grumbo! (Happy! the Hippo)

i remade the living room from petz 5 in ue5 with my lighting plugin lol

introducing egwin, my latest oc

with basic working 3D coordinates, physics, and collision. there was absolutely zero reason to do all this

i made a point and click/pet simulator thing in unreal's UMG (these are all just UI elements lol)

#unrealengine #gamedev

i love the art style! we need more antichamber style games lol

Today I released Scythe 0.4.0 which brings Hotspots to Unreal 5.5: 🧵(1/9)

ok but does your game have a dedicated slick button

#gamedev #unrealengine #indiedev

i can only hope to become as cool as him one day 😔

slick edward is getting a little too slick and he’s making me insecure :(

introducing my new OC, slick edward

custom movement in unreal is fun

i made light booleans for my stylized lighting plugin! it is very nice being able to exclude/include certain lights in certain areas (and cast basic shadows)

#unrealengine5 #ue5

works for point lights too (this one isn’t animated but you get the idea)

my plugin’s custom lights support colored/animated materials now lol

Custom UE5 Lighting System For Creating 90s-Style Renders The creator plans to share the system as a downloadable asset.

huh someone did an article on my lighting plugin. neat lol

added cel shading to my custom lighting plugin for UE5 :) it’s handled in the actual lighting calculation, so it works properly with lighting and shadows (no post processing except the outlines). still WIP but really happy with it!

#unrealengine #ue5 #gamedev #gameart

man i’ve been waiting so long for someone to make exactly this, can’t wait to try it later

it is not beautiful blue skies and golden sunshine today :(

RIP david lynch :( i wouldn't be making the stuff i'm trying to make without his work

i never finished it but here's some screenshots from a project a few years back when i was blatantly ripping off his stuff

one of the few people to actually change the way i see art as a whole. heartbroken :(

does my PS2 style game count lol

np!!

mostly the textures and modeling i think! most of the textures i used came from here screamingbrainstudios.com/downloads/, some were from some old 90s texture cds i bought

i used this site a lot for reference too, actual gold mine for old renders lol visualparadox.com/gallery.htm

ty! pretty much just phong shading and basic reflection/shadow mapping! the phong shading is the biggest part, 90% of the look comes from that lol

YouTube video by Visual Tech Art Cel Shading and Light Types (UE4, valid for UE5)

same idea as what’s being done here, just different shading, and some custom light blueprints to pass in all the lighting info to the material

oo i love that! once i’ve worked out some bugs and cleaned things up a bit, i’ll put it up on fab and do a breakdown of how it was made! broadly speaking though it’s pretty much just a custom material to do phong shading and lighting calculations, and basic shadow mapping with scene captures

ty! i really wanna make one at some point lol, we’ll see 🤞
