I've added some user requested features to the #UnrealVDB plugin, including QoL improvements, more control, more console variables, custom VDB AOVs with MRQ and temperature color ramp which could be used in many different ways. #unreal #ue5 #realtimeVFX

Thanks for implementing the ramp so swiftly!

Alex Leiva3 years ago

This is great! Thank you

James Parker3 years ago

Is there anyway to set up the VDBs so they respond to point lights?

Thibault Lambert3 years ago

Sadly no, I only sample the first directional light.

eugene Flormata3 years ago

there a cvar or something to get these to render after dof?

Thibault Lambert3 years ago

Hey sorry about the late reply. I think Vdb.AfterTranslucent will do the trick, it would be nice if you could confirm. This variable is read at engine startup only so it needs to be in one of your .ini file.

Hey @LambertTibo . Thanks again for this incredible tool, and the help you’ve provided this far! Re: the new console variables, is there documentation on what they variables are? I looked on the GitHub and only saw release notes. Sorry for the dumb Q!

Thibault Lambert3 years ago

Hi and thanks ! Type ‘help’ in the editor command line and filter results with ‘vdb’. That will show all the available command lines with their explanations. Hope this helps !

Here is a full showcase of my custom Source 2-like light baking and probe implementation for Unreal Engine 5. Features showcased: - Volume based probe system (full density control, fade between volumes with a volume fade slider, automatic volume priority and custom priority overrides) - GPU Lightmass with expanded features like a custom denoiser and overall QOL (like a bake volume which only bakes objects inside the volume for fast prototyping) - Custom Box Capture implementation to make it easier to use (basically just a custom way of scaling the box capture component since its so annoying) - A custom fullbright viewport option for easier map editing (without having to get visual clutter in the way) Will eventually release on FAB as a plugin for UE 5.7. Everything is running inside an Epic Launcher Downloaded version of UE5 in this showcase. #UnrealEngine5 #UE5 #GameDev

Comparison between the ACES Filmic tonemapper (top) which comes BUILT IN to Unreal Engine! And my new custom tonemapping setup (Bottom). Full vid going into more detail about how the film industry has been SCREWING up color in gaming for a long time, now on my YouTube channel! AiAngel. A packet with the resources and how-to for my custom tonemapper setup is also now available on my Gumroad page! Link to that in YouTube video description. #ue5 #game #film #unrealengine

Abdul El-Sayed goes on CNN and challenges JD Vance after attacking the Second Lady: "The point that I've been making about his wife is that he believes in a political philosophy that says that some people are somehow more American than others." "Any of us with different color skin who pray different ways can be just as American as JD and his Papaw." No pushback from CNN's Kaitlan Collins.

Showcase: Pitch Motion Mapper for SynthV2 --- What does it do? PMM is a plugin for SV2, which allows users to edit parameters accordingly to their tuning for a more expressive and dynamic output. It takes pitch curves and allows the user to mirror them onto all SV2 parameters in different strengths. It works with the PIT parameter and with the drawn pitch curves!

Last week we conducted the first pre-alpha test for Dremica and it was the most fun I've had in years. Next test Sunday. More things being added to the game and we're going to start testing out some on-chain rewards. SAMA will be the utility token used in Dremica.

Here's a real-time audio-reactive (sound on 🔊) fire sim running in Unreal 5.6. Each of the small emitters is linked to a different frequency of the audio spectrum. I've been experimenting with audio-driven Niagara FX and will be sharing more soon.

Check out this gorgeous modern custom home in Toms River. This masterpiece features the most up-to-date upgrades, including a walk-in fridge, glass step railing, and glass balconies from every room and so much more. How many views do I need on this video to be able to buy this stunning new house?! 😉

Copilot Cowork is now generally available! Over the last few months of preview in Frontier, we’ve seen you use Cowork to help with so many different tasks. We’ve also been listening closely to your feedback and with GA, we’re bringing you more improvements + new features across model choice, extensibility through plugins, browser automation, and cost management controls. Here’s a quick demo showing the latest updates in action - inspired by some of my own day-to-day tasks. You can also read more in the blog linked below...

Sure, AWS DevOps Agent just went GA, but we added a bunch of features at the same time, including Custom Skills, Learned Skills, Code Indexing - just to name a few! If you have 30 seconds, you can see the new On-Demand SRE Tasks in action, which can help you with the endless variety of operational tasks that come up. More in the blog!

6⃣ Main Different Modes of Attention + explanations Can you notice when you are spontaneously in each of these types of attention throughout the week? Most think attention mode 2. is the only way to be concentrated = sustaining engagement with desired phenomena for long periods of time. But actually you can learn to maintain each mode of attention and concentrate in different ways - knowing this radically opens up one’s potential in meditation practice and access to many more states of mind and insights. 🤯 ¡This animation visually illustrates different ways in which attention can behave, but note that these different modes are relevant across the senses (not just with seeing)!

The Fondant Easy Custom Normals addon v2.1.0 is here! Works in Blender 4.3-4.5. I've reworked the Laplacian Smooth Modifier to run on Face Corners, giving us more control and quad mesh support. Also optimizations and new features. No longer needs to run slow triangulation operations. Stability problems are addressed by Momentum Smoothing, which also allows the strength to be scaled up as high as 3 without blowing everything up. So you can do more smoothing in fewer iterations! And there's more control of how things interact with the smoothing. Instead of only choosing how strong it is on a given point, now you can scale the amount it contributes to the smoothing of its neighbors. Or reduce its Original Normal strength to allow it to be overwritten or filled in. These changes and more are all part of the free tier of the addon. Please consider picking up the paid Face Proxy system to support continued development!

There are some notable warning signs around the developing El Niño, which is expected to strengthen between October and December 2026. According to NOAA: — More than 90% chance of a very strong El Niño — 69% chance it could be stronger than any El Niño recorded since 1950 — Pacific waters are already more than 2°C above normal in parts of the region — It could bring major shifts in rainfall, heat and storms across different parts of the world — If the Madden-Julian Oscillation aligns with El Niño, its effects could be amplified Credit:Weather With Travis / NOAA CPC
