Plenty of fun talks and showcases planned, The event will take place in December, with dates and talk details to be announced #realtimeVFX #gamedev

@g-bigcinnamon.bsky.social guest lectured at his alma mater, giving perspective on being a VFX artist in today's industry. A theme: there is no "magic"-to become an artist one must allow themself to "fail and then fail again to learn." We couldn't agree more!

These are various material effects rendered with this Uber-PBR shader in Unity. Under URP, all materials can be rendered in a single batch.

An uber-PBR shader developed earlier for Unity (biRP/URP). Specially optimized for mobile devices — it allows different material effects to be displayed on the same mesh through a single parameter map.

I asked Gemini to create a preset parameter manager for this low-cost 3D explosion effect, helping users understand the functions of various parameters in this effect. It completed it both quickly and well.

#UE5 #gamedev #techart #realtimeVFX #VFX #indiedev #UnrealEngine

A procedural lightning effect I made earlier. Real-time noise calculation means it theoretically "never" repeats itself.
Considering upgrading it to 3D now—billboards always feel too limiting.

"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
I gave Gemini a simplified thermodynamic formula to calculate the change in smoke rise velocity: v(t) = (4.32 * (v_max^2 / H_max) * t) / (1 + 11.93 * (v_max / H_max)^3 * t^3)

Following community suggestions, a toggle has been added for the eye flare effect. Intensity can now be controlled directly via a parameter, or automatically calculated by lighting and viewing angles as before.

Aside from the eye flare, this eye shader also features iris parallax and a procedural eye shine effect.

Distorting UVs is a simple way to introduce variation and add more depth to panning textures. By pushing and pulling the UVs, this shader creates a bulging or pinching effect. #gamedev #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine #indiegames #VFX

Working with AI -- Vol.35
After rounds of communication and iteration with Gemini, we now have a shockwave shader that features a Wilson cloud deforming upon surface reflection, as well as a dust-kickup effect when it sweeps across object surfaces.
