How do you fake volume on a flat sprite? Instead of using the sprite's flat normals, create a cylindrical proxy around it and use the proxy's normals for lighting. Coming to True Alpha in a future update. #Unity3D #MadeWithUnity #GameDev

A sprite standing in water is a textbook example of sorted transparency limitation. Unity can't decide which object is in front of which, can't render them. Order Independent Transparency is the fix. Coming to True Alpha in a future update. #Unity3D #MadeWithUnity #GameDev

Why do billboarded sprites sometimes clip through the floor? Because the sprite pivot is rarely at its very bottom. A common 2.5D game dev problem. This grounding correction fixes the depth of the lower part of the sprite. Coming to True Alpha in a future update. #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev

When billboarded sprites tilts, they can clip into walls. Correcting the pixels depth let the sprite appears in front of them as you'd expect. This isn't in True Alpha yet. It's a feature I'm working on for a future update. #Unity3D #MadeWithUnity #GameDev

Unity doesn't let us make our own Shader Graph targets? Make one anyway! For True Alpha, I needed a way to let users create their own transparent shaders using Shader Graph, so I injected my own properties in the graph's stack. #Unity3d #MadeWithUnity #GameDev

Just released: True Alpha Refraction, advanced transparency effects for URP. It’s an add-on for True Alpha Transparency that brings refraction, blur, and chromatic aberration straight to the OIT pipeline, bypassing limitations of the usual RTT method. #unity3d #gamedev

Another demonstration of Order Independent Transparency. Even the classic cross-quads trick fails with sorted transparency because intersecting geometry can't be sorted. It is typically done with alpha cutout, making it look pixelated and cheap. #Unity3D #MadeWithUnity #GameDev

Ever wonder why transparent objects look glitchy in games? Game engines sorts transparent objects by camera distance, which fails on complex and intersecting geometry. Order-Independent Transparency (OIT) fix it. #Unity3D #MadeWithUnity #GameDev

Hair rendering with Order Independent Transparency. Hair are typically rendering using Alpha Clipping and it doesn't look good. Transparency produce much better results. #unity #unity3d #gamedev

Playable characters? (art not made by me) #gamedev #pixelart #touhou

Art style test for face sets. Reiuji is the artist's favorite. (art not by me) #gamedev #touhou

Does this art style do justice to the original? (art not made by me) #gamedev #pixelart #touhou

Transparent clothing with Order Independent Transparency. You can't do that with conventional rendering techniques. #unity #unity3d #gamedev

Just released: True Alpha, perfect transparency for URP. I was not satisfied with existing techniques to render semi transparent objects like hair, foliage or clothes. Sorting fails and cutout is ugly. This is Order Independent Transparency. #unity #unity3d #gamedev

My artist made this. #pixelart #gamedev

Finally got a water shape I like. Lesson learned: use normal maps for ripples instead of small waves or noise. #unity3d #gamedev

Cheap transparent plastic shader. The trick is chromatic aberration, that's what creating the cheap plastic effect. #unity3d #gamedev

The World's largest Wind Turbine 26MW. In its lifetime it will produce the same energy as burning 750,000 tons of coal. That's 44,118 truck loads. Imagine how much money you save... It's 8x cheaper than using Fossil Fuel, were you close?

He's so wise...

I think we just passed oops.

Experimenting with Gerstner waves and it doesn't look good. The high frequency waves makes the surface looks like a grid. What do you use to add details to water surface? Normal maps? Noise? Domain warping the high frequency waves? Any advice would be much appreciated. #unity #madewithunity #gamedev

Transparency effects can be layered on top of each others. #madewithunity #gamedev

Added Blur to my Order Independent Transparency. Combined with refraction, this gives a pretty nice frosted glass effect. #unity #gamedev

Order Independent Transparency evolved into Order Independent Refraction. No render to texture needed. #unity3d #gamedev

Continuing my work on Order Independent Transparency. Because who doesn't want to render a swim ring in URP? I do. #unity3d #gamedev

Years ago I experimented with order independent transparency. I found a way to increase performances. Still experimental but it has potential since regular rendering techniques can't handle intersecting transparent objects like hairs, clothes, fur, feathers or water. #GameDev #MadeWithUnity

That's the guy, folks. That's the one. www.404media.co/stripe-forbi...

Stripe Forbids Sex Work, But Profits From Non-Consensual Porn

Stripe is processing payments for sites that produce nonconsensual AI porn while denying service to actual sex workers and people in the adult entertainment industry.
