Bringing Foliage to Life using Physics - Legacy Devlog #9 

These shaders are now available as a package: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ecYWvfMoRIM.html

Shaders? I didn't think my nightmares would come haunt me here (Looks great btw)

I just binged all of these devlogs - my guy you're on to something. Also, we seem to have started making videos one day apart!

1:06 well atleast if you ever need to make an exploding tree you know how 😂

Wow, that technique is amazing! exactly what i was looking for. Are you working with the 2D Renderer? if so, i would really appreciate if you could share the shader information or make a tutorial if you got the time. Thanks for the insight anyways.

I absolutely love the animation for the grass and trees! Just found you're channel and now I can't stop binging it

Stuff like this is super important, I don't think it needs to wait to the end :) otherwise you won't generate as much excitement when you show your game to people

Astortion looks great, interested to see it's future! I am incredibly curious to the process around 00:45 of how you've actually implemented the movement through a fragment shader (or how that is even made use of in shadergraph being as the sprite masters seem to only take vertex inputs) and pixelating it to the proper resolution of your art/scene. After several hours of research you seem to be the only person on the entire internet to have arrived at this kind of result with 2d shadergraph and this is basically exactly what I've been after for some time now, so if there's any chance you could spare a moment for an explanation, or hell even just a pic of the graph- I'd be ravenously grateful Fantastic work btw, the later process of entity interaction is really clever.

I've been looking for a tutorial or blog explaining how the two Ori games made their foliage sway depending on the player movement and velocity (as well as the force of explosions, enemy movements etc, basically any force), and I think this is it (or at least one way to do it). If you ever make a tutorial on this, I would appreciate it massively. I have tried some other methods but its not exactly what I'm looking for.

Oh boy. I had a similar thing going on with the sway stuff. Actually I exactly used cables hanging from the ceiling that sway when the player touches them. But since I'm an art and music guy and can't program for shit, I just rendered out some animations and went from there... 20 minutes of work and it was done. Not very intricate and sophisticated... I'm a simpleton sometimes...

The foliage movement looks awesome! I just do a simple squash/stretch/rotate technique XD

This is some high level math stuff lol.

I love that technique and I want it too. Do you want to share any tips on how overlay the correct part of the render texture to the uv's of the individual grass sprites? That's the only step I can't figure out without losing my mind.

Your voice kinda sounds like Naval Ravikant

I recently stumbled on these devlogs in my recommended, and though I am not a game developer, I am an avid fan of pixel artistry. Seeing what you have done with pixel art meshing it with modern game design is very spectacular. These developer entries are also so wholesome to listen to as you are so calm and refreshing in your presentation. It makes me wish I was a developer who could glean more about the technical aspects of your work rather than just an admiring bystander.

This is looking beautiful!!!! Are you going to do any tutorial for this in future?

Nice video, will start implementing this into my game. Thanks! PS. Also, what's the music at the start of the video? I really liked it =)

Hi man! Astortion looks great! I was curious: I can make a fragment shader, but I was wondering how to pixelate it like yours?

The Pixel art for the environment looks great!

This looks amazing! You're so talented i dont even have te patience to start coding...

Looks incredible!

First? Nice

bruh this looks just great

Hey man! Nice devlog, love the art. I do have a question, is your game locked to one resolution? Because my pixel art tends to distort on revolutions that aren’t 1920x1080? My sprites are 32 x 32 ppu and my camera size is set to the correct calculated size. Good vid bro

54 minutes into this presentation there's a great grass demonstration: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MKX45_riWQA.html It's still rubber grass that doesn't stay downtrodden though

- ahem - particle simulations (dust, leaves, water splashes etc.) systemic interactions (birds that fly away when you run past them, people lifting their heads etc.) imagine running complex interactions like that, all on the gpu. You could scale it up to insane numbers, now that is some emersion right there.

I find your channel very inspiring. Great work and thanks for sharing knowledge

0:45 how does one simply "add pixelation"?

Very cool mate, its on the list of things

Looks so cool!

Very nice 👍🏼 at 0:43 are u able to do that using the shader graph to get that effect?

This is the true definition of how devlogs should be. It shouldnt be a tutorial but still tells the ideas/concepts used to progress making a certain part of ur game 🎉

Great content! Been using this video as a reference and managed to implement something similar in Godot.

I really like to learn more about this velocity buffer thing

Love the videos. Would really like some details on that fragment shader that you started out with.

some tutorial? :0

Your videos are super Awesome

How does one start learning this shader wizardry?

What for a game is this?

Looks really great! Thank you for sharing

goodbye blue sky on the background music. GOD what a good taste!

1:18 Can you share this shader by a photo please? Because i don't know anything about shaders and this is so cool :)

things like this are so classy.

Nice job! Game's looking good!

Ee

I like it!

How do you distort vertecies in unity?

I thought you'd share or like? Lol

this urp or hdrp ?

Hello Many Thanks for sharing this knowledge And to Everyone Reading this comment - SUBSCRIBE!! to this channel. Its not me - its the content in these videos! [Three questions, please dont mind my directness, I am just curious.] 1. was all the effects achieved using shadergraph ? 2. And what if enemies could also interact with the folliage, then do we have to pass their info to the shader as well and repeat everytime for each and every enemy? 3. Are all sprites rendered on a quad? since rendered texture doesnot works with 2D sprites except rawImage. Thanks again

why does every game dev have that accent?
