Fire/Rock Projectile and Impact VFX
Made in Unreal Engine 5.
Flame texture and smoke texture from kenney.nl.
Updated effect. I added another hemisphere that's much brighter along with a flash to make more of an impact when the rock hits. I also added smoke trails to some rock pieces and a ring texture that moves outwards after the impact.
Original version.
The impact effect used two hemispheres which scaled up in size, one with a dissipating texture and the other a simple texture as a bloom effect.
Particles with a high velocity were used with different cone angles to create the muzzle flash effect.
The rock was simple mesh made in Maya and imported into Unreal. It generated a location event which activated the smoke trail.
Some of the event handlers used in creating the effect. The rock generated a location event for the smoke trail and had a collision event which activated the impact VFX.
Mesh imported from Maya used for the impact burst.
Simple platonic solid from Maya used for the large rock and impact debris.
