One man asked me to show how I make this texture:

  6. Polar coordinates

    I seem to be addicted to social networks. I will continue to do similar mini-tutorials in this thread when the first post has 100 likes. I hope it will not be soon.

Nice, a lot of interesting detail there! My main suggestion would be adding at least a slight trail element for showing the trajectory of the arrow to connect the source and destination effects more clearly

I just notice it. At the beginning all was fine, speed was 25 and arrow had a trail. I didn’t pay attention to it when I set the speed to 200, the arrow didn’t have time to appear on the GIF, but it is on the video. Same thing with trail and particles.:pensive:

I made a tutorial for Russian VFX artists, but with English subtitles for English viewers:

Now is good. It would be better if I did it right away as in the reference and didn’t change anything… :pensive:
