What an awesome technique right? So many possibilities! Btw don't forget to turn on *Read/Write* on your character mesh import settings. Enjoy! *NEW* Check out this Disintegrate effect for characters: th-cam.com/video/we406Hc_WrM/w-d-xo.html Made a VFX Graph course btw: www.udemy.com/course/unity-vfx-graph-thunderlord-magic-effects/?couponCode=29.99_UNTIL_20-09
This tutorial is super impressive - Getting such an interesting effect so easily with the new skinned mesh renderer blocks. Especially if now there is no cpu work involved for extra skinning.
I've never used it before, so it's very helpful! It seems that it can be used for various purposes as an expression that conveys character information such as character aura, abnormal condition, attributes, etc. English translated by Google
If the character will be moving its important to connect the transform position to the bounds center. otherwise the effect will cut off as soon as you move out of range.
So I rewatched a few times and I'm not sure why but my particles aren't going all over the skinned mesh. They're just staying at the hips and slowly going up from there. Anyone know why this might be happening?
@@GabrielAguiarProd Figured it out the mesh didn't have the read / write permission set to true. I thought I had already set it but had forgot to hit apply
Yes you can. In the Shape module of the Particle System it's possible to assign a Skinned Mesh Renderer, which means you can spawn particles in an animated object/character :)
i have Read/Write enable, but my particles spawn wherever they want, i've realized that my VFX position wasn't at 0,0,0 and when placed there it kinds of get better, but is not really the same position as my skinned mesh, any solution for this? thanks!
I tried making this while the VFX object as Child of the Player to move the Object with the Player....which results wierd offset ( which i realize cause of World space and Object space positions) After few random property changes i found a wierd FIX which doesnt make any scens at all. So what i did is this; 1. Change the Local space (L) to World space (W) in Trasnform (position) "Node". which we connect to the Set Position Node. 2. Then i split the Transform "Property" and connect Rotation and Scale individually to Transform "Node". 3. Then i add a Subtract Node and Subtract Zero vector from Position vector coming from Transform "property" and connect it to Transform "Node". I tried removing either of this steps and it didnt work. But subtrating 0 from the position didnt makes any sence.. Maybe its a Glitch or maybe its a bug? Unity version (2021.3.15)
I approove. Thanks for this comment and yes, it is the same for me exactly, removing either of the steps ruins everything. Thou my version for now is 2021.3.10f.
Based on your solution, I found a way to remove the subtract node. So basically what need to have in the Transform (position) Node are two "W" instead of "L". We can easily press on the bottom L to change it to a W, but the top one is greyed out. When we put the Transform property into the Transform (position) node, the L gets greyed out, and we can't change it anymore. So if we use any mathematical operation on the transform property, the transform (position) node does not recognize the transform property node and lets us change also the top L to a W. That's why it works. With that in mind, we can just go into our transform property and change the L to a W in there. That allows us to remove the subtract node and plug the transform property directly into the transform (position) node with both spaces set to World Space. Hope that makes the solution more understandable.
Hi. Thank for tutorial. Everything so cool, but what can I do to make the particles move smoothly with the character. I mean like the option : simulator space : World , in Particle systems
hey @Gabriel Aguiar Prod. If we purchase one of your courses, can we in any way open a dialogue with you if we have questions? If so, what is the best way for us to do that?
Yes. Either Udemy or Skillshare have a Q&A section where you can ask any questions related to the course. I will try answer asap. The Q&A is also a great place to find problems from other students and learn from there.
i didnt find position for skin mesh found set pos instead for skin mesh, but the main problem is when i set the transform in the inspector the particles are not playing where the mesh is and when the camera frustrum isnt facing the vfx they dont play
woah really? so you cant spawn them in with a prefab? they always have to be at vector3.zero? I'm having the same problems as many others. i have read/ write enabled and the transform linked but particles always appear offset to a seemingly random location@@tienes7748
actually for any else that's struggling with this: converting local to world space on both the transforms and the particle system solved this issue for me

Your tutorials are awesome! I am your fan! xD
Can I use this technique for mobile game? I afraid it is very huge requirement for mobile phone.
I needed to check Read/Write. THANK YOU
Your channel is the best source to learn about unity visual effect. Keep teaching us these kind of cool techniques.
So cool and informative! I've also enjoyed many of your other effect tutorials, such as the weapon trail effect and others. Thank you so much!

My pleasure!

Is anyone else getting a weird offset causing the particles to be no where near the skinned mesh?
yes, same for every video on this channel
You need to enable the read/write permission off the mesh and hit apply, can be done on the compacted mesh in the menu "rig"
@@paivaf19 It helped. I must praise your knowledge and I appreciate your time answering this question
@@paivaf19 THANK YOU ♥♥♥♥♥
thank you my particle guru. I learned a lot from you.
You're most welcome
If the character will be moving its important to connect the transform position to the bounds center. otherwise the effect will cut off as soon as you move out of range.
what do you mean. how did you do that?
bro i cant add the character to mesh renderer can you help me
Awesome!
Thanks!
So I rewatched a few times and I'm not sure why but my particles aren't going all over the skinned mesh. They're just staying at the hips and slowly going up from there. Anyone know why this might be happening?
Maybe try to assign a different Skinned Mesh?
@@GabrielAguiarProd Figured it out the mesh didn't have the read / write permission set to true. I thought I had already set it but had forgot to hit apply
@@WheremyPoptart Thank you! I had the exact same problem
@@WheremyPoptart Thank you for sharing this Delish 😍
Great Video! This would be amazing for all sorts of RPG status effects.
Definitely!
Thank you very much!
I can see this being useful for turning a character into gold
There's also this one, where it it isn't gold, but it's glowing! Might come in handy: th-cam.com/video/tnUPngBEnQ8/w-d-xo.html
@@GabrielAguiarProd Dude!!! You are the man!!! And I need to learn how to use the VFX graph and shader graph
oh yeah thats what im talking about : )
Can we make same thing using shuriken?
Yes you can. In the Shape module of the Particle System it's possible to assign a Skinned Mesh Renderer, which means you can spawn particles in an animated object/character :)
@@GabrielAguiarProd you have a video that have similar thing but with shuriken? Sorry if I missed it.
Not yet. But it could be an interesting video too yes.
the best

What if I use URP (for mobile) and I want to crate a similar effect ( using shader graph)?
This should be extremely useful, and I'm guessing it performs better than the re-baking method?
Yes it does!

Will this be on the Asset store?
Maybe, we will see.
Okay, this is cool, but can I do this with a sprite renderer instead of skinned mesh renderer? Everything I find is for 3D.

Your VFX Graph needs to be placed at 0;0;0 in your scene, I think

Yo, Mr Gabriel, what is version of Unity in this video? Im askin cuz i cant change "bounds mode" there is no options. And this is URP or HDRP?
This is URP and it was recorded with Unity 2021.3.
@@GabrielAguiarProd Ohhh, grand merci.

Be sure to enable Read/Write ...🙄
Why not unreal.engine effect tutorials?
