  • @DevramAbyss
    Really appreciate how you explain/show the commands and inputs you're using to do everything you're doing. Thanks!
  • @ian3978
    I've been trying to create an effect exactly like this for the 2-3 days now you're the goat
  • @mrCetus
    Why are you always making the tutorials I need. <3
  • @Maurilustrador
    thank you so much, for all your tutorials and time dedicated to this! I just love VFX and particle effects
  • @snowconure
    I’ve been waiting for this! Thank you so much!!
  • @jyumaidarn8518
    For those having trouble with the Voronoi noise (not seeing after connecting to base color), check your settings in the Output Particle Mesh node in your VFX graph. The Voronoi Scale doesn't seem to auto update from the default of 0. You can simply set the shader graph to "none", then reassign it. Or, you can manually change the value. Hope this helps.
  • Thank you grabiel! If we compare this tutorial with your older sword slash video, it is obvious that you got extremely better! congrats
  • @nemuruvfx
    Good to note that when you get to the edit key to 25 in the curve editor to hit F to zoom out. Thanks for the amazing tutorial! I'm liking VFX Graph more now.
  • @yuzan_9614
    I used the pixel slash effect that I made with reference to this video in the explanation video of my combo action. Thank you for your always polite commentary videos. Translated by Google Translate
  • @Dedemonn1
    Great technique, thanks! I was using something very similar, but 2D and without circlular mask. Time to upgrade. :)
  • @YAS-vm8ko
    For both side render: Make target URP(or build in) then sellect bothside in rendertype. And check support virtual graph checkbox.
  • @KDSBestGameDev
    Great Video like always. Also you could leverage Animation Events instead of fiddling with delays.
  • Dude!! This is an absolutely phenomenal tutorial. Even though I’m in Unreal Engine, this has given me a great idea about how to do the same in unreal.. I have been looking for a sword slash tutorial like this for ages. All tutorials are usually using weapon trails, which is a horrible and ugly way of doing it.. I have made my own system for sword slashes, but it is far from optimal.. This video is fantastic 👌 For the best weapon slash effects in any game, look up Genshin Impact, absolutely brilliant weapon slashes in that game.. Oh and one last thing.. Is it possible you create the same setup in unreal and make a video on that too? 😁 I’m not sure if you work in unreal too.. Anyways, thank you very much for this ❤️
