Hi! I'm just starting to learn how to create games and I had a question in the video "How to Make Circular Progress bars in Unreal Engine (Round HP bars)." I can't figure out how to get blueprint to read the game data and show it. Could you share a link to a video where this is explained in detail?

Outstanding, Gorka. Thankfully you didn't end up on the GTA map. Congratulations on reaching 100,000!

Can Distance Fields be used to safe CPU or GPU resource?
I'm looking for a resource optimization series

[@thegamedevcave]

very much depends on what youre trying to save on honestly. As so often with optimization, context is key. there usually isn't a single "make it better" button. but in general distance fields are fairy well in gpu performance yeah. You optimization will often come from limiting draw calls, not so much from optimizing a few nodes and functions inside a single material. (within reason)
