@howieeday I swear, next time I'm doing VFX work I might just pull this up and go frame by frame for inspiration...
Love these pyrotechnics. A detail I didn't notice last time is the flames on the bit that gets punted. Comparing with the last render, I like where you've taken that!
@howieeday Between that and the slow, rolling explosions and showy pyrotechnics I guess that's why I feel like I'd have seen it in an episode of DS9 :)
Though I don't think DS9 ever had a ship punt a chunk of another ship. Which, clearly, it *should have* because that is just glorious.
@howieeday Interesting! They feel well integrated with the scene, but maybe also a little "filmed separately" like the old composites would be? Were they rendered as reusable single explosions in embergen, or all together?
@apoc_dev@topotoylabs That might sell it! With motion each frame its harder to think it's an accident. Maybe something else to add is updating each contact on different frames. Random intervals would feel like sensors fighting noise, ordered directionally would feel like a radar sweep.
Hey everyone. I want to (finally!) share the project I've been working on. Command Deck is a sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder, and the demo is in Next Fest now. Please check it out!
@arainydancer Okay, that's amazing. There's so much overlapping action like the bouncing of the ribbon and hoodie that I had to step through to believe it was on 3s. No timing tricks, just expertly chosen key frames that somehow sell the weight of the garments.
@BurdenOfCommand Hey @burdenofcommand! Thanks for hosting #turnbasedthursday!

@arainydancer Doing stuff that the medium makes hard is the way more impressive flex anyhow! Every time a game has someone take off a jacket in a realtime animation all the animators and tech artists I know lose their minds.
@DMeville Okay, I can't top "fishapult", but if you can throw fish around then maybe you could also bean the shopkeep with them and collect the coins that pop out. Ballistic, fishy commerce!
