THE POWERUP EFFECT
-
This effect was made as one of the powered attacks in the indie game I worked on (Rudra)
-
This effect is also made in Niagara system unreal 5
-
The ground textures do also cast on uneven surface.
The niagara emitter
-
This is the Niagara system with different emitters that together contribute to the effect.
-
This system has a mesh used for the rays on the ground.
-
Also, the fire-like particles are sphere meshes with material around it.
-
The texture on the ground is emitter by plane mesh.
-
The inward aura is also a mesh with a material on it.
The meshes and textures
-
There are two meshes used: the bucket-shaped mesh and the spiral model (modeled in Maya)
-
The textures are all hand painted in photoshop.
The materials
-
There are three materials used to achieve the effect.
-
One of the materials is used for the effect of the rays from the ground.
-
The other one is used for the ground texture.
-
For the inward aura effect, the material is used for two emitters by alternating their dynamic parameter values.
