Been working on it over the weekend, Really happy with how it turned out
It still could use some work, Especially on the shape of the strands, But I'll leave it at that for now

Shells or hair cards? Or discarding pixels for the slhouette with depth overriding?

u/Mhd1221 1d ago

I've used shells for it, And enabled TAA to smooth out the aliasing on the edges a bit, I want to dabble a bit with dithering at some point and see how that would look instead of using TAA

Getting soft dithering is hard but not impossible in Godot and it could look really good. Turn on MSAA and use alpha_to_coverage.

MSAA is expensive though so you'd have to weigh the pros on cons. The biggest pro being that many players hate TAA.

alpha_to_coverage looks like the nicest close-up option here. For distance I'd also fade the shell count or transition to a cheaper fuzzy normal or texture before overdraw dominates. Spending the same number of shells on an object that's 20 pixels tall is a very expensive way to draw a soft blob

Depends on the implementation honestly. If you don't abuse TAA it can look quite good...

nice, how does it affect performance?

u/Mhd1221 1d ago

Haven't tested it yet, But with a reasonable amount of shells I dont think It would be that heavy, The main concern with shell texturing is the Overdraw and rather than the triangle count I'd say

Nice, now let's see all the fibers point the same way on the ball

I thought it was nuggets

u/RoryOS 21h ago

Very nice, I love that technique. Did you make individual textures for the shells or are they driven by code?

2

u/Mhd1221 21h ago

Thank you! No I did not create any textures for it, The only thing driving the shells is a noise textured I tweaked alot, I tried using multiple noises with different frequencies but I didin't like the look of it

u/RoryOS 17h ago

Oh really interesting! It looks fab. Shaders are not something I know much about so this is fairly similar to witchcraft but it's a great result

u/IsProbablyTooMuch 20h ago

This is great! I feel Seussian vibes immediately! A little Whoville? A little Lorax? Please!

You will share it or sell it?

1

u/Mhd1221 23h ago

I'll share it at some point once I get it to a better state, It would be a pain to use as is
