Collision geometry holds index into level palette -> animate tint to target. Polygons are broadly coloured to match expected/apparent realtime scene lighting. Figured it out, directly from the actual game. 🎉 No more conjecture, only certainty :) ~5 years later.

I used to be immersed in the world and story of this game. I remember being in Traverse Town, thinking about how they did things, and how the game was made, years before being involved with game development myself. It's incredible, that years after, I can just see the data/information of the simulation <- the systems, actually behind the gameplay and mechanics. 👀🧠

I started using After Effects ~18 years ago. I started game dev. a couple of years after. Today, I release my first (+FREE) AE plugin: 🟠🟢🔵 Advanced Radial Blur 🔴 ^ Which combines a bit of both skills. 🙂 🔗

✍️ I wrote an article on programming blur shaders for beginners. You do not need to be adept at either math or programming to understand how it works :) Going from the most basic/straightforward type of blur, to what you see below, and more! Lots of pretty pictures, media, and interactive code to learn from. -- Box blur, with clipping and radial weighting. (So, no longer really a box blur...?) 🔍 #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

Are these the best realtime shadows for Unity URP? I've not seen better, but if you have, then I'd like to see, too! Perhaps I might be inspired. 🕯️

👀 Ever see a 3D sci-fi energy shield like this? Realtime, interactive (per-tile), procedurally animated, and has layers of shaders with particle effects - I wanted to make something unique and "technically advanced", but also modular for performance scaling. It's straightforward to address individual tiles and hook in your own effects and calls with custom events. I'll be posting this very soon (for Unity URP).

Kingdom Hearts had incredible tech. > On the PS2, around ~2002! Even *the* most basic enemy, a shadow 'heartless', had complex rendering and behaviour [for the time]. Flatten, render -> top-down texture, duplicate intersecting polygons, *then* sample the texture on that geom.

Deus EX: MD's frosted glass panels. Playing for... research/reference. 🙂🤗 This game is ~10 years old! I love the masking effects, but you can see it's *not* rendering multiple layers of transparency. Most likely, they have a single blurred texture which they blend.
