GODOT VFX - Stylized Fire Effect Tutorial

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

So yeah, here we go first VFX tutorial with Godot! 🥳 Godot is weird, in a good way lol but I had lots of fun playing around with it and getting to know this engine, pretty cool. 👉GODOT VFX Playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLpPd_BKEUoYh3umaVIKVFsqxRWvGzQzc2

[@DestusG]

It's wierd right compared to unity or unreal. But I've been able to remake some of your unity shaders in godot

[@ZenkiKong]

Thank you for giving this engine an opportunity.

[@DestusG]

@MinecraftMagicalWorld let's give it a chance and do what we can

Unity Engine Addict:Too bad for me

[@lucasbonde2]

Is Godot just the way to go now for indie game developers? I have really learned a lot from you througout the years of making games. Thanks a lot!

[@osmanerenkose6692]

Great! I'm looking forward to see more tutorials on Godot. Community is growing rapidly

[@GaryParkin]

It is growing! And it's a great little engine. Just needs more love.

[@hexdump8590]

Dude I'm really happy you start creating godot tutorials. Thanks!

[@juanmanuelcostello9510]

Im glad you are trying Godot. I loved your work with Unity. I would like to see more FX in Godot :)

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

It's alright, Unity tutorials will always be the core of this channel.

[@jetstream_arty]

@@GabrielAguiarProd Same I'll still continue my development on unity

[@cs1045]

​@@jetstream_arty No Luke give in... let godot flow through you.

[@rubenpires647]

@@GabrielAguiarProd Is the Godot particle system similar to unity? As in, do the unity tutorial apply to Godot regarding particles?

[@Siberiius]

I've been following your tutorials for unity and was trying to translate them for godot myself. I'm very happy to see that you're doing it directly for godot. THANK YOU!

[@SkiliMcSkilson]

For anyone following this tutorial and not achieving the same look because of the missing glow: Godot seems to have separated some values since. To replicate the visuals you have to additionally configure the Emission Curve in the Color Curves property. Create a curve and set its value to around 15 to achieve a similar look like in the video.

[@ScumlordStudio]

yo thank you for that, that also opened me up to more experimentation and i made a really cool rainbow effect messing with color curves and hue variation

[@TheDriley4]

Did you have to create a new CurveTexture and a new Curve? Where did you set a value of 15? as a Min value in the curve settings?

[@jamesmorris3122]

Emission Curve has a min/max 0 to 1. not sure how to set this like @TheDriley4 says

[@SkiliMcSkilson]

@TheDriley4 @@jamesmorris3122 creating a new process material like shown in the video i did it like this: - on the material, go to Display > Color Curves - click on the dropdown for Emission Curve and select "New CurveTexture" - click on the field again, that now says CurveTexture - click on the dropdown for Curve and select "New Curve" - click on the field again, that is now filled with black - set the "Max Value" to more than 1

[@containedhurricane]

Glad to see a VFX tutorial for Godot. Unity's proprietary data tech in their apps to determine the number of installs and the Always Online requirement made me learn other game engines

[@jacksonday6737]

Just want to say thanks heaps for this, while I definitely wont remember it all first go, it was well explained :)

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

You're very welcome!

[@dreamcatforgotten8435]

I think that was one of the easiest Billboard implementations I've ever seen.... literally just a node and then routed to an output at the Vertex step... Honestly, really nice!

[@lucasleite1559]

PLEEEEEASE MORE GODOT FX TUTORIAAALS For clarity, my team just changed the engine and we are jumping into Godot. As the only artist on the team now I have to know how to do basically everything I learned in Unity in a really short time xD As a suggestion for the next videos, I wouldn't like to see the same FX done before and now in a new Engine, but it would be interesting to see new ideas with basic principles of particle animation like bursts, radials, auras, AOE, and trails. Great job btw!

[@MargudnRoboter]

Happy to see one of your Tutorials for Godot (as it is my personal favorite of the engines). But I hope you can manage to keep doing Tutorials for all engines, as it will help beginners to focus more on the concepts rather than the engine details, while also showing differences of the engines.

[@GoblinArmyInYourWalls]

Ive been using your Unity tutorials to make VFX for Godot for like a year, so this is neat

[@Kyleology]

Awesome, I usually have to convert your tutorial to Godot myself with various levels of success. This makes things so much easier.

[@ManoAiron]

a prova de que a base e os fundamentos são muito mais importante do que a ferramenta em si! congrats pal

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Well put! É verdade 🙌

[@Joe-lj4jw]

I've never cared for any form of 3d art but I'm trying to learn this year, thanks for the very informative tutorial.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

You’re welcome 😊 happy to help

[@w1-w2-w3]

Awesome. I recently changed my game from Unity to Godot. Godot is pretty cool but the same thing with Unity is sometime crush. But it is really good for 2D game. I still didn't try Godot for 3D yet but It doesn't matter, I can use Unreal for 3D anyway. So far, Godot is really good.

[@Armetron]

I believe the reason why Godot forces you to make a "billboard" within the shader is because previously the quad orientation was calculated by the cpu and the oriented quad was sent to the gpu which only had to calculate the material colors for the specific pixels. Since the model orientation is a matrix calculation and GPU's are great at matrix multiplications this work was offset to free up the cpu even more.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

That’s a very interesting reason, sounds very plausible yeah. Nice!

[@mojoGameDev]

I actually followed the One made with Unity and it still helped alot.

[@JOZUWE]

I added an Omnilight to the Fire with the same color, now it looks very nice in my scene thank you!

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Wonderful!

