Preview of my new comic shader collection, coming free this month. Edge detection, stylized shadows. No post processing, so this is fully compatible with fog and volumetrics. Thanks for all of the new follows, really keeps the pressure on me to release this! 😅#unity3d #gamedev

WHO AM I?

@alexanderameye @AlanZucconi Amazing! How are you creating the simplified mesh?

@AlanZucconi I'm creating a mesh based on the original geometry, transforming it in vertex shader based on current light direction, use that mesh to write to stencil buffer, then check stencil buffer in a later pass to compose shadows with the scene

More experiments with sharp shadows! super easy to just generate sharp shadows for any mesh and get rid of these gaps or artifacts in my shadows that I often get #madewithunity

@lucengame @alexanderameye Is Twitter busted? This post is so old, from before we all quit posting, either of you talented guys back at game dev graphics?

@alexanderameye @csims314 Thanks! The scene geometry is courtesy of @csims314 , I believe he did the vertex coloring in Blender iirc.

(3rd attempt-Twitter hates contrast) Another benefit of passing custom data through the GBuffer is being able to use @csims314 awesome vertex color outline method natively with the default lit shading model (pic is his test scene)

@AntoniaRForster @unity Thanks for putting this in context. It sure seems like an attempted indie friendly structure? Also unity CEO selling .1% of his shares is not a scheme to cash out beforehand 😂

I don't have all the answers, but I can clarify a few things about @unity price changes, and hopefully address some of the (very valid) concerns. 1. The runtime fee only applies to devs whose game makes over 200k revenue in a year, AND over 200k lifetime installs. AND. Not OR.

@Scobleizer YouTube’s closed captioning is so bad, why isn’t their AI crushing it there?

What if Google ingested all of YouTube into a million of its own AI computers. God help us all. Google’s robot would be able to do anything.

Happy belated #PortfolioDay

@lacruzo_ Nicely done!

@alexanderameye Looking nice! I find rougher edges really help hide low res shadow map issues. And of course look more hand drawn.

Added a rougher looking transition to my stylized shader ✍️

@alexanderameye I love the look of outlines on prototypes, nice!

Car controller looking good 👍 #madewithunity

@NickDCarver Do you know if it's depth + normal based? And then some noise added, is the geometry just wonky?

we've crossed 100 students!!! Thanks so much for the support on the course! can wait to see what all of you cook up!

@_dstrm @alexanderameye Your tool for UV mapping looks neat. Have you explored the idmapper blender add on?

@alexanderameye Thanks! Object ID is a float3->float3 hash of world-space position.

A breakdown of how our line rendering works. Let me know if this is useful for your game, we're looking for a cool project!🎮🎨 Any suggestions welcome. #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d #madewithunity
