Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 20/02/2026These are some of my favorite materials I made for Mind Over Magic. I was responsible for creating all of the tillable texture/trim textures shown, as well the shaders that handled their mapping/FX. Check out a lot more here: www.artstation.com/artwork/DL4znR #gameart #indie #MindOverMagic #Unity 1246

Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 19/12/2025I've been helping out with VFX on Marvel Snap this year, and wanted to share some of my favorite VFX I've made. You can check out more here! www.artstation.com/artwork/lGkQYo #rtvfx #vfx #gameart #MarvelSnap #Unity 3145
Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 17/02/2025One of the main things you do in Mind Over Magic is build your school. I prototyped the look and built out all of the FX and shader for our construction fx. Higher res videos below! www.artstation.com/artwork/3EZa3B #rtvfx #vfx #gameart #indie #MindOverMagic #Unity 16714
Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 10/02/2025What's a magic school without magical stations to learn and cast magic at! Here are some VFX/Shaders I worked on for our teaching stations. Everything here was animated via shader. Check out more here! www.artstation.com/artwork/AZ6bWe #rtvfx #vfx #gameart #indie #MindOverMagic #Unity 0508
Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 27/01/2025More VFX work from Mind Over Magic. These were some of the magic rituals from the game. Particularly happy with how the shader on the mana crystal turned out. Hiring Ritual: #rtvfx #vfx #gameart #indie #MindOverMagic #Unity 1277
Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 20/01/2025More Shaders! Nothing crazy with this one, but it turned out cool. It uses the character bounds to mask the bottom, and a couple of screen space textures on top. We recently added the option to customize the color of their ghost. Here is our ghost shader: #rtvfx #unity #stylized #gameart #indie 3617
Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 19/01/2025And here are images of the final look in game. Fully Dynamic to any room size you build. 050
Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Here is the same shader with our Greenhouse Material, but toggled to only use 3 horizontal slices: 130
Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Here is that shader working on one of our materials for the Dragon Aerie: 150
Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Showing off some of the shader work I did on Mind Over Magic. Here is a 9 slice shader I built for our game using world coordinates. The basic idea was taking the world coordinates of each wall and constructing UVs based on them. I then used those UVs and remapped them coordinates on a texture. 1214

Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Happy #PortfolioDay Everyone! I am still putting together all of my work from the latest project I have been working on Mind Over Magic, but I still wanted to share some of the FX work I have been doing on the project. Here is our Dark Ultimate Spell #VFX #Stylized #MindOverMagic #Indie 3217
Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Here is a look at the nodes that drive that in amplify shader editor 111
Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Calling this one done for now! Definitely think I am going to continue refining my toon shader for my next project. High res videos and images here www.artstation.com/artwork/QKRRG3 Hope you all enjoy! Concept by @panelperday.bsky.social 311618
Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Got this guy all rigged up and added some dynamics to it in Unity. Still going to add some bones to give some control over some of the cloth areas like the pants and sleeves. 0706
Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 23/11/2024And a still image since I still can't figure out the compression quality on bluesky 🙄 110
Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Made the staff and a hacky little fur shader. Also updated the shader so I can set the shadow color based on a texture in order to get closer to the look of the concept. 3499
Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 28/10/2024This was the unfinished project from mentioned in my last post. Really want to come back and finish this at somepoint. Orignal concept by Wouter Gort for A Long Journey to an Uncertain End. 062
Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 26/10/2024A likeness of Helen Mirren I made a while back part of a larger unfinished project. #3dart #art #realism 26613
Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 08/10/2024A still image since compression is wrecking the video 😔 0271
Stephen Stone @stephenstone.bsky.social · 08/10/2024WIP on a character using a custom toon and outline shader. Planning on doing an in depth animated texture for the face. Concept by @panelperday.bsky.social 711518
