BeeForgeStudios made this short 12-step breakdown showing how the painterly shader for Tapestry works. 🎨 See more from them: www.instagram.com/beeforgestud... #gamedev #shader #vfx #indiegame #indiedev

Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64) comparisons between texture and vertex colors only across various different scenes. Heavy outdoor vertex color usage, while very conservative indoors (as opposed to Banjo-Kazooie). #N64

Check out this real-time Ivy growing and branching across the surface, all running on the GPU using Niagara, U5. 🌿 Here's how it works: jettelly.com/blog/real-ti... #unrealengine #vfx #realtimevfx #gamedev #niagara

A little lava flowmap test from yesterdays stream, needs more work but I like where it's going #gamedev

Playing with making an image appear slowly with the values of the RGB #godotEngine

depth-based scanner

today's work on mysterious desert generator™️ - improved voronoi-based rivers! - smooth out cliffs near rivers (spiky mountains🙅‍♂️) - grassy textures (vertex paint mask) near rivers - character/camera controller???👀 #madewithunity #gamedev

Love happy accident in 3D 🥹 Randomly just found a way to add details in transition values and shadows!

Figured out a fun way to paint stylized wood grain textures using Gradient Maps (it's in Gimp as well as Photoshop, afaik). Just use a big soft brush and paint! You can also use blur, smudge, and gradients. It's like painting the history of a tree! 🌳😌🕊️ #gamedev #indiedev

rainy material study

Nanite Programmable Path seems too costly to consider WPO for the most basic things... Uh, I don't like it. Feels like everything I'm tempted to do as a tech artist is no longer an option. Moving vertices used to be cheap :( So here's a hacky NO-WPO prototype 🧵

Shell texturing feels like magic, 10 layers here and a shader graph shader. For a new prototype #gamedev #indiedev

Spline's GPU sampling allows you to scatter large numbers of points without putting pressure on the CPU. UE PCG doesn’t currently support it, but you can build your own sampler in HLSL. #UE5 #PCG #HLSL #TechArt

Dynamic mesh di testing

Working on a portal effect. It is a modified version of @binbun3d.bsky.social's portal vfx. The "other side" of the portal is just a cubemap texture, as I want to be able to look through the portal from both sides. #GodotEngine #VFX #Shader #GameDev #IndieDev

I've been working on a tool for my godot game to create waterfalls based on the collision of the terrain, still have a lot of refinement to do, + tuning features and additional effects (like base splashes) I'm planning to add to the tool, but I'm already pretty happy with the results its producing!

cooking a lil n64-style demo scene 🌼

(Poorly compressed) 2D Pixel art lighting engine

Lenticular lens shader Lenses are raymarched right now, but I'll try analytical ray intersections later. After getting the refracted direction, I do a ray plane intersection. Calculate the expected ray direction for a given position on the plane under each lens, then raymarch a 3D scene.

Been working on AutoTile for GridMap in godot, and I think it is time to share the result. It works the same as AutoTile in Tilemap 2D, but you don't need to create 256 unique tiles in this case. Check it out here: github.com/damarindra/g... #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Made a quick utility to auto-generate a rope tightly wrapped around arbitrary geometry. Supports odd shapes and multiple objects. Had the idea for this simple algorithm while taking a walk, and it worked a lot better than expected.🪢 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Bright Cel-shading in a dull setting is my passion

A #vfx experiment I did a while back. #GodotEngine It still makes me thirsty watching it. 🌊🤤🥛

Starting to have a nice little tool here 🚀! It now supports inverting what's inside/outside (see end of the video) to make plateaux or canyons. And also changing the height and the side wall shape and depth! #GodotEngine

[Content Warning: Cartoon Gore] Dynamic wound masking. It was surprisingly trivial to set up. Limiting it to one wound location as I'm using Primitive Mesh Data and it takes up 4 of my 32 total vars. #CherubArt #UE5 #GameDev #Bunny

I've simplified the edge detection, where it now only looks if any surrounding pixels are further in depth. The edge then is darkened depending on how much further it is. This leads to a softer overall look that I like. #ScreenshotSaturday #GodotEngine #GameDev #Shaders
