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

A handy way to cheaply fake lighting on particles... in UE5: Use a sphere mask in world space. Add a Vector3 to the Object Position node to offset it wherever you need #gamedev #VFX #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine #UnrealEngine5show 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

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

Using this Quantize shader will help limit the number... of discrete values from a full 0-1 range. Extremely useful when it comes to achieving a toon effect #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine #gamedev #VFX #UE5show more

Cheap Light Alternative💡 Using a modulate blend material you... can multiply screen colors and use depth masking to fake a light radius, make sure you clamp the result in a range above 1, Cheap and can work surprisingly well #gamedev #VFX #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine5 #UnrealEngineshow 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

Distorting UVs can be a great way to add... variation and achieve certain effects. For example, this shader pushes and pulls the UVs for a bulging or pinching effect. A quick way to add depth to panning textures #gamedev #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine #indiegames #VFXshow more

By baking data directly into a texture, through different... channels, you can drive position, scale, and rotation of other elements, unlocking flexible, procedural control for unique effects with optimized performance #UnrealEngine #GameDev #VFX #RealtimeVFXshow more

One way to remap data and influence visuals is... through value erosion. Here is how you can erode a texture controlled with a softness parameter #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine #gamedev #VFX #UE5show more

We have a new FREE tool coming soon -... perfect for 3D environments 🌎 But we need your help naming it! It can 'wrap' a 3d scan of bricks, terrain, surfaces etc, onto a base mesh without the flattening classic shrink-wrap methods usually cause. 🏔️ We're thinking something like Mesh Wrap.....Terrain Wrap....Any better ideas? 💡show more

Join us in this two-part series to discover how... to craft a gas giant using just UVs and noise! 🌌 First up, learn to generate spherical UVs and unlock endless creative possibilities #gamedev #VFX #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngineshow more

3D scans usually begin as triangle meshes, which are... great for capturing, viewing, and sharing real-world objects. For editing, animation, cleanup, or production workflows, quad-based topology can be much easier to work with. Our Quad-Mesh Retopology helps convert scan meshes into clean quad meshes, making your model easier to edit, optimize, and use across Blender, Maya, game engines, and other 3D workflows.show more

Yeet your slime using a pan! This idea struck... me many moons ago and I had to give it a try. Would you play as the dungeon lord wielding the pan? (each stir grants an attack bonus) #UE5 #gamedev #techart #vfx #realtimevfxshow more

I’ve been showing everyone how seamless and quick payments... can be with WalletConnect Pay using our latest SDK It just works… Scan -> Approve -> Done! My favorite Wallet to demo has been Moneda who did a great job with their iOS release supporting it natively 👌show more

With the recent three-mesh-bvh changes you can finally make... a full scene-wide BVH to accelerate physics, raycasting, etc. And at some point Pathtracing 😁 Its just a prototype so far but it "just works" with objects and batched instances in a single structure. #threejs #gamedevshow more

You can actually interact with the world simulator directly... in the browser. 🤖 Here is a quick screen recording (8x speed) of me playing with it: real-time action-conditioned video prediction across rigid objects, deformable objects, rope, and object piles. Try it yourself (no install required): Huge kudos to my student Yixuan Wang for making the interactive demo happen!show more

In addition to sculpting, Voxel Plugin 2 will have... a fully non-destructive stamp-based workflow In other words: you'll be able to use any mesh you want to shape the terrain, and if you need to move them 6 months later, you can! Here I'm making a simple cave with 3 meshesshow more
