What absolute buffoonery! Balloons only generate static electricity when rubbed on hair.

We've been over this, the shambler needs hair to generate static electricity for his lightning attack.

A little behind the scenes. All shadows are bakes and lighting is all very much faked.

You could treat the midpoint like a point in a bezier curve. Then that value will be guaranteed at that point in the gradient. You would have to generate some handles that make sense based on where you are moving the midpoint.

Looks cool but why not just put it all in 1 shader? /s

If I shared with you I'd have to share with everyone.

Does the triplanar 1 sample dither mess up mip maps? Sometimes when using logic in shaders it makes the ddx ddy go crazy for that pixel quad.

Light probe version is on the back burner as it is kinda ugly, but it does run faster as it doesn't require any filtering after being drawn to the screen.

Also added some rejection algorithms to the temporal blending. The base blending amount is 3% but if the camera is moving a lot, the light changing a lot, or if areas are being exposed or hidden the blending will increase to mitigate ghosting artifacts.

Lighting changes:
Bleeding the lit voxelized geometry instead of just black for light blocking. (more light propagation)
Generating mips for voxel textures for softer cone samples. (more stable)
Below is a view of what a light cone sees VS what the scene looks like.

There is probably more that can be done with the filtering. I want to try doing 1 sample per pixel full res and then breaking the screen into 64 tiles for broad filtering with better cache hits. I saw a research paper about this for AO but I can't find it now.

Perf changes:
Switched from SSAA to MSAA for voxelization.
Skipped distance field as it took too long to generate.
Added a low-res bilateral pre filter before upsample.

Still getting around 90 fps on 1080 GTX. The filtering and cone traces on the screen are expensive so switching to a light probe volume technique will hopefully speed things up and brighten stubborn dark areas.

SEGI is voxel cone trace-ish. As cones get larger it samples coarser cascades.

Also update the voxel visualization shader. Uses the larger cascades like a sparse voxel octree to guess if there is anything in the lower cascades. Some of the normals are gray due to both sides of the cloth getting rendered to the same voxel. And there is a little light leaking from the sun.

Nah, that guy was obviously trying to mess with the EQ. V-shaped or death.

You can also add is to just a part of a character and make a cool invisibility cloak.
