![]() I am fairly sure that the ‘smokey’ fire is another particle emitter that is attached to the tip of the weapon. I am working on a character that swing its sword around so I think I should try to figure this out while I’m at it. However a seperated anim in mechanim can also read a parameter to factor the width incase you have dynamic weapon sizes that affect the energies size The downside is this is not a ribbon, the trail is 2D and and will be used for agnostic sizing that does not describe the blades actual dimensions, so for flurry of energy only. The arc rotation action is started at the start to ‘pre-spawn’ the trail mesh into a smooth-enough arc rather child_trail can be pooled into the game and instantiated under the character structure to follow along should the characters movement need to adjust the trail as well. 1 operates the positioning of pivot the 2nd operates the swinging arc This allows you to kill its computation immediately after it’s neededĪnimY1…2…3… will be used for different arcs, 60, 90, 180, 270, and 360.īy splitting the operation of VFX like a machine you get the ability to simplify and re-use simple data for many actions. If the character attack has no change in arc plane then it only needs 1 frame. The parent activates in mechanim at frame 1 synchronized with the characters attack sequence and uses 2 animationsĪnim_X1 - Places the parent into the desired pivot location + angle the parent into the arc plane with the weaponĪnim_Y1 (8-12 frames needed per 90 degrees*) - This rotates the parent to create an arc for the trailĪnim_X1…2…3… can be multiple anims for a multi-hitting sequence. ![]() Getting that smooth 2D arc trails is better achieved using the trail emitter offset under a parent with the trail started far sooner in the attack than you expect, usually at the very beginning but kept invisible. I can also link a video if you want.ĮDIT : Hope I’m allowed to post content from a game, tell me if it’s not ok I hope I’ll get some advices on common methods used to achieve these effects, I’m really discovering VFX right now !Īlso, here is a link with a screenshot so you can see the effect without movement. Most slash effects I saw, if not all, are rendered on a flat mesh, which is ok for giving a sharper feeling, but in that case, the fire look like a volume, which is slightly different, and used a lot in DS3. I could also spawn particles quad along the trajectory with some animated texture, but it wont look like a continuous, moving fire like it does on the gif above, which is precisely what I find interesting in this effect. Ribbons spawned by a particle emitter can do that too, but I have no idea how a mesh could do the same. BUT, I still have one problem : in my example, the ribbon always faces the camera while still keeping the initial curve, to avoid getting a “2D” fire, which isn’t very convincing. While this is less flexible, it also solve the broke ribbon. I found 3 approach :ĭynamically emit a ribbon (particle strip as unity call them) from the sword, but since the animation is fast, it breaks the ribbon.Ĭreate a ribbon mesh and render the texture on it then animate it correctly to synchronize with the sword motion. While it seems like a pretty common effect, I struggle on a few points to get something similar on Unity. Compatible with 2019, 20.I’m trying to copy some effects from Dark Souls 3, especially the trail effects of some bosses (not the trail of the weapon itself, but the fire effect in this example). With this course you will have the closest real life experience possible to the industry of Visual Effects creation in a Game Development scenario.Ĭourse made with Unity URP in 2020.1.14. While you create this advanced effects, you will learn stuff like:ġ) Use Shader Graph and create practical shaders for game effects Ģ) Create original Textures from scratch Ĥ) Create hand-painted Flipbook Animations ![]() Then we will move on to intermediate and advanced effects creation, an ability set composed of:Ībility 01: Projectile - Projectile with Trails, Warm-up effect, Impact and Hammer Glow Ībility 02: Earthshatter - Earthshatter effect, Hammer Trails and Hammer Glow Ībility 03: Hammer Punch - Hammer Punch effect, Hammer Trails and Hammer Glow Ībility 04: Thunderstorm - Thunderstorm AoE, Lightning Strike effect, Warm-up effect, Falling Projectiles effect. We will have a look at the workflow of this powerful node-based-tool and start with some quick and basic exercises to get started, like some sparks. You'll learn how to use Visual Effect Graph from basic to intermediate. You will create an Ability Set for a game character called Thunderlord. This course is all about the creation of Visual Effects with Unity Visual Effect Graph.
