Unity VFX Graph - Stylized Laser Beam Tutorial

Published 2022-02-08
In this Unity tutorial we are going to create a Stylized Beam effect with a touch electricity! We will mix Visual Effect Graph and Shader Graph with a bit of Blender and Krita in between.

Hope you guys like it!

Btw, I created and Indie Game Studio: twitter.com/GoldenBugStudio

    All of your tutorials are so awesome, you've been helping me a lot with creative expression, thank you! Also I never knew about Krita, really happy to finally have something to replace GIMP
  • @martyboi5609
    I have never followed any of your tutorials but i love watching you make all this stuff
  • @yasser_gg2276
    bro your tut is amazing bro thank you soo much btw at first i thought that this will be ez but i realize how much its complicated and take lot of time thank you for your simple tutorials
  • @geri4367
    Real nice as always Grabriel. Keep it up!
  • I'm going to have to watch this multiple times it's so info dense. So helpful! You already taught me things that will save me so much time! Thank you!
  • @psylad_
    I swear i was literally looking for this exact type of effect tutorial for like 2 hours yesterday! herooo
  • @gaidormine
    Um video mais impressionante que o outro, parabéns !!!
  • beautiful! tysm ! I learned A LOT from you. for the flashes at the end of the beam, you used a die trigger on sparks and inherit their die position? and is this optimized for a mobile game?
  • @__--_--_-----
    If your Output particle mesh has no option for Shader graph, even after checking off experimental in Preferences -> Visual effects, just press Ctrl S and save your Visual Effect and it will pop up.
  • @MagmiKirby
    Awesome video!! I just got a little bit confused after the blender part cause I can't find the plane in the asset anywhere but I imported it
  • @FOLDIK_UA
    9:37 Also, to access the shader, you must enable the Shader Validation checkbox in the graph settings
  • @mansu382
    That seamless feature on Krita is very useful! Surprised Photoshop didn't have that.😁
  • @user-gl1ls1jx3h
    11:00 No need to make a gradient texture; you can just use a UV + split node to get a gradient procedurally; pretty sure that would be better for performance.
  • @OB_ST
    Great Tutorial, hopefully your Udemy is a bit more refined in that you actually highlight the aspects you change that you just simply skim over in the free versions, for example the minor settings you just ignore after you made changes, such as the reversal of the laser beam for one. otherwise, this is still super helpful and to be expected for a free tutorial I guess.
