In Unreal Engine 5.8, you can animate rig controls directly on your model. 👆Author controls directly on your character’s mesh, with intuitive click-and-drag posing and customizable colors and transparency. ✏️Edit PolyGroups directly in the Skeletal Mesh Editor and use Direct Mesh Layers to adapt control regions to rig states, such as IK or FK.

⚠️In case you missed it ⚠️ Fortnite quietly upgraded auto-pickup last week 👀 If the setting's on and you walk past a higher-rarity version of a weapon you're already carrying, it swaps automatically now. Holding a gray pump, run over a green one, and it's yours — no button press, no inventory shuffle. Honestly one of the best QoL changes in a while. Do you already use auto pickup? In your opinion W change? Or mid? #Fortnite

Train Tracks is an artwork created by 3D Artist @kevringriffin to help with their learning of Unreal Engine 5. The project uses Megascans with supplemental modelling in UE for the tunnel. "The modeling tools in UE5 are highly underrated. They can do more than you'd expect, the updates through the last few years really made them quite useful for a lot of situations. Especially in my case, where I needed quick visualizations. It was perfect to just get it done in UE with real-time updates rather than going into another application." - Kevrin Griffin

So they built a @RocketLeague car in real life? Wow!!
Replying to @Tesla
Every car on the road today is limited by one thing: tire grip Roadster's thruster system generates 4–5x the force the tires can. More force on the same mass means significantly better acceleration – physics does the rest

Fortnite is coming to Linux!! We are already working with the folks at @EpicGames to ensure that @Omarchy is ready on day one with all the security requirements. Amazing what's possible when you nag @TimSweeneyEpic for years 😂 store.epicgames.com/news/epi…

A very fun fact @EpicVogel!!
Fun fact. I started my career maintaining the partially open source Linux version of Unreal Tournament back in Dec '99, then joined a company porting Windows games to Linux (Loki Software) in April 2000, before ultimately joining Epic in January 2001.

Epic has done this many times. That’s why it’s so inspiring to support them. - Epic vs Apple lawsuit - Perfecting the F2P model - Game distribution without junk fees - Free game dev tools - Tung Tung Tung - Cross platform gaming Epic Games has become the industry’s lightning rod, drawing concentrated criticism so that independent developers may continue building/innovating in relative peace.
“We vibe coded”. Based. They’re leaning in all the way and becoming the lightning rod for all the AI hatred of the gaming industry. That’s actually a noble sacrifice people don’t realize. That means that when other companies do even a little less obvious AI stuff all the angry people will still focus on Epic. Good guy Epic.

Help us bring more awesome games to Linux This is an open call to Linux distro maintainers and the wider Linux community, with a goal to work together and bring fair multiplayer gaming to Linux players. We’re rebuilding our Linux anti-cheat into EAC Linux v2 so that Linux players can have a similar level of protection against cheaters as Windows users do. We’ll pilot EAC Linux v2 with Fortnite first, with wider availability for game developers once we’ve validated its effectiveness. Learn more and get in touch: onlineservices.epicgames.com…

Launching projects for #UnrealEngine and #UEFN from the new @EpicGames launcher is a huge W! Also love the idea of accessing (and playing) Fortnite islands right from the launcher!! New launcher is 🔥

Does this picture make it look “absolutely empty”? This was the banner raising at 5:11PM. Looks pretty good to me!
I know it was a 5 PM puck drop but holy shit the arena in Carolina is absolutely empty for a home opener with a banner raising lol Embarrassing !

I find it ironic people are worried about the nano-texture display because I ordered it on my latest iPad Pro and now I would always choose it over the glossy displays!! Especially for use in bright places!
For any of those worried about the iPhone Duo’s inner display brightness , this is the iPhone Duo at max brightness compared to the iPhone 18 Pro Max at max brightness…

Seems to be limited to Shared Albums. Working properly in Library. I saved a photo from a shared album to my library and then I could copy text from that version of the photo. Never noticed this as a limitation before. Feels like a bug.

Oh hell nah if that’s not working I ain’t updating😭

Ok this problem seems to be isolated to Shared Albums. Seems to be working fine in the Library. I never noticed as a limitation before. Was it @apple ?
Hey @apple Live Text is not working in iOS 27 or iPadOS 27 even through I have it enabled in settings. Likewise I tapping on a QR code in a photo is also broken. Please fix ASAP! Being able to copy text from a photo is one of the most useful features of your OS!

I rebooted my iPad and text copy seems to work now but QR codes still dead and neither working on my rebooted iPhone. Hopefully there’s a fix soon.

Hey @Apple Zoom is also broken in iPadOS 27 Magic Keyboard. Normally I can hold down Control and use two fingers on the trackpad to Zoom the screen. It only works right after disabling/enabling the feature in Settings. Once I load in a new app, like X, it stops working.
