Hey lovely person! 💘

Hope you're having a fine day! May the polygons fall into good order and compilers generate crispy code. :)

Alexander shared a nice breakdown of his fire breath effect and is looking for a job.

My YT Channel has now 10.000 subs! By the way, I have several other Youtube channels with videos about Unreal, Houdini and Godot!

Great breakdown about a simple technique to make glass shards "glitter" while they rotate without using a cube map or real reflections.

I love the idea of a flame shield! Usually those are made of scifi hexagons, magic, or ice…but fire? So cool!

A bit hard to see in the GIF, but I like how a full-screen effect is used to display some flames in the corners of the screen. Adds a lot of fiery feeling!

That's why we have lightning conductors on our roofs.

A wonderful PDF showing a guide to Mulan's smoke, fire, fireworks, and water splashes.

Impressive smoke breakdown, starting from line work and ending in beautifully shaded dust.

These are the most creative sword trails I've seen so far. And Valeriia even shows how they were painted!

Do you know the amazing Houdini Titan Project? It featured awesome examples on how to use procedural generation for making a Sci-fi City. The new project does the same but for a beautiful stylized environment.

In-depth tutorial on how to render reactive grass in Godot.

This node offers many blend modes (even 3 for blending Normal Maps!) and is released as CC0!
The blog post also offers previews for each blend mode and the exact formulas. My favorite: Heat. Fits well to the current temperatures.

This post goes about using a packaged project to avoid editor overhead when measuring performance and gives useful commands like for disabling the dynamic resolution scaling.

By the way, on Wojtek's blog there is a list about all LinkedIn posts. Very useful!

Happy pride to everyone! Stay safe, spread love!

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