hey ive been doing art of like game ideas and i think im pretty good for someone whos not like copying much or watching much tuts at all and its been lonely can i like add u on disc and stuff and u can like teach me or sum cuz i rlly need it i wanna know what u think about my ideas also

As a game VFX Artist, I would love to make couple of corrections so that people that want to try it out, don't get confused. Effects are actually made inside of an engine (Unreal, Unity, Godot) with help of particle editors (Niagara, Shuriken Particle System, VFX Graph) and not Blender. We usually use Blender to create meshes for our effects, but not to create effects inside it. So if you want to make effects for games then grab the engine first and look for tutorials for specific particle editor. Thanks for video though, glad that people talk about this beautiful specialization that not too many know about.

@arnaudkaho7137

You basically have two ways of doing VFX : 1) Particles (hundred/thousands of dots/3D/2D objects, doing thing) 2) Mesh shape. Basically a 3D object that you animate with blender or a vfx program. For example Niagara in UE5. @@tannermorgan6089 Once you can merge both to create what you have in mind, you are pro.

I wouldn't say we learned nothing at all. It's more like we learned the first 5 - 10% and the rest of the lesson is fragmented in some deeper rooms of the dungeon. The 'LINK' 🥁 at the end does seem to open up another level in the dungeon (admittedly, not 100%). Spoiler alert: the next vid features *Blender Nodes* recipes that require a lot of self-research to figure out WHY the node recipe works (I haven't yet been able to find some supplemental tutorials to help understand the second-layer of tutorials yet).

Literally nothing was explained in the video other than the obvious things. People focus too much on the memes and not enough on the fact this guy barely explains anything.

If you're already slightly familiar with how 3d apps work, the video explains a decent bit tbh. You need to know how to texture a basic object though, and specifically how to apply a scrolling texture to it. This provides the alpha channel (showing which area is visible vs transparent), allowing you to make a simple flat rectangular plane become an animated curved flame shape instead, for instance. Then you have to chose what colours the texture will have (and likely animate their transitions too), and hey presto, you've got a simple texture animation. If it all sounded Greek to you though, then you'll wanna look up a dedicated scrolling texture / moving texture tutorial, and you'll be making them in no time. Good luck!

@@Smeaf I’ve seen videos using software such as Fotosketcher to generate the painterly-esq textures and also videos that speak about camera projection, but they never really give you a Tutorial, it’s always an explainer on the theory of the style. For reference of the style there’s cinematic ads for the game Valorant and also a love,death,robots episode which is called in the tall grass. This NPR style is becoming more prominent in animations even being seen in puss on boots, and I know for a fact that there’s heeaaaps of people that want a clear, concise and easy to follow video that can enable them to make their art, and that’s your specialty!

As a game animator who also does some vfx I'd also like to add another correction to the ones given by @manusvfx - this video is not about Animation, it's about VFX. It's different fields which require different skillsets, and most studios, even smaller ones, have different people for animation and vfx. It's actually quite painful confusion when people at work assume that if you're 'an animator' you can do vfx as well, because 'hey, it's moving, it must be animation!'. The correct answer would usually be either "no, I am an animator, I don't do VFX", or "ok, I can do this VFX but that's another job title, so I'd like to get paid extra for that".

Well, yes but no. You cannot simply animate effects on a game engine, you have to do it either by code or using animation lapse if it's a particle effect, if it's a shader, you'll have to use code.
