Hey everyone, just couldn’t stay away from one of my personal favourite energy form) Although this time i instead of single fx i think it’ll try to make a Starcraft2 fanart-kind-of-thing) Always enojoyed protoss visual style, so i’ll try to make an alternative of a Tempest unit ( or smth like that )
Current status : i think it’s done) Not completely satisfied but it’s ok)
Here’s a Unity ( 2019.4.8f1 ) project with it all ( except for the local caches )…if someone is interested 
Rough sketch)

Update: alright, finished the mesh and uv’s, the next step is Substance texturing)
https://gyazo.com/2d04518f35720ab8942d7d9776741c30
Made a groundplane, projected sc2 tex. and added a bit of depth)
original texture is taken from https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/008/087/017/large/michael-chae-chae-8-primeval-wilds.jpg?1510391542
Alrighty, i think i’ve overestimated my texturing abilities))) So i deicded to make a simple overlay pattern with a geometry, by the end of the day it should be about fx , not the textureing…i guess)
Update: added a bit of bump map outlines
https://gyazo.com/b3ec009064077d37edbd2e194e6d04b4
Alright, brought it to the Unity and applied some basic shaders and post fx to it…

Finally started working on an fx itself)) Made a rough sketch , will probably add some lightings and inner core as well…
https://gyazo.com/54f6f6ca24185173b079b846f2182c5b
Alright, added some minor lightings…will probably make several variants of the inner part of the sphere

https://gyazo.com/77a169a3b25a301d2851b9ce7cbce52d
Still not happy with the fx transition, maybe some scrolling stuff will help to snap those two things together
https://gyazo.com/2ebf22f913f30ca46327a8d821a66e99
Alright, tried a bit more complex pattern…still looks a bit unfinished , will probably add smth. in the inner part of the sphere
https://gyazo.com/b1743b0991eb56d193f29b9082e6369b
Another update…added some lightings. The last thing i’d want to try is going to be some shader based image distortion…will see if it works)
https://gyazo.com/17c7c3d23cd43426c3c40ab4e2be1317
Alright, distortion is done so i think i’m getting close)
