Join us for an in-depth look at the evolution of Naughty Dog's visual effects pipeline across the Uncharted franchise and walk-through of the latest solutions for the challenges raised during production on Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, including: Using scrolling normal maps and a particle-space light vector to create billowing, self-shadowing smoke-stacks; texture biasing and animating the Z-Depth of fire particles to efficiently give the illusion of a wall burning from the inside; and utilizing our new screen space projected particles, vector fields and the world normal buffer to bring natural interactions and life to a desert. |
