I work on a new system for headshots.

I this picture you can see one of the early tests how the head looks like after a headshot.

Gore update for the game.

I added new gore parts to the game. Here is a short video from a test if the functions work for this correct. Also testing how a slowdown after a headshots could look like.

Testing a new head gore part for headshots.

A first layout of the UI for weapon upgrades.

UE5, Nanite and Vertex colors: I tested successfully the use of Nanite and only using vertext color information with all seen models for a cemetery in this scene (Beside the standart UE5 SK player model). No textures used at all.

After the switching from UE4 to UE5 i really start to love Nanite. It is just crazy what you can do if you dont have a poly limit for your models. But it is also time consuming as hell.

Here you can see a test about an arcade style collectables system (fully based on niagara). And the function for calculating impact zones for a dismember point system. Also calculating headshot / hit and miss statistics for the player profile.

I started working on the models for the hell level setting.

All SM models are Nanite models without using normal maps. The pile of heads dont use any UV´s and is only polypainted (vertex colors).
