33:41 "Global force resident mip levels...we'll ignore that"... haha! I laughed out loud. been wanting a clear explanation of exactly what that does and when you should use it. Otherwise, this is a fantastic video, thankyou!

[MrTRNAGA]

Mr.Manning thank you very much for the video, as always excellent quality information.

[CoyotesAAAPeeWee]

Fantastic content and very thoroughly covered.

Ryan, Fantastic stuff!!! I got through most of all of your content. Very impressive! I was recommended to come and view your videos by a colleague of mine. I have been using Unreal for a few years now (Teach it on occasion), but I was always stumped on the different nodes and their differences. If you had time could I request a video to maybe go in depth between a few common types (example: Append, Lerp, Multiply, Divide Blend, Constants, Scalars, etc.) Pretty much the most common nodes of when to use them and why. Since there is quite a bit they do get confusing on which to use, even for a long time user. Thanks!!!! Keep it up! This is Awesome!

thank you for recording 4k. I hate 1080 creators like we're still in 2009

Sad how this video only has 4500 views.
This clearly shows that no one cares about optimization, not worth their time and effort.
They rather just send out whatever at shit performance.
I've watched dozens of optimization videos and they always have the least amount of viewers.
Sad.

[gary.oneill]

[jotacoxabagaray]

I downloaded the Downtown West Modular Pack and I'm having problems with texture streaming.
How can I solve this?
Thank you

What kind of Mic and screen recording software are you using?

[JCPER-]

I’m trying to add a texture to a small part of the model but it adds the texture to the whole model how do I fix it?

[simonmalicek]

Would you advise any tricks for low poly/atlast textures ?

[borkoaleksic]

Which compression setting would you use for Roughness/ao/metallic etc.. ? BC1, dxt5 or BC7 nosrgb ? Building for PC/windows platform.

[rayunitedforyou]

Ryan, what's your discord channel link?

[aghayejalebian]

I watched the whole thing just to see what "Global force mip levels" does and you spent time explaining simple shit like how the interface zoom works but then you just ignored that one that is least self explanatory lol

[zdspider]

Consider setting the desktop resolution (or the capture window area size) to 1920x1080 before you start recording. Because the text is too small! I can't see shit! ☹ God forbid someone watch this on a phone or even a tablet. Otherwise it's an okay video.
