Feedback is an invaluable part of learning anything, but it can sometimes be the most stressful component of the creative process. So how do we make it easier for ourselves and for our colleagues?

Keeping your effects modular makes it easier to add randomness, iterate faster, and enhance visual variety. Our Meteor effects for #Godfall use this approach, saving production time and ensuring every effect feels unique #realtimevfx #vfx #gamedev

ExplosionTober - 08 : Insect [~2H ]

I kinda liked this one, experimented a bit about various Color Curves Assets as a way of controlling the whole system, kinda a good learning !
I'd like to add texture sampled particles, rollercoaster + another pulse :]
