My talk on Procedural Content Generation is live! I strongly recommend this talk regardless of where you're at because I deliberately went through from nothing to a pretty comprehensive scene with some tricks I don't really see online normally. youtu.be/ncokCVoN-oU?si=t-jY…

UE5.4 has been out for some time now, but we still have a lot to share :) This second video focuses on to do loops in PCG and how contraint the generation to a spline! #UnrealEngine5 #PCG #procedural #UE5 #UE5_4 youtu.be/SxIXnEik2Xk

PCG helps to scatter assets in a matter of seconds. It does this by using specific areas, landscape layers and excluders that blocks generation. Available here: unrealengine.com/marketplace… #scifi #alien #3dart #unrealengine #unrealengine5 #ue5 #3dart #lumen

UE5.4 is finally here with Preview 1! We have so many new features I'm excited to talk about! The first one is the support for arrays and data assets for even more generic graphs! youtu.be/lYNkPYeqZVQ #UnrealEngine5 #PCG #procedural #UE5 #UE5_4

A new short tutorial, as a follow-up of the previous one: Point processing in Custom BP nodes! I build up on the previous video to improve performance for point processing. I'll show how to convert point color to HSV! youtu.be/-JnfQ4JwFTI #UnrealEngine5 #PCG #procedural #UE5

5.3.2 is finally out, meaning that I can release a new tutorial! We cover Parameters and Graph Instances so you can make generic graphs with different outputs! And also runtime execution ;) youtu.be/0NQAQPaJ8ko

My blog post on PSO Caching in #UE5 is now live! A critical step for PC DX12 titles to avoid frame stutters. It's still too common for games to launch without proper PSO caching and the information on this is often confusing. tomlooman.com/psocaching-unr…
