Creating Snow Trails in Unreal Engine 4

Image
If you’ve been playing recent AAA games, you may have noticed a trend in snow covered landscapes. A few examples are Horizon Zero Dawn , Rise of the Tomb Raider and God of War . In all of these games, one thing stands out about the snow: you can create snow trails! Allowing the player to interact with the environment like this is a great way to increase immersion. It makes the environment feel more realistic and let’s face it — it’s just really fun. Why spend hours designing fun mechanics when you can just plop on the ground and make snow angels? In this tutorial, you will learn how to: Create trails by using a scene capture to mask out objects close to the ground Use the mask in the landscape material to create deformable snow Only show trails around the player for optimization Note: This tutorial assumes you already know the basics of using Unreal Engine. If you are new to Unreal Engine, check out our 10-part Unreal Engine for Beginners tutorial series. Getting Started ...

Fitting Text to a Container

There are a number of ways to go about putting some text in a container and having it size itself to fill that container. There are different technologies we can use and different considerations to think about. Let us count the ways. Magic Number it with viewport units If you set type with vw (viewport width) units, you can find an exact number where the text pretty closely fits the container and doesn't break as you resize. I'd call this a magic number . In this case, font-size: 25.5vw; works down to a 320px viewport, but still will break much lower than that. See the Pen Fitted Text with Viewport Units by Chris Coyier ( @chriscoyier ) on CodePen . This is kind of a less exotic version of fluid typography , which involves more of a sprinkling of viewport units and min/max sizes. FitText Dave Rupert's FitText is up for the job. You still need a bit of a magic number to get the sizing just right for any particular job: See the Pen Fitted Text with FitText by Ch...

Data Structures & Algorithms in Swift Full Release Now Available!

Image
Hey, Swifties! The full release of our Data Structures & Algorithms in Swift book is now available! The early access release of this book — complete with the theory of data structures and algorithms in Swift — debuted at our conference RWDevCon 2018. Since then, the team has been hard at work creating a robust catalogue of challenges — 18 chapters in all — to test what you’ve learned and grow your expertise. The book is structured with the theory chapters alternating with the challenge chapters to keep you on track to nail down the fundamental and more advanced concepts. Why Do You Need This Book? Understanding how data structures and algorithms work in code is crucial for creating efficient and scalable apps. Swift’s Standard Library has a small set of general purpose collection types, yet they don’t give you what you need for every case. Moreover, you’ll find these concepts helpful for your professional and personal development as a developer. When you interview for a softw...
