You paint, we deliver!

Placing trees on the painted areass by generating points with a halton sequence and then filtering the generated points with a thresholded noise function to create gaps between the trees

Gamifying our fire system! The fire propagation logic was too hard to tweak, so now fire is created directly by invisible particles instead. Works like a charm!

We have a burning edge, using a step function and some noise. Some pixels end up very bright, and some black. This creates strong aliasing effects.

Using the derivative (fwidth), we can do sub-pixel smoothing and also get back some details!

coloring our paper models, using the earlier color blending approach applied to the parts individually

Fake stop-motion using custom playable clips in the timeline. The randomness and posterization have their place, but floating objects feel a little off.

If anyone has good resources on faking stop-motion, hmu!

I have a dissipation effect using a geometry shader: replaces triangle with a billboard particle.

Allows precise particle placement and performs relatively well, but lacks flexibility: same shader for mesh & particles, no shader graph, no vfx graph.

They're so hot.. they're literally burning a hole in the ground!

Now we can spawn particles at exactly the right place!

1. A low-res simulation, sampled into high-res tex array, +noise
2. VFX graph samples high-res tex array to spawn particles
3. Mesh samples texture for edge color and alpha clipping

It's trying to tell me something?

A technical test for an effect we need: spawning particles in a VFX graph, using an array of textures
