Material for my introduction course to volumetric rendering/raymarching using... custom HLSL node in UE5.show more

I achieved one of my tech art "Holy Grails"... in UE4 today. I finally figured out how to access volumetric lightmap data directly in the material; the diamond's material is unlit, and using volumetric lightmap data in order to calculate old-school style gouraud shading!!!!show more

I'm trying out the custom HLSL node feature of... VFX Graph (available from Unity 2023.2). Now I can extend VFX Graph with custom shader code.show more

Some early tests for my upcoming UE5 course :)... #UnrealEngine5 #characterart #3dart #3dcharacter #ue5 #photorealismshow more

learned how to use the GetDynamicMeshData node today. 🪵 #UE5

The dotted wall in Arknights: Endfield can actually be... recreated pretty easily using Depth Fade ✨ #vfx #UE5 #UE5Study #Materialshow more

Real-time volumetric rendering of clouds with multiple scattering (64... orders) using Radiance Cascades. Demo / U-HRC (64^3) / Path-traced 1k sppshow more

Saw a couple of character trail effects recently, so... wanted to try something using #Niagara mesh particles. Particle uploads bone transforms used by material for skinning vertices. #UE5show more

😶‍🌫️ Late night experiment: high-resolution, volumetric cloud rendering in... Unity URP. Doing R&D for my fog, too. Lighting is rather basic, ~I just started on this one.show more

I added a node to my custom node that... converts the depth image to a normal map! This is useful for 2D-style images where Normals Estimation doesn't work well.show more

Unreal Engine, Material, experiments... So this time I want... to show the node that gives us the cubemap... for example to create pseudo holes. Please, add a lot of likes to the post and I will show another experiment with this #UnrealEngine #UE5 #shadershow 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

Just found out that in #UE5 cloud shadows are... also being projected on the Volumetric Fog. You have to push the view distance of it very far though.show more

For those saying AI, NO, it's a ''simple'' node... edit on Master Material ! Nothing is AI in this video !show more

3D Environment Artist Li DeCai presented a stylized 3D... town scene created using #ZBrush, #3dsMax, #Substance3DPainter, #Substance3DDesigner, #SpeedTree, and #UE5. More renders and info: #unrealengine #3dart #substance3d #gamedev #renderingshow more

3D Camera uniforms for easily setup in any raymarching/raytracing shader

Meet Cleo, created and rendered by #gnomonworkshopinstructor Şefki Ibrahim,... developed in Maya and Arnold, and prepped for real-time and rendering in UE5. Learn Sefki's photorealistic character workflows atshow more

Traditional game dev warm-up for your brain from me... in Unreal Engine. Niagra with static mesh (simplified sphere) and distortion material (I call it space warp). Dynamic parameter to control refraction in material from particle system #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5show more

This is my first time playing with Dither Temporal... AA Node in Unreal Engine. As far as I understand, its main purpose is Opacity Mask as an alternative to Translucency blend, more cheaper. For now for me it's perfect for flow effects #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev #uetips #indiedevshow more
