I finally got to the stage where I started practicing optimization. For 4 hours I tried to make the glass with ice not only outside the window in reality, but also for the game. I made several variants and even interesting patterns for UV, which I will show later in separate "learn stuff" videos. The summary of this video is obvious, refraction and transparency eat like a big whale. So I had to turn it off and do it through a mask

Sunday, morning, coffee, Unreal Engine. One part of this material is to make the texture more contrasty. I once accidentally made the contrast through an inversion node InvLerp. CheapContrast also suitable

did not die because of Geoff, or negative hype. It died because of its design. It's average, and that's is not enough on a crowded space.

I'm still behind the idea that this game should have been in and listen. Now? It won't bounce back fast enough to reverse the situation.

Not long ago, my 12-year-old son and I started learning Python. He wrote a code that prints a Pac-Man image to the console in symbols. I tell him: can you create that in Unreal Engine material? He surprised me again. My little genius
