Added as update to my Diablo 3 Health Bubbles post. This is the 12th update I added, and I recommend looking at all of them. So many fantastic examples!

Gamer friends.

If you read one book this year, make sure it's Dungeon Crawler Carl!

I cannot recommend this book enough. Imagine mixing Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy with Diablo, DnD and Futurama.

It's absolutely pure joy.

I make a simple script where you can control infinite particle post-behavior. Say, you want to spawn one particle and control its behavior after it reaches a certain lifetime or its lifecycle slider elapses. It helps me smoothening out the effect (like using dissolve) instead of it flashing-out.

This is a mostly unhelpful breakdown of how I created the Fire/Lava VFX for Deathwing in Heroes of the Storm. People seemed to enjoy it though!

I have not had to use it yet before but I've seen others struggle! ๐Ÿ˜ญ

That would be a good idea! I could probably manage some ue5 videos on that but would have to dig around a bit in unity to figure out the debug tools there.

That seems like a big one too. I feel like it's hard to make a catch all solution since it varies per project but definitely some know how or tips around the subject would be nice. There's a bit out there but not much.

I have a friend with some crazy UV math stuff I should get him to post them.

What's something #vfx artists wish they had more learning material available on? I personally can never get enough of watching other people's hand drawn flipbooks process or fun shader tricks. Just curious what others think?

My first published game. I started as 3D Artist but for the Addon I started doing some VFX on the side.
