Module 1 Challenge

This module covers the basics of getting started with VFX Graph.

By the end of this module, learners will be able to:

  • Identify core elements and vocabulary associated with VFX Graph
  • Create and edit VFX Graph assets
  • Construct a simple visual effect using VFX Graph

1. Creating a new effect

Using what you learned in Module 1, create a new visual effect that uses the following blocks:

  • Periodic Burst in the Spawn context
  • Set Position Shape: Cone in the Initialize context
  • Gravity in the Update context
  • Set Size Over Life in the Output context

Challenge Steps

  1. Create a new empty GameObject and add a Visual Effect component to it.
  2. Create a new Visual Effect asset, select the Minimal System template, and assign it to the GameObject.
  3. Open the Visual Effect asset to edit the graph.
  4. Add the required blocks to each context.

2. Bonus Challenge

Generate a random number between 100-1000 and set the Count property of the Periodic Burst block to that number.
