This course is all about the creation of Visual Effects for Games with Godot Engine. It will take you from a Beginner standpoint to an Intermediate level in Game VFX. We will begin with something easy like some Sparks so we can have an overview of how the Particle System works in Godot. Then we will proceed to more elaborate abilities, like a blue mage Area of Effect and eventually a Fire Projectile. We will also see how to create variations for both of this magic abilities, like a Fire AoE and an Electric Projectile. Besides learning a lot about how the particle system works, you will also learn how to create shaders in Godot with the Visual Shader tool. Texture creation is also very important step when it comes to creating special effects for games, and on this course you will learn a lot about it. We will create hand-drawn textures with Krita, but a big portion of texture creation is done using node based tool called Material Maker, a fee and powerful substance designer alternative. And at the very beginning we will have a theory chapter. Where we have a brief overview of the type of effect that most commonly exist, as well as a interesting view of the VFX Fundamentals, a great foundation of Realtime VFX.
