Synopsis
Exploring visual effects for games and how real-life elements have an effect on the creation process. Shown will be a showreel of the VFX including a healing spell, elemental projectile and more! They have been designed as if created for a stylised action RPG game in which the player character would use all these spells/attacks. All effects will be created in Unreal Engine using its Niagara system.
What motivated you to develop/create this project?
Fascination about the creation of visual effects. They are so closely linked with the principles of animation which is primarily my background but they add an extra level of problem solving with the technical side of its creation.
What has been a highlight of your time at Abertay?
Being a lab assistant for the 1st year animation module. It was so important in helping to build up my confidence and it was an extremely fulfilling role.
What are your hopes and future ambitions for after graduation?
I want to become a VFX artist in the games industry.
