Hi Guys,

Sharing with you this piece of work my team mate Artist has made this using Fork Particle. Its a feature which allows attaching numerous diverse particle effects with the animations of a Character perfectly timed. In this case, Its a Wizard showing his powerful magic.

What do you think about the Work?

Detail level of textures is appropriate for a PC or console game
Blending is fine

Animation and timing is very floaty and linear

  • the skulls could zoom up, hover then SMASH him in the chest
    Needs some smaller bits of stuff mixed into the explosions - debris, sparks, glowy bits, cells, etc.
    Skulls need some sort of effect around them
    Colours should be in a smaller palette - that blue smoke should have all other colours tied to it. Effect on his chest is a rainbow of colours.

Good start but I would push it much farther

Thanks for the Feedback and some very good suggestions Ryan, Yeah I have some samples of debris and sparks which I can merge with it. This is just a sample showcasing different effects attached with character bones using the Director feature. Will share its second version with a different camera angle as well. Would love to see your work on such stuff as well
