Hex Map 5.7 #unity3d #gamedev tutorial project upgrades another part of the map generation process to a Burst job. catlikecoding.com/unity/hex-ma...

We warp value noise with curl noise to make it more interesting, in my latest #GodotEngine #gamedev tutorial: catlikecoding.com/godot/proced...

The culmination of my upcoming PGPUP #GodotEngine #gamedev tutorial is: a wriggling plane!

Torus with exclusively animating curl (besides global rotation). For upcoming PGPUP #GodotEngine #gamedev tutorial.

Small fix in PGPUP part 8: smooth01 now also supports PATTERN_SAMPLE_VALUE_TYPE other that float.

Coming up next for my Procedural GPU Patterns #GodotEngine #gamedev tutorial series: curling noise, also on a torus.

Coming up next for my Procedural GPU Patterns #GodotEngine #gamedev tutorial series: curling noise.

In Custom SRP 7.3 #unity3d #gamedev tutorial we use raster render passes to draw our shadows. catlikecoding.com/unity/custom...

In the last tutorial we made value noise, which works for making flat pancakes. But we want donuts! Therefore we add tiling support to the noise, so we can seamlessly wrap it around a torus. #GodotEngine #gamedev catlikecoding.com/godot/proced...

Coming up next for my Procedural GPU Patterns #GodotEngine #gamedev tutorial series: seamless value noise on a torus.

In Hex Map 5.6 #unity3d #gamedev tutorial we convert another part of our map generation into a Burst job. catlikecoding.com/unity/hex-ma...

In the last tutorial we created value noise and now we add analytical derivatives to it, to adjust normal vectors to match a displaced surface. #GodotEngine #gamedev catlikecoding.com/godot/proced...

In Custom SRP 7.2 #unity3d #gamedev tutorial we continue to modernize our shadows code, pulling it out of the lighting pass and splitting it into three passes. catlikecoding.com/unity/custom...

In the next step of our Procedural GPU Patterns #GodotEngine #gamedev journey we take our hash noise and turn it into value noise. catlikecoding.com/godot/proced...

We convert the first part of our experimental map generator into an actual Burst job, in Hex Map 5.5 #unity3d #gamedev. catlikecoding.com/unity/hex-ma...

Procedural GPU Pattern #GodotEngine #gamedev tutorial 6 adds octave animation to fractals, using temporal lacunarity to scale their animation speed. We also use staggered animation to animate our fractal hash in a more pleasing way. catlikecoding.com/godot/proced...

My upcoming #GodotEngine tutorial adds animation to our fractal hash.

Custom SRP 7.1 #unity3d #gamedev tutorial refactors our shadow code. A bit dry, but prepares it for specialized render passes for directional and other shadows. catlikecoding.com/unity/custom...

In Procedural GPU Patterns #GodotEngine #gamedev tutorial 5 we make our own little shader library and use it to create fractals from both sine waves and hashes. catlikecoding.com/godot/proced...

Next week we're going to combine our fractal waves code with the hashing code, to end up with fractal hashing.

We start modernizing the map generator with Hex Map 5.4 #unity3d #gamedev #tutorial catlikecoding.com/unity/hex-ma...

Next week we're going to take a look at the map generation of Hex Map and start modernizing it.

Got a report that tutorial video clips didn't play for some specific browser, and it turned out that... video controls failed when CSS contain was used. But of course!

True Top-Down 2D #GodotEngine #gamedev tutorial series got a small update, now for Godot 4.7 starting from part 13. Line points are now accessed via methods. catlikecoding.com/godot/true-t...

Part 4 of the Procedural GPU Patterns #GodotEngine #gamedev series introduces hashing. We implement a simplified version of the 32-bit xxHash algorithm. We also create float values by directly putting bits in their mantissa. catlikecoding.com/godot/proced...

Next up: we're going to work with floats and bits on the GPU in Godot. Here's a "float tree" to visualize the bits of float values between -64 and +64.

With Unity 6.5 and the deprecation of the Built-in RP it is getting time to refresh my introduction series. It's something I'd like to work on in the near future.

With Custom SRP 7.0 #unity3d #gamedev tutorial we upgrade to Unity 6.5. We lose LPPVs but will support Adaptive Probe Volumes in the future. catlikecoding.com/unity/custom...

Procedural GPU Patterns #GodotEngine #gamedev tutorial part 3: Fractal Waves is now online! catlikecoding.com/godot/proced...

Hex Map 5.3.0 #unit3d #gamedev tutorial makes a small change to how we store the found path. catlikecoding.com/unity/hex-ma...

And here is Procedural GPU Patterns #GodotEngine #gamedev tutorial part 2: 2D Waves! catlikecoding.com/godot/proced...

Procedural GPU Patterns #GodotEngine #gamedev tutorial part 1: Sine Waves is finally here! catlikecoding.com/godot/proced...

Another GPU noise tutorial preview with #GodotEngine, now with vertex offsets.

AnyDice is running again! Unfortunately program links starting at 23 March couldn't be recovered.

My tutorials are back online!

My next tutorial series will cover GPU noise. Initially for #GodotEngine, and also for #Unity3d. This screenshot shows colorized radial-falloff gradient noise, with fading octaves, adaptive super-sampling, and analytical normals.

We use a compute shader to create a 3D color LUT in Custom SRP 6.2.0 #unity3d #gamedev tutorial. catlikecoding.com/unity/custom...

In the final part of the True Top-Down 2D #GodotEngine #gamedev tutorial series we add energy barriers that block the player: catlikecoding.com/godot/true-t...

In Custom SRP 6.1.0 #unity3d #gamedev tutorial we add a debug visualization for the color LUT. It'll come in handy when we modernize it in the future. catlikecoding.com/unity/custom...

We make editing teleporters easier in True Top-Down 2D #GodotEngine #gamedev tutorial part 15: catlikecoding.com/godot/true-t...

Hex Map #unity3d #gamedev tutorial project's final menu upgrade: the Save/Load menu. This completes our migration to UI Toolkit. catlikecoding.com/unity/hex-ma...

The New Map menu of Hex Map #unity3d #gamedev tutorial project gets upgrade to UI Toolkit: catlikecoding.com/unity/hex-ma...

True Top-Down 2D #GodotEngine #gamedev part 14 add a pause menu to our game, from which we can resume or restart the current map. catlikecoding.com/godot/true-t...

We upgrade the Hex Map #unity3d #gamedev #tutorial project to use the new input system: catlikecoding.com/unity/hex-ma...

True Top-Down 2D #GodotEngine #gamedev tutorial part 13 introduces conveyors, to push objects and ourselves around. catlikecoding.com/godot/true-t...

We upgrade our Custom SRP project to Unity 6.3, and... it fails to render. So we fix that in the 6.0.0 #unity3d #gamedev tutorial! Native render passes are now supported and we get the Render Graph Viewer working again. catlikecoding.com/unity/custom...

True Top-Down 2D #GodotEngine #gamedev tutorial part 12 adds teleporters to our game. The player can teleport itself and objects from source to destination areas. When a destination is occupied teleportation is blocked, which can be used for creative level design. catlikecoding.com/godot/true-t...
