You can also use Posterize effect to achieve such banding
Quick view of the technique I use to make toon like fx with no spritesheet, using dissolve shaders. The nice thing about this technique its that you can quickly clearly visualize the end result and the timing. #vfxfriday #realtimevfx #shader #gameart #photoshop #UE4

Bogged Out! Whew, just finished #ldjam46 game with awesome team! What a weekend! It's a game where we can't fight, but our big buddy can. We should protect him on order to stay alive. Check this out: ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/… #gamedev #indiedev #ue4

It wouldn't be possible without my awesome team: @23edsa, @KorbenDetka, Alexandra Limina, Eldar, Enka, ed__m, opnmnv​​, fluffy-pisya and fl3xo​​. Can't thank them enough!

Super neat trick!
This is a seagull I made for The Pathless. I made it without using skeletal meshes or even blendshapes, to keep it cheap. I used a couple tricks to get nice animation regardless! Tech-art break down in thread: #techart #gamedev #UnrealEngine #ThePathless

@bizofindiegames seems like day 1 is already started, but doesn't videos available for free for the first 24 hours? I can't watch it - I'm getting "6007. Device/Browser does not support premium content" error in Chrome and unlimited load in Opera.😓

Me with colleagues mixed Winnie the Pooh and Noir in this fake game trailer as part of our indoor contest. This was made just for fun. WARNING: Some horrible deaths of our favorite characters appears on this video and I feel horrible for it.😭 #gamedev #ue4 #unrealengine

Quick #vfx tutorial on how make particle transitions depending on camera position. It was heavily inspired by @JasperRLZ recent tweet. Hope you'll find it useful! #gamedev #indiedev #tutorial #ue4 #UnrealEngine #realtimeVFX

But at first, let's check the original effect - it's from Super Mario Galaxy game. You can check it with awesome Noclip site, where you can fly across the map from different games. xitter.cf/JasperRLZ/status/11981…
I've talked about Nintendo using custom mipmaps for more subtle effects, before, but here's a really blatant one. Snowball particles turn into snowflakes when the camera gets close. Gives a really comfy vibe to the place. noclip.website/#smg/IceVolca…

We have finished working on a game for #UE4JAM! It's called Light Up and this is a relaxing simulator of lighthouse keeper on flying island. yarpoplar.itch.io/lights-up #unrealjam #gamedev #UE4

It was a really hard week for us, but somehow we managed to finish it. Not everything was made as we wanted to, but at least it's working!

@adamgryu hey, I think everyone asked you about this thousands of times (but I didn't found it, sorry), but do you have any plans releasing A Short Hike on Switch?
Work in progress on home sweet home for our lighthouse keeper #ue4jam game. #unrealjam #ue4 #gamedev

Bouncing ball for #VFXFriday. Everything was made purely with shaders, particle systems and a little bit of blueprints in #UE4, no skeleton animations was used. #realtimevfx #VFX #unrealengine #gamedev

Hey #VFX Artists! 💥 Will someone planning to be on #gic19 this year? I would give a talk about vfx shaders and so on, but after that I'm completely don't know what to do! 😅 It would be nice to meet some brothers-and-sisters in arms

@RocketJuiceGame Hey guys, just found your game on YouTube and I think it's awesome!!! BUT as a huge fan of Jet Set Radio and Air Gear, I think your game may be a little faster, don't you think? Here is a proof of concept (speed up trailer up to 142%)
