Distorting UVs is a simple way to introduce variation and add more depth to panning textures. By pushing and pulling the UVs, this shader creates a bulging or pinching effect. #gamedev #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine #indiegames #VFX

A great way to cheaply fake lighting on particles is with a sphere mask in world space. Using a Vector3 instead of an Actor Position node lets you offset the lighting to any desired position in the world #gamedev #VFX #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine5 #UnrealEngine

Building VFX assets with procedural variation in mind is a great way to optimize production time while enabling a wide range of effects. This approach was key for the meteor effects on #Godfall developed in collaboration with Counterplay Games #realtimevfx #vfx #gamedev

A simple disintegration effect using only a material and no particles. By combining alpha erosion with a noise mask and world position offset, you can push the effect further. Here the vertices rotate along their normals while the mesh erodes away. #gamedev #VFX #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine5

Value erosion gives you finer control over texture breakup and fades. With a softness parameter, erosion feels smoother and more organic while maintaining the overall shape #realtimeVFX #VFX #GameDev #UnrealEngine #UE5
