Cool blender/unreal engine 4/5 tip: you can actually export physics simulations (liquids/physics bodies/more) as .abc files and import them into unreal engine to create resource low fake physic simulations. Read more in the article:


This method is especially helpful for both smaller scale sims such as window destruction, and large scale simulations such as a building collapsing and exploding. This is an amazingly helpful feature that works well for the most part.

Some tips when doing this:

  • Check triangulate on the export settings

  • Bake all rigid body actions to key frames before exporting

  • For extra realism, export your unreal scene and import it to blender to create an environment so that your simulation will match what you want in game (bounce off walls, etc.

If you want something more resource friendly then chaos physics, I’d use this awesome blender tool. I believe this is how old games like call of duty mw-mw3 has spectacular building collapse scenes even on an Xbox 360. Storing simulations as animations is a helpful tool .

Proving the unreal 5 haters wrong by getting my fangame to run run at 400+ fps

Kinda surprised myself honestly

Been working on an FPS side project in UE5, and decided to throw away way too much of my life and make a battlefield style destructible building. IMO the physics might be better than battlefield lol, but DANG LOOK AT THEM WALLS CRUMBLE

Guys I met Shrek

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

I’m really enjoying making my own soundtrack for the game. What would you guys like to see in this game as far as soundtrack styles that you wouldn’t usually see in a game, let along a fnaf fangame? Idk just curious.

Working on some more battlefield style destructible buildings in unreal 5

I used chaos geometry collections for this, and so unlike battlefield, each piece is individually simulated, and much more dynamic. Check the vid in the article to see what i mean.

So I started playing old cod games again, and for some reason now I’m trying to make my own… currently trying to model the San Diego navy seal training center
