【Free Shader + Project File】
Hi everyone, today I want to share a Shader + Project file I created some time ago.
Inspired by KDA Ahri, in this project, I mainly used Layer Weight to create the main effects of the Shaders and Soft Body Physics to animate the effects.

Fellow
#vfx
artists, take this as an extremely blunt 5-star review
The session was enjoyable, extremely helpful and insightful; this one hour covered a vast amount of blind-spots in my technique and where I can improve the player experience (and more)
Cannot recommend it enough
hey all! as a result of the past few months, I'm currently experiencing some significant financial hardship, so I'm looking to offer up my time to try to supplement that with some real-time ✨VFX Art Mentorship! ✨
feel free to dm with questions! 😊

Explanation:
In front of the camera I've placed a card whose UV coords are set to 'window.' I'm then using a modified Flipbook node (inspired by one by
@cmzw_
) to divide the screen into the correct number of segments. Since the camera is stationary, nothing needs to be parented

How would you make these in engine?
So far I've been thinking of
(a) physical geometry via ribbons and/or WPO
(b) skybox shader with a LOT of parallax wizardry
I heard yesterday this is the most viewed video about the northern lights in the world with 2.6 Billion views in total😳 It was also my first tweet here and I was totally shocked about the attention it got here.
Now I understand 😄🇫🇮✨
