Rigging is the hardest 3D job, what a 🐐
For the Go Goated Live Event, I was responsible for rigging all goat and creature characters and ensuring their animations integrated properly with NPC devices for gameplay implementation by the programming team. Visualz! #GoodGamers #GoGoated #Fortnite

Who needs objective pulse when you got Niagara :D
Got a treat for you today Tyger Byters, I made my own tutorial arrow system! This can target any entity, prop or location and auto go to next point (or not, up to you) Any icon/colour you want! Best of all, as always, it's totally free! Enjoy! github.com/DarkThymes/UEFN/r… #UEFN

Removing the Creator Profile Device appears to have had a significant impact on creator followers. I analysed follower growth across 10 Fortnite creators: πŸ“‰ Average follower growth fell 58% πŸ“‰ Every creator in the sample declined πŸ“‰ Some creators lost over 70% of their follower growth The strongest declines appear to be among creators who were actively using the device as a source for new followers. Chart below πŸ‘‡

Copy, moon joy! πŸŒπŸŒ™ I created a solar system simulation in #UEFN using Scene Graph! It's a true n-body physics simulation, meaning everything is calculated live using Newton's laws of motion and real astronomical data πŸš€

When are we getting a Who Framed Roger Rabbit sequel where the toons are on strike because of these lame live action remakes? And the villain is an actual rabbit
First look at Scooby Doo in the live-action β€˜SCOOBY DOO’ series. Coming soon to Netflix.

Since we're putting alot of emphasis on Go Goated and taking the IP to the next level, I figured I'd clear this up - we managed to track down VenomSosa, who originally created Go Goated and coined the name. I acquired the original game along with the naming rights and goodwill of the "GO GOATED" mark. Happy to have closed that discussion and be free to grow the IP how I've wanted to. πŸ˜„πŸ fortnite.gg/island/6621-0197…

#UEFN Update Celebration Skeletal Meshes in Scene Graph is a HUGE update! Instead of using MPCs or cinematics, I can finally change materials to an animated character just in Verse! Its wild how these small updates are beginning to compound! Now when do we get the sockets???

#UEFN Morning Warmup You cannot pet the big peely doggo :( Turns out we are fully locked out from doing any unique animations. The video you see here is from the editor but if you try to play it in game, it just ignores it. If you try to bake the animation it triggers a validation error. Skeletal mesh in general is hidden from us so any custom animation is impossible I was really excited to make something cool with the pets but we continue to be limited when it comes to custom animations.

Replying to @tomjank
ruh-roh! 🐢So this is indeed a bug. The team is aware and a fix should be implemented with the next update. Believe me, we all want to pet the giant Peels!
