Over the years, I’ve gathered a ton of game development resources, game art books, tech talks and Unreal Engine notes
Now, I’ve decided to make it public and neatly organized.
I will be adding more things and keep everything here simple and organized.

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

So wicked! They're all so good!

Dust motes are underrated but a scene isn't complete without them

Finally finished this one! 💥
The project is now live on Artstation.

Wow,wicked stuff!

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

#vfx #rtvfx #gameart

Here's what it looks like without the underwater pp

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

#vfx #rtvfx #gameart

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)

#vfx #rtvfx #gameart

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
