They used to have a specific GPU model listed as the minimum requirement. They likely removed mentions of specific GPU's since it's been so long that...

It depends on what you mean by multiplayer. In general if you're going to have an elaborate multiplayer system then that will have an effect on how you...

[darthviper107]

It means you need to build your lighting, the shadows are marked as Preview if you do something like move the light or static meshes

[darthviper107]

Supporting DirectX 11 is not an indicator of how powerful a GPU is, there have been DX11 GPU's available for more than 10 years. When UE4 was originally...

Just so you know, that's how the Lightmass baking system works, it processes meshes individually and settings like smoothing which try to speed up rending...

[darthviper107]

The text on the sign would be done with the textures/materials so first you'd want to take a look at the material that it's using and see how it's constructed....

[darthviper107]

What I would suggest is to do something smaller that's within your capabilities, trying to do a project without much experience that will require some...

[darthviper107]

Did you get any warnings like overlapping UV's?

[darthviper107]

This isn't really about the issue but you should probably think about changing programs--Rhino isn't the type of program suitable for making video game...

[darthviper107]

I think he wants a way that the person he shares it with has no way of being able to edit the files, what you're talking about there just prevents you...

[darthviper107]

No, if you want them to be able to load the project in the editor it can't have something like that. That's potentially a feature that Epic could add...

[darthviper107]

You'd need to get a new computer entirely, laptops don't have much upgradeability. The other specs aren't great either, but the GPU is very important

[darthviper107]

I had talked to one of their Linux developers a long time ago, it seemed like it just wasn't a priority at the time given the low number of users but...

[darthviper107]

There's a number of operations it can perform on a new asset that can be very slow, especially if your file size is 300MB which is pretty big. If you...

While it certainly works better than the Unreal support for WebGL it's still a pain to develop for in Unity as well.

[darthviper107]

Probably, but I can't make any guarantee, Epic hasn't talked all that much about UE5 so most things are speculation. Just remember that they aren't going...

[darthviper107]

It depends on how technical the plugin is, for example a rendering plugin could take advantage of specific things in a graphics API that aren't available...

[darthviper107]

Probably the vast majority of the editor will be the same, probably the thing that might be the most different is a UI refresh that could change the overall...

[darthviper107]

It depends on your budget and your other needs in a computer. At the very least you need something with a discrete graphics card, your current machine...

[darthviper107]

More cores doesn't automatically mean that it's better, there's also the clock speed. Some things in a software program can't use more than one core so...
