- After 3+ years, ready to do my first tutorial video 😬
00:00 - Let's make the hover effect from the Next.js conf site "Get tickets" button in 1 min featuring the soon to be released hover event.
00:00 - Been away from shaders for too long. Saw an article about pingpong shader state and gentlerain.ai within the same day coincidentally, so I had to do it. Fun and challenging build. Will be live in unicorn soon!
00:00 - So stoked on 3D SDF. For some reason I could never get over the learning curve of that XYZ dimensional arrow UI in 3D design software. Turns out so much can be done with a UX that feels like Figma. Demo: unicorn.studio/embed/chkjBTdm…
00:00 - Showcasing upgraded bloom — layer by layer process. Demo: unicorn.studio/embed/wCufOKJ1…
00:00 - This is probably a more useful execution for spatial projection
00:00 - Does anyone have clients who ask for this kind of stuff?
00:00 - 3D SDF domain repetition with random offset/rotation. Too buggy right now but would love to make it work...
00:00 - Using an exponential kernel instead of Gaussian creates a waaay more natural looking bloom effect.
00:00 - Made a water caustics shader over the break with compounded simplex 2s 3d noise inspired by this technique shadertoy.com/view/wlc3zr. Demoing scale, refraction strength, ambiance, and texture distortion.
00:00 - New daylight sim. Uses caustics noise, a little chromatic aberration, and some blend modes. unicorn.studio/embed/w3nveN84…
