Looks like integers / 3 % with extra spacing the higher you go?
Maybe cause these are intended to be used with the scroll wheel and you want the same action at higher zoom percentages to have more impact?

Figuring out particle adjacency so I can derive normals for the dynamic mesh.

each color line points to one of it's 4 neighbours (if it has any)

One of my first VFXs from 2025! It was fun :D It was for the ‘dark’ challenge on the RealtimeVFX forum.

WIP ! Crafting a new FX for a Soul Spectral bow & arrow FX with @simonboelpaep.bsky.social 🏹.

Swipe to see the little journey from Storyboard to ongoing production.

Aiming for that ghostly vibe by blending meshes from #houdini into #niagara 👻.

More to come !

Hello World! 👋

I’m Florian, a 3D / FX Artist fresh out of CGAcademy (BE). New here :
www.artstation.com/beerman_74

My focus? Blending Houdini’s procedural power with Unreal Engine’s real-time capabilities.

I’ll be sharing my R&D and finished projects here

A personal piece. I want to create a buff or heal with a sea theme.
It's fun to try to make water look more semi-realistic.

And I remembered I have an account here - -;;

More niagara dynamic mesh experiments.

Unfortunately the interpolation of the normals is super noticeable which kinda breaks the illusion.

good question but not quite. The dynamic mesh di let's us allocate and define meshes at runtime, so I'm actually writing the positions into the vertex buffer.

Render target + wpo would work just as well for this specific case though, I believe.
