I'm back with more cloud shaders ☁️😶‍🌫️☁️

Previous iterations were too annoying to use for horizon clouds, so I've returned to ye old faithful. Just a cylinder-like shape with a scrolling texture. Works pretty well.

What are Flipbooks and How are Flipbooks Used in Game FX? Learn what flipbooks are, and how game engines use the classic animation flipbook to render animated textures inside of video game visual effects.

🤔 Spritesheets or flipbooks?
Both have multiple frames in a single texture, but for spritesheets, these frames do not play in sequence. It allows for a varied randomized effect vs. a looping animation you get from a flipbook!
More about flipbooks: www.vfxapprentice.com/blog/what-ar...

A simple disintegration effect using only a material and no particles.
By combining alpha erosion with a noise mask and world position offset, you can push the effect further. Here the vertices rotate along their normals while the mesh erodes away.
