Toon Fire Files

Here are the files for the incoming Toon Fire tutorial. Have a poke around and see how it's put together! Any question, hit me up in the comments or in Discord.

Edit: Added a 2017 v...

Toon Fire Incoming and schedule update

Here's a sneak peek of the next video tutorial, where I'll make some simple, classic, Toon Fire.

In terms of release schedule, I think it would probably be better to push out the files and write-up before the video, because that's stuff I usually have ready in advance compared to the video, which ...

Work in Progress Updates

Here are some things I've been working on:

Up above you can see that the Subsurface Scattering rim mask (faking spherical normals to limit the effect to the outside edge of the mesh) that worked for foliage, also works for hair and faces - it basically just keeps the inner area of a mesh dark - so...

Volumetric Clouds Write-up

If you haven't yet watched the video detailing the creation of this shader, you can view it here: Volumetric Clouds in Unity. 

The basis of this effect is drawing a vertical stack of quads, e...

Optimised 3d noise Volume Clouds, for VR... ?

Using the pre-modelled quad stack, which may work better in VR, here is the shader as optimised as I can think to make it while still keeping it soft edged.

Quick Ghost Shader

 I knocked together a quick ghost shader with some fresnel rim light and refraction. Also vertex wobble and a up and down bobbing done in shader.  I'll do a proper write up soon (and the Volumetric Clouds write up is still incoming!). There is a bloom image effect on this gif, but no light...

Ghost Shader Files

The files for the Ghost Shader. Yes, it even includes the teapot.

This was a quick shader, so let me know if there's anything missing or poorly put together. Thanks.

Need more performant clouds?

Here are the Volume clouds - super lite version. This is with the directional light completely stripped out, which makes it MUCH more performant - and it's not really noticeable is it? 90% of the effect is carried by the ambient and SSS contributions. The SSS gives a general impression of the light ...

Volumetric Clouds Lite

Here's a version of the shader with a bunch of unnecessary additions stripped away, to make it as light as possible while still retaining the same basic look - the only way to make it more performant, as far as...

Volumetric Clouds Source Files

Here are the files I used in the Volumetric Clouds video. (Everything is included in the unitypackage OR zip file, the individual files aren't needed if you've already grabbed one of those).

If you haven't seen the video yet, you can watch it here: 2018-09-19 01:32:43 +0000 UTC View Post

Volumetric Clouds in Unity

Tier adjustment. $5+ gets file access!

Since this Patreon is super new, it's still in flux as I figure out the best way to set up tiers and rewards.

So I'm making the tiers more generous:

$10 for access to the source files felt too high, so I've dropped file access down to anybody supporting at $5 or above.

Lit Volumetric Clouds incoming

This is a big topic, so I might have to break it down into two separate videos. One detailing how to generate 3d volumetric clouds, and a second video on how to fake the lighting. I hope to be done with part 1 in the next week.

Animated Candle Flame Source Files

 Here are the source files for the Animated Candle Flame shader.

There is the adjustable 3 colour Candle Flame shader, as well as an optimised version that just uses a standard texture.

I've al...
