Brass in my Godot gun pack bounces twice with no physics. On a flat floor the hit time comes straight out of the quadratic.
The vertex shader just loops over the two bounces from the casing's age.

My first splashes were big white sheets and looked fake! Now a hit throws 65 fine droplets and the vertex shader works out each arc from the drop's index.
It's 25% off till Nov 4.

When working with large, simple shapes, add low-contrast, high-detail breakup to bring out the style without making the effect look too busy.

Working with AI -- Vol.52
The 1050 Ti is already maxed out at this screen resolution. I had to increase the step size to save performance, but banding started appearing in the details. After sending a screenshot to DeepSeek, it provided a solution.

Fake Liquids!
The stream is created by deforming and rotating a torus, using a world-space radial gradient to gradually pull it away from the nozzle. A pulsating procedural texture drives the displacement and generates the normals for added detail #gamedev #VFX #realtimeVFX

I gave a screenshot of this glow banding issue to DeepSeek to analyze. It broke down a ton of causes and gave me 4 solutions. I went with the simplest one—smooth interpolation—and it fixed everything perfectly!

My Godot wet effect never swaps your material. It's two thin shells over the mesh, one darker and one shiny.
If the mesh is burning, it finds a child with extinguish() and calls it.

I asked DeepSeek: currently, using the condition "is the fragment's local space Y-coord greater than the current tip height" to decide whether to perform ray marching—is this bad for the visual result?

My Godot curse effect rides along on skinned meshes now, arms and knees too.
I work out the spread once in the rest pose. Only the drawing follows the bones.

The next part of the drone destruction is done, adding the main explosion.
Built the flipbook from scratch in EmberGen, tweaking parameters to get an aerial explosion that suits the drone. Then into Unreal for a simple material and Niagara

I generate branch start/end points in the vertex stage, then interpolate from the main trunk to those points in the fragment stage. As a result, enabling or disabling branches has almost zero performance cost. Coding credit goes to DeepSeek!

You got struck by lightning!
Got DeepSeek to add a fade-out effect at the tips of the lightning and write a brightness control script. I bet billboard lightning VFX can't pull off an effect like this.

I never let the grit in my free Godot footstep dust touch physics. The vertex shader flies each pebble on an arc with one squashed bounce off its own floor.
Landing rings grow with fall speed.
