Star Shooter - VFX Study
Another VFX study I made recently!
Wanted to make something cute but deadly.
Based it off Kirby and Pokemon, I really like some off the vfx on nintendo games.
This projectile is really simple, there isn't really any shaders doing crazy stuff, just one so i could customize colors and brightness, everything else is just a bunch of textures.
The full thing!
Played a lot of kirby games recently, and i always liked the cutesy visuals of the nightmarish stuff of kirby games, specially de attacks!
So i made it based on that, just a cutesy projectile!
The projectile itself is the mesh of a star, i made a simple shader to add a little bit of fresnel and emission to it, then i made a texture of a star and placed behind it so it would give it a "glow" effect, used a trail system for its tail.
The impact is just a bunch of textures with the right timing!
Made the little stars be expelled out of the explosion with the particle system.
Really liked how the explosion ended up! I really love cosmic stuff!
