Hornet's face will also make use of the new Smirk version to make the eyes as flexible as possible.

So when I release the 4.5 update for SMIRK I'll also release the Hornet Rig with it!

Wow that is super cool! The results look so hand drawn I didn't even expect them to be wave textures.

Since 5.0 has repeat zones now maybe you could make this even more flexible with random values per iteration too. I gotta try this out. Thanks for the insight, Goose!

Nice! Using a real crosshatch texture as part of the procedural shader probably gives a lot better results compared to making it fully procedural with a wave texture and all.

Though I think the gabor texture is worth trying out, has a lot of natural feeling aspects to it!

Upcoming features for SMIRK
currently working on a few that are taking some time

Adaptive Subdiv + Cutout Mesh
Combined you can basically fake booleans and cut a hole without using the shader
And it's faster/more stable than boolean!

Thanks!

Testing out some posing with #Hornet.

The rig should be flexible enough to recreate some of the in-game sprites and cut-scene animations.
Especially when animating to camera

I love Pact with God! This fits so well. Absolutely crazy visuals

Oh yeah, Baby Hornet will be possible with this rig as well

Coming Soon!

#b3d #blender #Silksong #hornet #hollowknight

The cloak for my #Hornet Rig will be powered by #geometrynodes

Folds, waviness and shape can be tweaked and even animated procedurally!

Still working on the Cloak and face even more so I will show more soon

Sold his soul for maximum coolness

...and yet some things never change

Metamorphosis is painful.

can you even recognize yourself anymore?

Thank you! Rim lighting is my jam

The actual cloak is finally starting to take form.

I'm experimenting with some procedural generation to give more control over the folds

(And I finally finished most of the game so I can actually start working on this again)

This might actually be intended behavior. It's a defense mechanism the default cube evolved over the last few versions

Thank you!

It should be more accurate and comes with less overhead Some features could maybe be backported to 4.5

#Blender 5.0 is shaping up to be huge with lots of improvments to the compositor so I've been working on a newer version of my Instant Dither Node!

This version of it is actually a node I proposed for Blender's upcoming Essential Compositor Assets.

More modes yet smaller!

yess, I think mechanics that aren't simply cause and effect but can be chained together in creative but intuitive ways are a great recipe for memorable and addicting gameplay!

Yeah the difficulty of measuring it probably comes with the complexity of all things coming together! For platforming, human error gets accounted for with coyote time etc. But also simply visual feedback is a huge help. When paying attention to silksong you can see just how many effects are used

Yeah I think having a gripping game mechanic or story are two huge factors!
I think games like Roguelikes encapsulate that oldschool game principle very well. The core game is simple, maybe even short but it's so solid, it keeps you hooked. Also being simple to learn but hard to master is important

Working on my old Dithering node again, streamlining it for upcoming #Blender 5.0

Especially now that tiling is possible ever since I think 4.5

Left is colored with a color ramp before the dither, right is colored has been colored after.

Those 10 years are weighing heavy on me. What an experience. A game I'll never have enough words for to describe.

A gut punch within a gut punch. Toby does not hold back

Bepis is french it turns out
