Unreal Engine 5 - VFX 2024

Explosion

This project includes an explosion visual effect that combines sprites, 3D models, and ribbon trails. I created two versions of this effect to explore different visual styles:

  1. Stylized Version: Designed to complement my 'Stylized Smoke' project, this version features lower shader complexity to maintain a consistent artistic style.

  2. Realistic Version: This version aims for a more realistic appearance, incorporating higher shader complexity to enhance detail and visual depth.

The materials could be tweaked for further optimization of the shader complexity. The shader complexity could be minimized if the transparency overdraw was limited even more E.g. on the ribbon trail and flare.
