︎VHS Game Menu Concept

Tools:
Unreal Material Graph
Unreal UMG Blueprints

Concept

Create a Video Game Menu based on blank VHS Covers. The original idea was based on the Sony T-120 VHS Jacket Cover.


Then I replicated the look and feel with some art style in Unreal Engine with materials and UMG aniamtions. 

Images:

The VHS Jackets all aniamte in unique ways with some materials and material functions to create a stepped FPS frame rate to wobble and move the VHS tapes and text around

Blending SDFs with IQ's Smoothmin Formula produces nice results with the "cursor" blending with the pusle on click
