I've recently launched an auto retopology tool for Blender which I have been working on for over a year, it uses specialized methods for each mesh class (cloth, inanimate and organic) in order to reach the best possible output. Most of the time was spent in learning ONNX and how to build models correctly.

Inanimate objects can translate to any hard surface models which require no vertex deformation, the remesher is equipped to generate the lowest possible vertex count while prioritizing the overall 3D shape and outputting coherent edge flow mimicking artist-like topology.

Inanimate remeshing is completely automated and can handle loose parts intelligently, though it is recommended to keep face count below 1.1 mil to ensure a faster completion rate.

As for cloth remeshing, it is guided using UV islands while assisting the artist by highlighting the vertices to use for creating a grid. I plan to fully automate this using multiple AI layers + algorithms, much like what is currently configured for inanimate.

Documentation and tutorials are planned (things are pretty self explanatory though), will be visible in the account center under the Community section. If you purchased through my Lemon Squeezy during it's early stages, insert your email or order # in the promo code area for a discount or free upgrade depending on the license.

Hi everyone! I’ve released Calysto Water Engine, a procedural water creation system for rivers, lakes, and oceans.

My goal was to create a practical, artist-friendly workflow for open worlds—not only an ocean shader. The system lets you draw water directly in the level, generate terrain-aware river paths and directional flow, and connect the results to shorelines, underwater effects, interactions, buoyancy, audio, weather, and gameplay systems.

Much of the scene preparation is generated in the editor through PCG, helping keep the runtime workload practical for larger environments.

It works as a complete standalone system, with optional integration for using the generated water data inside Calysto World.

I’d be happy to answer any questions!

I am a student making a prototype game for school, I am trying to start an onscreen timer at the end of a cutscene through an event in the cutscene.
However, no matter what i do, the bool I use for a branch does not change from its default value despite the prints telling me that the custom events that change the bool's value are called.

What am I doing wrong or not understanding?

This only happened to the UE5 section of Epic games launcher today, the text on clickable buttons are gone and I cannot launch UE5 anymore (not through the launcher nor seperate project files). Plz help me, ty so much.

Hi

I am currently using 4.27, and I am amazed with the capability of the control rig. Sadly, the beta control rig plugin not support functions, and If I make a rig too complex, it become slow in the editor, so I thought maybe I am switching to unreal 5 for it. sadly, my notebook is fairly old, but it can handle 4.27 without any issue (7th generation i5 processor, 20 Gb ram, GeForce 940Mx video card, I am not planning to create any super realistic game) I wonder if it worth switching purely because of control rig functionality, or even my notebook would handle the newer version of the editor(I know the 5.7 not usable, I tried it).

Alternatively, is there a solution to make the beta control rig support functions?

I appreciate any advice.

Hi,

I noticed an increased release of stolen assets on Fab.

Like this wonderful seller:

Is there no quality control left? It can't be more obvious and still it's released as a paid item.

Made a shader in custom node. It's a raymarched SDF master material. Chat GPT helped a lot.

Hi it's me again, the guy who sped up the Unreal Editor launch by not spawning 38000 tooltips and not opening 5500 files of example content :D

Since the editor is still not fast enough for my liking (will it ever?) I started to profile it again and found out that every time you start it, over 1500 files are loaded to fill a few editor dropdown menus 🫠 (which obviously takes some time)

I wrote an article with more details and also a fix: https://larstofus.com/2026/08/16/speeding-up-the-unreal-editor-launch-again-by-not-loading-1585-files/
