Unity VFX Graph - Weapon Effect Tutorial

We are going to see how to create cool effects for your Weapons (Swords, Axes, Knives and other objects) with VFX Graph and Shader Graph in Unity. This nice weapon effects use a mesh shader done with SG and a few particles made with VFX Graph.

Some pretty cool results can be achieved!

Enjoy!

this is super solid. thanks for making this for us.

i would love to see this applied to other weapons such as sci fi guns

[SheeshMaster]

Thank you! It was so hard to find a tutorial that wasnt just for explosions

[azoth]

I... really don't get how I haven't found this channel sooner. This is great 🙂

man !! There is not much tutorials with the visual effect graph, that's always with the particle effect.. So thanks a lot :)

At 6:00, here is a workaround for people who don't have access to photoshop or any other texture editing applications:
1. Using the Main Texture (MainText) connect to a Sample Texture 2D node (make sure the preview is open).
2. Link the RGBA output to 3 separate Color Mask nodes.
3. Use the color picker tool and click the different colors of the blade on the texture preview.
4. Manually adjust the ranges until the Color Mask previews show the full blade area for each color.
5. Use 2 Add nodes to add the 3 Color Mask nodes.
6. Multiply by the Power node as shown in the video.
7. If you see any small bits of effect missing (along color edges for example), gradually add fuzziness in the Color Mask nodes until the edges are gone.

Hey amazing work you've done there! Is it possible to add those effect to even basic objects like squares or cubes?

[ThePoinball]

Cool Tuto ! it will help me get better visual for the legendary gear of my game ;)

[Havie]

Thank you - this guide is an amazing intro to VFX graph

[MaestroPivetta]

You should use vertex colour instead of pushing another texture to mask a mesh like that. Texture sample and generally fragment shaders cost more on the gpu.
I really enjoyed the video, thanks for the insights on the vfx graph

Thanx for the toturial, it is awesoooome

Can you do a toturial to optimize the shaders for Android?

[vaelesalsorna]

If anyone's Rotate 3D speed is different in-game than in the editor, use a multiply by deltatime.

Did Unity remove the Simple Systems from VFX graph? Experimental Blocks and Operators are enabled.
Unity 2020.3.32f1
Edit: Weird, restarting or updating Unity to 2020.3.33f1 fixed it, lol.
