- Gamers have discovered our secret lol.. Could have been avoided if you parented the rain to the camera Bethesda
- Replying to @TomFrancisVFXDid you know that, Mario 1-1 uses the same image for both clouds and bushes?
- I legit have seen student projects done this 💀 And they wonder why the FPS is low lol
- Replying to @ColorCoded13Rain is simply falling triangle, they don't collide by default or offer any kind of information to the environment. There needs to be a system somewhere that knows the rain is active and then send information to the environments material/shader to "look" wet
GIF- Replying to @TomFrancisVFXRealtime VFX artist here - The reason we attach rain to the camera is because it is less performance intensive than simulating particles everywhere. Why spawn particles across the world when a few hundred particles in front of your camera does the job just as well.
- I tried really pushing the animation and timing on this piece and I'm pretty happy with it. *Anime intensifies* #UE4 #vfx #gamedev #RealtimeVFX #UnrealEngine

GIF- Toon fire ball spell :D I'll do some polish and add more layers next week! #UE4 #realtimevfx #gamedev
GIF - Replying to @TomFrancisVFXThis kind of technique isn't limited to just rain too. Snow, dust, fireflies, leaves, grass blades - Anything that flies across your screen as you are moving in a zone/biome is probably using something like this. Its optimized and easy for us developers to control.
- Man, making First person VFX is harder than i thought.. I spent 6 hours on this, ridiculous... 😤😑 #UnrealEngine #UE4 #gamedevelopment #vfx #gamedev
GIF - Doing some VFX warm up today before going back to work! This ones inspired by Fenix's "planet cracker" from HOTS #UE4 #gamedev #realtimeVFX #UnREAL #vfx
GIF - So incredibly proud of what our team at @RedHookStudios has accomplished on #DarkestDungeon2! Will be sharing more about the VFX I made when the game is out #NoSpoiler
