Beam VFX

Beam VFX

Here is a Beam VFX that I was able to make in 3 days as part of a test. After their feedback, I improved the overall timing to have more impact and dynamism. This FX was made on Unity without VFX graph and using Substance Designer for alpha textures and noise. I made smoke alpha with ZBrush.
