Filling the gaps among splats with meshes or ray-marched surfaces. The data & acceleration structures are already there. Doing both splats & fill in one single pipeline is cheaper than doing them in two separate pipelines. #MudBun #GameDev #MadeWIthUnity #VFX

PSA: my vector graphics library for Godot and Unity is currently free on itch. I’m in desperate need of feedbacks please do try it out! #gamedev #indiedev #godot #unity3D

I kept trying to geometrically solve blurry materials due to vertex interpolation at zero-blend brush boundaries, but to no avail. Here's a simple but effective alternative: resolving materials in the fragment shader. #MudBun #GameDev #MadeWithUnity #VFX

Destructive field stamping. There's only one active constructive brush, destructively stamping into a sparse signed distance field. Good for sculpting complex SDFs without blowing up constructive brush budgets. #MudBun #MadeWithUnity #GameDev #VFX

MudBun 2.0 in the works (still in early stages). Rect tool. Multi-renderer. #MudBun #GameDev #MadeWithUnity #VFX

Long over-due full documentation for Boing Kit, my bouncy VFX tool for Unity. No longer just a short quick guide & a few disjointed readme text files. Docs: longbunnylabs.github.io/boing-kit/ Store page: assetstore.unity.com/packages/too... #BoingKit #GameDev #VFX #MadeWithUnity

When you spot a typo…

Alright. In my next project I'm going to have separate point & vector types, as they should be. We have this at work in our C++ engine and I can't go back. This guards against things like accidentally adding together two Vector3's that represent points. #GameDev #MadeWithUnity

Interesting choice of image, AI.

Inverting normals can come in handy for shaping interior spaces more intuitively. #MudBun #GameDev #MadeWithUnity #VFX

GPU-based auto-smoothing was fun to implement. Adjacency is constructed by spatially hashing & adding coinciding verts to a shared list. Then each vert's normal is updated to be a weighted avg. of similar normals of verts in the same list. #MudBun #GameDev #MadeWithUnity #VFX

Ray-marched surface, take 2. Not sure why it's so much brighter than regular meshing. Even dual contouring can't beat this because it's the ground truth. Voxel density affects the proxy mesh complexity but doesn't change the visuals. #MudBun #MadeWithUnity #GameDev #VFX

Take 1 was in 2021, and this time I have some ideas to make it more performant.

Another one. Blending between surface nets or dual contouring and intermediate dual quads never gets old. The mesh is constructed & animated by sampling triangle noise with scrolling spherical coordinates. #MudBun #GameDev #MadeWithUnity #VFX

Quick & easy way to get dithered transparency to look more convincing on overlapping transparent objects: throw unique object hash/ID into the mix for noise seed. #GameDev #MadeWithUnity

Transparency blend & splat size blend. #MudBun #GameDev #MadeWithUnity #VFX

Sometimes it's desired to jitter splat orientation. With high-frequency noise though, the normals might appear to be too noisy. A blend back to the original normals can help, in the same vein as normal transfer techniques for foliage in games. #MudBun #GameDev #MadeWithUnity #VFX

More documentary of the shelved experimental ray-traced voxel render mode. Splat size was used as a proxy for rendered voxel size. Had to speed up the video to fit within bsky's limit. #MudBun #GameDev #MadeWithUnity #VFX
