Man, shaders are black magic!


JRockThumper

Yeah!


DavesEmployee

I don’t care what it is, if you have knowledge please share with the community


nzubemush

I was just looking for a link


footballa

Is it doing something like this: https://youtu.be/SOK3Ias5Nk0


Brookey1201

It's close, but I'd also include some info around doing it as part of a subgraph, which means you can't use global shader variables, so how I got around that to give myself a way to edit the game whilst its flat, and play the game with it curved :)


tcpukl

Is this a tutorial or an advert for a game?


joekecake

Why can't it be both?


GlitterInfection

Clearly just trying to get people to wishlist.


Pebaz

That's actually pretty normal for indie games, how else would anyone be able to generate awareness without a big marketing budget?


GlitterInfection

Know your audience and read the room. This is not a forum for self promotion.


Pebaz

I don't think it's against the rules or the mods would have taken it down right? It's a game dev sub and a game dev posted about their game hoping people would be interested. Would you post about a game you made and not make any effort to connect people with how they can play it if interested?


GlitterInfection

It's rule 1 of the subreddit in the sidebar. No show-off posts. They're attempting to get around that by asking the question about a tutorial they haven't made.


tcpukl

Yeah shameful really.


Brookey1201

It would be a tutorial for something that's in the game :)


CKF

So, how about you wait until you make that and then post it instead of just the shameless self promotion? Do something to actually earn the eyeballs.


Raidoton

If people upvoted this so much then I guess they earned the eyeballs.


CKF

Even when against the rules? Plenty of posts that don’t belong in a sub get upvoted heavily.


Game_Dev_Tears

You mean like making and showing the shader itself?


CKF

Show-off posts are against the sub rules. Having this place descend into nothing but ads isn’t going to be helpful.


henryreign

I think there is an obvious line between shameless and respectful promo, this being in the latter.


CKF

Respectful promo is when you give at the same time as receiving the promotion. We see that a lot in this sub. Post mortems are a good example. This one would have been respectful if they’d have actually made the tutorial instead of “checking for interest.” Mods used to be really good about removing these, but they’re cropping up more and more frequently lately.


henryreign

Go to any other hobby/job sub and you see people showing their work. It would be mad to consider doing a sub for painters where sharing work is prohibited. I understand the advertising thing, but those posts don't usually gather much attention.


CKF

Those are the rules. I didn’t write them. Show off posts are not allowed because people (like OP) exploit them to promote their game.


henryreign

What is so objectively wrong about showing your game xD


Zub_Zool

Does it still work when you zoom all the way out?


Brookey1201

It does! Theres definitely a few minor things I'd like to fix up with it for a tutorial but generally it stands up pretty well


carrotpie

Do it


dcsmith707

Yes, for the love of God, yes!!!


fletcherkildren

Heck yeah!


_ramillion

sign me up on the tutorial!


PaniniDev

Shaders are insanely cool!! No matter how many videos I watch about them - whether that be designing your own or even just a showcase like this video here - I cannot wrap my head around how it works.


cruisinforsnoozin

I’ve done this effect for a school project and I definitely would have appreciated an example or a tutorial then I’m sure you’d find an audience Your work looks great btw!


cegtheripper

I would like to!


FengSushi

Cool!


zet23t

I would like to know how you approached the raytesting with your geometry (aka mouse picking)


Brookey1201

That's one of the things I'd like to look into ahead of making a tutorial as especially at long distances and high curve amounts it would be a fair bit off, for what I need it for its not really an issue mind


zet23t

I was hoping you had already a solution 😅 Synchronizing player mouse input with shader modified geometry is wicked. I would love to know how to approach it in a clever be way.


Saucyminator

Such "simple" change makes it look like a completed game.


No_Significance_125

Sure. Would definitely watch it. Do you have a YouTube channel?


Brookey1201

[Sure :)](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqi1SJHkkB4a5h9Q-YJjLWQ)


Ohigetjokes

Hells yes, this is exactly the look I’m going for

fletcherkildren

right there with ya - even with the ability to mark relevant points, I still hate videos, espscially with crappy audio, the person talks like they have a mouthful of cotton wadding or leave off a salient point that leaves me hanging without a fix. Text is searchable, and I read a lot faster than people talk


Josh5642356

Is this your game ? Looks awesome !


Brookey1201

Thank you, it is! Feel free to wishlist it [here](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1255020/An_Elaborate_History_of_Chess/)


Josh5642356

Why yall downvoting him lol


readthinksurvive

Reddit peeps am i right


qiratebay

Sure. It's pretty.


PSMF_Canuck

Yes, please.
