This is great! 🐟🐠🐡🪸🐚

Any performance gains over MultiMesh?

cool

There's a video called "Just Boids | Useless Game dev" that covers boids really well in my opinion

just in the case if you don't know , Godot 4 can directly support blender files . You just have to enable option in editor settings.

Thanks for the awesome tutorial. How would i go forward from here to ensure shadows are not affected by the cutoff? I want the room inside still to be dark and the shadow behind the house to be the shape of the full house.

When I create a shaderinclude, it's blank?

Dude thanks this looks amazing

How can you do it with an orthogonal camera? It only works for me with one address

nice work there, may i ask about the shader license? since you are displaying it and showcasing its functionality. would be nice to know before using the shader in a commercial output.

can you add body collision and simulation gravity with this pivot feature , for example: crash a wall in pieces from bullets using pivot?

Godot engine + good knowledge of Godot = very good result!

Knowing how to use shaders open so many possibilities with gamedev

I wanna make a lemon that has cut off effect and I wanna see top face of the lemon but how do we do things like that?

It's so simple, but I didn't figure it out! I tried using geonodes for this. It turns out well, but I baked everything into the texture and sometimes got artifacts. And this.... It's so simple that it's even brilliant!)

Awesome job, one important detail you did not explain. At min minute 6:20 ... you did not mention Dimensions and Effector settings, if not set properly the effect is not visible. Bottom Right of the screen (in the Inspector): Dimensions (suggested) 1.8, 1.7, 0.2 Effector (suggested) 0, 1, 0.5 This is really important in order to replicate the effect you created. Also, just in case reload the project.

You should blur the incoming velocity buffer so you get rid of those 1 px outlines it leaves! Great videos! keep it up!

Really good work! couldn't you have baked the pivot positions into vertex colors? because using both uv maps leaves you with a mesh that has no valid uv map for the fragment shader

Really interesting work. You might want to reduce the volume of the intro music, it is hard to hear you over the music.

i need this

Bro, how you getting no views? This stuff is legendary👍

thanks

Very nice tutorial!!

Found your channel recently: great job love the content! Have been working with MultiMesh for grass on my projects, never gave particles a chance (always assumed it would be more complex or less performative), but love your results. Gave it a try on a demo project and worked like a charm moving from one project to other, the visual result is awesome and the FPS impact don't seem different than a MultiMesh, in fact is looks better than some I tested in the past. Great job, and great learning material. Auto placing/projecting on an irregular terrain is the next step to be perfect. With a MultiMesh it is easy, with Particles never explored, but worth a try. Great work (and great initiative to share), will keep following.

"Hole in the Wall" it’s called glory hole my friend 👌

hello, it seems there is no longer a viewport node and a viewport container in godot 4. How do i reproduce this in godot 4? THANKS

Looks great! I thought something like this would be more of a niche problem before searching for a solution, but I'm glad tutorials like this exist.

I wonder if this compositior effects can be used for doing some draws on a custom buffer other than color, depth, motion, normal+rough and specular ones. And then, using this feature and the data on that custom buffer do some postpo stuff. Something like that could be awesome.

Is this plugin still being updated? Can 4.2 still be used?

The fkin GOAT 🐐

Thank you very much! This is an absolutely wonderful tutorial! I wanted to take a look into the rendering device functionality, but it's quite complicated to do so. This provides a really good example. I did similar things with the viewport before. You can actually export images from the viewport. I wonder though, what the "official" way of doing things would be. It all still feels kinda hacky. I wonder if there are any bottlenecks somewhere, like bandwith.

The most interesting part for me is if this texture from RD not sends from GPU to CPU and back. If so, now we have a great pipeline for computing a lot of stuff fully on GPU. But is it now workin like that? Is the buffer transfers back to the CPU or can it be used directly on the GPU?

Edit: aside from the below, very cool tutorial, it's going to be super helpful for me! I'm not sure which version of godot this was for, but I had a hard time making it work in 4.2.2 so here is the script I had after I finally got it to work (if it can serve anyone else) @tool extends MeshInstance3D @onready var mi_cutplane:MeshInstance3D = get_parent().get_node("cutaway") #I couldn't figure out how to directly find the node, even unique names wouldn't work # Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame. func _process(delta): get_surface_override_material(0).set_shader_parameter("cutplane",mi_cutplane.transform) pass

A tutorial about this shader would be awesome, I've been trying for 1 month to do just this but I'm very new to shaders and I'm not able to get it :(. You do an amazing job!

how to keep shadow when hiding the wall?

The pixelating when things move makes me feel like I'm looking through the eyes of a robot pretty cool

idk why but im my case to make it work needed to change the step(length(velocity)) to step(length(velocity.rgb))

yay finally some content about it!

Wait, am I looking at a possible per-object motion blur implementation? That's huge.

Will this make it into the release? Or is it planned for later?

thanks. Please make more videos on the compute shader and godot.

Nice tutorial...

What happens if an object, like a boat, moves along in this water?

how to import this project to other project ? i really want try this grass in my project.

Crockodile Swampy game?

Oh nice, this sort of ties in with what I've been working on lately. I've been playing around with splat maps recently to make the garden from Viva Pinata. So far it's only changing the diffuse texture according to the RGB and black values. Next upgrade will be to get some short and tall grass shaders worked in there.

cool thank you ! :D

it doesnt allow me to type, could you help?

Cool stuff
