Gomorrah

Breakdown 7
The heart of the project went through countless iterations until I gave in and gave raymarching a spin with custom HLSL code. Faking liquid is not the easiest task, but it came out quite nicely! What do you think?

-> In substance designer.
It's not "baked" to any specific asset but "just" a 3D texture

Yup! Using the 3D noise and applying a curl warp per (z)layer to get 3D tiling curl noise 🙌

Breakdown 6
The idea was to create the illusion of dense smoke that evaporated from the liquid and collected at the top of the bottle. A tiling curl noise flipbook animation and a bit of subsurface scattering for translucency - voilá!

Breakdown 5
Believe it or not, it’s actually volumetric smoke! Very localized to the inside of the potion bottle. A scrolling 3D curl noise texture achieves animation of smoke! And you guessed it, layering does the job again!

Thank you! :)

Breakdown 4
The project's background features hand-painted textures, creating a painterly backdrop similar to Dariya Demchenko's concept. A vignette spotlights the main motive.

Breakdown 3
Trails are actually simple to set up, but since I wanted all trails to be rendered with one emitter only for optimization reasons, I had to work some math and logic!
Did you know that I hand-painted all trail textures?

@vfxlabs.net Yoo, I remember you asking how I did this effect! Well this is it :D

Breakdown 2
The flame effect is quite simple, but the desired 3D look is only achieved by meticulously layering multiple layers. This makes the effect work, no matter the camera position!
Can you feel the magic burning?

“Call me Bubbles, darling, everybody does!”
This is the bubble effect broken down into the different stages.
As you can see, it’s rather simple but nicely complements the main liquid effect.

The Liquid effect is the heart of the whole project!! It's made with custom #HLSL code and topped with bursting bubbles for the drama!
What do you think?

I achieved the flame and trail effect by carefully layering flame meshes and trails!
How do you like the effect?

The dense smoke is actually a tiling flipbook animation!
Did I manage to create the illusion of dense smoke?

This is the money shot of my newest art project, which you can find on my Artstation (link in bio).
Multiple disciplines came together to forge this animated picture.

This was a personal experimental playground that turned into a portfolio project. I pushed my own boundaries when it came to creating #VFX in #MadeWithUnreal!
The whole project is on my ArtStation now (link in bio)!
Please tell me how you like it!!

Now that my project is done, I have had the time to try out #IlluGen!
I made a #procedural sword slash mesh and #texture #effect for a test case.

What do you say?

The time has finally come…
I have been waiting for this moment, and at last the date has been set: Sep 10th!
I’m excited to share a glimpse of the potion I have been brewing!
Can you guess what it is?

Thank you so much! It's part of a bigger project and I'm planning to post an extensive breakdown of everything once it's all done :)

Today, I want to share a demo of a real-time magic flame #VFX that I created in #UnrealEngine5 using #Niagara. While small, this effect is a crucial detail in my upcoming project, and I wanted to ensure it felt right when viewed from the side and top.

Hello VFX people, and belated Happy New Year!
Today, I am going to share a small work in progress of my work on a larger (personal) project.

This has the potential to make bsky so much nicer for artists and help eliminate customers from being scammed by fake artists

Let me show you how it works ⬇️⬇️⬇️

A grey and white table titled: Formulas for Photoshop blending modes The subtitle says: Originally created by Rogelio Bernal Andreo "While some of the formulas are precisely what Photoshop does, others are just an approximated guess." What follows are rows of blend modes, including their forumlas, their commutavity, and additional info. A link to the full webpage with machine readable text is available at: https://web.archive.org/web/20210526073530/http://www.deepskycolors.com/archive/2010/04/21/formulas-for-Photoshop-blending-modes.html This link will also be posted in the replies.

Shader Artists!
Here's a super handy reference for the formulas behind Photoshop's blending modes✨

Actually neither :) I am distorting a flame shape texture with a flow/distortion texture (two actually to break repetition). I'm controlling the strength of the distortion with dynamic parameters in Niagara to distort it with varying intensities that causes these lovely flame licks ^^

Wohey! To celebrate moving to this platform and to say hi to all the followers flying in, I sketched up a small but cozy flame effect in #niagara #unrealengine5 #VFX

It is great to meet you all, and I am looking forward to connecting more and sharing more of my work when the time comes :)

Hello 🎀
Here is my starter pack for my girls and womens 🩵

Thank youuu! I'm so hyped :D

If there is still some space on said list, I would like to join :)

It's a secret 🤫 my personal project where I follow (almost) every rabbit hole 😅 I hope I can finish it this year but with breakdown and presentation I doubt I can publish it in 2024 still. But I also won't stress about it 😶‍🌫️
On the other hand, I wanna post something so I might do something quick :D

We are! But I don't have anything to post yet ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌
But I'm working on something!
