um idk good question

current two largest furniture needs are tv stand and kitchen table but neither seems that box friendly altho like a chest could work for the tv except RIP its useability as a chest

the colour is hosed up a bit once I record it and it's moving a little bit faster than it should. Welp this is how the game intro is going to be and then the island selection

thanks. it's coming together excellently .
it's nice having an idea in my head what I want to achieve, and then with a bit of fuckin around and web searches I basically do it. then get it wrong and fiddle around LOTS and more web searching and THEN maybe it looks good :smugmrgw:

rereading the stuff about particles scattering/tunnelling through a potential barrier and all of a sudden i realize that i now understand transistors

also i was daydreaming and looking out the window at some clouds during the sunset and i noticed it took about 12 minutes after the sun set before the very tops of the clouds weren't illuminated anymore, so i tried figuring out in my head how high they must be. tl;dr it involves trig and i ended up sitting there doing a taylor series in my head; it was tedious (i ended up with an answer of about 12000 feet, which sounds like it's within an order of magnitude of how high you'd expect clouds to be so i'm going to assume i was correct)

it must be old. i fly along with mine. still thinking of going to i7 for those sweet extra threads


tbf apart from compiling i have *nothing* to complain about re: the speed of ue4 on my pc


throw your pc deets out and are you new to all of this or not really? share share share i want someone to chat with about it and pass down the legendary lessons i have learnt in 2 weeks

i built this computer in 2008. core 2 quad, 4gb of ram, geforce 9800. since then i have put in an ssd and upgraded the graphics card once (gtx 660). still kneads my suits. i can stick modern games on it and they still run perfectly fine. newest version of solidworks is a little clunk with big files but completely usable. the amortized cost of the machine has been something like 200 dollars a year.

i kind of want to upgrade, probably would swap out the mobo and processor and keep the same graphics card, but why?

my laptop has 16gb of ram. i'm not sure if it even makes a difference beyond the original 8gb but whatever/lmao. i dont really play "modern" "games" but it works great for solidworks so its fine by me.

I was kinda exaggerating, the only thing thats slow so far is the material editor which takes forever to update and also to apply a material to a model

I'm going through the "3rd person blueprint" video tutorial series (very very slowly due to real life stuff) and having fun so far but I haven't done much

I'm very new to doing any game dev or 3d stuff but not new to programming and I've had a bunch of math because my bs is in electrical engineering so when people start taking math I can at least kinda understand

Pc is an oldass 3 core amd pos, 4gb ram, radeon 6750, and an SSD

I have a laptop with an i7 in it but basically no graphics hw and it gets really, really hot when I run ue4 on it
