🌞 Goooood morning! 📑 Quick tip for #Houdini users landing on #Unreal. When creating HDAs that generate meshes with an existing material in Unreal Editor, always promote the "unreal_material" primitive string attribute to have it editable on the editor. Just right-click the unreal material , select "copy reference" and paste it in the exposed parameter. I'm sure there is a ton of people going back and forth between Unreal and Houdini just to change this kind of value inside the tool instead of promoting the attribute to a string parameter and I realised it could be a great tip to share 💗

Here's my demo on using C++ in Unreal Engine to implement Animalese, the language used by characters in Animal Crossing. Yes, it's using recordings of my voice. No, my voice isn't that high pitched. Anyone wishing to see the code can find it here (https://lnkd.in/gxztSRTg)

Practice in Unreal Engine🚀 I continue to work with the program, this time I chose a reference environment in the style of the post-apocalypse. I always liked this topic - abandoned cities, fascinated by vegetation and animals, as well as zombie, where time stopped at some point, only a trace of human activity remained. I recorded the process of creating a location at the stages of blocking and selecting models, in order to replace simple geometric shapes with realistic models in the future, to expose the camera in the scene. Blocking allows you to quickly compose a scene without loading the system, saves time.

Stop searching for AppendVector for the millionth time. Adding Custom Hotkeys for Nodes in Materials, Unreal Engine (Clamp, StaticSwitchParameter, ParticleColor, etc.): 1. Go to the "Config" folder in the directory where Unreal Engine is installed. Example: UE_5.4\Engine\Config 2. In the "Config" folder, open the BaseEditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini file in a text editor. 3. Search for the section [MaterialEditorSpawnNodes] around line 820. *You can quickly find this by using the search function (usually Ctrl+F). If your text editor doesn't have a function to number lines, I recommend you download Notepad++. 4. Look at the available examples and insert the names of the nodes you need. *Usually, to find the exact names of the nodes, type them in the Material Editor’s search bar. In the line, you just need to replace the node name and the hotkey. Example: +Node=(Class=/Script/Engine.MaterialExpressionEyeAdaptationInverse Key=K Shift=false Ctrl=false Alt=false) 5. Reboot Unreal Engine. After rebooting, you will be able to change the hotkey inside the Unreal Engine settings. You will no longer need to open a text document. Challenges: The names of some complex nodes in the Material Editor search (where I told you to look for names) will not match the required names for the BaseEditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini  To find the correct names for BaseEditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini, I recommend asking ChatGPT.

Stacked view in Unreal Engine's graph editor is an absolute game changer for me. This is visualizing the location (x,y,z) and rotation (roll, pitch, yaw) of a camera that I manually moved around the scene. Values are normalized between -1 and 1 and displayed together.

Using Wwise External Sources in Unreal: A Tutorial A little background - I've spent the last few weeks working on a technical demo using Wwise and Unreal. I wanted to implement Wwise External Sources in a Dialogue system, but I couldn't find any good tutorials! So I taught myself through trial and error - and then made a tutorial myself! I hope this helps some of you! :) Would love to hear any thoughts. https://lnkd.in/eKfrtEDY
