By baking data directly into a texture, through different channels, you can drive position, scale, and rotation of other elements, unlocking flexible, procedural control for unique effects with optimized performance #UnrealEngine #GameDev #VFX #RealtimeVFX

I've been messing around with liquigen of late, and I really wanted to try creating a real-time fluid dosa cooking sequence. Alack I'm about as bad as getting these perfectly round on the computer as I am IRL

Putting lights on this bigass mech is the closest I've come to decorating a christmas tree ✨ starting to get why people get so excited about it in the movies

Trying to recreate the lit raindrop effect that made the stormy night scenes in Pacific Rim look so good. I started out with actual volumetric lights and rain particles, but quickly gave up and used an object-stable screenspace rain texture and fake light cones
