🐟 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 #UnrealEngine

A great way to cheaply fake lighting on particles is using a sphere mask in world space. If you add a Vector3 to the Object Position node, it can be offset to any desired position #gamedev #VFX #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine5 #UnrealEngine

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 #UnrealEngine5

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 #UE5

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 #UE5

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 #UnrealEngine

Neat realtime VFX trick by TUATARA ➡️ Gamescom : combine depth masking with bump offset to project sprites onto geometry while preserving scene depth. Great for fake lighting, UI indicators, hit impacts, and damage overlays—simple idea, tons of mileage. #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine

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 #VFX

Managed to create a procedural fish swarm system with KineFX. Still need some tweaks on the speed-ramps and rotation smoothing 🐟🐠 #houdini #3D #animation

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 #realtimevfx

I made a fish tracking system inspired by the Miiverse on the Wii — blow the whistle and they all line up! Still figuring out what icons to use for each species. They need to be super simple and readable at tiny sizes. Got any ideas?🐟🐬 #gamedev #indiegame

🤗Another breakdown from an older project made for Lands of Noara . It was one of my first 2D VFX on a shot and a great project to direct and work on. I also made the motion design. Animated by the fantastic Makadam #blender #animation #3D #p2design

I wanted to see how far AI could take a cute animated story, so I turned a simple fantasy idea into a cinematic 3D animation with MiniMax Design. From character design and story development to magical environments, smooth animation, lighting, VFX, and the final magical moment, the AI-driven workflow helped bring the whole concept together. The best part It feels less like generating random clips and more like actually creating and directing an animated short film. Unlimited #MiniMaxH3 on Runway

Normal to you? Look closely.. because it's not, this is a result of geoengineering and frequency being used together! There is no better way to see what we are dealing with than from the up close and personal view out of an aircraft window, as here in a flight over London

Math says the Big Bang made matter and antimatter in equal halves. They should have erased each other into light, leaving no one to see it. And yet, you exist, because nature miscounted by one part in a billion. Math says nothing forbids a particle from outrunning light. The equations hand it an imaginary mass and let it through. And yet, in a century of looking, not one has ever shown up. Math says you can have a north without a south. Break a magnet, isolate the pole. And yet break it a trillion times, you get a trillion little magnets, each with both ends intact. The universe reads the math and decides what it’s willing to be.

i have this mostly automated with a bunch of bash scripts, and now i've got it set up to ping my phone each time a shot is finished this way i can go to the park or an art gallery and still be making a movie
