UNI VFX: Shields & Defense for Visual Effect Graph

(5 Votes)
$23.94 $23.94

UNI VFX

  • UNIversal visual effects for Unity URP
  • Uses highly performant GPU particle systems made in Visual Effect Graph.
  • Super easily customisable VFX without the need to ever enter the Visual Effect Graph Editor.
  • Includes custom shield shader made in Shader Graph with Intersection and Fade effects.
  • Uses (VFX) Events - one Game Object stores multiple effects which can be triggered via C# or Visual Scripting.
  • A total of 32 Events (not including 'stop' events). Full content breakdown in the 'Technical details' below.


❓ What are (VFX) Events?

Think of the Arc Shield effect, for example. It has these events/effects: create, loop, hit, end and stop. In this case, you start with the 'create' event, which then automatically continues with the 'loop' event. Each time the Arc Shield is damaged you send the ‘hit’ event that displays the corresponding effect. When the shield expires, send an ‘end’ event that plays the final effect and stops the ‘loop’.



✔️ Let's have a look at the details:

  • Important properties are exposed so you can change color, spawn rate, pattern texture etc. directly in the Inspector.
  • Uses HDR colors - in combination with Bloom (Post Processing Effect), you have full control over the glow amount.
  • You can freely change effects' transform to get the desired size.
  • Shields use Intersection effect that highlights parts of the shield that touch other geometry.
  • Shields fade when camera is near so you won't get wierd clipping when passing through. This can be disabled if the camera shouldn't get through.
  • Partlicles use custom uber effect shader made in Shader Graph.
  • 1k textures with few exceptions used for tiny elements like sparks, embers etc.
  • Works with Orthographic projection (in 3D projects).


⚙️ Requirements

Requires Unity 2021.3 or newer with Visual Effect Graph and Shader Graph. Install those via Package Manager before installing this Pack. If you just installed them, restart the editor before installing the VFX pack.

Works only in URP 3D projects. Intersection effect requires Depth texture enabled on the Universal Render Pipeline Asset. Visual Effect Graph has limited compatibility with mobile devices (including WebGL platform).

If the VFX doesn't show up, it needs to be recompiled. This can be easily fixed by opening the VFX assets in UNI VFX\Shields & Defense\Visual Effects. When opened in the Visual Effects Graph, the assets are forced to recompile. This should be fixed in Unity 2022.3.6 and newer.



Please don’t forget to rate this asset and write a review! It helps me improve a lot. I really want these packs to be the best they can be.
