WIP Update! 🔥

Now collision events perfectly trigger burn data and FX upon impact!

I'm slowly but surely starting to build a complete system!
If you have any feedback, feel free to DM me.

WIP ! Having a blast implementing my FX directly into gameplay logic.
Connecting the visuals to the code is so satisfying.

Hey #TechArt fam! 👋 If you have any pro-tips on handling collisions, spawning Decals efficiently, hit me up! My DMs are open.

WIP • I have finally finished the first pass of retopology and sculpting of the high poly.
It's almost the end! Can’t wait to show you the final result!

Still cooking with @simonboelpaep.bsky.social ! 👨‍🍳

While the bow is still baking, I’m spicing up the gameplay logic & FX trails to get that impact right.

What do you think of the flow?

WIP ! Crafting a new FX for a Soul Spectral bow & arrow FX with @simonboelpaep.bsky.social 🏹.

Swipe to see the little journey from Storyboard to ongoing production.

Aiming for that ghostly vibe by blending meshes from #houdini into #niagara 👻.

More to come !

Hello World! 👋

I’m Florian, a 3D / FX Artist fresh out of CGAcademy (BE). New here :

My focus? Blending Houdini’s procedural power with Unreal Engine’s real-time capabilities.

I’ll be sharing my R&D and finished projects here

I tried sculpting on Blender for a new project, not gonna lie I like it a lot!
I thought I would be more lost coming from Zbrush but not at all in fact 😀

Recently I'm thinking of learning how to handpaint textures on 3D mesh. It looks interesting and fun to do.
If you have good resources to learn all that don’t hesitate to share it!
