Unity VFX Graph - Vertical Beam Attack Tutorial

On this tutorial let's see how this Stylized Vertical Beam attack is done in Unity! We are gonna use Shader Graph and VFX Graph to build this bad boy and by the end you will have a great start to improve on.

Melhor canal explicando VFX / Visual Effects sem dúvidas, muito obrigado!

[Damian_DH]

dont hesitate to upload complex stuff bro because the way u explain step by step almost anyone can follow. Btw i wanna ask u something not related to VFX but for cell fracture structures. I made a columns in blender thats breakable by the enemy boss the problem is when i export the fbx with all their fragments every fragment in unity has its own animation any tip to export the FBX with only 1 animation that contains all the fragments already animated? I ended up doing it with rayfire but i want to know how to do it from blender with baked animations.


EDIT1 - I tried to link all fragments to 1 empty object but when i play the animation it behaves like a one big piece of block and fragments dont explode all over the place.

LIFE SAVER
I was actually searching for this one
i also needed it to make something like a kamehameya VFX
Thanks

[ouroboss]

Wow, i really than kind of advance vfx, I hope you do more in futur ! Really great video like always !!

[Evenskiped]

can you create this type of effect with unreal engine

[SawTrem]

UPD: Found a solution to the problem with Alpha Clipping! Down bellow.

Yo, great tutorial! I needed that for my personal project on 3D Bomberman.
Btw, I don't really understand, how you made Alpha clip threshold works: I've checked all the graph settings that you showed, but it's not working. If I'll put this shader material on, for example, cube object - it shows those holes, but there're no holes on the VFX... Changing the value does nothing on the VFX too. Can you help, please?

UPD-Solution: On VFX graph select "Output particle unlit mesh" block and check in inspector "Alpha clipping".

best explainer on here fr, can you do more particle effects tutorial without vfx graph, it isnt supported by vrchat, enjoy doing gesture animations there like finger gun to spirit gun

[TREXYT]

Hi Gabriel, is it possible to use 1 particle system and emit it in multiple positions ? (Instantiating it multiple times kill performances) Awesome video btw!

how to make the same scene in the latest version

[LaertGhambaryan]

Hi Gabriel, after adding multiply scale over life it's not rendering.What can I do?

[陳楷中-cw]

I have a problem with voronoi, it's gray. How to fix it?

[astronautical.engineer]

Excellent video. Question though: I made an HDRP version. Everything works except my Voronoi Speed. I can see the Voronio Speed working in the Shader Preview, but its not visible in my Scene view. Any ideas?

[trongtrivo]

Hi Gabriel, I have a question about why the Output Practical Quad in my project doesn't seem to have the option to ADD Shader Graph. Can you help me with this?

[amng]

Hi Gabriel, what post processing are you using for this? My colors are not that brighter like yours

[NightDrawn]

How did you taper the cylinder in Unity to have the cone shaping rather than the straight cylinder? Using Unity 2022.3 LTS and can't figure it out. Also can't preview VFX in Scene View but heard that's some odd convoluted bug unless I'm just doing something very wrong lol. Can preview the VFX in Game View with no issue

Pleased Upload on gumroad, i can't acess Patron in my country

[VoltitanDev]

I wonder if a similar beam could be achieved in Godot 4.2?
