VFX Artist who enjoys all the bangs, booms, swooshes and sparkles! Focused on Realtime for Game Dev, but occasionally dip into other branches.
The consistent scams from posting something on ArtStation is insane.
I posted 2 projects today, and I've already received 8 emails from people asking to "put my work in their art gallery", or "Purchase my work for their wedding invite"
I'm a VFX artist. You hanging up a monitor in your "gallery"?

Had a lot of fun, learned a lot, and after one last pass on all our FX, they are ready to share!
Other fX in the thread below, since Bsky wont let me add more then 1 in a post 🙃

Oh hey! 👋 Been gone for a bit, life and what not. But one of the things I've been doing is a VFX Bootcamp, and while working on my Ink splash tonight, UE Crashed (Big surprise)
But the good news is the frame it happened to crash on was a pretty good freeze frame, so thought I'd share 🙃

Texture preparation in Substance Designer for one of my triangle shader I've posted a while ago 🔺
Chosing random grayscale values → set up a nice red to yellow fading in Unreal (shown next time) ✨

Now and then, I open this up and watch the procedural animation, amused by how silly it looks.

Been lost to a moody brain, then thought, "Hey, why don't you remake some of the first VFX you ever did?!"
So, first pass of me remaking the Zap Turret VFX from MonstroCity.
Going to really work on that hit effect more, but I do love the "wet" nature of the beam

Taking the chance to repost some useful stuff I made in the past
There is a secret Volumetric Painting tool I hid in the #UE5 Valley of the Ancient demo project (free)
You can paint how wind flows, affecting fog, sand and small debris

OK, the portal is done, including opening, closure, and BP implementation with keyboard controls, with around 3h+ content.

Back from holidays, and made some great progress today! I was able to get all of my assets tied together with an FX, so my wind system cranks up to 10 when it appears! I don't have it changing the water yet, but it's def giving my whole scene a feeling of cohesion!
