Heyo! :snail:

I spent a long time thinking about what kind of VFX I could come up with for the April challenge and I got an idea! I was very impressed by the rat effect from “Plague on the Tail”
so i want to make a vfx inspired by this only with snails XD

Today I created a base and am starting to create 3D models.
Wish me luck with this difficult task :saluting_face:

Hey!

So the snail behaviour is based on this tutorial:

Then I’ve modelled and textured the snail in Blender :smiley:

And made trail of the snail with sampling snails and spawning sprites when they move. To make them oriented to the surface I’ve used the same technique as with snails (orienting towards the distance field vector).

Very simple, but it was a lot of fun!
Planning to still add environment, fix some bugs and polish (depending on time)
