Does this let you reduce the number of bones or vertices in a mesh?

Juanmilanese · May 16, 2018, 5:40am

Sounds good!
So… any tutorial or livestream planed on how we should illuminate those marvelous proxy geometry things with the eccentric new physical lighs system from 4.19?

Hey David, can you recommend some advanced mathematical topics to study for FX (or other video game applications for that matter). I have some intermediate topics down, Linear Algebra, PDE, Probability, etc.

Shinra_Prince_YT · May 16, 2018, 12:01pm

By doing this would it affect the gaming quality? giving other users a different experience?

Major_Mints · May 16, 2018, 6:37pm

Technically yes, this gives users a less laggy experience lol
