Prior to this project I haven't had a lot of experience with making shaders or VFX but I had a lot of fun and felt like I learned a lot from it! The idéa was to make an asset to a digital card game with depth in the card art, Hearthstone meets the chocolate frog cards from Harry Potter basically! What initially started as a simple animation to showcase the shader quickly escalated to a lootbox style VFX-experience.
This project was made in Unreal Engine 4 utilizing Niagara emitter systems and blueprints.
Hope your new Vengeful Wraith card will get you a bunch of unbalanced wins!
