Some more content from the lecture.
A nice little energetic aura charge vfx =)

I'm currently holding a lecture at the university of applied sciences Darmstadt. So I thought why not post some of the effects I created for this.
Task: Create an effect only made out of cubes and a basic material. Inspired by this amazing cubes study artstation.com/artwork/zP8Vdq

Another "unexpected" behavior for this #VFXFriday
If frac() just leaves the fractional part of the number why is the result not this mirrored gradient that we'd expect?
Because what is happening under the hood is x -floor(x)!
So for example frac(-0.1) is -0.1 - (-1) = 0.9 🤯

There are a couple different ways to get the expected result. The clamp approach dosen't work if max<min though.
My Remap Range (Safe) material function is basically what UE uses in Niagara.

Why this is happening is pretty straight forward. Because the input range isn't clamped to the desired old range it gives you values outside that range.

The Remap Value Range node in UEs material editor is lying to you!!!
Well - at least it can give you results you might not expect.
So whats going on here and how to "fix" it?

They also come in big walls that willll zap you real good ⚡💀⚡

Time to be more active on this platform 🙌
