Hey lovely person! 💘

Hope you're having a fine day and maybe a drink with cute teddy bears!

A VFX buddy just founded a company. They will help you to get awesome lighting and effects into your game! So far, their portfolio features: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Helldivers 2 & Starship Troopers: Extermination.

Sohan did not only share a cool VFX on my discord, but also shows iterations how the effect developed (love to see those!), Embergen settings and the textures - and those you can even use if you want as CC0 (no crediting necessary and can be used for commercial work)! 

Guillaume shared this awesome piece on my discord, and also provides many video clips as "behind the scenes" material. Fascinating!

Florian shares a ton of breakdowns about his work on Indiana Jones: The Great Circle. In the next days there will be even more released! 

p.s. It's the fame guy who just founded a company (see "Jobs" section)

Ivan posted brilliant smoke, sparkles & ash effects. Also, check out the other work in this portfolio! It's stunning!

Very colorful sword swipe with a cool idea of opening a rift into another universe. 

Self-driving car based on Chaos vehicle system and with gun to make boom.

It's WIP, but a cool optimization because usually decals don't instance. Tom is working on using Niagara for such decals, which should result in only one draw call for all of them.

A fantastic segment about how complicated it is to add TAA to your own engine. The video shows great examples how it looks when it goes wrong. :)

Sohan shared a nice link on my discord with many useful tips, what belongs in a VFX tutorial. 

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