Since this post did surprisingly good numbers compared to my usual bsky nonsense:

pls enjoy a v silly TBW gif I made of our fav anxious wreck Zan!

The game is full of witty details like this, my friend and I cracked up laughing when we spotted it in the background of a big serious exposition scene

I made fire yesterday!! It's a v simple RGB flipbook on a billboard plane rather than particlefx, so prob wouldn't work in a realistic scene. Luckily I think it suits the handpainted aesthetic I'm going for in this scene rly well!

QRP with something watery!💧
Hope the water shader in my #3dart project counts!

Painted some pretty lil critters to add more life to my #stylized #UE5 scene! All based on ref pics of real species, fully handpainted to ensure they fit the aesthetic - and I built a matl to swap between 4 atlas tiles w vert animation for flappy wings!

and here it is in motion!! Many thanks to @cosmicjaybird.bsky.social for sharing her water shader techniques I've borrowed here during Into Games Env Art course last Sept!
I'm a little late on finishing the project since my scene needed a hard reboot, but it's been so worth the extra work and time

Easy breezy; I finally got a wind effect implemented today! Also fixed some pesky normal issues w the foliage planes so they look better than ever! Love that a tiny bit of subtle movement has added so much to the scene.

Realized I forgot to share a vid of the mud vertexpaint!
V satisfying seeing the coloured outline effect work properly after a day of wrangling matl math to first figure out what I wanted to do, then figure out if I could.

And of course since I love to keep everything customisable as far as possible when I'm building shaders or material functions for myself, I just had to give the moss texture some parameters to play around with!

It took a little while but I'm proud to say I finally got my vertex painting figured out, after having to put this #UnrealEngine project on hold during a 4day powercut. Feels good to get back into it!
