this is super solid. thanks for making this for us. i would love to see this applied to other weapons such as sci fi guns

[@SheeshMaster64]

Thank you! It was so hard to find a tutorial that wasnt just for explosions

[@deltasprey8784]

At 6:00, here is a workaround for people who don't have access to photoshop or any other texture editing applications: 1. Using the Main Texture (MainText) connect to a Sample Texture 2D node (make sure the preview is open). 2. Link the RGBA output to 3 separate Color Mask nodes. 3. Use the color picker tool and click the different colors of the blade on the texture preview. 4. Manually adjust the ranges until the Color Mask previews show the full blade area for each color. 5. Use 2 Add nodes to add the 3 Color Mask nodes. 6. Multiply by the Power node as shown in the video. 7. If you see any small bits of effect missing (along color edges for example), gradually add fuzziness in the Color Mask nodes until the edges are gone.

[@ThePoinball]

Cool Tuto ! it will help me get better visual for the legendary gear of my game ;)

[@小小怪-i9y]

so cool bro!!

[@MaestroPivetta]

You should use vertex colour instead of pushing another texture to mask a mesh like that. Texture sample and generally fragment shaders cost more on the gpu. I really enjoyed the video, thanks for the insights on the vfx graph

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Thanks for the tip!

[@seekuro6415]

How would you use vertex color for this purpose? (I'm a total newbie on shaders and I can't make use of this tip as it is)

[@MaestroPivetta]

@@seekuro6415 with your 3d editor of choice using its vertex paint feature paint red (R channel) the desired faces. Then you can use as shader input the vertex colors using the VertexColor node. Split the vector4 (RGBA) and use the R channel as mask. Remember you have 4 channels you can use! In blender you can select the faces in vertex paint and assign them the current color using shift-K

[@spectre1312]

Hey amazing work you've done there! Is it possible to add those effect to even basic objects like squares or cubes?

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Yes it is, simply adjust the AABox.

[@andresmicalizzi5420]

Awesome FX!

[@teknikoscave]

If anyone's Rotate 3D speed is different in-game than in the editor, use a multiply by deltatime.

[@jaeyeonlee2294]

When working with a lit shader the lights are extremely bloated out

[@FrostshadowStudios0310]

These effects look great if a character is charging a powerful attack where, for example, the chop the enemy into minced meat before they can react. Or if they perform one or three upward slashes that release powerful shockwaves meant to blow the enemy away and give you some breathing room.

[@akhiliyengar8865]

the shader is not working for me

[@mezzanine510]

I love your videos man, they are such a great resource for me and so many people. I bought your VFX Unity course on Udemy and am working through it right now, literally taking it on a Friday night to learn the Particle System better, lol.

Awesome, thank you!

Hi sir! Experimental Blocks and Operators are enabled. the Simple Systems from VFX graph => Not show Unity: 2023.2.0f How to fix? 13:20

[@PanutatRatchatasuwan]

In new version of Unity, there's no PBR graph or I can't find it, I don't know. Can anyone help me?

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

You can use a Blank Shader Graph, double-click to open it and then in the Graph Inspector/Settings say it's Lit.

[@teknikoscave]

Did Unity remove the Simple Systems from VFX graph? Experimental Blocks and Operators are enabled. Unity 2020.3.32f1 Edit: Weird, restarting or updating Unity to 2020.3.33f1 fixed it, lol.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Happened to me once too.

[@ulus2109]

I cant see my custom mesh in mesh preview, also cant find the pbr graph. Seems outdated please make a new video.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

For the PBR Graph, you can start with a Blank Shader Graph and set the target to Universal (if you are in URP) and select Lit.

[@helenawilsena5821]

May i can use this For Mobile Game? Or it will be heavy for mobile?

[@RafaelSales55]

Hii Gabriel, can I do it only using blender too?

[@PhiVaGoo]

The VFX - 'Set Size Random (Uniform)' doesn't work or do anything for me. I have 'Add Tex Index over Life' also

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

It should be "Set Tex Index over Life" instead and if your "Set Size" seems to do nothing, then make sure the "Set Size *over Life* " has the composition set to multiply.

Hi there. the smoke texture link isnt working. Great video btw. thanks

2021 and the shader graph has changed. The PBR shader is not available. Lit material is used now. But Can't find a metallic texture. Metallic only takes a float value. Any ideas?

[@cheesepantsgaming1964]

Ok found the answer. If anyone is blind like I am. You can just plug the individual value instead of all RGBA(4) into metallic.

@@cheesepantsgaming1964 what should i do with the albedo in the beginning, its gone also

6:00 is there a way to do this based on the "position" instead of using a texture? So for example if position < condition add effect otherwise not

When using LWRP with fog on, it affects the color of the particle. Is there any way to fix that?

Can we add effects like these to rings or necklaces

Yes, very likely. Simply adjust the box (the area) where the effect is going to be.

[@vaibhavkakkar2395]

Can we use VFX for Unity 2D ? just like we can use particle effects and shader graph, since i see all the tutorials for VFX for 3D

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

If you are referring to VFX Graph. I don't think it's yet available in the 2D Renderer. :/

[@vaibhavkakkar2395]

@@GabrielAguiarProd Thanks a lot for response, yes i was referring to VFX graph, so in 2D to create effects i can use particle effects and shader graph only right ? these are the best combination to create effects in 2d?

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Yes. It's even safe to say that the vast majority of games done in Unity use the particle system and a node-based shader creation tool.

[@Sheepindisguise]

The shader looks fine on the mesh in my Main Preview, but once I apply it to a Material and the Mesh itself it's very white. Any solution?

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Make sure to apply the Textures to the Material created from the shader. And adjust the values of that Material. Sometimes people forget that.

[@daoviettuan2002]

Like strongly. Only for URP and HDRP?