[@johannw7933]

Very cool. Thank you for putting some effort into Godot, a lot of us are going to benefit from this so commenting for the algorithm.

[@DrFizzyQuizzler]

Nice Tutorial! can't wait to see more Godot tutorials!

gabriel idk if u realize u are one of the biggest channels in VFX man everyone in my uni watch ur stuff.

[@tientam779]

Oh damn!!!! You’re doing Godot VFX. Yes yes yes, this is great. Keep it coming! Maybe you will inspire GODOT to create a shader and particle graph :)

[@smoglegmusic3296]

super awesome tutorial thank you!!!

[@jasenlakic5033]

very nice tutorial, thank you!

[@antoineberkani9747]

Super useful, thanks so much! For people like me who aren't as experienced, converting your unity tuts to godot can be pretty challenging as it's unclear what does what. Doesn't help that godot has very few, if any, shader tutorials that show similar tricks. Please do more!

[@曹昂扬]

Great video, need more tutorial！

[@XINN1X]

So glad your doing Godot videos! Hope to see many more!

[@agriasoaks6721]

Yes! Thank you, Sensei

[@fleity]

Thanks for the introduction, does feel surprisingly familiar indeed. It makes total sense that the "materials" are shared (but a very important hint nonetheless) because this should be instancing friendly. The uv func node though, two inputs and a drop down it looks similar to tiling AND offset but it only does OR whatever is selected. Could have been two nodes just as well.

[@_lazyred_]

you're damn good at this, very good

[@teddybonzo8460]

I changed my ui on godot i love the fact that i can actually do that. Not to mention i dont deal with that forsaken “holdon loading” bar for 3 mins after i simply click on another object. I dont miss unity at all. Im using an i3 so i have to cope with alot of stuff

[@9DDamian]

Thanks bro for the education all I can offer you is a share, like and a subscribe

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Still very much appreciated!

[@aresnir2725]

Nice tutorial. But you really don't need to use Vector Decompose node. You can access individual color channels right in Texture2D node by pressing little down arrow next to "color" in output.

[@Retpmus]

Nice, Thank you so much!

[@Liqvidniy]

Thanks. Waiting for Niagra UE5 Tutorials then.) An idea for video - you can do one effect in Unity, Godot and UE5 and then compare the workflows.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Yeah for sure, I'm very likely going to do a video about comparing the three engines in terms of VFX. 👍 Btw, two weeks ago I also published 1st Niagara tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3XVpHimaKZ6jaM

[@obiekt19]

Fire/particle shaders work great, but if I show them in another subviewport->camera3D, they are barely visible. This does not happen with other materials. Any idea what could be changed inside the shader?

[@dardilac]

YES YES YES

[@jafarrolo]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial, I have a small question tho. I replicated the shader, but I don't understand why the static flame is needed since it is barely noticeable, is it just me or is there a reason for it?

[@hokokotokokoto7082]

cool

[@TReyeHD]

Why is it so much brighter than what I made?

[@AkatDeen]

yeah, let's do more fx with Godot...

[@romuduck]

thanks. Interesting tutorial. I cant seem to end up with same colouring. My flame is rather dark orange on the edge and orange inside. I guess it has to due with light and world environment. wdyt?

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Yes most likely, if you did everything right in the shader/material, then probably it's light and world environment.

[@GaryParkin]

Thanks for the tutorial. 15:31 Please tell me how you got 1023 in the RGB swatch color? The second particle3D? Mine's coming out green because I can't get it past 255.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

You can adjust higher values in the RAW section, in the color picker. (there's RGB, HVS and then RAW)

[@GaryParkin]

@@GabrielAguiarProd Thank you, and thank you for the textures. I tried RAW too. It kept changing it to 100. I restarted and it just let me type in 1023 in RGB. Must have been a glitch. Thank you! I just completed the tutorial and it's beautiful. (Subscribed) I'll be watching more of your tutorials. Thanks again.

[@HappyCucco.]

thanks! one thing, when i import it onto a torch in my playercharacter it then get's affected by my lvls light, how to fix?

[@ScoutOW2]

Wait, why does your shader editor come up as a visual scripting? For me its just regular scripting and ive got the most up to date version!

[@이태훈-j1c]

hey, Is Godot VFX more good than Unity VFX graph? Godot VFX seems to be easy.

[@undercover_person]

Please make a tutorial in unity about low poly water like the game "TUNIC" has.

He fell for the kids. Can't believe this, such a good youtuber.

how is that yellowish color (4, 1.24, 0.6) is glowing red. It just looks like yellow in my editor, even with glow

[@GustavoArrosFelipsp]

Could you upload the godot project to download?

[@slimebuck]

when I play my game in godot the particles look totally different than they do on the preview when making them

[@rtfranco]

Cara, você sente que o glow da godot é um pouco "washed"? Às vezes eu sinto que não é a mesma coisa do glow effect da unity ou da unreal.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Yep, é um pouco yah. Não é a mesma coisa.

[@UniqueInstrumentals]

When I click shader editor I get code, not a graph like you have. I don’t get it. Any ideas?

Never mind 😮 I forgot to save the shader as Visual shader and not just “ Shader “ lol 😂

does anyone know how to make it pixelated?

[@thebrickslayer8768]

The color you pasted for the second flame doesn't make sense at all. RBG goes up to 255 max, yet you managed to paste a 1000+ value. Wtf?

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

In RAW values you can past those values. And will work as HDR color. If you have a world environment with glow it will look pretty cool.

[@hellothxsorry]

So no more Unity tutorials? D:

Oh there will be plenty more Unity tutorials to come for sure :D There's just new vfx series for other engines too now.
