Thank you so so much for explaining these concepts in such a simpler and interactive way. By the way I was here just to learn about sine and cosine curve for GLSL language and initially I was a bit skeptical because it's about Unreal engine & Unity but the way you explained the concepts it cleared all my doubts.
Thank you so much Ben! Your tutorials are always amazing and I love that you trick us into learning how these precompiled nodes work before just telling us "Oh just use this node" it's incredibly helpful! Never stop teaching!
thanks Ben, your explanations and visuals give the greatest and most foundational understanding of things i always use (but never truly understood) now that i better understand sin and cosine there are so many ideas streaming in on how this could solve a bunch of other things ive wondered about but always had to create images sequences masks for.
Awesome tutorial. Just to add to the bouncing ball example, I don't have Unreal Open to try this, but I think if you used the power node after absolute value and input a decimal such as .5 or .25 you would get a more realistic bouncing. (I could totally be wrong on this) This might work better if instead of absolute value you used a multiply by 0.5 then add 0.5. Edit: Just tested this and I found that this worked best for me: [Time>Multiply 8 (Speed Control)>Sine>Multiply 0.5>Add 0.5>Power 0.5>Multiply 150 (Height Control)>Append Many (with input in B and output into World Position Offset)].
Thanks for your tutorials! They help a lot! Is it possible in the material editor to make a triangular hsv gradient with the ability to change the hue?
@@BenCloward I am aware of the hue shift node, it is not entirely correct, but not about that! I meant this trianglular gradient: i.stack.imgur.com/F2mVl.png
Hello, master, I have been studying your UE tutorial and I like it very much. I have a question. Do you have any good suggestions about the translucent effect of clothes similar to silk veil? I am using the MASK method, and the TAA is jittered, and the screen accuracy is not up to the requirement. I hope you can reply. thanks
Hello amazing video, i have a quick query i am creating the rain ripple effect but in my engine i don't have periods parameter in sine node, is there any way to control the number of ripples waves without period parameter. looking forward for the positive solution!
Is this bouncing ball just for demonstration or would there actually be a real advantage to doing this in a shader vs in a C# MonoBehaviour in Unity for example? If I had thousands of bouncing balls, which would be more performant: using DOTS or a geometry shader?
It depends on where your bottleneck is. C# scripts run on the CPU while vertex shaders run on the GPU. So if you’re GPU bound, do it in C# but if you’re CPU bound, do it in the vertex shader.
I was told a while ago that the origin of UVs is sometimes different based on the rendering api used but unreal and unity have different UV origins and bith use direct X11 right? I know unity lets you change apis as well but I assume Ben hasn't done that? I hope I have something wrong here.
I believe that the API has a default, but the game engine can also control it. The engine will attempt to make the results consistent regardless of the API used so that you can ship the same product across multiple platforms without needing to worry about making minor adjustments per-platform.

+1 for Freya recommendation! I love the way she helps make math easier to understand by visualizing it!
You and Freya are angels sent by god for beginner indie shader developers. TYVM
Freya and you are my favorite instructors about game engines. Learned a lot from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

This series is being incredibly useful!
Thanks for your time and will to share knowledge!

Nice work - thanks for sharing the the results of your experiment!
Great teaching didactics. Congratulations!
thanks, grate tutorial
Thanks for your tutorials!

It's not exactly what you're asking for, but have you tried using the HueShift node?

If I remember correctly, I said to set the period to 6.2, right? Well that's the same as just using sine without a period in most engines.
ohh yeah got it, thanks a lot@@BenCloward
Thanks before I Start watching the video. 👍🍻

I know this one! Sign is when you sign a contract, cosign is when someone else signs that same contract with you! 🤣
I feel like we should make it a channel tradition to make at least one really bad dad joke for each video. :P
@@BenCloward lol agreed! 😁

@@BenCloward Thanks that makes way more sense!
I always feel it, but your voice and pronunciation are good
Oh, that's nice of you to say - thanks!
