    Really informative. I didn't even know this was a feature in unreal. Makes me wonder when you'd want to use this vs niagara effects

    • @CobraCode

      Thanks!
      I haven't messed around with niagara much yet, but I think an effect like this wouldn't be possible with it.
      This is used when you have a part of your flipbook that you want to glow, Niagara would be used if you want to spawn a sort of particle effect that isn't directly drawn into your characters sprite sheet.

    Do you share any content about autotiling for unreal engine it can be really nice.

    • @CobraCode

      Thank!
      There's a great video about autotiling from Rocky Mullet.
      It's not a tutorial, but rather a devlog though, but should still have some helpful information for you.

      @@CobraCode Thanks! I appreciate your videos a lot, its a good start and ive been having fun piecing stuff together.
      Glad I can combine these. I have to learn more about surfaces so I can adjust the edge lighting a bit, right now its creating really dark shadows when not near a strong light source. But thats the fun of it, figuring it all out! :D

    Awesome video man, as always.
    Do you have in plan to make a video with smooth animation, but not the pixel art. Something like New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja remaster. I played that game, and I really like the animation of the characters and enemies. That animation is not Pixel art, it's HD. I tried to export 60 FPS sprites from spriter, to try it out, and it is smooth. But there is always some jitter. So wondering if there is a way to do it.
    Thanks again for awesome video

    • @CobraCode

      Hey, not quite sure from looking at that game if they're using bone based animations or just HD sprite sheets.
      I do have plans to look into HD sprite sheets, but for bone based animations there currently is no free solution AFAIK, so most viewers won't be able to follow along.
      Somebody is working on a free plugin right now using Unreal engine's built in rigging tools though, so in case that works out I'll definitely cover it.

    How heavy is the processing on this? Can it be used on background elements?

      Not heavy at all.
      It's just an extra emissive map to process!

      Hey, do you mean the Beat 'em up?
      Sadly it's not gonna be any time soon.
      I'm not directly working on the game and haven't been since the last devlog about a year ago.
      The main bottlenecks with the game holding me back are animations and AI, so I've been spending the last couple of months practicing pixel art every day and reading books about AI implementation.
      I think I'm finally getting to a point where I can start to make some progress on the game soon though!

    Thanks for the tutorial. Unfortunately this doesn't work for me. Ive followed through five and 6 times to the letter and still end up with the same result. Everything works fine up until I add the second additional texture. As soon as I do though the entire sprite glows like the sun. And the _e texture has no effect. I didn't have the default emissive texture so i made one and imported the png. I do have an alternative way of making sections of the sprite glow but its a lot more time consuming. Any helps appreciated. Thanks🤗
