UPDATED - 10/1/2018

Hi guys! , I think it’s my second time posting something here, I just wanna share the very first VFX breakdown I made, it may look incomplete but I hope you’ll learn something from it.

Here is the VFX breakdown >

The VFX is a combination of 4 trails with same textures. It’s amazing how the output looks good just by a change of colors, width of trails and speed of texture pan.

Closer look of the VFX >

Looks nice! Do you create a noise on the trail using a script?

I don’t think its a noise, It looks like a noise because of the GIF quality hahahahahaha

Thanks dude!

[sebastianXY]

Woah, that looks nice! , why not try making the lifetime of the trail longer and some particles.

Amazing ! I’m impressend how just a panning can do that king of illusion

[sebastianXY]

Yeah, it’s mostly texture panning and a good choice of colors.

Hi, how did you make it so that the top and bottom of the texture stays in place?

[sebastianXY]

Try using or making a static line/trail renderer, there are a lot of it out there on google.

[mulletdulla]

what brushes or techniques did you use to paint the textures?

[sebastianXY]

Hi mulletdulla!, I just use simple brushes (soft brushes) then for finishing touch I always use some filters like gaussian blurs and motion blurs.
