Patreon Pausing

Added 2020-07-13 03:13:28 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone.

Things have gotten a bit busy at the moment, and I haven't been able to spend the time I've wanted to on working on Patreon posts recently, so I'm putting a pause on payments for the next billing cycle.

What this means is you won't get charged on August 1st, but I still intend to update the Patreon with some shader and game asset goodies during the month if I can.

If you can stick around until things pick up, I really appreciate it, but I also completely understand if it works best for you to unsubscribe. Either way, sorry for the lack of updates, and thanks so much for the support!

PS: Here's what I intended on working on this month, before mice ate my best laid plans.

A Stained glass window effect, with proper shadowing.

And it also effects particles or anything else you want to throw in front of it.

In these gifs (made ages ago), I cheat it terribly by splitting light cookies into separate RGB passes (combining back to full colour). Which works, but is ugly inefficient. So my proper attempt at the problem will be using all the tricks I've learnt since, shader replacement and render textures and command buffer goodness. It'll still have limitations (no overlapping transparent shadows from separate objects), but should be a much neater and more universal solution. I think. I haven't tried it yet. :D
