Sketchbook: Anamnacha

Anamnacha

Hi guys, it's been a while since I've posted here. I've been working on my real time effects reel lately and I've decided to post here as I make progress.

That being said, feedback and critique is extremely welcome.

Here is my first effect: A bonfire

The effect consists of:
1 decal
3 particles
1 dynamic light

The luminosity of the light is linked to the brightness of the material using kismet magic.

Here is a render of the sky at 1x, 5x, and 10x game time.
I created the skydome material and moon with a single 1024x texture.

The position of the moon is based on the direction of the light source.

I'm working on more content, but it's not ready to render yet. In the mean time, I've rendered out some gifs for previewing on the forums.

Here is a render of the decal for the fire scene. It gets overlayed on top of the mesh parts.


These are the fire particles. The particle system is set up to use sub-uv and picks one of the four particles randomly.


And here is the lit smoke particle. As the particle reaches the end of its life span, the material becomes more and more distorted.

A candelabra consisting of

• A two phase sprite particle (phase one for the hollow base of theflame, phase two to control the shape of the particle)
• A ribbon particle for the smoke
• An animated self-illumination channel.

I'll post some high resolution screen shots in a bit.
