Tutorial: Create realistic snow prints in Blender easily

I recently tested a completely free mocap tool for Blender. Worth checking out 👇

Welcome back, friend 💜

Been off this project for a year since my son was born for family time and some RnR.
But damn have the @ThatsNoMoonEnt team kept cooking!
Still a few of my contributions in the trailer I'm happy to see being shown. So shameless plug here:

When learning shaders most tend to overcomplicate common practices like noise or color corrections.
Here are 5 common noob mistakes:

[Simon @iced_coffee_dev]

Grass is one of the best examples of how hashing and noise work together.

Hashing gives you variation, making every blade different. While noise can give you animation, making the whole thing feel alive.

[Simon @iced_coffee_dev]

Noise is used everywhere in games: terrain, animations, camera shake, and more.

But it can still feel like magic. How do you turn greyscale blobs into real effects?

Here are a few practical ways to use it.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered brought back a PS2-era classic, and we dug into the challenges of the revival with the devs.

Unreal Engine DrawDebugBox ScreenSpace.

Turns out I was just overcomplicating things, scaling up the extents based on distance simply works. Rotate the box so it faces the camera, and tadaaa

It was here I understood how powerful Substance painter is

[Gabriel Sassone @GabrielSassone]

This is impressive on every level! File Pilot is impressive, it is how software (especially at os level) should be written. Then calmly developing it live is a treasure!
Huge respect cor you Vjekoslav, and thanks to Wookash!

I finished setting up a page explaining the techniques Guilty Gear uses to create their characters (+ how to use them in Blender) including modeling, shading, line art, rigging and animation. The second video will cover the most impactful ones + more.

[Let's Make FX @letsmakefx]

Did you know you can lerp between several vectors by multiplying your lerp alpha by the number of vectors minus one? Here we are moving a circle across the UV space by lerping between position vectors. #realtimevfx #gamedev #VFX

Worth a quick read

[chriszuko @ChrisZukoArt]

Huge milestone for me today! Feels amazing! #gamedev

[3DxDEV @3DxDEV7]

I can't stop staring at this 😭🔥

@Cartesian_C broke down the mimic effect — procedural curves that move, twist, and displace in real time. No simulation. Just nodes.

The fact that this comes with a full tutorial breakdown makes it even better 🙌

Best structured reference I've found for GPU optimization - 450 papers, 14 years of research. Some techniques will have evolved, but the mental models hold up.

No big live demo for State of Unreal this year.
However, this is looking to be my favorite Fest so far because LOOK AT ALL THESE PERF TALKS! 👀
I'm doing two of them this year, and yes, there might be a costume and a talking parrot involved 🦜🏴‍☠️
