Some stylized lightning practice. Made the textures using material maker. The more I look at them the more I realise how little they look like lightning :laughing:

A while ago I participated in the challenge from the technical art discord server, I made some vfx and a cloud shader for the theme solarpunk. I forgot to post about it here!

Here is a short video:

Another thing I forgot to post about was this game I made with friends for a gamejam, from the same discord server. I was working on the vfx:

Thanks! And yeah, I have a spherical mask around a point and apply rotation around an axis to the vertices multiplied by that mask. The intensity, rotation, axis and mask size is animated in the timeline :tornado:

It’s been a while since I made anything! While I’m slowly trying to find it fun again, here are the recent experiments.

The first one is some sort of chromatic abberration-ish offset that follows the mouse, I thought it could be fun to have something like that for some buttons when they are begin dragged so I tried it and it was alright

This one is just a beam, quite boring, but I wanted to just do whatever and see what’s gonna happen. I only used normal maps for colours again :new_moon:

Hi, I gave a short explanation in this message

if you need a more in-depth guide I can make one, but it might take a bit. I’ll try to cook something up this week tho

That beam is tasty :eyes:

Seeing @LauraVFX 's ExplosionsTober and everyone’s sketchook posts was inspiring so I thought I’ll try something as well. I am well behind, and I do not expect to finish all of the promps from the ExplisionTober. I might choose a couple of the promps I like and finish them, we’ll see. Here is the first one - Concrete.

It’s a simple one to get things going, I didn’t do anything worth talking about here. It’s using one smoke flipbook for all of the smoke, unity’s default distortion, cube is fractured suing Cell Fracture addon in Blender then recorded the explosion using Unity’s built-in Recorder so it’s easier to work with.

Some references I found useful for this:
