I have been looking at creating these epic or almost alien objects or natural shaped locations to set an interesting tone for the game

With the new spear launching ability you can combo in to pretty neat traversal combos

Testing out the spear launching ability in this level to see how it works with other abilities and platforming

Been tinkering with the Tri Spear, it needs some tweaking but it become a great spear in the players arsenal

Been fixing bugs with this new launch ability, added in a mock animation to replace for later but it starting to shape up

A fun little gameplay segment for this level

Just published tutorial for Avoyd Voxel Editor - Export Voxels to glTF for Unreal Nanite

In glTF 2.0 the `emissiveFactor` *must* be between 0 and 1, which isn't very useful since many emissive elements have much wider ranges than this, leading to the extension KHR_materials_emissive_strength which introduces a new property `emissiveStrength`.

It seems UE5 glTF respects a emissiveFactor > 1 so I'm allowing this in the Avoyd exporter.

I am not really sure why this is required to be 0-1 in the spec, nor why the extension didn't just permit a wider range

Here is a little closer look at one of the archs in the background of this desert, it is like time and gravity does not work as you would think in this level

Space Potato?

Cursor material added and several new things about #UE5 learned

The cursor (white square) movement is kind of dyzzing like this 🫨

But it can be interpolated for smoother movement

Who would have though that making a "procedural" grid material in #UE5 would take two days and countless number of tutorials?

Less aggressive clouds than the last time
Anyway, how does one make a volumetric noise in #UE5 ?

This planet have some terrible weather conditions

Alright, the fake atmosphere number 2 - the real one was very nice, but sort of hard to work with

Fake atmosphere, kind of works, but from what I gathered, it should be possible to use #UE5 SkyAtmosphere on big enough planet - I should try that next

Sadly, practically applying #b3d procedural planet tutorial to #UE5 is not as easy, as I hoped it to be

Yet, progress was (sort of) made

Starting to have a slight idea what I am doing when working in #UE5
(I wonder how long that feeling will last? )
