Question by Bokaii · Mar 17, 2017 at 10:33 PM · particle systemeffectstrail rendererspells

Magic particle effect

I would like to do a game where I can cast spells as done in Harry Potter. The problem is that I'm very new to the whole "particle effects" thing. I'm fairly known when it comes to scripting (Not VERY advanced things though) but not particles. Can someone maybe reference a tutorial on how to make spells, from particle systems, like in Harry Potter? Maybe just a fireball with a trail or something.

Another thing I've tried, is to put a trail renderer on an empty gameobject. But I don't know how to make a color-neutral texture for the trail renderer (color neutral so I can change the color of the renderer, instead of the color of the texture itself).

  • I hope someone can help me. Thank you c:

Here is a pretty good Unity training video on the subject. Might be a good start. https://youtu.be/xTQeW4muY10?list=PL4NFLJQR80hl1RprYZf3h_1IjrQqrIHCf

There's a whole subsection of the asset store dedicated to magic particle effects. Find some you like, download them, take them apart and study them: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/search/page=1/sortby=relevance/query=category:130&updated:213

I would rather learn how to make such myself. I love to learn, and I love to get bet at things. So if you have any tutorials on how to make these myself, I would love to have a link??

There really is nothing technical to learn about how particle systems work that isn't explained in the Unity documentation. The skill is in knowing, from an aesthetics point of view, the visual effect generated by combining certain combinations of modules and textures. And that's why I'm saying you should download an example and study it - it's not something you can learn in a blog article.

$$anonymous$$aybe there is a particle effect tutorial series, which explains different combinations of the particle system, and how to use them. I don't mean a single tutorial, but an actual series where you can learn it?
