Level up effect for a character whose armor and weapon also upgrade on levelup.
Character glow is made with a material shader, the spirals are ribbons following a spline plus some sparklies here and there.
If I had more time and energy, I would have added some snazzy animationfor the wizard at the end
(Yes, I am really done now)

This challenge was really fitting since I joined a small private rpg project recently
The core idea from my effect is to underline the level up mechanics - when the character reaches a certain level, their armor also “levels up” and a new skin is unlocked for the player.
My main inspiration will be magical girl transformations, especially the “glowing body” part.
Other than that I looked at different level up effects from RPGs and MMOs and will try to incorporate some glowing beam and whispy particles.
I do not know if I will be able to use this idea but hopefully it will be fun to give it a try!
