Brand new to VFX, struggling to find my way

Hello and welcome here.

Check this topic about mobile vfx:

Maybe you will find something useful there.

Also try to set a goal and create something. The goal should be some effect.
Pick engine (Unity, Unreal, CryEngine or anything else)
Pick tools for texture maps and mesh generation (Photoshop or Krita, Houdini or 3ds max, AE or Nuke…)
Pick fx (Magic Explosion, Realistic Explosion…)
And try to make it. You can set a deadline since it doesnt need to be perfect. You can improve it later.
You can also try to recreate your favorite vfx from games.

If you get stuck then google. You can also always ask here for help.
If you cant decide what to create then I can give you an assignment just for fun :slight_smile:
Create a rising smoke
Not large smoke just something like a tire from car burning
No spritesheets just a single smoke texture with no animation
Grey or white color
Add slight wind effect if you want
