Hey! I'm Felix (he/him) I'm a game design student from Germany. I love pixelart, 3d art and mainly work in unity. Currently obsessed with shaders!

I animated the blade along a curve in blender but I couldn't figure out how to get that animation into unity.

How important is it that gears and mechanical parts make sense?

In one of my playthroughs of Secrets of Grindea we only switched to hard mode in Bossfights, bc we wanted a challenge then. But when we're just grinding for loot and exp (omg thats the name of the game!) we just wanted to chill and talk. And that worked really well. Pick your battles (literally).

I wanted to do a post for the #swordtember automaton prompt but damn, this is taking longer than expected. Animating all the moving parts so they look correct takes forever but its sooo worth it :)
now its time for textures and shaders^^

That's so cute! I'd definitely try to do the extra work to collect them.

I feel like a particle system would add a lot to the satisfaction of planting the tree. Just some leaves, as if the tree was a bit too enthusiastic while it was growing up)

Here's a closeup of the shell with the shader, only the texture and the shader without the pearl effect. If you look closely you can see it sparkling on the edges!

I wasn't really productive in between semesters but taking a break is important too. I made some pixel art today.

I feel like this is the best i can do so far. I tried to hide the pixelated nature of a "height to normal"-map by adding a detail normal map on top of my texture. For a better footprint shape I'd probably need to add the movement into the animation directly or figure out a different placement method

Update on my Footsteps! They now not only go down but displace the ground around it a bit.
Gotta tweak the shape a bit and work on the ground texture next.

Thanks! I feel like the details get very muddy when further away. The effect gets warped with the world space not screen space so the lines don't move that much, when moving the camera.

Today I worked on a fullscreen shader to create a rough paper effect and a sketchy outline. Feels nice to see myself improve from two weeks ago when outlines where still a mystery. Gotta work on the presentation a bit i think.

(pic2 without the shader for reference)

I made a pond shader! It uses the parallax occlusion mapping node in #unity to create the depth effect. These are version one and two of the shader, let me know if you have some feedback!

Current project. I'm learning a lot about shaders lately. For example this outline full screen shader.

I made a little scene of a jester mouse in a forest cave! I`m new to 3D animation and rigging but i made the whole character from scratch (except the outline) Sounds are from Pixabay.com #gamedev #gameart #art #3D

A spilled cup leaking wine, there's a small poison bottle next to it. The same asset three times next to each other with different textures

A spilled cup leaking wine, there's a small poison bottle next to it. The same asset three times next to each other with different textures

Working a bit on Texturing 3D Objects so that they look 2D.
Left one is Base Color Textures + a toon shader
Middle is unlit with shadows painted in the Albedo map and the right one is just a recolor with a bit of tweaking

Left and middle also have an Outline Asset.

!Flashing lights (~10sec after rain starts)! I am finally done with my little project adding Normal Maps to Unity 2D! I made a few samples for time of day and weather effects to show off the perks of this workflow. I think it looks really cool! #gamedev #gameart soundeffects are from pixabay.com
