Lightning bolt VFX:

Need critique

It doesn’t look like bolt. It looks like too much electricity. Need some basic bolt, the most bold in the middle of this or something.

+1 in my list to do. Draw or simulate central lightning bolt. Thanks :wink:

At first I did it differently, but because of the top view I had to make the texture more straight. With a stylized lightning strike this is not necessary.

I’ve wanted to ask for some time… A texture like the godrays from your diamond effect can just as easily be made in Photoshop, perhaps quicker. How do you decide whether to use Substance Designer instead of Photoshop? What’s your criteria?

It’s easier to get a sharp gradient in Substance.

I know its a little old now, but I’d love to see a more in depth breakdown of the sword slashes, I’ve been working on something similar recently after seeing the slashes in the new Tales of trailer https://youtu.be/AB43bXyoFzg?t=33

Did u see my tutorial?
