For programming, when using tweens, don't forget to use easing functions, lots of them. And specially for you I made a simplified Easing F

Jeremy Mitchell, (@floatvoid on twitter) sent me a shader version of my previous tutorial about rendering tricks! These are more advanced, but more versatile and have improved performance. Thanks a lot, Jeremy <3

Here's another programming/art tutorial! This one is heavier on the programming side, but should still be useful to artists that wanna know how to do some simple rendering tricks I use a lot. I also hope that these will help you make your own render codes. You can do all sorts of stuff by messing wi
