6 Years in the industry and I still get really bad imposter syndrome - I think it slowly gets lesser over time but I'll let you know when that happens

You can use the depth buffer with a bump offset function to mask sprites by depth and conform them to the geometry. This is especially convenient for dynamic fake light, UI elements, character damage effectsโ€ฆ #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine #gamedev #vfx

I'll let you in on a little secret about radar. What do I pass to the radar material so that it shows different numbers of objects and their positions? I create a small 64x64 RTD R8 texture in which I draw dots #UnrealEngine #UE5 #tips #gamedev #indiedev

A Photoshop workflow trick for those who still partake;

You can name your layers with ".PNG" or ".jpg" on the end and go to
File>Generate>Image Assets
or
File>Automate>Generator Plugins>Image Assets.

It will create a new folder in the PSD's location with those things and will auto export them

Continuing on creating a character. I think I'll tackle hair and variations of this base model next.

Shannon McSheehan - LoL FX + Knowledge Share Edit: New thumbnail! I wonder how it will lookโ€ฆ Heyo FX buddies! Over the past few years Iโ€™ve been working at Riot Games on League. I havenโ€™t posted much and want to change that. I made a demo reel...

If you want to so some swirly things you could make some simple meshes in the shape of the swirls you want, and then pan a texture over them - might do what you want.
This thread by Shannon on Realtimevfx has useful info to achieve this kind of thing (and more!).

For questions about how I handle Weight Paint on my rigs, I usually just use empty vertex groups with weight 1.0 to rig this mechanical meshes.

Didn't realise that, that's good to know! I think a large amount of it is from all the starter packs :)

A PS2-spec character in a blue-gray poncho with a puffer jacket feel to it. There's lots of dirt and grime around the edge and the textures are very low res and pixelated.

Definitely feeling pretty satisfied with this

I'll probably return to it in a few days to put some finishing touches, but I need to look at something else for a while

I really love how quickly characters at this spec can come together
