thank youuuuuu

Did a little something to test my new VFX shader. Dare I say I am quite pleased!

UGH Hopefully I can get bottom surgery early and finally get to not be so stressed about saving up anymore.

JK still have to save but at least I'd get some breathing room.

Documentation Purpose:
Calculating camera angle so that the vertical 'light piller' kind of VFX will fades out when viewed from the top or bottom.

I swear it's for referencessss. the vfxs are pretty niceeee.

So regarding where have I been and will be:

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

I have not been here a while and will not be here some more. Turns out dress-up gacha game can sink you time in a day just by things being pretty.

Add more variation to your panning textures by manipulating the UVs for a bulging or pinching effect! This technique is a great way to add more volume and shape to panning textures! #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine #gamedev`

I talk quite openly about how bad it was for me with this industry simply cos saying nothing will not help. Openly showing others support matters always cos many don’t get it ever and I never got much my first decade. This is why I don’t shut up about getting others to give it while they can.

And for the first one: Come Yields of Falls!

(Lightning strike supposedly helps plants grow? I don't know but the yellow sure goes well together.)

(Yes I do Primary/Secondary/Tertiary hues for funsies)

Okay got an art block so I think it's a good excuse to kickstart this.
My #Huevember!
Traditionally you'd paint something every day with a hue assigned to that day, but due to commitments (job basically) and nature of VFX I've decided to do 10 sets of hues as VFX. They're all randomly selected

The feminine urge to get back to rigging again.

Second one is music jumpscare in reel. Please. Don't.

My pet peeve is that when one want to study a VFX from a reference but focus too much on the character/camera animation and not the VFX itself.

Just use plain sphere as a stand in! I want to see clear VFX and see if the fundamentals are there, not an animated short!

Always 💖

Don't make me tap the sign

My condolences

The bulk of the work is dooooone finally some time for my belated [redacted]

Its been fun sharing some of the #GameDev #VFX work that I have worked on recently, so here is a selection from Starship Home which I did earlier this year.

All made using Unity, Amplify #shader editor & Quixel mixer.

(I'm on the look out for work too so DM if you might need something soon)

Unfinished, not rendered out properly, but really please with the progress I'm making on the effects in this combo.

whoa that looks super fun!

The first iridescent flower looks soooo good I wanna eat it!

Kinda want to toot my own horn a bit but I'm SO happy the 'are you really good enough' part of my particular kind of Imposter Syndrome has been in regression to the point I don't have the thought anymore.

It's nice to keep myself busy with what I CAN and not what I cannot.

Alpha erosion too. That thing makes thousands dreams come true lol.

I think both are equally important, though I personally think there’re more room to explore regarding poisonous color.
