Proud is a big word, this neat work tho!
This WAS All Nanite, now... we will return with the power of Niagara GPU SIM... for breakup of these kitbash pieces :) ITS EPIC, ITS UNREAL ENGINE 5 :D

I have baked out 15 Static Meshes from a walk Animation in

, and use them to flip-book through a walk animation via A

Instance Static Mesh Actor to animate thousands of NPC AI.
Not bad for a Mornings Work!

added GPU Export to Blueprints to the Content Example (for sure by 5.3) :
Advanced Particle Systems:
"4.2 Export Particle Data to blueprints"
This is a HUGE deal, as GPU Physics Simulation is about 100-1000x faster/cheaper...
Ohhhh, sweet merciful crap.
Probably won't mean much to my non-TechArtDork friends, but finally just wrapped my head around Niagara GPU-Readback. The spheres here aren't mesh particles, they are real, CPU-handled meshes being fed from a Niagara GPU sim. This changes everything.
Seems harmless... What would happen if I simply... used it on 11k actors in Unreal engine... then un-used it... I am sure it will just... stop ticking, right? Unreal Engine UE5 PERFORMANCE WARNING GAMEDEV INDIEGAMEDEV
"Materials with roughness below 0.4 cost the most for Lumen to solve lighting for, as extra rays have to be traced to provide Lumen Reflections."

This is an Unreal Engine Blueprint Tick Manager for 11,000 actors... To dither your needed calls, and maintain framerates.
Make an array of actors, and set a limit for how many we update each tick(512-2048), using a single blueprint manager
You can adjust this rate at runtime,

Solo Indiegamedev is extremely... lonely. Even one interaction can keep me going. Thank you for the wonderful support, even a view you couldn’t avoid. ✌️😛✌️
So we are out of indiegamedev funds, y’all 😎(6 years 🤡)We Burned my whole careers saving! And into crazy debt🤡🤡🤡
Don’t be me, use others money- it will force you to finish.
I hope you DO become successful, push the envelope, and find support!

We had a long and beautiful goodbye, both my Wife and I were with her. Its been a week of walks and a beautiful final day laying out in the yard under different bushes in the Sun😎
I love you Lucy,
thank you for a wonderful 16 years! ❤️

I agree with you, TIME. Quality of a persons time spent and subjects, builds diverse sized bubbles in each subject. I love my teachers initial welcome to our class when I was 17: “I may have 55 years of experience, but in this room, we have over 500 years we can share, speak up”

important indiegamedev marketing tip. this is ALWAYS the case with my videos. Just dropping links on R send as much traffic to Y as Y does itself. T does zero.
Remember, a lot of this IS easy.

I am EXCITED to be doing 🤑 Unreal Engine UE5 Optimization Consulting!🥳🥳🥳
In-field consultants/freelancers, see the same issues over and over, leading to quicker resolutions and outside the box thinking.
I focus on optimization reviews, to help teams gain confidence in the way

GPU Simulation in Unreal Engine UE5
Blueprint & C++ 100,000 particles per frame/tick.
This paired with sleep/wake to Nanite ISM, provides a complete Nanite VFX loop 🔥🔥🔥

You may not know about enableing:
"Compressed Cooked Packages" 🚀
in Unreal when packaging your

projects.
This will compresses your materials, so your deployment package (video game size) is about
🚀50% smaller 🚀
Epic is hosting an 'Epic Mega Game Jam' which is a 1 week long sprint to make an Unreal Engine Indie Game off a theme. This is well timed, as some Devs may live-stream the whole process of gamedev, great examples for Unity devs looking for a review what a whole game done in UE is
Epic MegaJam 2023 kicks off today, there's no better way to get started in Unreal Engine, meet devs, and have a good time doing it🥳
To help prepare, we're hosting office hours with our amazing UE evangelists. Bring your questions on all things Unreal:
Working with Unreal Engine 5 and Lumen? Need your Emissive Lights to be seen from a longer distance? Increase the Lumen Global Illumination Screen Distances/Trace range with a Post Process Volume added to your level UE5 Gamedev Lighting VFX

100k Nanite Niagara GPU SIM Particles
-> Exported to Blueprints each Tick
-> Converted to Transform Arrays by Mesh Index in C++
-> Batch Applied to ISMs each Frame to render as Nanite

Packaged Shipping - PLUGIN! In Unreal Engine 5.3 to convert 110k Niagara GPU Particles to Nanite ISMs each frame.👇
I've learned how to make Blueprint Function Libaries in C++, and package them up as Plugin Content, so you can "add this plugin" well like this 👉

PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND DEBUGGING with Unreal Insights is finally ... launch-able within the editor. Now, we can really get down to what is up.
Here is a quick tutorial looking at CPU Blueprints impact (massive manager, massive core) and how to record and review it. UE5
The recording from my presentation "Advanced Debugging in Unreal Engine" is online, check it out!
All the slides are also there in text format for easy searching.

Isnt winblows11 supposed to enable that cpu chip level “virus protection” aka we knew it was going to be slower than windows10 in all cases already going in?
I've changed the gpu export to export on particle death, also increased the particle spawn rate to 10,000 per frame... and uh, it all works 🤯😭

I found Niagara "Effect Type(s)"are GREAT for distance/LOD control of Niagara systems relative to the player!
It's Unreal Engine's built in LOD and VFX pooling controls, and super simple to setup!
