Custom Lighting Models - Episode 1 Ben Cloward 2025-01-16 | Today we begin a new series of videos about custom lighting models. Usually when we make a shader, we just define the material properties - color, normal, smoothness, metallic, etc - but in the series of videos I'm going to show you how to define and customize the calculations that define how light interacts with the surface - including diffuse, specular, and ambient lighting.Take a look at the playlist for the whole series:youtube.com/playlist?list=PL78XDi0TS4lGnGa7L2X4o3UV-XYZEKNwjShader Book Recommendationsbencloward.com/resources_books.shtml------------------------------Theme MusicPeace in the Circuitry - Glitch Hophttp://teknoaxe.com/Link_Code_3.php?q=1526Background MusicSpeo - The Little Thingsyoutube.com/watch?v=kvCYuyyLgC0#UnrealEngine #shadergraph #Unity

Fantasy Health Meter Part 5 - Procedural Shapes and Patterns - Episode 23 Ben Cloward 2024-12-12 | In this shader tutorial, we finish off the series of videos on creating a Diablo-style health meter by adding animated bubbles to the liquid in our crystal vial.

Fantasy Health Meter Part 1 - Procedural Shapes and Patterns - Episode 19 Ben Cloward 2024-11-14 | In this shader tutorial for Unreal and Unity, we begin a short series on creating a Diablo-style health or mana meter. It's a crystal sphere filled with bubbling colored liquid that rises or drains to show the player's health. Today we focus on creating the data to create the sphere including depth, normals, diffuse lighting, and a mask. ------------------------------------Subgraph/Material Function Index:Gradients LinearGradient - youtu.be/sZBzg-v9d04?si=QDiy1CsgW-mMVsUJ&t=251 SampleGradient - youtu.be/rSn7lUWUN0E?si=WPlixz4L8prnV32G&t=2223 Sphere Gradient - Helpers AntiAliasing - youtu.be/sZBzg-v9d04?si=yJwmNYRkhzW4JFiP&t=761 AspectRatio - youtu.be/fDjEq30dwNM?si=5iScu5SYD9shcxkh&t=1758 Gradient - youtu.be/rSn7lUWUN0E?si=bMv1Wk0DYGsHV2Ty&t=2200 HistogramScan - youtu.be/nj7kKHr8QNM?si=-3Odzad3nCI_eNsm&t=290 Mirror - youtu.be/jxr4YK_m8hc?si=WsT2TJjLEqPQbKsC&t=835 Posterize - youtube.com/watch?v=lfY0v4q2dtw&t=1408 RoundedCorners - youtu.be/fDjEq30dwNM?si=Znv2wk6lcJDL1R2T&t=1254Patterns Animated Cloud Pattern - youtu.be/qB8GKIWKOp4?si=Zz_sp2E1yR9JPVvJ&t=1136 AnimatedSheen - youtu.be/jxr4YK_m8hc?si=OO1tL6VqiPE3kVo_&t=70 Bars - youtu.be/rSn7lUWUN0E CircleSegments - youtu.be/CXY7RNwokPU?si=igwTDBogjSz4KwoM&t=56 SquareTiles - youtu.be/ChaXcYB4xvQ?si=dye3PAsDSxVCe8Yo&t=657SDFs Circle - youtu.be/GMQym0in8OY?si=X9tSSWsdCwoKvPKy&t=316 Rectangle - youtu.be/fDjEq30dwNM?si=6pataNA5gQySVmQl&t=89 Operators SDFUnite - youtu.be/R_5CTBgkfZ0?si=sy2t2ppeTviChNog&t=114Time LinearTime - youtu.be/jxr4YK_m8hc?si=P80Q0RBWMcmiKRG6 SineTime - youtu.be/R_5CTBgkfZ0?si=m6nMyzw7Pb76hPnq&t=1420UV GridTiles - youtu.be/ChaXcYB4xvQ?si=NO-_A1AL92GrWCs2&t=121 Move - youtu.be/R_5CTBgkfZ0?si=5aMYA2ocVdqHzdQj&t=1010 Perspective - youtu.be/rSn7lUWUN0E Polar Coordinates - youtube.com/watch?v=lfY0v4q2dtw&t=1011 Scale - youtu.be/6UYqtdRoKQ4?si=eVy6RFwycKjYaH4r&t=602 Tilt - youtu.be/jxr4YK_m8hc?si=RyE0GLt0BzDH0w6q&t=207Here's last week's video on how to creating a sci-fi buttonyoutu.be/jdWnQ0KbAwMHere's the playlist for the whole series:youtube.com/playlist?list=PL78XDi0TS4lF5ASo3vpUFKenMkhMVeZ5yShader Book Recommendationsbencloward.com/resources_books.shtml------------------------------Theme MusicPeace in the Circuitry - Glitch Hophttp://teknoaxe.com/Link_Code_3.php?q=1526Background MusicSpeo - The Little Thingsyoutube.com/watch?v=kvCYuyyLgC0#UnrealEngine #shadergraph #Unity

Intro To Procedural Shapes and Patterns - Episode 1 Ben Cloward 2024-06-27 | Today, we're starting a brand new series of tutorial videos. In this series we'll be discussing procedural shapes and patterns. We'll be creating signed distance fields, tiling patterns, compound shapes, user interface elements, and more - all using shader math. We'll also be creating a library of nodes - Subgraphs in Shader Graph and Material Functions in Unreal - to help with the creation process. In today's video, we go over the creation of a Linear Gradient node and an Anti-Aliasing node. The Anti-Aliasing node uses derivatives to resolve a gradient or signed distance field into a perfectly sharp and anti-aliased line, regardless of resolution or camera distance.------------------------------------Here's last week's tutorial that shows how to create particle billboards for VR.youtu.be/YakFi61LZcsHere's the playlist for the whole series:youtube.com/playlist?list=PL78XDi0TS4lF5ASo3vpUFKenMkhMVeZ5yShader Book Recommendationsbencloward.com/resources_books.shtml------------------------------Theme MusicPeace in the Circuitry - Glitch Hophttp://teknoaxe.com/Link_Code_3.php?q=1526Background MusicSpeo - The Little Thingsyoutube.com/watch?v=kvCYuyyLgC0#UnrealEngine #shadergraph #Unity
