Hey lovely person! 💘

Hope you're having a fine day!

I added a new channel on my Discord. If you know of VFX jobs, feel free to post them there.

Now the archive shows keywords which make it easier to find stuff in past editions. For example, just search for "math" and you'll find the newsletter with all the cool "math for artists" links.

A VFX fellow asked me if I could mention his new Youtube VFX channel, where he is offering free tutorials (and more if you support the Patreon).

The newer videos from Alex Huang offer tutorials/breakdowns of the effects.

Many beautifully painted VFX concepts by Théo DROULEZ.

I love the splashiness of this water impact made by Marine Sauvage.

Chiefu not only offers a nice orb and a material break down, but also offers the whole HLSL code!

The effect is cool in itself, but I really like the camera work on this one. How it gets closer, shakes, ... adds A LOT!

This is an excellent example of adding directionality to an impact. Look how the flames first push to the right before “calming down” and only moving up.

Edouard Boudet presents super cool Niagara balloons with nice examples for their collision.

Emil on the UnrealSource discord showed a project to make CHAOS working as Niagara particles, which is better for performance.

Godot Addon to create simple but effective light shafts.

Our studio helped to make this DLC and I made the VFX (which react to the music, as always). CAREFUL! Watching this video will give you an instant earworm! 🎵

Our studio released a 1h30m video with a nice forest scene and calming sound scape.

Thanks for reading! Have a lovely day/night! 💘
