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

Smooth swipes using a simple gradient mask. In this case, a sine wave drives the gradient for continuous motion, creating a full-range sweep that works great for wipes, transitions, and directional reveals... #gamedev #VFX #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine5 #unrealengine

Using the Quantize node is a simple way to reduce a smooth 0-1 gradient into discrete steps. It's a great technique for achieving stylized toon shading and other stepped effects #realtimeVFX #unrealengine5 #gamedev #VFX #UE5
