How to make a pyramid-ish shape from a cube in unity (for making a muzzle flash)
Hi there, I have seen on this site that this isn't possible but that was in 2011. I also saw a post recommending to make a pyramid mesh and put an alpha texture on it for a muzzle flash effect. http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1219727/how-to-make-a-muzzle-flash.html
It looks just like how I imagined i might do this. But I'm struggling how to change the size of the face of a cube. Is this definitely not possible? I can't find the actual 'Angry Bots' tutorial, and I tried importing the project assets from store, but I couldnt get any of it to work for me (I prefer to make it all from scratch when I can so I understand it more)
Do I have to make it all in Blender? Or is it that I just need to make the cube the right shape in Blender and then use a texture material on it in Unity?
If anyone can explain how to get the pyramid and to make it look like a muzzle flash (ie. how to actually use the textures which appear to be a side-view, on a 3d object) i'd be extremely grateful.
Thanks
IMO it looks good enough if you just use a quad with a transparent texture.
The pyramid thing barely makes a difference in first person, AngryBots uses it because it's third person.
ah ok , thanks for the reply. I'll give that a go then. now I can move on to my next problem :)
