CrumbleRumble FX
Over the last 12 weeks I had the honor to work with Teodora Petkova, Wesley De Moye, Leander De Hertogh and Mark Haaijer on a small couch game. Crumble Rumble is a competitive infinite runner, where you die when you fall behind.
I was responsible for most of the FX, the post processing, and the UI and Animation Blueprinting. I also set up most of the pipeline, with some improvement for characters made by Teodora. I spent about half a day to a day on every effect, a day on the pipeline/materials, and a few days designing the UI.

Dissolve Effect for pickups
Master Shader Result. I wanted to get as many options as possible in here, for fast iteration. Keeping everything procedural allowed us to use the same shader for various objects, from the smallest pickup to the large walls.
Many of the options are linked to static switches, to avoid unnecessary draw calls.
Faceted Normals Material Function.
Gridmask Material function. this takes 4 options and makes a map out of them.

Various outlines are possible, they are selected using a customdepth mask with Stencil.
Post Process Material
The shading starts with basic cell shading, and then blends in an extra darker color for AO, and the regular default shader to add some variation.
