Now that the Unity 2018.3 beta is publicly available, I can finally feast my own eyes on the elements of particular interest to me in the new VFX for HDRP (available in a branch on github)

As anticipated it was extremely trivial to get the fluid sim working with the new Unity HDRP VFX particles, since 3D texture parameters will accept a 3D RenderTexture without me needing to hack anything :) Might take another week for me to post a demo video though.

I'm still some days or weeks away from posting Unity HDRP VFX test videos so here is a simple teaser image as I start to learn about some of the useful blocks this system has, and what happens when I combine conform to signed distance field function with velocity from fluid sim

I'm glad of the #VisualEffectGraph name, since just calling it VFX was way too generic and hard to search for. Long live the #VisualEffectGraph, I have been playing with it for weeks and it is excellent.

Feedback for Unity VFX graph (+ instruction about how to setup) it can be done on Unity Forum: forum.unity.com/threads/feedba… (you can also share your creation :) )

If you missed the #Unity Roadmap talk that @stinekjaerboell and I did yesterday, it’ll be up on YouTube soon, but you can grab a PDF of the deck here dropbox.com/s/j9sga9giybo4… #gamedev #unitela #unity3d

Here’s my Mesh-to-Signed-Distance-Field generator. As a test, thought it would be fun to intersect it with procedural SDF and ray march till it bleeds. 😁 #VisualEffectGraph doesn’t spawn from meshes, needs an SDF. Let me know if you’d like it and I can put it up. #unity3d

Finally! The #VisualEffectGraph is available via the package manager! We also released a project with sample effects you can explore and learn from: github.com/Unity-Technolo… More samples will come later so, stay tuned! :) #realtimevfx #unity3d

Happy New Year! We released three new Samples for #VisualEffectGraph ! You can get these here as well as pre-built binaries for Windows and macOS : github.com/Unity-Technolo… #RealTimeVFX #unity3d

Passing by these squeezies in Aldi I just had to...

Great and inspiring work as always!

I got a lot of mileage out of combining a fluid sim with Unity HDRP Density Volumes (more videos soon, honest) and now I have noticed that Unity appear to be working on an implementation of their own: github.com/Unity-Technolo…

Well, this is very interesting from Nicholas Watt – the govt is changing the way it is releasing death figures, which “may not actually be the deaths that have taken place over the last 24 hrs” as family consent is now required:

BBC reporters got very confused when reporting on the nuclear roadmap, and somehow imagined a single plant was being announced that would quadruple our nuclear generation capacity, oops! "The new plant would quadruple energy supplies by 2050, they say" bbc.co.uk/news/business-…
