i threw this shader together for the energy shield today and im quite proud of it. its mainly inspired by the vortex shield in titanfall but i wanted something unique and i think i achieved that quite well.

Tried throwing 100+ objects through our voxel collision test using C++ and compute shaders… and uh… behold: the artifact parade 😵‍💫

We’re seeing... ‘unexpected variance’ 😅 but that’s the fun, right?

Godot dev question:
Added a depth-blur shader to our parallax background and now we get jitter instead of smooth movement.

Feels like a shader efficiency issue... hoping to spark some discussions about shader efficiency. Maybe inspire a bug fix.

been a while (and 2 different overhauls again)
- even BETTER clouds
- vastly improved GI and denoiser
- reflections are now SSRT + voxel RT
- yet another cloud overhaul
- crepuscular rays
- improved water volumetrics
- improved color grading (ACES tonemap)
