I wont go back to Unreal even if you pay me, it's a giant mess, everything is fucking complicated, anything take months to figure out, interface is still the same fucking mess.
Light:
Unreal: Just place sun, skybox, atmosphere, skylight, and this and that, and just spend 3 days (I'm generous) figuring out how the fuck this fucking mess of light system work.
Unigine: Open the scene.
Cloud:
Unreal: Just spend 3 weeks making spaghetti code that give you ugly, optimized cloud. B_but you can buy it on the store for only 50$
Unigine: Place the cloud.
Terrain:
Unreal: Just use this nonsense resolution, just waste your time trying to figure out how to import and configure everything. Want the change anything, like size ? Just go trough the whole process.
Deform Terrain at runtime?
Unigine: Import your terrain.
Terrain Material:
Unreal: Just spend 3 fucking months trying to make a descent terrain material with spaghetti blueprint, want tessellation? Triplanar? that's another 3 month sir.
Unigine: Create the material.
Impostors:
Unreal: Just compile from source something that only produce good result for cartoon mesh, and you probably can't use UE5, sorry not yet compatible sir, use fucking billboards.
Unigine: Press "create the impostor".
Materials:
Unreal: Just go trough these fucking spaghetti bp to create any fucking material, no consistence between materials because you have to create everything yourself resulting in a giant mess.
Unigine: Use material library.
Vehicle:
Unreal: What? Vehicle? Sir, this is a hardcore fps engine, we don't make vehicle, use our 10 years old, crappy system, that work only for 4 wheels.
Unigine: Use wheel joint.
B_but you can buy it on the store for only 50$, 50X7 = already spend 350$ for basic stuffs that come for free in Unigine (with Unigine support, mean you can access it in the API).
It is OK if you have a team of at least 10 people, otherwise you just simp for Unreal, buying shit on their store, then pretending you're a game dev.

I'd almost meme with "based unigine retard getting filtered by ue", but you're right. Unigine seems comfy from what I've seen playing with it. But I already learned unreal the hard way and Nanite and Lumen are great now, so there's no way I'll switch. Not to mention all the job opportunities, people who know how to work with UE are sought after all the time. I also have a lot of time developing games in Unity, but I still hate its art pipeline so I kinda gave up on it as well, at least until maybe I decide to make some game again.

You're the massive faggot friend. You complain about spaghetti material nodes and yet Unigine implemented it too due to user requests. You don't need spaghetti code for any material, you create one master material for every type of asset (not for every asset), you turn your texture inputs into parameters, you create an instance and voilà, you have your brainlet material in which you can drag and drop your textures.

Can you not just use different models for the feet that are higher poly based on if there's a scene that has them as the focus or something like that?

You hide the higher poly version that might have shit like rigged toes as well when in normal gameplay, you hide the low poly version and unhide the high poly one when in scenes where the character is bathing for example and the feet might be a primary focus, for whoever decides to focus on them I guess, so you can just have shit like idle animations for the character where the toes have some motion to them as well while they bathe.

Lolwut? I mean, I was going to parent a nanite mesh for shoes anyway since resolution is also a concern, but this isn't what I'm asking about. Generally speaking, animations are unaware of the environment and jumpy when actors switch states/animations freely, and this becomes painfully obvious in certain close-up shots. I'm interested in using IK to adjust the movement of feet and hands to conform to the environment, as well as use state or tweening to prevent limbs whipping around on sudden movements.

Shit, you meant the IK stuff, making them react to environment and all that. Thought you meant it literally as in, the resolution of the feet or whatever because I saw some threads a while ago complaining about feet looking too low poly in games or something like that.

No worries. It's a good idea, especially if one can figure out how to switch out limb LODs dynamically without suffering from gaps on the joints - you'd need to stitch new tris dynamically and that's well beyond my current ability.
>complaining about feet looking too low poly in games or something like that.
Definitely a pet peeve of mine for a lot of 3D models, but feet are fucking difficult to do well when you think about it. All the detail comes from the skin bunching up so you either need to pull out more blendshapes or use strain maps to fake it. Since only footfags usually care -and care enough to shell out- it gets overlooked. Same with hands and mouths beyond the minimum. Thankfully my project can get away with dressed-up metahumans. I just need to animate them with a bigger focus on smooth limb positioning and movement.

Used to be a one line change in some files, but that was too simple so Epic went and fucked it. For a global change, that is, if you want a specific material to use another BRDF it's a bit more complicated.

sorry if i'm misunderstanding you but do i need to make a global change and then change each material individually? I've been messing around with the BRDF but i couldn't get any results.

Anonymous at Sat, 16 Apr 2022 23:50:52 UTC No. 892223

You used to be able to do both, changing the global diffuse (or other) BRDF used to be a very simple change in the shader files, now as far as I know it's a lot more work (I haven't actually done it since so I don't know the procedure).

You can also create your own "setting" so it can be set per material much like you would pick opaque or translucent, I don't think that has changed at all but I've never done it myself. It's some work but there are tutorials on it out there as far as I know.

If you want to know how to do it, probably best to hit the unreal slackers discord and ask in the right channel, or try your luck on the forums if you aren't in a hurry.

Why use UE5 when you can use Blender and Eevee? Unreal weights like 50gb, Blender only about 500 mb. Plus, Blender has a cloth brush, it's not included in UE5's modeling tools I think.

Eevee is instant. It can also handle much higher polycounts than Lumen.

Offline DCCs tend to struggle with massively sized scenes. Many times they need to rely on composited 2D matte paintings for the background instead of being able to use actual geometry. But not Unreal.

Eevee does not have a suitable real-time GI solution. Apparently Eevee is currently undergoing a rewrite so hopefully that will change in the future.

Apparently Epic has ZERO interest in improving metahuman to making it be better to actually resemble real faces outside of the trained dataset. Your reaction?

they dont even try to have the neccessary sliders to finely control nose shape and other shapes and moles, etc, not to mention terrible eyebrow and hair controls. Its a complete shitshow.

One thing I want to know if if Blender has any AI features that can be utilized?

Suppose I want to render a large city scene where there are a bunch of cars and many pedestrians walking in the background. I want some people at a crosswalk and maybe a few jaywalking across the street. Some people walk faster, others walk slower. Some people choose park their cars next to the sidewalk and get out and start walking while other pedestrians get in their cars and drive off.

Or perhaps a large-scale warfare scene with a crapton of soldiers, attack helicopters, fighter jets and artillery support all raining hell on each other.

Would it be possible to automate anything like those in Blender?

I made a forest scene in UE5 and holy shit, it looks just as shitty and muddy as UE4. I don't understand why people worship this engine so much. Not only does it look like crap but it performs worse than any other AAA engine out there.

It's this shitty plastic specular look to it. The Lambert shader. If only we could remove that.
>>892377
I enabled that but it barely made any difference. Like none at all it still looks like plastic and cartoony. Did I miss something?

I also switched from Lambert to Chan, and the Chan shader also looks like fucking shit. I'm switching to Unigine, it looks and perform much better than Unreal Oily plastic 5 despite still being last gen kek.

I think he's confusing a diffuse model and a specular model. The specular model is laid on top of the diffuse model, so Blinn generally describes a lambertian shading (diffuse) with a Blinn specular (highlight) on top. The Metal Gear Solid V engine used the Oren-Nayar diffuse model instead of lambert, which gives things a duller, more rough appearance.
