I started one over at the RTVFX forums, figured i'd start one here too for all my doodlings, crits are welcome, but I'm mostly just going to journalize this

Anyway, to start off, I've been reworking my Rainy Surface Material Function in UE4,

Michael Knubben · Aug 2017

That's really nice. Any way you could make it take the angle of the surface into account and have it be a stream at angles? I noticed the far wall is also being rained on

DeepSpaceBanana · Aug 2017

haha funny you should ask, the above gif is just to demo the ripple part, the full function is slope aware you can see it here

summo random shader doodle-age, from a while ago.

Couple more older shader doodles

Random idea I had for a POM fur shader, should go back to this one at some point

Bruno Afonseca · Aug 2017

Love your stuff mate! Subscribed!

Justo · Aug 2017

Yeah, these are amazing dude

Ootrick · Aug 2017

Holy shit, these are awesome - Bigups! Subbed.

DeepSpaceBanana · Aug 2017

Thanks guys! Appreciate the Kind words

another caveman · Aug 2017

Opening so many possibilities of use !
Well done man ! Quite crazy stuff in here

Gannon · Aug 2017

fantastic stuff, would love to see any breakdowns on anything you've shown. especially the fur and rain

Thanks man, you'll find breakdowns for most of my stuff in the Tech Art Section of my website https://deepspacebanana.github.io/deepspacebanana.github.io/blog/ , I try to update this with my newer stuff whenever time permits, the fur was a spur of the moment experiment, I'll need to go back and work on it before I can make a breakdown.

DeepSpaceBanana · Aug 2017

Here's another one from a while back, random glitch effect as Post-Process, this would probably be cheaperm if I jsut made it a regular material.

Restrepo18 · Aug 2017

Awesome stuff man! Thank you for sharing the knowledge.

Felixenfeu · Aug 2017

That's the most amazing thread I've seen this month. Love that lava-becomes-a-table effect.

Eohek · Aug 2017

Holy fuck this this stuff is awesome

DeepSpaceBanana · Aug 2017

These are some old experiments iI had done with Vertex Deformation in UE4, the idea was to try and use it for something like procedural impact craters etc, it's not really feasible because of dense geo/lighting errors, but was a fun little experiment.

Also, this is what spawned the wormhole shader. This is what it looked like early on when I was just toying around with ideas

Philsip · Aug 2017

Wow! These are phenomenal.

DeepSpaceBanana · Aug 2017

Someone had posted a video showing some of the work behind Horizon Zero Dawn's hologram/ glitch shaders, so I spent a little time today making these glitches, i have a bunch more ideas in my head I wanna try out.

About two years ago, when I was in college I remember watching a GDC demo by one of the Tech Artists from Naughty Dog, showing off this really cool interactive foliage shader, at the time my brain couldn't even begin to Comprehend how something like that could be made.

Yesterday, I spent about an hour cooking up a simpler version of that shader.

This looks amazing! I remember that GDC talk too. Would be really interesting to learn more about your approach!

Thanks man! I'll be sure to make a quick blog post on it when I get some free time.

Today's random distraction from stuff that I actually need to be working on, fake pool surface Material

Nars · Jan 2018

Love the distortion shaders, tried the same thing 2 weeks ago with no success.

DeepSpaceBanana · Feb 2018

Lil sunday mini project

DeepSpaceBanana · Feb 2018

Reworked the Crystal ball Shader a bit, I think it feels more grounded without the rim glow and the subtlety works better perharps.

DeepSpaceBanana · Mar 2018

Been re-watching the Clone Wars animated show lately, so here’s a wip of a Star wars Style Hologram Shader.

DeepSpaceBanana · Mar 2018

Added a breakdown for the glitch effect I had made a while back to my website, you can find it here.

Thanks, I'll have more soon.

Dude this stuff is awesome! I just subscribed to this thread, I'm excited to see what else you got. This is very inspiring!

pmiller001 · Mar 2018

nice! is it possible to animate the "turbulence" and initial velocity of the noise in its current state? or is its current speed like its default? I feel like some anticipation would go a long way. I'm pretty sure I follow your thread on RealtimeVFX too XD

Of course, right now the "turbulance" is being driven by a random value generated from a linear time value, all you'd need to do is replace that with a scalar value animated on a timeline or a curve, or whatever you want to use to drive the turbulance.

Oh rad!, Thank you for confirming that!

Appreciate all the encouragement guys!

I've added another breakdown, it's a star wars inspired Hologram Shader and BP System, you can find it here

Some stuff from last week, inspired by a Fog of War shader I saw on twitter.

same function different use case with a different noise pattern.

I don't know what black magic you're using, but I like it. This is super cool stuff, great work!

Duuude this is RAD \m/ love it \m/

monodrobe · May 2018

loving the transition on the character. Did ya consider / try hooking up a light to the character position to help with the glow effect and the shadow of the character
