Custom Vertex Streams are probably the biggest trouble people have with shuriken, so here's a little tip to make it easier!

Did you know you can rename the fields in Custom Data? Simply just click on them

Hopefully, that helps you understand how to work with them :)

Gradient masking for smooth swipes! This material setup creates a full-range gradient sweep, perfect for effects like wipes, transitions, or directional reveals. Driven by a sine wave for continuous motion. #gamedev #VFX #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine5 #UnrealEngine

Quick Houdini Zero-Centered Lightning generator.
should probably reduce segments on the straight sections but time is money and I'm not getting paid for this.

This week we're working on refining existing special attack VFX and also creating the matching blue-colored effects for our ice-magic clan.

How we feelin' about the new special for the Tandara clan's sword/shield weapon set?

I've seen quite a few Niagara tutorials for a spiral that alter velocity over time to get the spiral. This has several problems and is less controllable.

Instead, some simple maths.
Theta is (pi * spiral strength)

You can smoothly mix gradients using Distance, Noise, and Power nodes to create a dynamically controllable falloff with texture variation. Replace the Noise node with any texture sample for more customization. Perfect for soft dissolves, fog, or stylized VFX #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine #gamedev #VFX

screenshot from anno 1800. side by side we can see a house from birds eye view. one with shadows falling from right to left, the other house looks flat becaue the shadows falls "behind" the houses since the sun stays behind the camera and with that everything looks flat.

A quick tiny post about Shadows in Anno 1800. It's not really a Game Art Trick, but a strong decision for good composition. 🌞

New type of buttons. Can’t wait to add sound effects to this (even though SFX is so far away)

One of the main things you do in Mind Over Magic is build your school. I prototyped the look and built out all of the FX and shader for our construction fx. Higher res videos below!
