Throw back to over 2 years ago?!

At that time I was developing a real-time paint stroke post-processing package for Unity. I moved on because some of the tech + learning in that unlocked an even cooler rendering pipeline that I'm using in our current game.

Sometimes I spend a few hours animating a combo without any intention beyond honing my skills, since sometimes being a director means not animating for a while.

You can use the depth buffer with a bump offset function to mask sprites by depth and conform them to the geometry. This is especially convenient for dynamic fake light, UI elements, character damage effects… #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine #gamedev #vfx

Two panels of the very first Calvin & Hobbes strip.

Calvin's father: "they like making games, huh?"

Calvin: "Game devs will do anything for making games!"

Hobbes, upside down in a rope trap, eating a sandwich: "We're kind of stupid that way."

Offset VFX toward camera to make it stand out better without having them stand out too much via a render layer. The results are amazing IMO.
Take a child transform that has the VFX. The parent transform looks at the cam then the Z pos is set to bring it closer.
