I'm working on an FX tool for #unity3d to help create some nice fluid VFX. Both for real-time and pre-baked flipbooks. #assetStoreunity3d #techart #gamedev #indiedev #vfx

@tycarterart Hi Ty, was inspired by your concept art, the last week in '24, and started to making it into a little animation in Blender. The idea I had was it could be lots of time slices of a couple over their relationship. I got as far as doing 2 shots. not sure when/if ill finish it.

@ThomasHorwath I released it, and it happens to be on sale https://t.co/c6hNlIlLuZ

@allsoppja @tuomaskorpi Yes! The water is made from a mix of geo nodes and shader nodes. They communicate with each other, eg I calc the curving wave tip in the geo nodes and pass that to the shader nodes to do the foam at the tip. Blender is super intuitive I love it.

[Jamie Niman @jamieniman]

Made this short clip in #blender based on an illustration by @tuomaskorpi. The ocean is built using #geometrynodes.

[Jamie Niman @jamieniman]

Original illustration is amazing

[Jamie Niman @jamieniman]

original illustration is soooo good - didn't achieve a fraction of the quality - but it was a useful process as way to learn Blender

[Jamie Niman @jamieniman]

To learn Blender I decided to attempt to recreate an illustration by @CreatureBox (for the book Beautiful Scars) #blender #greasepencil #eevee #geometrynodes

[Jamie Niman @jamieniman]

Once I got passed learning the slightly unusual UX, I found the geometry nodes, grease pencil, shader editor etc to be so intuitive!

@nina_m_klos I enjoyed experimenting with AR - sculpting my wall and then have it turn into some weird rippling liquid.

I did a similar thing on "Life In VR" - to increase the number of Krill - I made little groups where I baked their pivots into the vert color so I could animate them and make them disperse

@JasperDevYT Flipbooks work well on mob, more expensive features like volumetrics and live I'll need to do some profiling to get a more precise answer

[Jamie Niman @jamieniman]

@thebasemesh @EpicGames oh wow congrats!!

@fbgooglegoogle @favor89 I think I'm a few months away, depends on how long the loose ends take.
