2/10 💎 The AavegotchiDAO Foundation has launched! This marks a giant leap towards decentralization. Kudos to our nine elected multi-sig members for making this happen.🎉 🎉
3/10 🛠️ Decentralizing workflows with @thrivecoinhq! A pilot program is launched with an allocated 40,000 GHST. We aim to empower our community members to contribute and be rewarded!
Slicing ANY mesh (visual) with 2 lines of HLSL.
if (dot(worldPos - planePos, planeNorm)) > 0.0
discard (the pixel, or clip alpha) ⭕🌠
Mesh back faces can be stencil masked with the plane to 'project' a texture as the clipped surface.

Shader uses the system's custom vertex stream to read per-particle data, which can then be used to create variation and dissolve over time for each one.

Using time quantization (rounding to nearest discrete steps to force a specific update framerate) to give it a more traditionally-animated look. 📈
Looks like it's squirting fire. I should add more particles. Embers, smoke, and such. 🔥

Quantized time + colour gradients would be useful for styling and that toon look.
You could use it as a trail attached to either your mouse or a particle system. Imagine using it with this effect?

Using Unity to make an interactive art thing for an elementary school STEAM (science, tech, engineering, arts, math) event - progress thread! 👇
Context: My wife is a K-5 art teacher, I ocassionally help out with events to show kids how games and art overlap. For the STEAM event, she asked me to run a "tech" booth. Usually the booths are some sort of craft/interactive thing, and I have a big screen to work with!
Project requirements: Create a cool *thing* that showcases technology. Any input/activity needs to be simple enough for a 5 year old. We're expecting a few hundred kids to come through the booth over 3 hours. I have a big screen and a lot of table space.
Error messages are like the unsung heroes of game development, but did you know that a good one can save your player's experience? 💾

As a developer you are probably writing lots of error messages while developing your game. But do you pay attention to crafting them in a way so they are really helpful to players?
Let's start by talking about what makes a bad error message actually bad:
Let's start by talking about what makes a bad error message actually bad:
- [ Too Generic ] -
It's generally a bad idea to just add a generic title to all your error messages. "Something went wrong" is telling your player exactly nothing about what happened.
And that's particularly bad as it increases frustration and confusion.

First of all I want to point out the importance of clear and consistent versioning of your game builds. Keeping track of changes and updates is essential for ensuring that your game is stable, efficient, and easy to understand for both the development team and the players.
Typically a game version is made up of 3 to 4 elements, like 1.0.14 or 1.3.74.8.
You can basically break them down as follows: [Major].[Minor].[Patch].[Build]

I've recently updated my #VFXGraph additions package with a few new features.
#realtimeVFX #unity3d
🔗: github.com/peeweek/net.pe…
1) Navigator panel that enables searching the graph for nodes, events, blocks and/or contexts.

2) Advanced VFX Event Tester that enables setting up and saving pre-configured test environments for sending events (and Event Attributes)
3) Last but not least (this is a wanted one), two new C# Spawn Blocks that help handling multiple events sent at the same frame. Burst Multiplex FIFO and Rate Multiplex FIFO : Not the panacea, as it doesnt't scale with large amounts of events, but helps for simple cases.

Like w/ any Realtime Shading Feature, the best solutions balance Fidelity, Workflow, & Performance.
The general problem with linework in games comes down to Texture res vs. Memory, and Compression-artifacts/Pixelation—especially if players can get really close to objects.

Increasing texture-res for each asset, even with optimal UVs, just doesn’t move the needle enough to be practical. It would also have major fidelity issues on low-spec hardware, mobile, etc. So just drawing the lines was a no-go:
ex: Look at them gnarly pixels😱

Some Unity users and even moderators within Unity community are infected with the futile ideology of waiting for Godot! This must be fixed! Let me explain why.

As you may know, Unity recently merged with ironSource: blog.unity.com/news/welcome-i…
This created a mass hysteria on Unity forums. Because of this, Unity folks were heavily discussing Godot there to consider switching to as an alternative to Unity, so I decided to share my perspective there:

Unity's example does a hack to inverse the matrix on the shader, but it doesnt work in the general case

Perfect edge detection for Unreal & Unity. It's painful adjusting Depth/Normal thresholds and rendering still misses edges or picks up artifacts. The solution is a perfect input map like the colors you see here. Project files in the thread📂🧵👇 #UnrealEngine #unity3d #gamedev
Vertex colors on the models make for a perfect screen space texture for identifying and shading edges. The IDMapper Blender addon quickly identifies similar geometry, and lets you tweak the level of detail blendermarket.com/products/idmap…
Rendering the vertex colors to a texture and then sampling it for edges is a well covered topic, here is my approach for both engines. Unreal Engine 4: github.com/chrisloop/UE4_…. Unity 2020 HDRP: github.com/chrisloop/HDRP…
Playing around with some very fake yet still vaguely convincing rope physics
the rope is a quadratic Bezier curve whose middle handle (gray dot) is attached to a spring/damper to a fixed point (red dot) some distance below the midpoint of the two ends depending on the amount of slack in the rope.
If the slack is negative, the spring constant is increased for a nice tightening/vibrating effect.

Rain Ripples with normals yayyy☔️
No flipbooks or particles used:D Also already have ideas on how to remove the tiling for example. (Full explanation in the comments~)

I didn't really liked the approach of using a large flipbook or a realtime rendered texture for rain. Kinda seems overkill for such a small effect. Also the flipbook approach has a limited framerate on top.
But then it hit me, that a single ripple could easily be recreated with good old polar coordinates! But that's just for one ripple only, right? Well then take a look at this little texture here to the left:'D
Finally! Here it is - my free #UE5 Lumen and Nanite compatible toon shader. 3 methods for cel shading, 7 methods for outlines, and a custom function example. 🧵Breakdown thread below (1/15) 👇github.com/chrisloop/Unre… #UnrealEngine5 #gamedev
This is an unlit surface shader. The diffuse and specular colors are based on the main directional light in the scene. Very consistent results, but we can do more... (2/15) #UnrealEngine #GameDev #ToonShader

Some background on how I'm rendering the water line, because it's almost arcane 🪄 #unity3d
The key goal is figuring out if a certain pixel on the screen is above, or below water. This in turn can be used to apply effects to a specific part of the screen.
The key goal is figuring out if a certain pixel on the screen is above, or below water. This in turn can be used to apply effects to a specific part of the screen.
I've tried a bunch of different things, none worked reliably, or were prohibitively expensive. Witcher 3 has this, so technically was possible! What ended up working flawlessly is rendering a subdivided plane directly on the camera's plane, then animating it.
Finding the point where it intersects with the water took the most effort, since it needs to account for any kind of camera rotation, aspect ratio and FoV. The green debug line represents this point. Started with a script here, easier to debug, then translated the math to HLSL.
