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, with optimisation included.

Next up: gen #madewithunreal #gamedev #realtimevfx #vfxfriday

Fire series is in production for Tier 1.

Starting with EmberGen, exploring fire styles and getting solid flipbooks out of it. From there we build the material and use curves to drive the color and style consistently across the whole project, rather than tweaking things
Still polishing the setup before releasing.

A look at what's coming in the final video of the teleport VFX series.

So far we've covered swirl meshes in Houdini, smoke in EmberGen, and material/Niagara work in Unreal.
In the next video: world position offset on the character material, blueprint integration, and a final s the series.

Starting in Houdini, building a custom spiral mesh with axis and scale controls so the shape can actually be art-directed instead of just generated.

Second free series after muzzle flash, and a bit more complex. More ext few weeks.

Put together a pack of 20+ tileable noise textures I actually use, the same ones behind a lot of the erosion in the materials and UV distortion effects in my tutorials.

Comes with a tutorial on how I use them when building VFX.
