Rendering: Improve behaviour of clip_children by clipping to parent alpha value but still retaining parent color ( GH-67043 ). Visual Shader: Add math operators to node names for easier and simpler searching ( GH-67905 ). Rendering: Add OpenGL timer queries to OpenGL3 backend ( GH-67032 ).

About shaders. For most game developers, shaders are this scary monster that presents itself with such a complexity that it seems out of reach. In reality, shaders are quite simple by default and just get more complex the more you add to them. The following OpenGL code sends the sprite to the shader for drawing: OpenGL Commands.

Soon, Fede will be experimenting with our custom fur shader and working with hair cards to create realistic fur for these toothy baddies. the red one featured in the below clip) to better match the overall vibe and aesthetic of the level itself. Here's a little clip Allie snagged while making changes to these combat VFXs.

That said though, the shader is still pretty basic and only utilizes the default masked shader with a bit of subsurface coloring. Ideally, the Hair shader can be used again once Joe has a better understanding of how the tool works. We also provided some clips that capture the new run and flip animations themselves.

Apart from that, the month was mostly spent on implementing more 2D items in the renderer as well as working on getting custom shaders running. start work on shader compiler. implement more shader features. implement more shader features. The fragment shader then calculates the associated UV coordinate for each fragment.

If a shader is applied to them, or if transparency is changed, the effect is applied to every node individually, given they each do it in their own draw call. Custom shaders can be used with CanvasGroup to also apply effects like drop shadows or glows to a group of objects as a single one, greatly enhancing the flexibility of the 2D engine.

Moving forward, Joe will continue to refine and improve the look of the fur, adding a dither effect to the hair shader to soften the edges of each card. Next, Pete exported the hair cards into Unreal in order to build a universal hair shader that could then ultimately be applied to every fur-havin' character in Kristala.

One of the most common uses for IK in 3D is to place a character's feet on uneven ground without clipping through the geometry, where the legs realistically adjust to the terrain. Because the motions that IK creates is completely done in real-time, animations created via IK can be changed at any time. That's it for this progress report!

About my splitting tech: I didn't manually model pre-split meshes, it's all dynamic via shader. When the axe animation reaches 100%, I set a clipping plane (by Ronja) on the target object, then duplicate it with a reversed clipping plane. Audubon famously hated bald eagles and thought they were cowardly thieves.
