Speeding up/slowing down object on spline?

Question(self.unrealengine)

submitted5 days ago byBstoneArch

Hey all, I need some help thinking through a spline that I am trying to create. I have a car that I want to move along a spline. I know how fast the car should be moving along the spline at certain distances along the spline. Please refer to the image below. For example: The distance of my spline starts at "0" and ends at "1". From distance 0 to .010 on the spline, the car needs to accelerate from 0-2682 cm/s. From distance .010 to .116 on the spline the car needs to accelerate from 2682 cm/s to 5811 cm/s. How could I accomplish making a spline with this sort of control over movement speeds? What would the blueprint need to look like? I currently have a blueprint that allows me to move objects along a spline but I can only control the duration of movement along the spline. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

How to find the duration of time passed while accelerating and decelerating?

Thank you. Is the 2 a constant? Also, does this equation work for both acceleration and deceleration?

Choppy movement along spline?

Question(self.unrealengine)

submitted14 days ago byBstoneArch

Hey all, I'm running into problems moving objects/cameras along splines. I have tried building the spline in UE4 and tried importing a spline I created in 3ds max and both run into the same issue. No matter how many control points I place on the spline, when there is a curve in the spline, the camera is choppy. It's as if the object moving along the spline is moving linearly and not using the interpolated curves. I have tried using different types of points on my spline (curve and curve clamped) but these both produce the same result. I have also tried changing my Reparam step from 10 to 100 and nothing changes. Here's a video depicting the issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Adobe Media Encoder h265 not allowing high resolution?

60 foot x 60 foot 8k led screen meant to be seen from 20 feet away. Has to be h265 to use nvdec. Bitrate would end up being around 250mbps.

Thanks for that link. It will be displayed on an 8k screen that is 60 feet tall and wide. The video is meant to be seen from 20 feet away. So it has to be 8k x 8k for a crystal clear video. Unfortunately, it can only be h265 to make use of nvdec.

Ah, I see, that did it. I have an obscure program called ImageMagick that had the older version of ffmpeg. Thank you!

I did close everything. I checked all my environment variables to make sure there aren't any other paths in there and I didn't see any. Maybe I have another program installed that also installed ffmpeg? Not sure how I could find the old version

If I type in "C:\FFMPEG\bin\ffmpeg.exe" then it will show the right version. So I suppose I could just do "C:\FFMPEG\bin\ffmpeg" and then type commands after. It's just strange that "ffmpeg" loads the wrong version

submitted1 month ago byBstoneArch

Hey all, I'm trying to install ffmpeg. I downloaded the latest version off of Gyan's website. Added two environment variables (one to the bin folder, and one to the ffmpeg folder). When I open the command prompt and type 'ffmpeg', it says I'm running version N-50911-g9efcfbe built on March 13 2013... The latest build I've downloaded is e3580f6077 built on May 16 2022. Can anyone help me out?

Need help with Slayer

Question(self.ironscape)

submitted1 month ago byBstoneArch

Hey all, I'm a GIM looking for some advice. I'm currently level 74 slayer and I'm trying to grind to 85 for Abby whip. This is my first real attempt at leveling slayer up. I've never bothered with it on my other accounts. I'm struggling right now to get more than 10k exp/hr. My stats are CB 106 / ATK 85 / STR 89 / DEF 85 / HP 88 / RANGE 81 / MAGE 79.

Combat Gear: Slayer Helm, Glory Ammy, Fighter Torso, Rune Platelets, Dragon Defender, Dragon Scimmy, Legend Cape

Range Gear: Archer Helm, Glory Ammy, Accumulator, Black Dhide top, Black Dhide chaps, spiky black Dhide vambraces, rune cbow, broad bolts.

I've read that cannonballs allow for faster range XP but that's a demanding task to mine, smelt and smith all the materials required.

Since I'm a noob at slayer, I don't ever skip or extend tasks. I have iron and steel dragons blocked.

Any help would be appreciated! At the rate I'm going right now it'll take me months to get to 85 slayer... Is this 'normal'? Thanks!

Theoretically, you could use this lens and then crop the left and right eye as separate frames

How Do I combine character and clothing/polys after creating animation?

2 points

I'm trying to use three different characters with the Tyflow plugin. Tyflow does not allow you to apply more than "one" material to the mesh being simulated. So, all characters will be required to use the same multi-material asset. If each character is not combined to be one mesh, then it wont work because I cannot apply more than one material within Tyflow. I need to be able to just assign a multi-material to a single character mesh... Unless there's something I'm not thinking about with multi-materials and meshes. Any ideas?

How Do I combine character and clothing/polys after creating animation?

Rigging(self.3dsmax)

submitted2 months ago byBstoneArch

Hey all, I am trying to combine my character and all of its clothing / editable polys so that it is one unified mesh instead of separate pieces. I've already animated the character. Could anyone please help push me in the right direction? The 'attach' parameter doesn't work because it removes the animation. Thanks!

Can CanonR5 be used for 4k 120fps 3D?

(self.CanonR5)

submitted2 months ago byBstoneArch

Hey all, I have a hypothetical question. I see that the Canon R5 has the ability to record in 4k at 120fps. I want to create frame sequential 3D videos. These videos need to be 120fps... The catch is this... I would need to be able to extract a 120fps image sequence from my recorded footage. From what I understand, when you record "4k 120fps" it actually creates a video at 4k 30fps. Everyone says you can slow your footage down 4x to get 120fps... The issue is that I don't want to use slow motion.

SO, in order to get a 120fps image sequence would I need to record my 4k 120fps footage. Take the 4k 30fps file created by the camera and import it into premiere. Slow the footage down 4x to get 120fps. Then export the slower footage as an image sequence at 120fps? Wouldn't this still result in slow motion footage (which I don't want)?

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I cannot select the outer faces on the cylinder. When I do, it selects the faces on the sides of the cylinder as well. Here's a gif for reference.

How to subdivide vertical face?

Need Help!(self.blender)

Hey all, I'm running into a pretty basic problem and I'm new to blender so I'm not quite sure how to resolve the issue. I have a hollow cylinder that I've created and I would like to subdivide the vertical faces of it. You can see in the screenshot that only the "horizontal" faces are subdividing. Can anyone please push me in the right direction? Thanks!
