ExplosionTober - 18 : Asteroid [~1H ]

🚀🚀🚀🪨💥

TinyRenderer Update 5#

Moving forward a bit, now we got multiples lights (Directionnal, Spotlight and Point Light supported) !

Also some basic materials with specular/diffuse maps !
And hot reloading for shaders <3 + improved build system !
Now let's work on mesh support !

Very happy so far :]

ExplosionTober - 17 : Ghoul [~1H ]

Was harder than expected to find inspiration for this one ._.

ExplosionTober - 16 : Lightning [<1H ]

Pretty in a rush for this one, but also pretty happy with the results and timing

I've got the feeling the challenge is starting to become exhausting, so I might take a break, or at least try another approach :]

ExplosionTober - 15 : Necrotic [~1H ]

And that's if for half of the month ! 🥳

Learned a bit more about soulercoaster creation today, small fx but eh, half done o/

ExplosionTober - 14 : Blood [~1H ]

New kind of shapes and timing here, kinda happy with today's learning :] (how to delay some burst, multiples burst, other kinds of orientation and textures controls)

Also a quick note here for the basic Ambient/Diffuse/Specular shader calculation in case anyone need it

TinyRenderer Update 4#

Basic Lighting Done !
We got a basic moving light, with ambient, diffuse and specular lighting setup, and a bit of control of it through IMGUI :)

Next step : Materials !

ExplosionTober - 13 : Prism[~1H ]

Starting to see some progress, but as well that these kinds of explosions are not that game ready, in sens that they don't convey that much gameplay information, need to work on this :thinkinkg:

ExplosionTober - 12 : Darkness [~1H30 ]

Kinda struggled with this one, but at least I'm happy because I learned about soulercoaster curves and attraction points ._.

TinyRenderer Update #3 -

Implemented DearIMGUI (github.com/ocornut/imgui), so now we have a small user interface available to us !

Now everything is ready to start the really fun part : Lighting ! 💡

Exyde @exyde.bsky.social · 6d

TinyRenderer Update #02

Now we have a small camera class, some maths and vector custom classes, zoom, fov, and a minimal texture blending :)

Exyde @exyde.bsky.social · 7d

Some progress on a tiny c++ / open GL rendering engine :)

Actually handling drawing vertices, basic texture without lighting, transformations, and minimalistic shaders !
Camera incoming :]

ExplosionTober - 11 : Holographic [~1H30 ]

Pretty happy with this one as well, especially with the spherical scene color distortion ~ I wish I could add some glitchy sparks more here and there but eh time's flying

ExplosionTober - 10 : Tropical [~1H30 ]

Didn't have the time to post this one yesterday ! But pretty happy with the results here ! One of my fav so far :) (color curves are <3)

#ExplosionTober #ExplosionTober2025 #RTVFX

Exyde @exyde.bsky.social · 7d

Pretty cool this one!! How did you do the outer lines? Ribbons? Mesh with scrolling or kind of soulercoaster? 👀

ExplosionTober - 09 : Golden [~1H30 ]

Basic golden thingy explosion but today, was quite cool to do actually ! First us of flares and glow texture here + better camera and lighting imo
Also learn't a cool tricks about User Interface Material (screen)

ExplosionTober - 08 : Insect [~2H ]

I kinda liked this one, experimented a bit about various Color Curves Assets as a way of controlling the whole system, kinda a good learning !
I'd like to add texture sampled particles, rollercoaster + another pulse :]

ExplosionTober - 07 : Smoky[ ~1H ]

Not very very inspired by today's theme
I used mostly windwaker/ okami as inspirations here
nothing fancy, some distortion, bursts and light/glow texture play
