and occasionally write tutorials~
(might post some #gamedev too!)

🧵 breakdown thread of the Halo energy shield vfx!

(there's a couple approaches you could take for this, and a lot of optimisations possible for each part, so take this more as a general 'approach' than a specific step-by-step!)

Feel like I haven't shared anything in a while - probably because progress has been pretty slow on my current project. Might try posting more WIP stuff 👀

Dungeon.

I really need to get back to this and make more tiles and scenes :D
3D render of a tiny dungeon that appears to be made of plasticine or clay. There's a couple of goblins and slimes, scattered golden coins, spike tiles, torches and plants.

Quick and dirty test for some TotK-inspired "fluid" motion on volumetric height fog ☁

Rendering the sphere on a buffer with top-down projection and using that buffer on a custom RT that displaces and blends it with itself in order to leave a distorted trail
