New showreel - #RealtimeVFX

#UnrealEngine, #Niagara, #Houdini and Fusion. With the exception of 1 DEM texture and a PBR set, all elements are scratch-built and hand-crafted, mostly procedurally.

Please feel free to DM for an extended portfolio including tech art, PCG and shading.

#gamedev

And for something completely different - volumetric VFX and shading in #UnrealEngine fueled by the bits of #Houdini magic!

ALL SHOTS are completely interactive and captured at runtime in realtime.

#FunFact: Most of the year Quorushes are completely green and assume their famous coloration only during the mating season. They often live in groups and communicate through a complex system of hissing and clicking sounds.

Here goes Erica – a Purplefin Quorush!

These funny-walking creatures can be found in middle latitudes and feed on mosses, fungi, lichens and plant seeds – basically everything that can be found on or near tree trunks and doesn’t fight back.

#FunFact: Most of the time Tabletop Dragons crawl just like caterpillars and resort to their trademark hopping only when crossing open areas like garden pathways.

This is Desmond – a Tabletop Dragon!

Quite a rare sight since these species prefer to avoid attention and signal their presence mainly through little wet traces they leave behind. Disliked by gardeners for these very traces and devoured shoots of decorative plants.

#FunFact: Due to rudimentary vision system, Electric Thornsides rely on echo location to navigate. Constant spinning helps their sensitive sprouts to gather more data about surrounding space.

This week meet Charlie – an Electric Thornside!

Despite the popular belief Thornsides are not poisonous. Night hunters, they use bioluminescence to attract small insects and stun them with slight electric charges.

#FunFact: If despite all the protective measures the animal gets stung while hurmfling the honeycombs, it might swell up and fall off the tree. This typically results in no damage but few clumsy bounces, wounded pride and a long way back.

B is for Bob – a Honeycomb Hurmfler!

As may be deduced from the name, honey forms the base of their ration. Hurmflers (aka Bear Slugs) produce special pheromones to fool the bees into letting them enter the hive. Thick slime-covered skin provides extra protection.

Fun fact: A Micronesian Tooth Fairy can eat up to half of its own weight during a single meal. To accommodate such portions full fairies can change body shape getting inflated like tiny balloons.

This is Alice – a Micronesian Tooth Fairy!

Tropical forest dwellers, these creatures inhabit small burrows well-hidden among the tree roots or ghost fungi colonies. Mainly feed on overripe fruit, leaving characteristic marks resembling the bites of a larger animal.
