Nanite Programmable Path seems too costly to consider WPO for the most basic things... Uh, I don't like it. Feels like everything I'm tempted to do as a tech artist is no longer an option. Moving vertices used to be cheap :( So here's a hacky NO-WPO prototype 🧵

#UE5 #gamedev I was once again astonished by the cost of using a scene capture comp (~1ms😡) and I had a gut feeling a better solution was out there... Yes, turns out building a custom particle syst & renderer using Niagara Array & Grid 2D interfaces did the trick (~0.05ms🤯)

🥳New 30-min video out! I dive into different ways to rasterize dynamic effects (explosions, attacks, etc.) using Niagara, and show how to apply them to foliage & particles. Check it out!⬇️

#UE5 #UETips Friendly reminder Epic's UIMaterialLab project is free to download and is packed with tons of goodies and material tricks including SDFs functions to generate all kind of shapes, plenty of easing functions and more.

#UE5 #gamedev #indiedev This is the first asset I released on my Patreon, three years ago :) I'm starting the long process of updating all my projects to 5.5, just to check everything still works. It'll be a good opportunity to bring some older projects under the spot light.

#UE5 #gamedev #tutorial #UETips #UnrealEngine 🥳New video is out on my YT! I go over many techniques commonly used in UE to make characters interact with the ground, water, particles etc. I also break down a system I built to generate your own interaction data from capsules.

#UnrealEngine5 #UE5 #gamedev #realtimeVFX 🥳It's out!!! Here's a 30min-long demo of my custom waterfall generation tool, PLUS almost 1h30 of a thorough technical breakdown and tips & tricks on all the cool UE features that allowed me to build this!

#UnrealEngine5 #UE5 #gamedev Too ashamed to admit how much I struggled with this but here it is 😅 Jump Flood Algorithm ported to Niagara to create outlines using the custom stencil buffer and a cheap edge detection algorithm. Still a bit rough but it's working!

#UnrealEngine #UE5 One week of bug fixes and endless tweaks later... I'm extremely happy the splashes & buoyancy now! The rest could get some love but it'll have to do... Breakdown video is in the works! *Lots* to talk about so it's going to be split into three parts😁Stay tuned!

#UE5 #UnrealEngine5 Spending way too much time on this waterfall tool. I've finally reached a look I'm happy with tho! Turns out Dithered opacity + motion blur was the solution after all. Had too many issues with translucency. I'll explain everythg in the upcoming brkdwn video =)

Decided to try Position-Based Fluids for a first go at realtime fluids. I think I got the algorithm wrong, I've got weird boundary behavior. Meh, I suck at maths, it's an infinite pain to go through academic papers :(

🥳New video just dropped on YouTube! 🎥 A 40-minute deep dive into building a Niagara-based swarm VFX — featuring particle-particle overlap solving, avoidance systems (particles, pawns, obstacles), surface projection, slope handling, GPU↔CPU↔GPU particle swapping, and more. 👇

#UE5 #gamedev #vfx DoF is the biggest cheat to make something look good. It looks kinda cool in 4K tho, ngl 😁 Yes, still working on this. The devil lies in the details & Grass LOD is super hard! Started working on breakdown video part1. Audio is done! ~35min video incoming

#UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev Dayum, super stoked on this!😁Visuals need some love but it's very statisfying already. Splashes are generated based on the velocity at points all around the boat & are further injected into a foam diffusion system once intersecting with the water

#UE5 #vfx One more cloud tool done! I can build a complex cloud material and bake it into a volume texture. It took me most of the day because working with pseudo volume textures can be a wild ride: lots of UVs manipulation that can go wrong, either during writes or reads...

#UE5 #vfx Today's doodle. It'd be nice for the wetness map to fade downward along the character's surface but I have a feeling this is tricky to do. Dunno, might give it a try tomorrow.
