Hey hey! Follow me on Bluesky :) bsky.app/profile/techar… and join my Discord server discord.gg/4BRNBpUVbD #UE5 #techart #gamedev

@Keasartt Thx, I want do it in-person in Warsaw though :) real cafe. But maybe Discord hangouts someday too hmmmm

@TechArtAid I’d be up for a trial run 🙃

youtu.be/06VaV7BxO8k This week we have a look at some of the great online resources available for learning Realtime VFX @riotgames @Beyond_FX @BenCloward @GhislainGir @TechArtAid @MadVFXAB @VFXApprentice #ue5 #vfxfriday #materials #tutorials #gamedev #unreal #niagara

Announcing Voxel Plugin 2 Runtime Nanite Nanite Tessellation Runtime Lumen Unlimited Materials Release early 2025 #ue5 #gamedev #indiedev

New video 🌀 The most efficient way to use gradients in #UE5 materials --> patreon.com/posts/ue5-tuto… Instant refresh in editor (no need to reimport a texture). Suitable for Blueprint gameplay control, variants - and animation over time!

@WicketMarcos graphtoy.com It's great because you can use shader functions & syntax

@TechArtAid what is this graphing software?

My collab with @UnrealEngine is online! How to animate effects using UVs. The focus is on UI but they're useful everywhere dev.epicgames.com/community/lear… I recorded the videos for this comprehensive #UE5 tutorial #vfx #gameart #techart

I can see a lot of hype for early 1990s 3D aesthetics lately. All you shitposters, forget your "PSX cutscenes". There's a richer treasure trove, right in front of you 💎 #povray #aesthetics

Some more TopoMation™ #B3D #Blender #Blender3D

@Slytherin18799 I got a reply on LinkedIn that mobile uses the half type instead of float for View.GameTime too

@TechArtAid I have faced some precision issue when using Time on Android devices

📝I'm writing an article on animating shaders for my Patreon (link in bio). How do you animate material-based effects over time? Have you tried ditching Tick/Timeline? I wonder about precision though 🤔 |#UE5 #techart #gamedev

@BartekMoniewski Hmm UE offers a tickbox "Run when paused" in the material Time node. One would have to be careful then to keep the BP compatible (not to forget to modify it!)

@TechArtAid It always boils down to how pause is implemented imho. If you need animated effects during pause then all other should be animated by and update/tick or global value.

@TechArtAid Something of note: The TIME node works differently in the UI material domain. This might save your sanity at some point when testing in-editor, so make sure to remember it. This drove me nuts on PAC-MAN Mega Tunnel Battle. forums.unrealengine.com/t/the-time-mat…

@volodXYZ Oh man. I didn't know!

@mc_lo Not possible in the sense that time doesn't accumulate? So adjusting the Duration param would compress/expand the flow?

@TechArtAid I did that kind of animation few times in different projects. The only issue with this type of animation is you can't control flow of time. You have yo do weird "timeline latching" to pause and play. And it's not possible to make Duration dynamic.

Wanted to get UE Python Automation Course but been waiting for a sale? No? But I wanna share JULY4TH code anyway. Hopefully you'll save money not just on the course but also thanks to automation. #UnrealGames #Unreal #gamedevelopment #UE #UE5 udemy.com/course/unreal-…

I found a copy of my work labelled as « impressive AI generation » and without any attribution… I created this animation for my shader coding tutorial a year ago: youtu.be/f4s1h2YETNY
