Working on a custom comic book shader. Loving the rugged looks and looking to turn this to something bigger.

Okay recently we discussed how to create an efficient escalator geometry, but what about animating it?

Of course you can always just send a bunch of stairs along a spine, but I didn't like that. First of all: a bunch of objects running on a loop seems like a bit of a hassle and also a waste of draw-calls.

So as I was expecting to do a lot of math anyways, I wanted to just do it properly.

Updated my old Occlusion article because I saw this "custom" AO by placing meshes and a simple texture in addition to the SSAO ins Sims 4: https://simonschreibt.de/gat/deus-ex-occlusion/#update2

The sparkles on water are Sims 4 is NOT part of the water shader but a glittery particle system on top. I noticed it since I encountered a small issue where the water is culled incorrectly. Had to add it as update to my old "Scribble Cel" article: https://simonschreibt.de/gat/scribble-cel/#update2
