Interesting, Brickadia now uses the excellent VoxelCore Plugin by @phyronnaz.bsky.social for drawing debug markers. It's a LOT faster than Unreal's own debug drawing feature. In the shown example it increases the framerate from around 1 fps to 136(!)

My Unreal Fest Bali talk is live on youtube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xilL... If you don't wanna sit through the entire talk, here's a PDF version: victorcareil.com/unreal-fest-...

Here we go! Let me know if you want to meet in Stockholm!

Looking forward to seeing some of y’all!

I got tired of Unreal's debug drawing performance, so I made my own system today. Drawing +50M points just works now :) If you want to use it: github.com/VoxelPlugin/...

We've made Property History free & open source! You can use it to quickly see the history of any property in Unreal github.com/VoxelPlugin/...

This is really cool :)

I’m in London all week if anyone wants to meet up!

The new Nanite Foliage Voxel representation is an absolute game changer for distant environments, density preservation is pretty much perfect. 5 min test scene i whipped up here. ~1 million 20 million poly trees scattered with PCG #UE5 #UnrealEngine #GameDev #EnvironmentArt #RealTime

Cinematic Chips is now live on FAB, 155 High Poly Nanite Chips & Fries assets for Unreal Engine that look mighty fine (salt not included). Best results use Path Tracing with Substrate enabled for some great SSS, but they also work in raster. fab.com/s/476daa2beed8 #UnrealEngine #UE5 #GameDev

Got my ticket for Unreal Fest Stockholm! Who's coming?

been dying for a feature like this ever since i was on the sims and our custom editor let you see who last edited any field. this is a must have in any project imo

My plugin for #UnrealEngine is almost done! It lets you blend any mesh. Not just landscape, not PDO. This magic lets you blend anything!🤯 #GameArt #UE5 #GameDev

The slides from my Unreal Fest talk are now online! victorcareil.com/unreal-fest-...

I’m at GameCamp this week, anyone else going?

Just another talk from @flassari.bsky.social at Unreal Fest

Voxel Plugin 2 Preview 7 now fully supports 5.6! Find out how to install it here: docs.voxelplugin.com/getting-star...

How to make a cave in Voxel Plugin under 2 min If you are in Orlando I can do live demos!

Lots of really great talks this year - you should come if you can!

My talk “Lessons From a Plugin Developer: How to Extend UE When You’re Not Epic” has been accepted at Unreal Fest Bali! This is the first time I'm doing a public talk like this - should be fun :)

See you soon!

This is huge

Goodbye San Francisco! GDC was a blast. I met so many amazing & brilliant people. Next up is Unreal Fest Orlando, and then maybe Bali. Let me know if you’re planning to be there!

If you are using Visual Studio with Resharper or another tool replacing Intellisense: Setting 'Disable Intellisense' to True is _not_ enough, you also need to set 'Disable Database' to True This made VS sooooo much faster for me 😅

I’ll be at GDC in March, ping me if you’d like to meet!

Since I've included it in a bunch of my past talks: For anyone wondering what happened to r.Nanite.ShowMeshDrawEvents in #UnrealEngine 5.5, we consolidated Nanite and non-Nanite under r.ShowMaterialDrawEvents. #UETips

A 🧵 on Bindless Textures in UE5! In UE5.5, bindless textures seem to be non-experimental. But they're still disabled by default, and entirely undocumented. Enabling them should, in most cases, be a performance gain. Doing so will also let you 'bypass' the limits on unique SRV and samplers. 1/x

I'm off work, so obviously that means it's time to work on my own #techart stuff! Having fun playing with seasons, trying really hard to make it work without needing extra assets for the different seasons. If the project lives, it'll be a survival game in-between Subnautica and The Long Dark 👀

I've made a Starter Pack for UE devs that give great tips that are helpful online. Know anyone that should be on it? Let me know!

Unreal 5.5 has a LOT of great additions for profiling, performance and optimization. I've compiled a list of the most interesting changes, with some commentary. www.tomlooman.com/unreal-engin... These awesome features and improvements will be included in my Game Optimization Course asap!

MegaLights release took me a bit by surprise. It was just a small prototype on a backburner, not planned to be showcased in UE 5.5. Now trying to catch up after the demo push, starting from writing the official docs which just went online: dev.epicgames.com/documentatio...

In addition to sculpting, Voxel Plugin 2 will have a fully non-destructive stamp-based workflow In other words: you'll be able to use any mesh you want to shape the terrain, and if you need to move them 6 months later, you can! Here I'm making a simple cave with 3 meshes

Voxel Plugin 2 will support runtime nanite & nanite tessellation. You'll be able to paint any material, anywhere. Coming early next year!
