This improved depth fade uses a dedicated depth texture... map to offset values with RemapValueRange, PixelDepth, and SceneDepth, for a more volumetric result #UnrealEngine5 #VFX #realtimeVFX #gamedevshow more

You can smoothly mix gradients using Distance, Noise, and... Power nodes to create a dynamically controllable falloff with texture variation. Replace the Noise node with any texture sample for more customization #VFX #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine #gamedev #UE5show more

The simplest way to create action lines in a... shader is to take some noise and convert its UVs to polar coordinates. Interested in shaders? The Godot Shaders Bible might be just what you need ✨ #GodotEngine #indiedev #gamedevshow more

Terrain Scan Shader can adapt to any sphere mesh... using object position + radius, making it a seamless scan overlay across scene objects #gamedev #VFX #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngineshow more

Fake volumetric smoke using a camera-facing mesh deformed in... world space, with an Unlit shader and no particles or SubUVs. Directional lighting faked with a dot product between a normalized direction and a normal map #gamedev #VFX #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngineshow more

Gradient masking for smooth swipes! This material setup creates... a full-range gradient sweep, perfect for effects like wipes, transitions, or directional reveals. Driven by a sine wave for continuous motion. #gamedev #VFX #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine5 #UnrealEngineshow more

🐟 From Simple Sprites to Swarms 🐟 Using an... animated diffuse+normal texture with some vertex offset to break up the motion can be a great way to fake 3D! Each particle has a randomized speed, period, and frequency #gamedev #VFX #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine5 #UnrealEngineshow more

🔥Burning Shell🔥 Enhance effects with depth and complexity! By... using Pre-skinned local pos instead of LocalPosition, you can attach to your mesh before any animation is applied. Full breakdown: #GameDev #VFX #RealTimeVFX #UnrealEngineshow more

Laser VFX made with PopcornFX & Unity 6 Our... VFX Artist Rémi SL created this laser with simple shapes and colors. Mainly using the template feature to easily tweak and reuse different elements across the effect. #VFX #RealtimeVFX #Unity6 #GameDev #GameArtshow more
