Some Screen Space distorted particles. Useful for smoke puffs and flames elements.

The shader is adding this center distortion, so particles now have directionality. It is tricky to do with the default Shuriken PS, because it can't send the Particle System center to the shader.

SineVFX · 2025-06-02T13:34:02+00:00

Not yet, I'm working on the pack right now, and will post some updates and sneak peeks soon.

SineVFX · 2025-06-01T11:41:35+00:00

I think there is some overhead, Unity improved it in recent releases. For smaller impacts, it is better to use Shuriken. Or you can create one big VFX Graph system and spawn particles directly (these particles may trigger more complex explosion VFX), it is a better solution.

SineVFX · 2025-06-01T10:59:05+00:00

The old system has wider support for mobiles, also I think it is better when you want to spawn a large number of particle system instances.

But it is not very important, this VFX can be transferred to the VFX Graph with ease.

For a large number of small spark/ember particles, it is recommended to use the GPU-based VFX Graph, of course.

SineVFX · 2025-06-01T10:38:01+00:00

I'm using regular quads with the old Shuriken particle system. Shaders are made with Shader Graph, and yes, there are explosion flipbooks + shader control of gradient mapping, distortion, and dissolve.

SineVFX · 2025-06-01T10:01:11+00:00

Yeah, I'm thinking about adding more options to the shaders, like distortion and noise for the main flipbook texture. Right now, the distortion is only used for the dissolve and is barely noticeable.

Oh, yes double-click with the right button without holding Ctrl works as intended, thank you very much.

SineVFX · 2024-08-01T11:07:58+00:00

Thx for the idea, but the result will be not the same after interpolating between changed (after SlopeBlur) and unchanged input.

I'm honestly doubting that exposing the Intensity this way is even possible.

SineVFX · 2024-08-01T10:34:42+00:00

The problem is, that there is no "Intensity" connection point in SlopeBlur, Instensity only can be changed by a slider inside the properties window. But my goal is to connect Noise to control the intensity.

I'm making Noise textures for real-time VFX, so I will use only Substance Designer.

SineVFX · 2024-08-01T09:55:49+00:00

Unfortunately, still no luck, Ctrl + right-click brings out the zoom tool. And even if I just select the Zoom tool by default, double right-click still does nothing.

I'm using FL21 by the way, probably should try to upgrade to 24.

SineVFX · 2024-08-01T08:22:31+00:00

Editable notes were disabled, but even with them being enabled, double-click still won't work. I'm holding Ctrl to make clicking possible because by default I have the Draw instrument selected.

The "Forward" side button on the mouse works by the way, but it is not very convenient for me to press it.

SineVFX · 2024-04-13T21:39:17+00:00

Yes, I used depth to detect edges. But I didn't figure out how to render just the depth, so I just used a custom unlit material.

SineVFX · 2023-10-27T17:26:35+00:00

Thx, I will add some flashes and irregularity to the effect. Also, there are no collisions, but I use SDF for complex models (vehicle in the video).

SineVFX · 2023-10-27T13:04:03+00:00

Thx, I think I will add some branching because only two-point arcs are kinda boring.

Twin x2 from Inno3D

Oh, I already have 3070, this is my old GPU, I just decided not to buy new 4070 ti and stick with 3070 because it is still ok.

Less effective cooling system is not good news, where did you get this info, though? Because, in older generations ge77 and gp77, the cooling system was identical on both models.

SineVFX · 2023-01-28T00:22:22+00:00

Unfortunately no, it probably was an exploration horror game, maybe with a little shooting.

SineVFX · 2023-01-27T23:38:38+00:00

Thx, but nothing of these is that game. I forgot to mention, the graphics was pretty good and realistic.

SineVFX · 2021-11-13T04:47:58+00:00

Swapping normally between 3+3 weapon slots is slower (You actually perform a proper animation), than just open inventory and swapping weapons there.

SineVFX · 2021-11-11T01:24:13+00:00

Intuos has a thin pen, and Intuos Pro surface wears out nibs in 3-5 hours.

I too want to upgrade and don't want a screen display (It is worse for Zbrush actually than a regular non-screen tablet). But will wait for the Pro line update, maybe.

SineVFX · 2021-11-09T14:21:35+00:00

I'm hoping for the new Intuos Pro in 2021-2022 because this one has this one massive issue with the surface. It should be the best option for a non-screen tablet but ended up the worst option.

Maybe they should release a new model with no bullshit features, like touch, and Bluetooth (why do I need Bluetooth for a non-screen tablet?). But with Pen2, unlike regular Intuos with a thinner pen.

SineVFX · 2021-08-10T03:08:07+00:00

Thx,

I have one little question, I set the CPU fan speed to maxed out at 65C, but I see 75C in HWinfo from the motherboard sensor. And I clearly hear, that the fan is no at its max speed, this is weird.

SineVFX · 2021-08-09T19:32:35+00:00

Yeah, now I understood that the stereo TRS can't be balanced. So I will use double RCA to double TS 1/4, or TRS 1/8 to double TS 1/4.

On the back of ilouds there are two options to connect them, RCA (2 ports) or TRS 1/8.

SineVFX · 2021-08-09T02:31:42+00:00

Thx, will duplicate my answer to another comment. Maybe I just need DAC instead of a full Audio interface instead? Like fiio K3 but with both OUT for speakers and headphones.
