This ended up being fast enough for us to update it dynamically :)

@techsaby Nice work! What solution are you using here? Is this precached Houdini, Chaos, or something else?

Destroying assets in real-time feels so good. #realtimevfx #UE4 #Houdini #TechArt

Made a lil campfire effect for @realtimevfx' monthly sketch, in #UnrealEngine, using #EmberGen!

A small real-time DX12 VDB renderer I've been playing with. Not sure where I want to go with it yet but there's loaaads of optimization/visual things I'm looking forward to adding on. May also clean this up and put it up as a small sample on GitHub.

@TheRealSpoonDog I’ll figure this newfangled technology out eventually 😜

@_JamesSharpe_ Such a noob James ;)

Apologies about the random creating, deleting and recreating tweets. I'm kinda new to this twitter thing and trying to work out how to setup threads properly 😅

By using the screen position instead of the world position to read the volumetric data we could use this for the UI as well.

This created membranes between floors though. We were able to fix this by erasing the floor above when it was too close to the floor below.

The Venom for Escape was one of the hardest things for us to pull off on Gears 5. Here is a demo of the 3D flow solution we put together for it.

@sonofpeter_kjp Hi Kurtis, I haven't had to deal with the ReadPixel stuff. This is all done with stock blueprints and materials. I take it ReadPixel is about getting stuff from the GPU to the CPU? I haven't Gotten into any C++ code yet. This looks interesting though michaeljcole.github.io/wiki.unrealeng…

Here is a technique we used on Gears 5 to store 3D information in a single sample of a 3D texture. I'm keen to push this further as there are potentially a lot of good wins in regards to memory and performance.

Some cloud experiments continued from #UE5 #PS5 demo; here showing Flowmaps-3D function from 4.26. The Clouds are made from Curve Assets + hand painted density & flowmaps. Paint thunderstorms! Now as twitter video. Examples will be included in 4.26 #UE4 #realtimevfx #cloudscape

@Cdaugherty5 Anytime! Happy to chat :)

@_JamesSharpe_ In about 3 weeks time I may be sending you a message in teams ;)

@mike_lyndon @ShaderBits Thanks Mike :) It means a lot to hear people are finding this useful. This talk was a lot of fun to put together. Putting together a formal presentation is a really worthwhile experience for anyone wanting to get better at structuring their thinking.

@Dealman69 Yeah, @GeoffLesterCG did a great job putting that together :) Definitely give him a follow if you haven’t already.

@_JamesSharpe_ Very nice, if possible I'd also love to see your approach for the deforming red sand. I spent several minutes just messing around in the sand... 🤣

Finally got to my last gallery from the Finding Nora themed hospital level in #TheLastofUsPart2 You can see this shader painting animation in higher quality as well as some of my thoughts on the process on #ArtStation: artstation.com/artwork/Oovdd8

EmberGen just keeps getting better. I’m excited to play with it some more.

@MadMaraca @GeoffLesterCG I love this! Great work :)

Second attempt at --"In Search of Water"-- I think this came out way better than previous one! Let me know what U think! also thanks everyone for ur support and great suggestions! ^^ #voxel #voxelart #magicavoxel #gamedev #mars
