Extremely proud to have some of the work of our @Gnomon_School students on the #Unrealengine Student reel this year for #GDC! https://t.co/5jduDTjxTj

One of the great projects that was created in my Game Creation 2 class last term!

[SpeedTree @SpeedTreeInc]

This week our #FanartFriday takes us to Ethan Clark’s, “Crystal Canyon / Mechanized Guardian of the Valley,” made for their #GameCreation class at @Gnomon_School, drawing inspiration from #BreathOfTheWild, #HorizonZeroDawn, and #Xenoblade.

@SteveTalkowski @UnrealEngine @madewithUnreal @NVIDIACreators @AMDRyzen Unfortunately meshes parented to joints won’t come across in the conversion process to skeletal mesh. The good news is unreal will support multiple skinned meshes on the same skeleton. Just unparent the mesh in place and smooth bind it to that single joint with 100% weight.

[Anton Napierala @AntonVertex]

@SteveTalkowski @UnrealEngine @madewithUnreal @NVIDIACreators @AMDRyzen Yeah! For a cinematic that you’re outputting to video it’s ok to disable the culling. If you were going to be running in real-time you would take a hit performance-wise. Better then would be to build precomputed visibility or maybe increase the bounds scale of meshes slightly.

@yezzer They always make them weird shapes for the first iteration of the dev kit hardware. That weird box on the upper right is a PS4 dev kit.

@Allegorithmic @Adobe What will happen to educational licences? One of the most progressive and empowering things @Allegorithmic has done is to give their software to students for free. @Adobe only gives students a discount on their software. Will you promise to keep this for Substance products?

Congratulations to all of the Best of Term winners! Big thanks to all of our talented instructors who help guide our students in the creation of these amazing pieces. I’m also very proud to have a student’s project from my demo reel class win the grand prize!

[Gnomon @Gnomon_School]

You sitting down? Good, otherwise you'd be floored by the wave of nostalgia that is our latest Best of Term Grand Prize winner by Gnomon graduate Aaron Corbin. Congrats to Aaron and all our new Best of Term winners, which you can find on our site! 🙌 https://t.co/DjVRnOn7Dg

@bridgewindsoup Happy Birthday guy!

[Anton Napierala @AntonVertex]

@AntonHand Why not start our own? I could probably host something at Gnomon. Gamedev Potluck maybe?

[LIFTED | Wishlist now! @Adventure_Works]

Hey Adventurers here’s Renato playing our game! Let us know what you think in the comments below. The sound is temp. More community on instagram and discord. We love @UnrealEngine and @TimSweeneyEpic

[Anton Napierala @AntonVertex]

@bridgewindsoup Ah. Gotcha.

[Anton Napierala @AntonVertex]

@bridgewindsoup It is screen space. In the static mesh lod settings disable, I think it is, precompute. Then in each lod you can st the screen percentage manually.

[Anton Napierala @AntonVertex]

@bridgewindsoup Same lod as the static mesh used for the foliage

[Anton Napierala @AntonVertex]

@bridgewindsoup Yeah it would be nice if you could do what you indicated. Like basically material function instances with uniquely editable parameters. Miss you too! How is your new gig?

[Anton Napierala @AntonVertex]

@bridgewindsoup Add function inputs and create unique parameters at the top level? Not sure if this is what you are specifically asking.

[Donk @CriticalDonk]

Hey all, we have a very special guest on our stream tonight @LootyGames who will be talking about #gamedev and their upcoming pirate pinball mashup, #CannonBallers! https://t.co/eJ0VW9jgZg
