Should be the 9th :stuck_out_tongue:

Sounds like an interesting topic though, especially after today’s stream!

#3

Every week I do this…

#4

I don’t really know what questions to ask because those tools are still pretty new to me, but dude you guys are loving the Particle enthusiasts this week, it’s ace!

#5

Hi all,

Same here , at the moment , i don’t know those tools , it’s going to be interesting

#6

Fun topic! I couldnt watch the stream on tuesday because of Twitch. Hope it will behave this time…

#7

More particles!!!

#8

I’d like to ask, how intensive would using morph targets be compared to animated bones. For example a common question people run into often is whether to use bones or morph targets for facial animation, I’d like to know which would be the best method performance-wise in UE4.

#9

When my pawn blueprint has a particle emitter attached to it, and the pawn has physics enabled, the emitter always lags behind the pawn by a distance determined by framerate. Why does this happen and how to fix it?

Thanks

#10

Is there a chance of seeing the Higgs particle today? :wink:

#11

Yes please with documentation ?

#12

Can we get the recording of this stream up soon? Pretty please? :slight_smile: It seems the Twitch page has stopped auto-archiving recordings.

#13

@SiggiG - Going up now! I’ve been out of town for the last few days. There should be a way yo view it on the twitch channel itself, however, at** twitch.tv/unrealengine**

Cheers! :slight_smile: Yeah there used to be an option there, a tab where the chat is, but it disappeared a few weeks ago?

Edit: Found it! If you click any of the archived videos below you get the full list :slight_smile:
