How depth buffer is working is a little bit less mystical to me now, so I created another effect with my custom rendering pipeline tool for Defold - a depth fog: 🌫️ #MadeWithDefold #rendering #vfx #postprocess #gamedev #indiedev #opengl #vulkan

Example from a real project - the building UI made with Defold GUI follows a 3D game object. A small positioning delay is left on purpose to make it look smoother. #defold

Made an example of using world-to-screen coordinate conversion - a GUI element with the player’s name follows the 3D character’s body. Perfectly fits today’s holiday vibes!
