With Unity’s Visual Effect Graph, you can trigger particles to spawn by using events. As an extension of this, you can trigger events using other systems. In this tutorial, you’ll learn what GPU Events are, explore their different blocks, and see an example of their use. Using a fireworks effect as an example, you will also learn how GPU Events can be applied in the systems of a fireworks effect.

Bloom gives the illusion of an extremely bright light and is a great way to enhance add visual ambiance to your Scene.

With Unity’s Visual Effect Graph, you can integrate Shaders from Shader Graph into your effects. Although currently an experimental feature, it provides new opportunities for enhancing the look and feel of your effects without doing any Shader coding. In this tutorial, you will learn how to create Shaders in Shader Graph that are compatible with the Visual Effect Graph, explore how properties can be integrated into your effects, and use these properties to drive your Shader effects. To demonstrate this, this tutorial uses a fireworks example effect.

Anti-aliasing helps smooth edges and visual artifacts when rendering a Scene. It’s especially helpful with high-frequency visuals where the brightness or color changes dramatically over a small number of pixels, often seen as interference or moire patterns, and Meshes that are far away from the Camera.

In this session, you will gain an understanding of Unity’s VFX Graph workflows and functions. You will learn how to construct a simple graph to simulate leaves falling from a tree, address common challenges (such as adding gravity and collisions), and explore practical techniques to produce high-quality, eye-catching visual effects. Who should attend: Anyone who wants to learn how to create and optimize visual effects with VFX Graph. Attendees should have a basic familiarity with Unity’s interface, but no prior experience with visual effects is required. This includes: Developers looking to incorporate eye-catching effects into their Unity games. Technical Artists wanting to streamline and optimize particle and visual effects.

In this tutorial, you will: Explore how HDRP post-processing effects can be used to bring a world to life Consider an exercise you can use to increase your skill in applying post-processing effects This tutorial is part of Buried Memories: High Fidelity Game Visuals.

With Unity’s Visual Effect Graph, you can choose where particles spawn using predefined volumes and shapes. In this tutorial, using a simple fireworks display, we’ll explore what a position block is and how it can be used to initialize particles. This tutorial also covers sequential spawning blocks and how you can use them to extend basic particle spawning.

Particle effects simulate small objects like smoke, fire, and dust. These effects enhance visuals by adding depth, realism, and movement to scenes, which enriches the gameplay experience. In this tutorial, you will create visual effects to simulate an explosion when the enemy catches the player and a pickup effect for the tokens.

Color Grading is a term borrowed from the film industry, meaning to use color to create or enhance moods in video. The Color Grading Effects is a highly versatile tool that can affect the final look and feel of your visuals in subtle or extreme ways. Here, we’ll explore a few of the effects.

Depth of Field is a common post-processing effect that simulates the focus properties of a camera lens. In real-world applications, camera lenses can sharply focus only on a specific object or distance. Objects nearer or farther from the camera will be out of focus or blurred. The blurring helps give a visual cue to the viewer about the object’s distance.
