, that it is actually rather easy to allocate those buffers lazily (by modifying FSkeletalMeshObjectGPUSkin::InitMorphResources()). That way, skeletal mesh components that never take a big amount of screenspace can save a bit of VRAM.

We might be able to benefit form this in one of our projects, as many characters are never close to the camera.

There are a ton of bundles and asset giveaways for #gamedev including #UnrealEngine, #GodotEngine, #Unity3d and even #Defold going on right now.

We gathered them all together into a single place.

Sharing again for other plugin developers who want a robust system for version-gating UE C++ code. Nicer than the built-in macros, works around limitations in UHT, and even comes with a TObjectPtr converter for bridging the UE4 gap!

I asked myself the Unreal Engine question, is it possible to create a Spline from Cable Component points? Easy peasy lemon squeezy. A static mesh from a spline component, and a spline from a cable component. What next?
