Curious 3D-to-2D Switch Effect Created in Unreal Engine

We love unusual effects here at 80 Level, and this one you might enjoy as well. An artist known as mellos on Reddit created an interesting effect that turns a 3D object into a 2D surface. 

As you can see in the video above, the mannequin suddenly becomes flat at certain angles – a bizarre impression that would look great in a horror game. To make it, mellos used vertex offset to X plane – try it out, maybe you'll discover something new as well.

If you want more intentional 2D-like art, check out this pretty painting-style girl, a stunning Canaanite goddess, a table full of food, this delicious soup, beautiful still life render, tasty ramen, Studio Ghibli-style food, and Gaku Tada's Blender art. We've had an interview with him if you want to learn more about his art.
