Hey lovely person! ⭐

Hope you're having a fine day! I have a tea and two (!) candles on my table. Super cozy!

I would like to use the reach of my little newsletter to support other people. Sam is looking for work and maybe your Studio is looking a VFX artist?

Léo Diringer shared a new VFX on my discord. That's a lootbox I would pay for!

Kim ByeongJin shared a new VFX on my discord. Shocking!

Cazy good effect! Make sure to also check out the other works fom Ryun!

Super cool tornado. Unfortunately, not much info about how it's done. Anton just answered the question if it's a Niagara Sim with: "Sprite".

I love Catherina's idea to show off different impacts (water, snow, ...) by bouncing a ball.

For those who don't know already: Harry has a fantastic Tech Art example collection on his blog! Each issue is full of amazing inspiration. You can also subscribe to it via RSS.

Thibaud Goiffon shows how to give the impression of a 3D mesh by just using sprites.

Great breakdown by Tatiana Baeva for making wallpaper peeled with Houdini.

Sarah gifts us a tutorial about creating nice "bubble" materials in Unreal.

Do you have 120 hours? Then you might be interested in watching the tutorials from Charles Boury (Art Director for Road 96 & Caravan Sandwitch) where he shows the complete process of creating a beautiful diorama. Including brush creation, trim sheets, UVs, ... just everything!

p.s. Yes, it's in French. But art is a universal language and possible to follow without understanding words. :)

Very useful post by Dana Klaren about the collision types and their setup in Unreal!

If you have any questions (for example about the industry or the job), feel free to write me, and maybe I can answer them in my next newsletter.

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