UE 5.3 low FPS in editor viewport with a 5950X and RTX 3090 (different sample scenes)
Every example scene I open in the editor seems to be slow. FPS 20-30 and in cinematic mode 10-20 FPS. I have a 16-core 4.3 GHZ CPU and an RTX 3090. I know I can lower the resolution, but even then performance is still not good. Does anyone know what could be the problem? I am using this free… -
New hire comes into your studio -- what skills are they usually missing?
Is there some general things new people struggle with? The same type of stuff you see questions about here and elsewhere online? Baking issues, general workflow questions, lack of software understanding, so on? Or is it more related to lack of game development experience? Struggles to get work done in time. Issues… -
Re: What Are You Working On? (3D) 2025
Working on a FPS in Unreal engine for the past few weeks. My role on this is artist/tech artist/designer/animator/sound/UI and VFX while a friend of mine takes all of my blueprints and cleans them up and writes code. The original plan was to show off a plugin we've developed, but we just went on with making a game. I've… -
Re: How to AAA skill?
Refinement and study, taking breaks and coming back and realizing things might not've been that great, decide to redo them or not, move on most likely till you get it right or become homeless. 1st thoughts you are right there for this piece, just some more loving to them rock crevasses <the linked image is what I'd like to… -
Re: How to automatically paint mesh depend on polygon height or angle? (Unity or 3ds Max)
It sounds like you want a shader that blends based on height and slope. If you stretch the terrain up too high and you get ugly distorted textures you will want to go with a shader that has "triplanar". Max is pretty limited on this front. There is a small chance you could piece something together using the data channel… -
3ds max / Maya - Show window name in minimized mode
Hi guys, I had this issue for ages. You minimize a window in max - No text visible anymore. As soon as I had several windows open, it was a an anoying lottery. I don't know if this is the best solution, but I found a workaround on Autodesk forum yesterday. I just want to share it with you, as I found so many useful stuff… -
Sequoia Meshing Hacksaw 3ds Maxscript Error
Hello everyone, apologies upfront as I lack the programming knowledge to understand the problem I am having. I have been trying to utilize Thinkbox Sequoia Meshing, the program comes with 3ds integration maxscript for loading Seq. .xmesh into 3ds. Code on GITHUB: They have provided a .ms file which I have loaded and run.… -
Re: Recommend me a modelling app
Joopson, if I may ask (and sorry for derailing the thread), could you elaborate on how you feel that the modeling methods in Max and Maya are different ? I keep hearing people mentioning it, but I do not quite understand that statement. Of course if we are talking about overall object operations (like, the very unique and… -
Re: New game project needs efficient and interesting art style
"Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. I am going to brush up on low poly techniques, as that seems to be the main message you're all sending. I hope the tools have evolved from last time I did this." TBH it's really not much about any new tool or technique, but rather about one's bagage and experience when it comes to… -
Re: [3D] How to unwrap spherical Visor so texture doesn't distort?
Have to agree with @Noren , @ZacD , and @pior : both the contiguous unwrap and compound curvature of the shape are contributing to the distortion in a way that's almost unavoidable with a [tiling] texture only approach. Lot's of good advice on how to proceed with different approaches from everyone in this thread. As far as…
