Heya Bluesky, I'm Cyan! 😀✨

I do a bunch of #shader / #vfx stuff in unity
and occasionally write tutorials~
(might post some #gamedev too!)

GPU-Instanced Grass 🌱
Old video but just published a proper/full tutorial with info for multiple unity versions~

🧵 breakdown thread of the Halo energy shield vfx!

(there's a couple approaches you could take for this, and a lot of optimisations possible for each part, so take this more as a general 'approach' than a specific step-by-step!)

Not a bother, ask away!~
if character count is an issue can ask on my discord server (linked at top & various places on my site)
just hoping I know the answers 😅

It's a custom shader in the scene rather than post-process based, but yeah using some similar concepts

Hehe, can't give the secrets away too early~

Thanks! 😀✨

Cyan✨ @cyanilux.bsky.social · Nov 29

Is there still some space for me? 👀

Cyan✨ @cyanilux.bsky.social · Nov 29

thanks!
sorry I don't currently, but this reply (and the next in thread) has a little info which could be useful

Cyan✨ @cyanilux.bsky.social · Oct 23

I don't have a breakdown, but you might be able to find some volumetric raymarching examples around.
At each iteration it projects towards light direction, using ray-plane intersection math to determine coordinate to sample the stained glass texture.
And the ground part is similar to a decal shader.

rewriting a shoreline shader I made years ago for a tutorial
here's a sneak peek 👀

#unity3D #shaders #shadergraph

waves on a shoreline mesh created in unity, also showing a zoomed out (mostly unreadable) shader graph node tree

Cyan✨ @cyanilux.bsky.social · Nov 28

Ohhh gifs work now?! Lets try this one... 🦋

#unity3d #shader

Cyan✨ @cyanilux.bsky.social · Nov 23

Calculated in shader, was 3 or 4 Gerstner Waves, with an added noise texture to break up some of the obvious repetition

Thanks! My first thought is to cheat a bit, by passing the required light data in via properties using a C# script, and copy however HDRP calculates the attenuation or use a cone SDF

Thank you!! 😇

Cyan✨ @cyanilux.bsky.social · Nov 13

Feel like I haven't shared anything in a while - probably because progress has been pretty slow on my current project. Might try posting more WIP stuff 👀

Dungeon.

I really need to get back to this and make more tiles and scenes :D

3D render of a tiny dungeon that appears to be made of plasticine or clay. There's a couple of goblins and slimes, scattered golden coins, spike tiles, torches and plants.

Quick and dirty test for some TotK-inspired "fluid" motion on volumetric height fog ☁

Rendering the sphere on a buffer with top-down projection and using that buffer on a custom RT that displaces and blends it with itself in order to leave a distorted trail
