a healing effect wip done in unity

a stun fx i’m working on in unity

[ryandziurgotart]

a vert shader i wrote in unity that blends two colors based on vert position. been learning how to write shaders instead of using a material editor like shader forge so I can understand things better. still think shader forge is a+ though

I started this over a year ago haha. Going to start digging back in to 2D fx again. This was done following Jason Keyser’s tutorials if interested.

some more guitara wip updates. getting close to being done with all the detail. have a pretty good feel of substance painter now! it was really fun making the material for the inlays. just threw every filter at a fill layer and messed with settings.

[ryandziurgotart]

Still feeling Substance Painter out and working out a ton of normal issues from just not really knowing how to deal with them. Really love that I don't have to make an exploded version thanks to painters ability to match mesh by name. It's also super easy to tweak meshes in maya and update in painter. This was just throwing in a bunch of fill layers based on an ID mask with some painter default materials to get an idea of where till end up

high poly is done finally. ready to cut it down and uv

[ryandziurgotart]

More progress. Just have to finish adding the strings, make a low poly, uv, and then bend the neck. After all that I can start texturing.

[ryandziurgotart]

making progress on modeling. spent some time on the shape of the body and finished fretting. after I string and uv i’ll bend the neck.

[ryandziurgotart]

still modeling the rest of the guitar but I got impatient and started texturing something small to figure out any pipeline stuff. trying to do it all in Substance painter!

[ryandziurgotart]

pulling some older assets/textures into UE4. need an environment if i’m going to blow stuff up

[ryandziurgotart]

coming along

[ryandziurgotart]

going to shoot this out of the skull i made back for drawlloween.

splosion p.2

added some distortion and tweaked everything. running a “cheap fresnel” through the distortion sphere but I think it’s not working like it should be. UE4 has all these built in material functions I still need to check out.
