Yeah so Epic really doesn't care... them killing megascans and dumping everything on fab where every asset I have imported in there is in an unusable state is acceptable to them. Systems are perpetually in experimental and the editor crashes nonstop with new bugs each release. Shit sucks.
Both Blueprints AND C++ Gameplay Framework being removed from Unreal Engine??

This is Derek any time I play a game with really good rocks. 🤣 (or for the opposite response, when they’re Megascans rocks and he can TELL)

I would have never found a lot of the free assets that are available on booth such as Silent's shaders, Quixel Megascans, Freesound, etc.
Puzzle creators can obfuscate relevant sources until the end if worried about mechanical spoilers. ex. "Calamity" By JustTemTem does this in a really fun way.

ずっとUE想定でいろいろ開発しようとしてたけどずっと無料だったMegascansアセットの有料化とコーディング必要ないBlueprint廃止の流れがあって強み全部消えそうだから、Unityでの開発想定で行こうかなと最近思っている
コードと一部背景アセットまわりをAI活用しようと思ってるからなおさらUE使う理由なくなる
業務でUnity使うからある程度知識もあるし

I hate it when I can recognize it exactly which pack stuff came from. I was streaming Alan Wake 2 to a friend and I found one of the megascans pallets in one of the areas and I was like, hold on a minute, I recognize this, I've used this same asset

idk man maybe im just tired lul. this games rly good sometimes, but other times you'll see messily cobbled together rocks in mud where each asset looks like its from a different game, with obvious megascans assets contrasting harshly w in-houses models or some other asset pack for all i know.

Started Control Resonant and it's funny that I haven't seen anyone [among those in the know] mention that it seems to harbor unused live-service elements.
You don't build a Nakama server for a game unless there are some online features coming.
Expeditions 2 maybe?

you’d be surprised how many very-experienced devs wrongly think this
even with megascans, metahuman, and whateverbullshit, high fidelity graphics still take like 20x the work
they are a fucking nightmare

“It’s actually way easier to make AAA realistic graphics than it is to make retro low poly visuals” no it isn’t. That’s not true

i think what they mean is its easier for devs to download a pack of unoptimized quixels megascans assets so that your game looks like every other AAA game and simultaneously runs like doggie poo ..instead of learning how to make your own stuff, in your own style, thats optimized for your experience

i was just being cheeky i dont think thats what they actually mean, but that is what some games do and id rather have a cruder artstyle and world that was handcrafted, than see the same quixel megascans rock ive seen in like 10 other games

The dinosaur is my own "Crooked Rex" model that you'll have seen a lot if you follow me. I assembled the environment and human character from Daz, Poly Haven, Megascans, & Fab marketplace assets, as well as trial and error with different snow mesh generators and particle setups.

All assets were either Megascans, Handmade Sculpts, Speedtree Folliage. Terrain was done completely by hand to give each area a specific feeling which I used my terrain PCG tools to give me some starting elevation to carve out. Zero AI was involved

🧵(1/3) Extremely proud of this world commission I finished in July for @strasz.bsky.social
Everything was fully scratch modeled, and textured excluding the potted foliage being assembled from Quixel Megascans.
This is what human art made with care and passion looks like, support artists!

I searched Fab for Quixel Megascans assets and started selecting ruined walls, stone pieces, and rocks that I can combine through kit bashing. My next step is to bring these assets into Unreal Engine and start blocking out the environment.

Slap an existing albedo and normal map on a low poly asset and that was good enough, but it doesn’t really work now next to megascans

It’s still pretty inconsistent how realistic any given asset looks
There's some rock facades in the goron area that borderline look like megascans and then there'll be dungeon rooms with much simpler geo and much more stylized materials

I am a little sad to see people immediately go onto the "It looks like bad unreal engine" when I've come to associate unreal engine with megascans, blurry framegen, metahumans, bad particle effects etc. The "Nintendo hired this man" thing seems a bit forced
