No Kings protest in Columbia, MO was excellent! So much love and community. It felt incredible!

My dog Osiris is the best desk buddy! He’s just a calm little nugget that warms my feet while I work.

I should start posting more pics of my pups. Especially, Winona! She is so photogenic.

I have always wanted to find an easier way to make more stylized "hand drawn" lightning FX. I found a fun method using blender! I'm testing things out matching a scene from Akira :)

Happy #screenshotsaturday! Here's a Mob Psycho 100 aura effect I made while back. No textures were used, its all done with shader math ✨

A few years ago I got hyper fixated on making the most realistic real-time ocean shader possible. I put it down after 8 months or so. Looking back, I still think it looks pretty good.

In the material, we take input direction and stretch the verts accordingly, masking the leading edge of the character, so the verts appear to trail. We also eat away the mesh as we stretch. Once the ability is over, we destroy the poseable mesh.

In a blueprint, we use a poseable mesh component to copy the character's pose at the time of the dash (since the pose can vary) and we create dynamic material instances so we can pass input direction to material and animate the material values. This blueprint is spawned by the gameplay ability.

Here's a breakdown post about my anime dash effect! Everyone was so excited about it, so I wanted to share I how it was done just in case you want to use it in your project⚡

I just can't let these combat fx go! It was early on in production but I feel like I was really in my bag with these dash fx! The goal was to give players that #anime superspeed feeling and I really like where we ended up!
