Whether you plan on shooting fireballs from your fingertips or traveling through a wormhole, visual effects (VFX) in a game make the impossible, well, possible. Not only do they enhance the atmosphere and help tell the story of your game, visual effects bring imagined worlds to life with details that can truly captivate your players.
Unity is pushing the boundaries of real-time graphics with tools such as the VFX Graph. This node-based editor enables technical and VFX artists to design dynamic visual effects – from simple common particle behaviors to complex simulations involving particles, lines, ribbons, trails, meshes, and more.
Our comprehensive guide is intended for artists and creators looking to incorporate the VFX Graph into their game applications. It provides specific instructions on how to use the VFX Graph and its related tools to build real-time visual effects in Unity.
Taking into account experiences of solo developers and those on hundred-person teams, this guide is filled with many examples to make our AAA-quality tools more accessible. This way, everyone can find themselves at the fun part of game design.
