I always liked color imensely. I just love how color makes the world more interesting. My apartment is decorated in bright primaries; when I cook, I choose ingredients as much for their color as for their taste, and I pump up the color filters on Instagram for vivid effects even if they are unrealistic. The way colors *work* is also fascinating: how magenta is in our brains and not in nature, how colors can make us feel, how to mix colors in paint and light (and chemicals!), how we can use the relationships in colors to structure an image. (You can read an old article I co-wrote about the use of colors in Games here https://lnkd.in/ewm6f-_Y .) As a programmer, I was also very interested in how colors can be chosen procedurally (way back, inspired by Tiny Wings, to this day one of the best examples). This led me to explore various algorithms, which I wrote about long ago in https://lnkd.in/eEtyUdMi . And the ideas there eventually became the Colors asset we built at Gamelogic, shown in the video here.

Control Your Lighting in Unity Using Light Layers

'Virtual Pine Garden' by Leo Torres. 🌲 "A quiet little forest path through the pines, running real-time in Unreal Engine 5.3 Preview 1, with a combination of Quixel assets and textures, third-party assets, and custom assets modeled and textured in Blender. Nanite was used for the meshes, Lumen for GI and reflections..." Check out his ArtStation: https://lnkd.in/dA9neAYh #UnrealEngine #Megascans

Update: Blender 4 Compatibility in HDR Light Studio: LightMap released an update to the Blender Addon, fixing an issue that was broken with the Blender 4 release. The post Update: Blender 4 Compatibility in HDR Light Studio appeared first on . #toolfarm #vfx #motiondesign

Where it all started(AOT) Recent work in Unreal 5. Enjoyed working every bit of it. Aslo thanks to Subash ‎for helping out. Peace out! ✌ | Layout | Camera | Lighting | Fx | #unrealengine5 #lighting #fx #layoutdesign #setdesign #camerasetup

WIP Surface Toon Shader. I decided to create this effect during an in-depth study of shaders and lighting in unity. Here I learned a lot about the internal workings of light and shadow systems and also how unity handles this data internally in each renderer pipeline (Built-in, URP and HDRP).

Unity's default fog is quite boring, so I made a custom one with two colors, and it looks much better! The fog itself is made by interpolation of two colors based on the scene depth, and then adding it to the scene using "Hard Light" blend mode. #unity3d #techart #shader

I threw this scene together quick so it's not a great class room but it does show how nice baked lighting can do the shadows without a lot of cost for shading at runtime. I did run into a little bug but it was an easy fix. #leveldesign #gamedevelopment #madewithunity #gamedevhq

With using Cinemachine, I took a look at how aiming works for a virtual camera. https://lnkd.in/gHp5BCr4 #madewithunity #unity3d #unitydeveloper #gamedesign #gamedev

Hello LinkedIn, invested couple of weeks familiaring myself with the material PBR texturing in Unreal Engine. A Master Material is a series of interconnected shader instructions and inputs, just like any other Material you might create in Unreal. Master materials may vary depending on the component attribute of the texture to be created. However it is an effective way of texturing various asset in a game engine. https://lnkd.in/dwAjvcXv I finally did aim at creating master material node setup in Unreal Engine, below are screenshots and clips of the node setup. Awesome learn and insightful process. #gamedesign #3d #node #game #master_material #texturing #3dArt
