Apri_kott / sketch #01

Hi !
Second attempt to document my progress in VFX. I’ll do my best to achieve it this time !
I’m going for the cast of a big Fire Sphere to put in my folio on Unreal 5.6.

These are my main references, and this is the concept.

(but i’ll surely take some liberties with it.)

This is where i am currently.
Just a sphere with cool colors

Here is my overall material…

and zooms !

edit : The soft Particles nods are not linked because I learned that when you put you material in translucent it deforms the mesh badly… If anyone have a solution for that i’d like to hear it !

I want to make a cool decal like in this post :

Sure~ [01] What I want to say is that this shader is a reference to others. Here’s the link. Decals and Stickers in Unity Shader Graph and URP (danielilett.com) Question - Highlight (Intersection) Shader - Unity Forum

but in Unreal.

i’ll search for it tonight.

Here is the Sphere moving !
I added a depth fade for a cool intersection effect (sorry for the gif)

Here are the nods.
Kinda clunky I know… but it works !

I digged a lot for the decals effect that they have in Valorant… But I’m still searching for something concluding.

To replace, I added a little blocking texture for the flammes around the sphere.

Here is the texture, pretty simple for now.

Keep you updated
