Unreal Engine MetaSound, a small example of combining two Noise waves, or two sounds, and using filters: Ladder Filter and One-Pole High Pass Filter

I tried to make something similar to the imitation of alien robot sounds, communication. Here is the first Unreal Engine MetaSound patch, its secret is the use of Bitcrusher filter #UE5 #UnrealEngine #sounds #gamedev

Now I like this material. I added normal generation and now the light reacts to it and it really looks like glass. I'm thinking about where to place it in the scene. These are like old glass elements but with Sci-Fi spices #gaming #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5 #scifiart

Every year, fale news increase. You hear info and think, is it true? Maybe an AI editor will appear, whose task will be to mark the news with a red or green square. And then you will also think, this red mark is fake, because you want to believe it. Therefore, read horoscopes

My 12 year old son amazed me again. I showed him sectional opaque glass material based on cubemap and said: I want to try to identify each side. He said he could do it and teach me. WAT?! His brain already understands what math to use in Unreal Engine #UE5 #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiedev

I haven't used an InteriorCubemap node in a long time, so now it's time to do an old idea with new experience working with Unreal Engine materials. Over time, I will show the code for this material #gamedev #indiedev #UnrealEngine #UE5

Fireballs? I love to experiment with Unreal Engine MetaSound, it started to give me the same feeling of experimentation as the Unreal Engine materials

Every 2-5 locations, you (the robot) will reach a transition location, where several states will be restored, one of which is wireless reactor charging. Energy is one of the essences that is lacking in my reality #scifi #gaming #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Friday was dedicated to MetaSounds because there was no electricity for 18 hours, tomorrow the schedule is not encouraging, there will be no 20 hours. So I'm postponing the visual part of the game again, so I'll show something from the past #gamedev #gaming #scifi

I love this texture, Area 51, I have it for experimenting with Unreal Engine materials. Here I generate a normal map, add cells, a lot of metal and it looks like a tin can. This is for the apocalypse setting, food, etc. #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5

There's been no electricity all day, so at times like these, Unreal Engine is for me in the context of MetaSound to stretch the charge of my laptop and charging station. I've made a dozen patches. I want to show how Ring Modulator works #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5Study #UE5

Wednesday, Unreal Engine, โ˜•๏ธ coffee. The first cup of coffee during experiments with material for widget, creating UV for the user interface elements, so that some had curvature. Maybe when I try different options, I'll realize that I don't need it #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev #indiedev
February 4, 2026 at 6:25 PM
I decided that even in the demo there would be a little bit gameplay of freeze, cold, coolness, like we have in reality in Ukraine now. This has already become a rule in my game development, to transfer reality into the game, even if it's on the Moon, sci-fi adventure

More than once I showed various examples of Unreal Engine materials, Vector To Radial Value node. So I used it in frost. Then I will show the code, it can be called a pattern for frozen glass #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev

I finally got to the stage where I started practicing optimization. I made several variants and even interesting patterns for UV, which I will show later in separate "learn stuff" videos. The summary of this video is obvious, refraction and transparency eat like a big whale. So I had to turn it off
