Unreal Directive

Committed to delivering high-quality, easy-to-understand #UnrealEngine resources that follow best development practices, all created and maintained by @Tezenari

[Unreal Directive @UnrealDirective]

So... I rebuilt the Unreal Directive website from the ground up. A sleek new design, vastly revamped resources, amongst other improvements.

This is just the beginning, please let me know what you think 🙏

Once UE 5.8 officially drops (out of preview), I'll evaluate it and update https://t.co/NwQmkHa90j with updated console variables, specifiers, etc.

[Unreal Directive @UnrealDirective]

Dropped a big update on Unreal Directive. Site redesign, 11 new resource pages (specifiers, replication, GAS, project standards, gameplay tags), version filtering for console variables, and added search. Lots of stuff. Check it out! https://t.co/fZt0meM77H

I also update all resources to have UE 5.7 support (soon UE 5.8).

Exited to share a new resource: a complete list of Unreal Engine keyboard shortcuts! Search, filter, discover shortcuts to help simplify your workflow.

Rider is a great IDE for Unreal Engine development, so this is pretty hype

Not as exciting as MegaLights, but my contribution to UE 5.5 is that now you can define drop-down options for your String / Name variables in BPs! :D

Just create a function that returns an array, and select it in the Advanced panel. You can even use static C++ methods! 🌟

[Unreal Engine @UnrealEngine]

We are Mega excited about this in particular 🔦

MegaLights, a new experiential feature in 5.5, enables artists to use orders of magnitude more lights. They are movable and dynamic, with realistic area shadows, and can light volumetric fog. See this capture of our live, real-time demo using Quixel Megascans and KitBash3D assets.

I’ve been waiting for this! Can now start testing out Rive UI assets in Unreal Engine using DX12.

[Rive @rive_app]

The Rive x Unreal RHI technical preview is here, bringing a powerful new way to integrate Rive into Unreal’s rendering system. Available today for Windows DX12, with more platforms coming soon.

[Tim Sweeney @TimSweeneyEpic]

@UnrealSensei They'll be free from Fab launch to the end of 2024. Get them for free in that timeframe and you'll own them forever, like free games on the Epic Games Store:

[Unreal Sensei @UnrealSensei]

Epic Games will no longer offer the Quixel Megascans library for free starting next year.

A big reason a lot of people started using Unreal Engine is for the free library. Now each Megascan asset will be a separate payment.

[Chris Murphy @HighlySpammable]

A really cool feature that snuck into @UnrealEngine 5.4 is Landmass Erosion. You can set up your standard landscape then drop this in to make it do an erosion pass on your environment. Only a couple of clicks for a glow up. Check it out! #UETips

[Unreal Directive @UnrealDirective]

When dealing with Gameplay Tags in #UnrealEngine, remember that you can declare and define them in C++ using built-in macros

- UE_DECLARE_GAMEPLAY_TAG_EXTERN
- UE_DEFINE_GAMEPLAY_TAG
- UE_DEFINE_GAMEPLAY_TAG_STATIC

I explain it in a bit more detail here

[Unreal Directive @UnrealDirective]

Gameplay Tags have been one of my go-to features since I discovered them a long while back. Not only are they lightweight, but they are also incredible versatile. I recommend checking them out 👍

[Chris Murphy @HighlySpammable]

Gameplay Tags in Unreal are incredibly underrated! Create tags for attributes like ‘has red key’ or ‘has been to castle’. Then designers can set tag queries as variables on things to control game logic without having arbitrary bools on their character to describe things. #UETips

@Dmitriy_Vusatiy Where do you think I got the initial data? 😆

Anyways, not everyone has Unreal open, accessible, or knowledge to generate it themselves. In addition, I plan on adding more information than what's generated.

[Unreal Directive @UnrealDirective]

I developed a sleek list of Unreal Engine console commands & variables over on my website. While there's still more work that needs to be done, I'm pretty proud of it.

Is there anything missing on it that I should consider adding?

[Unreal Directive @UnrealDirective]

Another great resources from Chris that goes over many useful (and hidden) features in Unreal Engine!

I recommend giving it a watch, you'll definitely learn something new 😉

[Chris Murphy @HighlySpammable]

My Unfeatured Features of @UnrealEngine talk is now live! Go check it out here. I'd love to hear comments about what kind of stuff was useful in these talks. I always cut a lot to keep things in time so knowing what's particularly useful is great! #UETips https://t.co/4h8o3VqZ1P

[Unreal Directive @UnrealDirective]

@Peter87257618 Thanks for the suggestion Peter!

[Unreal Directive @UnrealDirective]

Last night I released v1.3 of UDCore, which brought 7 new functions and 2 function updates.

Got any suggestions for new features? I'd love to hear them!

[Unreal Directive @UnrealDirective]

Hey everyone!

I just released UDCore, a free, open-source Unreal Engine plugin! It's still in early stages, but it currently provides over 60 helpful functions/blueprint nodes.

Check it out and let me know your thoughts!
