Overview

Summary
Visual effects, or VFX, are simulated motion effects added to enhance a scene, ranging from a subtle splash of water to a massive fiery explosion.
In this mission, you will learn to create your own visual effects, including fire, weather effects, and a puff of smoke.
By the time you complete this learning experience, you will be able to:
  • Decide whether to use Unity's Particle Systems or VFX Graph in order to produce an effect in your scene.
  • Produce environmental and burst effects by configuring Unity's Particle System object.
  • Interpret a simple VFX graph.

About this learning experience

This project is a standalone learning experience which uses content developed for the Creative Core pathway. You’ll find everything you need to get started with VFX in Unity, but you may also notice references to the guided learning journey for that pathway.
If you decide that you’d like to complete the whole Creative Core pathway, you can start at any time. You’ll receive credit for any tutorials that you have already completed when you do.

Rainy day near the laundry
The idea with the firefly is very cute and magical, but I decided to focus on my scene, which I plan to use in my portfolio in the future. I present to your attention a scene to which 3 VFX effects have been added. Rain, splashes and fog, also for this scene I created a shader in the form of circles on puddles. A great task that gave me the opportunity to both learn new material and consolidate old knowledge. (Unfortunately, I have not yet found a way to limit the effect of rain when using Visual Effects, so for now it rains inside buildings. I hope to fix this soon.)

Flares and bad fog
I tried to use FVX Graph to add new effects, flares looked quite nice but fog it's a bit choppy. I am happy of the result since is my first try
