low-poly flame effect

truchet flips

Edit: Uploaded a .blend file for 3.0, only changes are the mix nodes(replaced with map range) and the frame driver in a value node instead of using the attribute node.

Hexagon World

sparks effect

Simple sparks setup using the shortest path node

Simple shattering setup

Also a note about the simulation setups(not this one) I've been trying:

Since you still need to use an experimental build that's not yet official, I will delay sharing them until it's stable. I might try to convert them to use the buffer hack so they could work in stable versions(i.e. 3.4) though.

Short tutorial shaders (update 87)

glyph assembly demo

assembly effect using geometry nodes and a simple material, the original vector file (客) is included below as a sample but it's already in the .blend file as a collection.

Radial text effect

based on an effect from Bungou Stray Dogs. This is two .blend files, one for the material and one for the generating the texture. Image texture file is included but not packed into the .blend file.

Truchet City

Pebble floor

Simple pebble floor generator from a grid, with them kinda evenly-spaced from each other without overlapping too much.

I first saw the method from https://twitter.com/redjam_9 (last year I think) but I can't find the tweet anymore.

Flame Shader

Seigaiha Pattern

Mostly the same pattern but with random values for each tile. Made this in 3.4 but it should work for lower versions(just need to replace the mix nodes manually)

Flame Effect

The Point

Card projectiles (3.4+)

or flame cards, not really sure what to call them. It's mostly the volume cbue slash thing from a while ago but moves in a straight line.

Spherize (3.0.1+)

Simple fake 3d sphere material on a plane.

Short Tutorial Shaders (Update 80)

This adds the Bluetooth icon.

It's a bit unfortunate Twitter decided to discontinue moments(a way to compile tweets together) so I have been thinking how to organize the videos on twitter(most of them can be found here, if the feature still works).

YouTube doesn't allow short videos anymore(an...

Traversal(3.4+)

Sci-fi Tunnel loop, using a texture generated in Material Maker

Original Thread 

DVD Material (2.93+)

Simplified version of the DVD logo from an old project.

Polaris(3.4+)

A bit like the "Polar Mystery" scene from nodevember, but more on the lights.

Short Tutorial Shaders(v78)

This adds the WiFi material

Short Tutorial Shaders (v77)

This adds the no-parking sign material

Short Tutorial Shaders (v76)

https://twitter.com/cmzw_/status/1608746080832991233 

I haven't updated this for a while, but most likely I will still be adding to the .blend file this year.

Edit: There's a small error that caused some materials to stop working(I opened the .blend and saved it in 3.4, not 3.0 😅), but those are fixed now.

Nodevember '22 (3.4+)

These are the rest of the Nodevember projects up for early access and will be the my last post for this year. I am working on a new project right now but that mostly will be up early 2023.

Thanks again for supporting!

Extraterrestrial Relic (3.4+)

https://twitter.com/cmzw_/status/1595419668411400192 

Futuristic Garden

HDRI / Textures are included, but for higher resolutions you will need to use Material Maker with the included source file(.ptex). Blender 3.4 is used for the render.

Oceanic Wonder (3.4+)

(Early Access) Project source file for the 3rd prompt of Nodevember 2022, Oceanic Wonder. All files will be released for free later to gumroad by the end of this year. Happy holidays!

Strange Texts (3.3+)

Did some post (mostly sharpening, grain) though this is still the same plane-stacking technique.

https://twitter.com/cmzw_/status/1604742699839418369 

Orb (3.3+)

This is similar to the rift effect, but stacking (ico)spheres instead
