I was lucky to make a presentation with Rémi Chapelain that covers different graphic techniques, tools, and features in Unity 6. If you’re interested in shaders, advanced usage of VFX graphs, or multiple portal mask techniques, you can now watch it here:

The Ugly Truth About Spotify Is Finally Revealed A year-long investigation by an indie journalist is a call to action

The Ugly Truth About Spotify is that Spotify hires fake bands to produce bland unmemorable pap and promotes the songs on the algorithms, reaping enormous profits while real artists get pennies.

Testing the new collision's features in VFX Graph, I made this cheap Katamary sample. Meshes are GPU particles, that stick and orient to the sphere. The Collider radius is driven by the sticky particle count stored in a tiny buffer. Thanks @shadi3st.bsky.social for the help on particle's orient.😁

Tech Art of Wizard with a Gun - Mixing 2D/3D Every single visual trick we used to create a hybrid 2D and 3D environment.

I wrote this technical art post some time ago on mixing 3D and 2D for Wizard with a Gun. Seeing a lot of games come out with this art style lately, probably inspired by Octopath Traveler and similar games.
