Shiemi : Sketch #64

Hi!

For this challenge I am planning to use a cube and energy explosion FX. These are some of the first pass I am trying out in Houdini and unity.

This is a experiment I was trying to make a combination of a 2D and a 3D FX just to get a gist of how the FX might look…

I still have to work more on the red connecting meshes that are between the cube pieces…

Planning on combing these visuals in future…

The plan is to make the following -

  • center charge FX
  • a bit of toon smoke and small debris
  • polish the wind arc FX
  • The end energy explosion is still TBD

so tried some stuff and was not happy with how things looked. So instead of making those red threads coming from the cube, I decided to explode the cube and then morph that pieces into a book (grimoire?)

And making a sword coming out from it - reference from anime- black clover.

Then making some black-red aura coming from the sword and the book.

I plan on doing this FX in unreal. So i got some basic things ready - red aura, black distort aura, cube explosion, book model (link - Book Open - Download Free 3D model by FlukierJupiter [bcc69da] - Sketchfab) and sword model (made in maya)
