WIP Update! 🔥

Now collision events perfectly trigger burn data and FX upon impact!

I'm slowly but surely starting to build a complete system!
If you have any feedback, feel free to DM me.

WIP ! Having a blast implementing my FX directly into gameplay logic.
Connecting the visuals to the code is so satisfying.

Still cooking with @simonboelpaep.bsky.social ! 👨‍🍳

While the bow is still baking, I’m spicing up the gameplay logic & FX trails to get that impact right.

What do you think of the flow?

Most people I know hate manual retopo but I find it relaxing maybe it’s me the crazy one 😅

WIP ! Crafting a new FX for a Soul Spectral bow & arrow FX with @simonboelpaep.bsky.social 🏹.

Swipe to see the little journey from Storyboard to ongoing production.

Aiming for that ghostly vibe by blending meshes from #houdini into #niagara 👻.

More to come !

I tried sculpting on Blender for a new project, not gonna lie I like it a lot!
I thought I would be more lost coming from Zbrush but not at all in fact 😀

Recently I'm thinking of learning how to handpaint textures on 3D mesh. It looks interesting and fun to do.
If you have good resources to learn all that don’t hesitate to share it!
