The "Wedding Cake" fountain is one that this guy covered when he talks about Super Mario Galaxy:

It's not quite the same, but it's interesting to see all the things they do to get that cool water level effect.



Heh, that's my video! Thanks for the shoutout.

Galaxy has the other approaches too, you can see a Tongue Fountain over in Beach Bowl Galaxy.

A few of the effects also have variants of the "Wormy Fountains" style, most notably in the Warp Pod code. Their particle system lets them do those sorts of "Stripe Particles" as they call them, as well.

Just watched your video. It's really cool! (and makes me a bit jealous :D 600k views, wow!!! My best video had 22k and only because it was a talk I have on a stage at UnrealFest)

What Software did you use to animate your examples so nicely? The example-pictures and texts move very nicely around on your slide.


Let me plug this insane website that Jasper_ also made (mentioned in that video as well): https://noclip.website/

I think they wrote their own bespoke per-game levelblob decoders and renderers. Deserves its own HN submission.
