#shader graph

I've been very busy with university work. One of the things I have had the pleasure of doing in our capstone project is custom shaders. Thankfully I was able to jump in with last year game design students to work with them rather than make a boring piece of software for a client that isn't paying me. I'm in a computer science degree and my major is cybersecurity so it's fucking stupid they make me be a programmer for the capstone given object oriented programming wasn't even a core unit. Thankfully my knowing C & art skill qualifies me for the role of technical artist, which still technically counts as softare dev for the most part...!

Hey everyone, the local Egg is checking in to show off some progress. Last time after working on some important rendering effects, I also started on other in-game effects. As promised, here are some results!

First I have the Shader in the works for the swing effect that will add a bit of subtle uniqueness in each swing, as fast as they may end up being, it will cut down on the monotony.

Here we have the first rendition of the swing effect, just a few preview swings to show off just what I mean.

I also worked on a secondary and tertiary swing effect with some minor differences in how the shader works and which textures were added to make things feel a bit different.

For all three swings, they are a series of layered particle effects, a primary swing effect, a secondary swing effect both and a simple black particle with similar settings to give the illusion of an outline which will link nicely with the custom renderer for non-particle objects.

In addition to this, I also created matching on-hit effects for the swings, yet again a series of particle effects grouped together.

So, that’s all for this week!

Selamlar, ben yine bir şeylerle uğraşıyordum. Shader Graph ve genel olarak shader oluşturmak benim için nispeten yeni bir konu, ama matematik ve fizik sağolsun, hallediyoruz bir şekilde.

Gördüğünüz model normalde dümdüz uzanan bir obje, 2 farklı shader oluşturup karakterin z eksenindeki pozisyonunu merkez alacak şekilde vertex position değerini manipüle ediyorum. Ancak genel olarak gölge ile alakalı sıkıntım var, özellikle dairesel olan ilk gifte karakterin değil objenin pozisyonunda değişiklik olduğu belli oluyor, sebebi de ışığın açısının değişmemesi. Haliyle hareket olunca gölge de ona göre güncelleniyor.

Intro to Shader Graph in Unity 2018.1 - The Unity Workbench

hello everybod(egg)y, your local hardboiled gamer coming at ya with some progress on the project that was mentioned last week! Now that I’ve got something more substantial, I can tell you that it’s a sports game with a twist called Rocket Basebrawl!

So, this week I went into some beta character prototyping for the game, featuring the base design for two of the game’s teams as seen above.

Here we have the characters loaded into Unity as the team’s engine of choice. I have few close-ups of the current model with the desired effects added to it for you to have a look at!

So what exactly is it that’s going on here? Well, first and foremost I sorted out some basic textures for our models, and I’m using an unlit shader graph with several effects attached to it that give it the ability to respond to light while retaining the hard edges that we need for our desired style.

I’ve also looked into a post-processing effect to retain the outline across the board. There are some more things to iron out before I’ll be ready to show you some more progress on that!

Duvarların arkasındaki düşmanları Xray gibi gösterme mantığı ile yola çıkıp şöyle bir bok yedim.

Nesnelerin arkasında iken farklı bir shader atanıyor. Bu shader içerisinde aradaki mesafeye göre hem renk değişiyor hem de şu parlak çemberin akış hızı değişiyor. Yakındaki düşman kırmızı ve hızlı parlamalar, uzaktaki düşman yeşil ve az parlamalar. Temel mantık bu.

Güzel modeller bulup etrafta gezdikleri bir yapı kurduktan sonra tutorial videosunu çekmeye başlarım sanırım, kanalı çok boşladım 1 ayı geçiyor hiçbir şey atmadım...
