Big update to DFoundryFX plugin for Unreal Engine 5.6.
Lots of fixes, performance improvements, code cleanup, DPI scaling fixed (I hope 🙏).
Engine Tab is completed and functional again. 👍

I just saw some new free character models for UE5 on Fab. It's always welcome to have variety beyond Manny and Quinn meshes, and for free, it's doubly welcome.

Each pixel is a thread...
I'm reading "CUDA by Example" and this sample blew my mind. Ripple effect is common in pixel shaders but always relative to the surface.
Here each pixel is a GPU thread, calculating its value every frame.🤯
This from a 2010 book and I didn't know it was possible until today.

UEMaterials 2nd Anniversary! 🍻🎉🥳
200+ Unreal Engine materials, 260+ GitHub stars.
I'm glad you all are enjoying the repository.
To celebrate, I added a Gallery where a thumbnail collection of all materials is presented, linked to the source code screenshots. (WIP)

I'm using VSCode with Cppvsdbg for a while but its features are lackluster, today I tried RadDebugger and it works surprisingly well.
I "hacked" a custom command into launch.json as a shortcut to start a RadDebugger session with the latest debug build.

The difference it makes when you move a division and float cast outside the loop is significant.
And where I spent my time yesterday, sometimes the smaller functions can be the trickiest to fix.

I optimized so much that I had to spend a day rewriting my FPS counter because the frame timing was so small, my sleep (in milliseconds) was missing vsync.
I almost had to add: if (delta < 100) Sleep(1ms);

I'm bored... I should write a Vulkan "Hello Triangle" in Zig without GLFW3.
A day later and 850 lines of code = FAIL.
Today I'm going rewrite everything with GLFW3 and following Vulkan Tutorial.
Nothing like a good amount of pain to fix boredom. 🤣

Why do I make and share basic templates?
Because if I spent an afternoon to make this work (Zig+Raylib+Emscripten[HTML5, WASM, WebGL ES]), someone starting in dev would take a week and AI assistance won't help at all.

Yo @thunderowl.one , I just received the tulip.computer , a picture of it with my good old M5Stack Core.
Thank you for the recommendation, I really wanted an ESP32-S3 with a big screen! 👍

Zig language : yesterday was super productive, I was able to port and upload templates for Allegro 5, SFML2, NanoVG.
Today I included a Webview template too, for those who prefer to use HTML instead of an UI framework.

It is an easy to use function that you add to M_Mannequin Base Color and presents a list of new color parameters to customize UE5 Manny and Quinn.

I saw this one today, I think it is a factory preview using ESP32-P4. Looks great but sadly is the P4 is a RISC-V chip that don't have WiFi or Bluetooth.

Zig : I updated BaseRayLib Template, removing .DLL dependency, a release .EXE build is now only 920KB.
I chose Zig + RayLib as my main platform for 2025, plus UnrealEngine5 as always💕. Raw and pure C, coding games direct to the hardware.
You all know "Zig == C", right?
