Got to take some time to play with Illugen for the first time today! I really just bashed around and was able to get to something pretty decent in like a hr! Felt very at home for someone comfy in UE's material editor! #fx #vfx #gameart

The consistent scams from posting something on ArtStation is insane. I posted 2 projects today, and I've already received 8 emails from people asking to "put my work in their art gallery", or "Purchase my work for their wedding invite" I'm a VFX artist. You hanging up a monitor in your "gallery"?

Last week I finished up @vfxapprentice.bsky.social 's bootcamp taught by @dianasimonyan.bsky.social Had a lot of fun, learned a lot, and after one last pass on all our FX, they are ready to share! Other fX in the thread below, since Bsky wont let me add more then 1 in a post 🙃 #vfx #rtvfx

Oh hey! 👋 Been gone for a bit, life and what not. But one of the things I've been doing is a VFX Bootcamp, and while working on my Ink splash tonight, UE Crashed (Big surprise) But the good news is the frame it happened to crash on was a pretty good freeze frame, so thought I'd share 🙃 #VFX

Texture preparation in Substance Designer for one of my triangle shader I've posted a while ago 🔺 Chosing random grayscale values → set up a nice red to yellow fading in Unreal (shown next time) ✨ #vfxkate #vfx #UE5 #substancedesigner #UnrealEngine

Now and then, I open this up and watch the procedural animation, amused by how silly it looks.

Happy #VFXFriday #VFX #Realtimevfx #UE5

I forgot to post my work again here! It's a fan art from the game "Mario + The Lapins Crétins: Kingdom Battle" #vfx #realtimevfx #VFXFriday #unreal #fanart #ubisoft #mario

A ghostly trail drifting in circles. #realtimevfx

Super old energy sketch #rtvfx

Very early WIP of the new VFX I'm working on :D It's gonna be really cool when I add everything else I want there :D #RealtimeVFX #VFX #unity

Been lost to a moody brain, then thought, "Hey, why don't you remake some of the first VFX you ever did?!" So, first pass of me remaking the Zap Turret VFX from MonstroCity. Going to really work on that hit effect more, but I do love the "wet" nature of the beam #RealtimeVFX #gamedev #gameart

Taking the chance to repost some useful stuff I made in the past There is a secret Volumetric Painting tool I hid in the #UE5 Valley of the Ancient demo project (free) You can paint how wind flows, affecting fog, sand and small debris #gamedev #techart #vfx #realtimevfx

Ended the year with a study of Brimstone’s smoke from Valorant! I think I’ll make a fiery variant based on Phoenix next :) Happy New Years everyone!! 🎉 #rtvfx #realtimevfx #vfx #ue5

OK, the portal is done, including opening, closure, and BP implementation with keyboard controls, with around 3h+ content. #vfx #vfxfriday #unrealengine5 #ue5 #realtimevfx

Getting ready to open myself up again for contracts and jobs. If you're looking for a real time visual effects artist (#rtvfx #fx #gamedev) then feel free to give me a shout. johnemerson.artstation.com

Starting the year off with something to post on #VFXFriday !! It's still unfinished, but I figured its looking good enough to share 😀 Feedbacks are appreciated! #rtvfx #realtimevfx #vfx #unity #gamedev #art #gameart

Today in my VFX journey.... Learned you can make a super simple and CHEAP distortion material without using any refraction! Prefect way to help keep your FX a little bit more performant! #vfx #gamedev #ue5

Back from holidays, and made some great progress today! I was able to get all of my assets tied together with an FX, so my wind system cranks up to 10 when it appears! I don't have it changing the water yet, but it's def giving my whole scene a feeling of cohesion! #rtvfx #unreal #gamedev

DTI tractography from the Calgary Preschool MRI Dataset from the Developmental Neuroimaging Lab. 3dSlicer for data extraction, Houdini for mesh optimization and animation, Redshift for rendering was used #mri #dti #tractography #houdini #sidefx #redshift #neuro #reconstruction @sidefx.bsky.social

Using a noise texture to cull out particles for a more organic distribution! (And to have more control to mask out problem spots 🔪) #rtvfx #niagara #ue5 #gamedev

Realistic Explosion with #EmberGen Artstation - www.artstation.com/artwork/lGN6bY #vfxfriday #vfx #realtimevfx #ue5

Started working on a new scene today, so I can try out some of the new techniques I learned! Specifically, I want to build up a weather system to control the whole scene. So far we have the start to some wind changing the tree leaves, falling leaves, and water pan direction! #rtvfx #unreal #gamedev

Continuing from yesterday, I finally learned how to have my particles interact with other objects in the world! Hint: The Masks Module in Niagara is stronk 💪 #rtvfx #vfx #gamedev #Unreal #niagara

Old ice effect

Check out some of the gameplay effects we’ve developed in collaboration with Counterplay Games for the Shield in #Godfall #realtimevfx #vfx #gamedev #unrealengine

Learned a cool new technique for feeding game world values into Niagara to make a more dynamic FX! Super cool and opens a lot of doors 👀 Here's some snow where the wind value increases as you place it higher in the world! #rtvfx #unreal #gamedev

My black hole shader #godot #realtimevfx

"No Shelter" Audio by Pelican Sound From 2021, one of my more complicated loops. Lots of hard drive space filled up on this one.

behold progress on Orb. #vfx #ue5 #shaders

More #surfpunk stuff. Spawning VFX : Custom decal, particles and vertex/fragment shader. #gamedev #shaders #vfx #realtimevfx #unity3D #techart

Today I Learned: You can enable "Determinism" on your emitters to let you scrub your FX backwards in Niagara. Just be sure to turn it back off when your done so your FX still has random seeds at the end! #ue5 #rtvfx #gamedev

#VFXFriday Excited to share my latest real-time VFX: an ice magic effect! ❄️💥 Worked on it over 1.5 months, featuring projectiles, impacts, and growing ice chunks. Explored materials, EmberGen smoke, freezing mechanics, and UE5 blueprints. Check it out on ArtStation: www.artstation.com/artwork/zx5r1m

Took my first stab at some Shader code today, with GLSL! Not exactly sure when I would use this, but it was fun to explore, and see some of the code beneath the nodes I use oh so often. Vid I followed for anyone interested: tinyurl.com/yj2vhm6p #GLSL #Shader #VFX #RTVFX #GameDev

Cold ❄️ #vfx #vfxart #gamedev

Playing with mixing a cloth sim from #houdini with #liquigen tonight. Pretty cool to be able to mix the two together relatively easily. But getting the settings JUST right has been tough... Either way fun little experiment! #vfx

More variants + small breakdown / tutorial on artstation www.artstation.com/artwork/2BWb6g

💚 Healing AoE 🟢 #vfx #rtvfx #gameart #unrealengine

Started watching someone play Bayonetta 3 yesterday, and realized I've never tried to do any attack FX. So we mocked up the basics of one today! #ue5 #unreal #vfx #rtvfx #gamedev

Put together my first little procedural tool for UE5 from Houdini today! It's pretty basic, but also super cool to be able to instance objects onto ANY surface automatically! #houdini #ue5 #vfx #rtvfx

It took me all, and I mean ALL day. But I finally made my first procedural model, defined in Houdini, but with full customization on the fly in Unreal. The model itself wasn't that hard. Getting the Houdini Engine plugin to work on Linux was an all day effort though 😩 #houdini #UE5 #VFX

Man Idk what’s going on, but like 70 new people have followed me today. New wave of artists to Bsky? Well hi everyone, welcome!
