    2D SDF – Manipulate Space – Material Function Library

    in ,

    Introduction This is the third part of a series of posts about 2D SDF, check out the first one where I show some simple shapes and explain the basics to visualize them, and the second one where I show different ways to combine them!I think it’s very useful and valuable knowledge for every Technical or Environment Artist, but really for anyone that…

    Material Function Library UE5 This is the Second Part of a 2D Sign Distance Field Material Function Library I created for Unreal Engine.SDFs can be used in various different ways, in this case, they are very powerful and useful when creating materials. Here you can see different ways shapes can be combined.Check out the blog…

    Introduction I’ve been working on a Material Function Library for 2D Sign Distance Field that contains shapes and relative merging and manipulating operations.I think it’s very useful and valuable knowledge for any Technical or Environment Artist, but really for anyone that works with materials. There will be a few posts about this topic, in this first one, I will…

    BREATHE Fan Art – Diorama UE5 Diorama inspired by the fantastic work of Victor Mosquera Fun, quick project, done in a couple of weeks in UE5, using one of its first releases.I wanted to make a visually interesting but different environment where I could experiment with the creation of some FXs. It was also a…

  • Gradient Visualizer Material Function

    Gradient Visualizer Material Function

    in ,

    Similar to what I’ve done in Substance Designer to visualize the Smooth Stepping Curve Function I made. I created a Material Function in Unreal Engine to use as a tool to visualize sine waves or any gradient I use in my materials for various FXs. If you think this could be something useful, you can find…

  • Hologram Shader

    Hologram Shader

    in , ,

    Realtime FX This is a Hologram Material I’ve done almost three years ago, it was a good way to explore how to use and manipulate sine waves, as well as create some useful functions.I tried to make it as modular as possible so that different sections can be pulled out and recombined in other materials,…

  • Triangle Wave Function/Modulation

    Triangle Wave Function/Modulation

    in ,

    The triangle wave function it’s a cheaper alternative to a sine wave, it can be very useful as the alpha input for a lerp node when working with materials or FXs.In some cases, it might be exactly what you’re after since it allows you to blend between two inputs in a linear way. This is what a remapped 0…

    Diorama Almost a couple of years ago, I was fortunate enough to work as a Technical Artist on this project at Framestore!Kippy’s Escape is an open-source HoloLens 2 sample app built to show off the features of the new Mixed Reality UX Toolkit plugin for Unreal Engine.It was an amazing experience, exciting and fun. I…

    Diorama I’m excited about this little project!A personal project I worked on in my free time the last couple of weeks, I had the chance to explore more UE5 and practice a stylized look and FXs. The reference is a painting painted by the main character of an anime (Blue Period). He represents “Bond” as…
