[FREE] Smear Frame effect - Download Project from GitHub!

[Kashaar]

Hey everyone!

Yesterday I saw a sweet version of the “smear frame” 3D effect on Twitter, which was recently made popular by Overwatch. And I thought I’d have a quick go at recreating it - turned out quite well!

If you’re curious how this effect is achieved, or just want to use this in your own projects - then you’ll be very happy to hear that you can!

Download the project on GitHub: GitHub - LuggLD/SmearFrame: Unreal Engine 4 smear frame material effect

Hope you like this!

Cheers,

Looks nice I didnt check out the project itself, but regarding your GitHub comment:

As such, it does not work with animated skeletal meshes in the way you’d expect. Suggestions or pull requests are very welcome though!

To make it uses with skeletal meshes you could use the velocity of each individual bone (or at least a few bones). That way you could assign a different smear strenght based on individual parts, e.g. for a scenario where a character is waving his arm up and down.

Yep, but handing that data around is not as trivial or cheap as it first seems, at least for a generic solution. Specific ones would probably work quite well like that
