Hi guys, I am trying to replicate DMC 5 sword trail, as shown in given image. They have some kind of refraction masked with some texture.
I am unable to replicate it, I have attached my version of sword trail vs Dmc. Also i have attached my material graph.
I need help on figure out how to approach this material in UE4.
Your material is still missing a few things. I would suggest adding a dynamic parameter and animate it over time, with a mask texture so parts of the mesh are refractive, not the entire thing like in your case.
To add a glow, simply add a texture to your emissive and opacity input and give it a low-value opacity and multiply the emissive input with a blue colour.
This tutorial should point you in the right direction!
I still struggle with Normals + refraction occasionally so don’t worry too much about it!
Good luck!
time stamp is set 20:00 Minutes, in-case it doesn’t work.
Thanks @callandekeijzer!
Was able to achieve similar fx by using this. Adding the result here, if it might help others!So cool!
Thank you for sharing
