Question by rioforce · Sep 05, 2013 at 07:28 PM · shaderresourceseffectssimplebillboard

Simple Special effects

Hi, I was wondering if there was any way to make simple special effects like the one at 0:27 and 0:31 and again at 0:45 of this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHSLhj5xBJQ

As you can see, they look sort of like billboard textures, but I am not sure what they could be. They also look like they aren't very resource intensive, so that would be good for me too. :)

Thanks!

Perhaps an image, for those who cannot use youtube for various reasons...

What is that supposed to mean? I was asking a simple question, and I get a sarcastic remark...

Actually @Sajidfarooq question is a good one. It's not really safe to assume that everyone can check the video. Anyway,I can't really figure out what effect you're talking about so it is safe to assume that you mean those 2D'ish textures? (like that little explosation in alt text and the blue/red explosion on the ground in alt textalt text
If that's the case then can't you just use regular textures which look as you'd like them to and just have them face the camera? (for example with .lookAt(camera))

Or perhaps you can do that with some form of shader? (never touched them so I'm most probably wrong with this one)

If you mean the time freeze than just use Time.time = 0;

So I probably don't need to use particles? Just a plane that spawns when you shoot a gun (for example) and maybe a couple of particles for extra effects... Thanks for the info. :)

@Sajidfarooq I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you may not be able to use YouTube...
