1:00pm SLT: A LIMB

A Limb is a kind of artistic Frankenstein, exhuming all sorts of music corpses from their graves, stitching an ambient body with funk legs, punk feet, experimental arms, jazz hands, a drone head, inserting a big ethnic music heart and krautrock lungs... then bathing the whole "body" into a dub effects bath, until an electro thunderbolt strikes it and... omg... it's... alive! Hmm.. sometimes science goes too far, but it's too late to back-pedal...

More info from Yadleen about her new venue:

Dear friends, fans and Artists.

Since end of January Cat's Circus is history. I lost my musical home and a some others too. I created my own place for Music Events on my Parcel Clara's ArtGarden. The name is " Studio M ".
I will play there on different days and different times. Lets see how that works.
I know it's difficult to start something new. But I hope many of you will visit.
Additionally I'd like to invite musicians to play at my place too. If you are interested please send IM / Notecard. Restriction is " only Original and / or Live Music ". I would like to continue this tradition of Cat's Circus.

Bring your friends and tell about ...

Happy to see you there.

Yadleen

I’m busy learning Unreal Engine 5 by making my very own virtual island

Screenshot of a desktop editor with a bare bones island 3D shape with a lake and a river.
Unreal Engine 5 is both easy and very challenging. It is easy in that most of what you want to do is all menus, settings, layers, and selecting from some amazing 3rd party textures, materials, etc.

The challenging part comes in actually understanding what you are doing. There are literally tons of settings (I mean countless) and the power really comes once you get to understand about 15% of that. I’m still on around 2 or 3%, but I do have a basic island with a landscape, a lake and a river (sort of). As you keep busy with it, you realise there are better ways to do most things. So beyond 15% knowledge, and you start to do things quicker and better.

Apart from just creating islands and any other landscape or structure you can think of, there is 1st or 3rd person gaming views, cinematic and animation, VR, and lost more. It makes Lego look like kids play.

I’m also doing it on Linux, so there are some minor challenges. The main UE5 Editor is now native Linux binaries, as well as the Quixel Bridge add-on. But I’m having massive issues with Epic Games sign-ins and their hCaptcha checks (clearly, I’m not human, yet I solve the identical hCaptcha on other sites this same week!). So, for two plus days I’ve been getting failed login. Funny thing is I was logged in a few days back, but I’m not the only one, it seems, with this issue. So, this is impacting my progress a bit.

The plan is to finish my photorealistic island and then to spend time walking around it, and maybe build it into an Android app or desktop app for some others to enjoy too. And of course, I can keep improving this island.

So, if you’re looking for a 2023 challenge still, Unreal Engine could well be it! It’s free to use but does require a bit of GPU processor and RAM.

Unreal Engine 5.2 – Next-Gen Graphics Tech Demo Showing Real-Time Rendering

Rivian electric truck with one wheel on a protruding rock, with forest in the background
I certainly could spend a whole day watching the details of this stunningly beautiful world being explored by driving this Rivian through it. The level of detail is truly mind-blowing now.

Two things that are shown off here are firstly the type of detail that can be rendered for a vehicle, and secondly how changes to the virtual world are just rendered in near real-time.

I’m just picturing in my mind having the game Snowrunner releasing something with this level of detail…

Unreal Engine 5’s MetaHuman is getting a new update called Animator to create new fully animated facial models in real time with just a phone camera – this demo can be seen at https://youtu.be/pnaKyc3mQVk
