Re: Unreal Engine 4
Ditto, this is what I'm curious about as well. I watched hourences' video and saw the other top down game somebody internal made in their free time but is it really possible to make a finished game without it or is it more of a prototype builder like most node based programming things I've used? I'll probably just have to… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
I think the change to full C++ coding does quite make sense, isn't C++ the industry standard (or at least was)? I know recently it's starting to change but I guess nearly all coders in the gaming industry have some experience with it. -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
well, the choice to use a 3rd party engine comes down to cost. if it costs them less in terms of both dev time and financial investment to use a third party, of course they're going to. and since now they can just pay $20 per person in their studio ONCE, and build everything they need/want with that version (bearing in… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
Yup. So you either use Kismet or code in C++. Also their blueprint system is a great idea...being able to have kismet on individual objects (another similarity to Unity) Speaking of which, I couldn't resist: Of course I fiddled with the Unity UI to make it more closely match the UE4 interface...and the node editor is an… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
Awesome. Thanks for linking that. There's a part he kinda glossed over though. I wonder if anyone here knows how it works. When it comes to Network Relevancy, he just kinda glossed it over, but really the engine seems to handle that automatically based on various criteria. Distance, line-of-sight, etc. Is it possible to… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
Ok. What is industruy standard when it come to >>gameplay<< programming ? Lua, Python, C#, Java, Perl ? Guys. You should realize that language itself is mererly a bunch of words that have meaning defined by compiler. What makes or don't languague approperiate for coding gameplay is framework around it. In this case UE4… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
wow... i went nuts looking at the dynamic lit particles, with smaller incandecent props lighting parts of it... hehe i chuckled at the lens flares. In editor in real time... i bet my computer will die if it tries to run that haha. I talked to a friend here of the code components and how much better of a pipeline, they can… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
It also eleminate all forms of indirect lighting. Like reflections,indirect shadowing and global illumination. You are tight... and not right at the same time. The compile times for 3 lines of code might seem long. But on other hand my project with several thousand lines of code compiled about 30 seconds. System is setup… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
I tried. I say you this much. Don't even bother. As one of renderer coders told me they realize that foliage need special lighting mode, and they planing to add it. Before that, no matter what you will try, your foliage will: 1. Look good, untill you change lighting in level. 2. Look bad regardless of lighting in level. 3.… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
People have found the source code for it within the UE4 code though, and it looks like they're (they = public programmers, not epic) trying to get it back in for PC devs.
