Hey, could you make a video on what a good vfx portfolio would look like?

[@Alabalahama]

Jason Keyser, you are my favorite vfx animator! Your videos are trully inspiring! Keep up the good work and we are all waiting for your new tutorials! Maybe one day you will show us how did you make that one video with aqua and torch and other oldschool stuff of yours ;)

Thanks for these videos, that was very interesting. Timing is one of my favorite thing to manipulate when I create a visual effect. Keep up the good work ^^

Dear Jason Keyser, what kind of soft do you use for create VFX?)

[@green3y3guy]

Could you make a tutorial on how to go about adding VFX to a game?

You can find a lot of tutorials out there. It mostly involves creating a mesh (usually a quad for displaying what is basically an animated sprite) and putting a material on it with your fancy shader, which might involve things like blending different textures over time or cutting out parts of a texture based on certain external parameters, or whatever. These meshes may or may not be spawned from a particle system/particle emitter, which is just a fancy way of saying "an object that spawns a lot of those meshes and controls their positions, scales, rotations, etc over time". In off-the-shelf engines like Unity or Unreal you will find these tools readily available and pretty intuitive to use. A lot of the effects you see on these videos are a combination of animated textures and particle emitters and can be achieved by tweaking their parameters like speed over lifetime, etc. (the specifics are exactly what this series is about :P)
