Magical sword - Dissolve shader tutorial in Blender

I will show you how I’ve created the custom shader to generate the magical sword effect in my latest animation. This is what we call a dissolve effect where you use a texture to make an object disappearing. On top of this we will add a bit of magic, with a simple emissive along the dissolving edges.

I'm learning blender and I'm really glad I find this channel, i can learn many cool stuff with your videos that are very well explained

[ariakarasya]

This is very easy for beginners like me to understand. I plan to create such an effect for my little game sprite. This is very helpful, I am very grateful for the tutorial!.

[onlyeyeno]

A thousand thanks for Your excellent tutorials, they are really among the absolutely best there are in my humble opinion. Not only are You showing interesting and useful techniques, but You are explaining and demonstrating them so effectively and comprehensively that I very often find myself learning new things about blender and its "inner working" that are not in the "main goal" of the tutorial.
And on top of that I personally find Your style and pace of presentation to be very pleasant and easy to follow... All AAA+
If there is anything thing possibly missing it would to sometimes have a "shortCut-keys" visible on screen, then again it might possibly (likely) be the case that You have Your own specific (non default) "shortcut configurations" in which case showing them on screen wouldn't be very useful.
Best regards
