Eclipse. Real happy with the shapes and color on this one. #VFXFriday #rtvfx #realtimevfx #gamedev #ue5

Calling it good on this quick sketch of the golden vow incantation from Elden Ring. #rtvfx #realtimevfx #gamedev #ue5

Small sketch I did where this glittery effect is actually made of ribbons instead of like gpu particles. Always interesting to find different ways to do things. #VFXFriday #rtvfx #realtimevfx #gamedev #ue5

Also here is a better view of a single lance. #rtvfx #realtimevfx #gamedev #ue5

Tried making the dark lance spell from Nier Replicant. Pretty happy with it as is, and might try remaking some of the other spells next. #rtvfx #realtimevfx #gamedev #ue5

Black hole sketch, practice with substance designer #rtvfx #realtimevfx #gamedev #ue5

Didn't really know what I was going for with this but it turned out cool. #rtvfx #realtimevfx #gamedev #ue5

Trying to learn geometry nodes in blender. Scattering grass cards and all the tree geo are procedural. Movement done by basic uv distortion and vertex displacement. Much more responsive than houdini, but I don't like it as much. #b3d #blender #geometrynodes

Pyro sim and realism practice #VFXFriday #rtvfx #realtimevfx #gamedev #ue5

And also forgot to post this as well. Really liked how soft and wispy it came out. #rtvfx #vfx #gamedev #ue5

Forgot to upload this stylized flame sketch based on Promare. #rtvfx #vfx #gamedev #ue5

And here is just showing the kinda jank volume placement #gamedev #ue5

Tried recreating the Portal 2 gels and made a little environment to go with it. Made with render targets and I actually gave the gels collision volumes to actually make you jump and stuff. #VFXFriday #rtvfx #vfx #gamedev #ue5

Lightning shockwave sketch, trying to get back at it #realtimevfx #vfx #ue5 #gamedev #rtvfx

Quick vfx sketch I did today, tried to get a similar look to the dlc portal in Dark Souls. #rtvfx #vfx #gamedev #ue5

Even more pyro sims! Animated tank in #blender and most of the sims done in #embergen #VFXFriday #rtvfx #vfx #gamedev #ue5

Animated Anby doing a million stab with some stylized vfx #VFX #gamedev #rtvfx #UE5 #realtimeVFX

Made a new reel for some of the characters I made vfx for in #smite2 Including Mordred who was pretty cool to work on. #vfx #realtimevfx

I work on this :)

Little robot guy I made learning hard surface in blender. #b3d #blender3d
