Did you know you could swirl your UVs using a Custom Rotator and Time multiplied by 2*pi? Pair this with refraction and you get a cool portal effect!๐Ÿฅ

Something cool I've been working on for @lostskiesgame.bsky.social went up on the dev blog!
(lostskiesgame.com/news/skywatc...)

These goopy splash #RealtimeVFX have no textures, UV's, animation... or even tangents!

Taking the chance to repost some useful stuff I made in the past

There is a secret Volumetric Painting tool I hid in the #UE5 Valley of the Ancient demo project (free)

You can paint how wind flows, affecting fog, sand and small debris

Here's a little barrier experiment I did a while back - Aiming for something that appears and disappears in an interesting way depending on your distance to it

Another experiment I did for an echolocation shader using sphere masks - A lot of inspiration from Death Strandings Odradek scan fx.

Not that I've played Persona 3 Reload, but the shader they used for the arcana look really cool so I decided to do a quick vfx sketch of it
(Obv i didn't make the textures for the card back and front)

The most interesting part for me was making a poe flame shader that matched the reference - here's that that looks like.

The material is super messy tbh, but uses no textures so that was fun.

One of my favourite vfx from BOTW was Revalli's gale, which I tried to replicate here
