I smashed out this fun fire VFX prototype today. It was a fun, little Tech-art exercise.
It's all 2D and uses a vertex offset in the shader to give it the illusion of depth when rotating around the sphere.

Compression has really taken something from this one

There is a great thread about the technique here by @Ed_dV. While I used a slightly different technique to push the vertices towards the camera. This thread perfectly breaks down how and why to do it

Camera Facing Billboard Toon Fire tip: Push the quad vertices forward a bit towards the camera, so that when you're rotating around it, it overlaps the geometry more and gives a sense of volume. Breath of the Wild does it, you should do it too.

There is something funny about how the "read blog" button in the email that @unity sent out, (announcing unity 6 is here) gives a 404 error

Soon we’ll be launching a change to how the block function works.
If your posts are set to public, accounts you have blocked will be able to view them, but they will not be able to engage (like, reply, repost, etc.).

wild that we go through a vetting process of upwards of 4 interviews, portfolio reviews, art tests, years learning the proprietary engines/tools not to mention the tribal knowledge development- only to be cut for a cynical business practice made to make the board feel good

After a small delay (thanks to a (mostly) socials free MIGW which I do recommend) here is the link to my working files for anyone who missed them. The aim is to show just how simple some of my example setups were, and to make rigging seem a lot more achievable :D

I've got to give a blanket goodbye to everyone I didn't get to say goodbye to tonight. There were just too many great people to chat with tonight and I don't have faith in the combination of PTV and my time blindness

It's clear from their parallels talk that @tdogextreme is not just making one of the best dating sims, but also finally giving us proper authentic clown representation in games (complete with the often misunderstood clown eldritch powers)
