We built a 5,000 SF Holodeck for our own use at Four Seasons Lake Austin. It's so far ahead of other VR that John Carmack (former CTO at Oculus) and Meta's CTO have flown to Austin to see it.
We have it set up in Mountain View this week. 6-min film previews the places we visit in the Holodeck: youtu.be/BSLaRi5sM80

Here's a #UE5 tutorial for using render targets to make a character movement heatmap. Put people in your space and see where they go! I made it for architectural design purposes but there are lots of fun effects you can do with render targets.

My Unreal Fest Orlando talk is now on YouTube! I covered a TON of Twinmotion features, some basic beginner things and a lot of advanced niche things. Regardless of how you use TM, I hope you come away with a few nuggets of inspiration.

My presentation from the Cesium Developer Conference is now available if you couldn't be there in person. It's titled "Real Time Fun with Cesium and Unreal Engine" because there are so many creative ways you can manipulate geospatial data in UE

The new "Celestial Vault" plugin in Unreal Engine 5.6 gives you geo-accurate stars, planets, and moon phases. I was able to use it to test out astrophotography positions across the globe with @CesiumJS and Google Earth. It works great with long exposure and time lapse, too!

Someone told me they "couldn't get an empty #UE5 scene to render higher than 60 FPS" (make sure you profile in Standalone, folks). After running a test I figured some people would benefit from a reminder that you can opt out of Nanite, Lumen, and all the advanced rendering features that have been added to the engine over the years.
Start developing like it's 2015 again and reap the benefits of modern hardware. 435 FPS pictured below @ 1920x1080. Less than 1% GPU usage! 😬
@McBradd @mattworkman @Antisimplistic @OlixOliver
I apologize for misleading you with the A6000. I tried it on my laptop and was surprised to see that a more realistic frame rate was 500-650 FPS. 😂 I know I'm oversimplifying the reality of game dev, but this was just a splash of cold water for people who think Unreal is limited to 45 FPS cinematic masterpieces.
