Stylized Beam (2022)

This stylized beam was created because I wanted to explore the functions and learn more about Unitys Visual Effects Graph. I used a reference to create the basic lazer which I further developed and expanded to calculate collisions and dynamicly change length from this.

When working on this I learned a lot about how particles can be used to enhance effects. I also learned how masks and textures are painted and used. All non-default masks and textures are painted by myself using Krita.

After completion the effect was programmed to fully work as a gameplay element with detecting collisions and only firing whilst specified key is pressed.

The shield seen in one video is from one of my previous effect works with VFX Graph.
