I've added some user requested features to the #UnrealVDB plugin, including QoL improvements, more control, more console variables, custom VDB AOVs with MRQ and temperature color ramp which could be used in many different ways. #unreal #ue5 #realtimeVFX

Thanks for implementing the ramp so swiftly!

Alex Leiva3 years ago

This is great! Thank you

James Parker3 years ago

Is there anyway to set up the VDBs so they respond to point lights?

Thibault Lambert3 years ago

Sadly no, I only sample the first directional light.

eugene Flormata3 years ago

there a cvar or something to get these to render after dof?

Thibault Lambert3 years ago

Hey sorry about the late reply. I think Vdb.AfterTranslucent will do the trick, it would be nice if you could confirm. This variable is read at engine startup only so it needs to be in one of your .ini file.

Brandon D. Porter3 years ago

Hey @LambertTibo . Thanks again for this incredible tool, and the help you’ve provided this far! Re: the new console variables, is there documentation on what they variables are? I looked on the GitHub and only saw release notes. Sorry for the dumb Q!

Thibault Lambert3 years ago

Hi and thanks ! Type ‘help’ in the editor command line and filter results with ‘vdb’. That will show all the available command lines with their explanations. Hope this helps !

Here is a full showcase of my custom Source 2-like light baking and probe implementation for Unreal Engine 5. Features showcased: - Volume based probe system (full density control, fade between volumes with a volume fade slider, automatic volume priority and custom priority overrides) - GPU Lightmass with expanded features like a custom denoiser and overall QOL (like a bake volume which only bakes objects inside the volume for fast prototyping) - Custom Box Capture implementation to make it easier to use (basically just a custom way of scaling the box capture component since its so annoying) - A custom fullbright viewport option for easier map editing (without having to get visual clutter in the way) Will eventually release on FAB as a plugin for UE 5.7. Everything is running inside an Epic Launcher Downloaded version of UE5 in this showcase. #UnrealEngine5 #UE5 #GameDev

DJ Akademiks suggests that 50 Cent's ex could be a more credible witness than Cassie in supporting sex trafficking charges against Diddy. He claims Diddy used rent money as leverage to coerce her into sleeping with Many, many, many, many men, which could strengthen the case.

Showcase: Pitch Motion Mapper for SynthV2 --- What does it do? PMM is a plugin for SV2, which allows users to edit parameters accordingly to their tuning for a more expressive and dynamic output. It takes pitch curves and allows the user to mirror them onto all SV2 parameters in different strengths. It works with the PIT parameter and with the drawn pitch curves!

Last week we conducted the first pre-alpha test for Dremica and it was the most fun I've had in years. Next test Sunday. More things being added to the game and we're going to start testing out some on-chain rewards. SAMA will be the utility token used in Dremica.

Here's a real-time audio-reactive (sound on 🔊) fire sim running in Unreal 5.6. Each of the small emitters is linked to a different frequency of the audio spectrum. I've been experimenting with audio-driven Niagara FX and will be sharing more soon.

6⃣ Main Different Modes of Attention + explanations Can you notice when you are spontaneously in each of these types of attention throughout the week? Most think attention mode 2. is the only way to be concentrated = sustaining engagement with desired phenomena for long periods of time. But actually you can learn to maintain each mode of attention and concentrate in different ways - knowing this radically opens up one’s potential in meditation practice and access to many more states of mind and insights. 🤯 ¡This animation visually illustrates different ways in which attention can behave, but note that these different modes are relevant across the senses (not just with seeing)!

The Fondant Easy Custom Normals addon v2.1.0 is here! Works in Blender 4.3-4.5. I've reworked the Laplacian Smooth Modifier to run on Face Corners, giving us more control and quad mesh support. Also optimizations and new features. No longer needs to run slow triangulation operations. Stability problems are addressed by Momentum Smoothing, which also allows the strength to be scaled up as high as 3 without blowing everything up. So you can do more smoothing in fewer iterations! And there's more control of how things interact with the smoothing. Instead of only choosing how strong it is on a given point, now you can scale the amount it contributes to the smoothing of its neighbors. Or reduce its Original Normal strength to allow it to be overwritten or filled in. These changes and more are all part of the free tier of the addon. Please consider picking up the paid Face Proxy system to support continued development!

Camera motion → character/scene setup → dialogue Visual control for creators like Hashem is vital, which is why we added dedicated camera motion and position features directly in Flow.

A closer look on the GSAP powered animations in Webflow. Just from my perspective. In short, it’s way more powerful than I first thought. The more I use it, the more I like it. Of course, there are some parts missing. But it's the first version. There's still a lot to come. For example, custom ease would already make a huge difference. Breakpoints. Maybe a way to add custom functions as sometimes you need to calculate stuff in JavaScript to get complex animations. The biggest part for me is that you can just build the animation inside a timeline. This makes it so much easier than writing it as code. You can fine tune it so much more. When there would be a way to export the tween as code to add some more functionality would be awesome. You can also add custom classes with the timeline, which can then be used in custom CSS to add more functionality. With a bit of custom code you can also use breakpoints for your animations. By using the custom event the animation can be used in custom code which can also be pretty powerful. Didn’t test it so much yet, but would be cool if you could just take the event and use for example the onComplete() from GSAP or other stuff. For example. let mm = gsap.matchMedia(); const module = Webflow.require("ix3"); module.ready().then(() => { mm.add( { isMobile: "(max-width: 992px)", }, (context) => { let { isMobile } = context.conditions; if (isMobile) { module.emit("Mobile Animation"); } } ); }); "Mobile Animation" is the name of your custom event. I hope that part will get more powerful. Something I miss on the timeline is that when you select more actions you can just drag all actions. It would be cool if you could move it frame by frame with the arrow keys, like in Jitter for example. Or just write a specific point like when you have one selected. For now I would further write the code myself, but I’m excited to see where it’s going. Maybe there will be a time where you could animate most parts inside Webflow 🙂 Can’t wait for the next GSAP update!

This is Enter The Closet My first AI short film made collectively with some of my favorite AI artists and some new faces. I prompted the narrative and asked the AI community to help me visualize the world. This was a fun experimental exercise and I hope to do more in the future. Many tools were used across all 23+ artists including Google Veo 3.1, Nano Banana, Adobe Firefly, Sora 2 Pro, Elevenlabs, Topaz, Luma Ray 3, Kling 2.5, Hailuo 2.3 and more... I'll let them chime in on specific tools used.
