Overall, really nice video.
However, I would like to point out that there's a serious lack of explanation. I can somewhat understand what's going on because i have some experience, but for newcommers, it'd be more challenging.
Here is a list of a few things that i think need to be explained:
- why do we set the shader to "unshaded" (2:10)
- explain the UVPolarCoord (roughly describe how it transforms the image, what is the scale parameter) (3:00)
- mention that what we're doing is creating a mask (5:20)
- how did you end up with "T_vfx_lelu1_tiled.png", did you create it, if so how did you come up with it to create the portal effect ? Did you experiment until you got something pleasing or did you know what needed to be done in order to have the result you wanted ? (5:40)

The particle effect its so cool, im using it in my game. If, like me you see a line at the start of the circle rotation, its because the Portal Texture have midmaps enabled. Select your portal texture, tab Import, Disable Generate Midmaps, and clic Reimport.

You just best! Keep up the good work! ❤

Awesome work !! Could you do maybe the Shoryugeki from Monster hunter generation next?
Or maybe what are the most commen vfx / vfx techniques?

I had some trouble with the first part of the portal. It had a weird artifact (a jagged line) at the 9 o'clock position of the portal. The fix for me was to turn off mipmaps when importing the texture. Posted it here in case it helps someone else.

thanks, really helpful! Just one question, how I can export the portal to add in my main project?

[TheNakedSalmon]

That is very nice! I have tried to make one in 2D :S not that great but still ok-ish. Have you tried to do this in 2D?

Don't use scale to change the size of a mesh though.
