Hello everyone!
I'm nearly finished with my wave generator for water animations and the water shader itself. I think you'll be surprised how simple it is! I'll be starting on the script soon most likely, but because of delays with sponsors this video won't be out till probably mid July. Because of this I've been taking it a bit easier and playing the new tft set and final fantasy 16, whic...
2023-06-22 13:49:24 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone I've got a bit of an update for the next video regarding water rendering.
The project is going to be composed of two main parts, the fft simulation and the entire water shader itself. Both of these are going to be a lot of work and require pretty in depth explanations, so in favor of not making another 30+ minute video I will be splitting it up into two. I know I've s...
2023-06-08 04:58:47 +0000 UTC View PostThanks for all of the support with the new video! I really appreciate it.
Like I said at the end of the video, the next topic has been decided already since the smoke grenade vid actually wasn't supposed to be the video but their reveal trailer came out after everyone had already voted and I thought it would make for a good video so we voted again.
As a reminder, the next video will...

Thanks for your patience, the video has been put up on the channel!
Hopefully this is the last time a video takes 2 months lol
2023-05-30 13:13:08 +0000 UTC View PostStarting work on the script today and will hopefully have the video out within the next 3 weeks!
Sorry it took so long, this has been a really complex project.
2023-05-02 16:59:43 +0000 UTC View PostProgress on the cs2 smoke video is coming along! I'm essentially done with all of the volumetric lighting logic and stuff which I started with since I thought it'd be the most complex. But, still pretty far from done as now I have to get the smoke to interact with the environment. Then after that finalize the visuals with proper density behavior and more sophisticated use of noise textures.
... 2023-04-11 05:28:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe poll overwhelmingly decided to demake the CS2 smoke grenades, so I will make that video before the water video.
Please look forward to it!
2023-03-30 04:10:48 +0000 UTC View PostWith the release of CS2's beta there has been lots of hype over their responsive volumetric smoke grenades. I have seen many devs on twitter try to recreate it but none of them have really gotten it right, and I would love to make a video on it as lot's of non programmers are obsessed with them right now so it would be a great opportunity to teach graphics!
If you don't know what I am tal...

The pixel sorting video has been released, please enjoy!
I'm editing the new video and it should be out within the week, which means it's time to vote on the next video topic!
For new patrons, the way this works is I provide you a list of video titles as well as how long I think the video will take to produce in parenthesis (e.g. Making My Own RetroMMO??? (Long)), as some topics will take me significantly less time to research and implement tha...
2023-03-21 18:54:07 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
Development on the project for the video finished a little over a week ago and since then I've been writing the script. I spent this past weekend in LA for the streamer awards which has delayed the script a few days but I'll be finishing that up soon and will begin editing the video when I can.
I am motivated to work after my short vacation so expect this new video t...

When I mentally ended the poll chromatic aberration and pixel sorting were tied, so I made a series of shorts on effects I had not covered yet including chromatic aberration as the topic ended up not being complex enough for a full length video.
Pixel sorting has required a lot of research, but I now have a plan for the implementation and it should be done this week! If everything goes ri...
2023-02-27 23:14:55 +0000 UTC View PostThis one is about what won the poll, chromatic aberration!

This ended up as a short because there isn't much to talk about for it in a full video and I don't want to rehash a lot of information I've already covered. I have one more short to edit and then I'll start o...

Today I finished the necessary development for the next video on depth of field (which won the poll). The shader has been released as part of my ff14 shader pack, so if you're interested be sure to check that out!
Looking to get this video out in the next 2 weeks, please look forward to it.

2022-12-20 02:40:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe script for the next video is finished, this one was pretty hard to write but hopefully the editing won't take as long as the kuwahara vid since the demonstrations aren't nearly as complex.
Please look forward to it!

Try out the difference of gaussians shader and presets while I work on the new video!

Hey everyone!
Progress on the next video is moving forward! I'm nearly finished with the Unity shader and then I'll convert it to a reshade effect for ff14 and then I'll start on the script this weekend. Here's some examples of the effect in action, the last feature I'm about to implement will be quite exciting as well which is cross hatching.

Hello everyone, a new short has been released! This is the first in a series on simple shader techniques that I can cover in 60 seconds or less, that I wouldn't be able to dedicate a full video to.
I'm hoping I can make these relatively easily inbetween the bigger videos as a way to take a break but still produce content for you all.
Do you have any ideas as to what effects I could ...
2022-11-19 22:22:42 +0000 UTC View PostIf you're seeing this then words can't describe how much I appreciate your support in getting me one step closer towards my dream.
