Not vfx related, but I've been trying to learn how to draw and wanted to document some progress of my sketching. November 2025 (left) <-- April 2025 (right)

Didn't really know what I was going for with this but it turned out cool. #rtvfx #realtimevfx #gamedev #ue5

Trying to learn geometry nodes in blender. Scattering grass cards and all the tree geo are procedural. Movement done by basic uv distortion and vertex displacement. Much more responsive than houdini, but I don't like it as much. #b3d #blender #geometrynodes

Pyro sim and realism practice #VFXFriday #rtvfx #realtimevfx #gamedev #ue5

Smokey magic orb thing for a sketch. Not exactly what I set out to do, but I think it turned out well. #VFXFriday #rtvfx #realtimevfx #gamedev #ue5

Stylized flame sketch based on Promare #rtvfx #vfx #gamedev #ue5

Tried recreating the Portal 2 gels and made a little environment to go with it. Made with render targets and I actually gave the gels collision volumes to actually make you jump and stuff. #VFXFriday #rtvfx #vfx #gamedev #ue5

Lightning shockwave sketch, trying to get back at it #realtimevfx #vfx #ue5 #gamedev #rtvfx

Been working on learning to draw and paint lately, and decided to paint this based on one of my friend's space marine minis. #art #40k

Made this small windy orb explosion sketch. #VFXFriday #rtvfx #vfx #gamedev #ue5

Didn't do any other fx this week so I made this flame slash real quick just to have something. #VFXFriday #rtvfx #vfx #gamedev #ue5

It feels great when you start having a good collection of materials and textures, you can just whip things together in a short amount of time. #rtvfx #vfx #gamedev #ue5

Basic fireball spell this week, AlphaComposite blend mode coming in clutch for that nice glow. #VFXFriday #rtvfx #vfx #gamedev #ue5

Quick vfx sketch I did today, tried to get a similar look to the dlc portal in Dark Souls. #rtvfx #vfx #gamedev #ue5

Even more pyro sims! Animated tank in #blender and most of the sims done in #embergen #VFXFriday #rtvfx #vfx #gamedev #ue5

Practicing pyro sims in #houdini and #embergen, trying to get faster at it #VFXFriday #rtvfx #vfx #gamedev #ue5

Animated Anby doing a million stab with some stylized vfx #rtvfx #vfx #gamedev #stylized #ue5

WIP of a Gerstner wave material. Going to try and add foam and splashes with particles next. #rtvfx #realtimevfx

To start off Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame #eldenring

Let's see if I actually commit to making art.
