UNI VFX

  • UNIversal visual effects for Unity URP
  • Uses highly performant GPU particle systems made in Visual Effect Graph.
  • Includes special effects for shields, dissolve and characters.
  • Super easily customisable VFX without the need to ever enter the Visual Effect Graph Editor.
  • Uses (VFX) Events - one Game Object stores multiple effects which can be triggered via C# or Visual Scripting.
  • A total of 145 VFX Events (not including 'stop' events), 96 Prefabs, 114 Textures and 48 Meshes optimized for VFX. Full content breakdown in the 'Technical details' below.


Contains the following packs:



❓ What are (VFX) Events?

Think of the Barrier effect, for example. It has these events/effects: create, loop, hit, end and stop. In this case, you start with the 'create' event, which then automatically continues with the 'loop' event. Each time the Barrier is damaged you send the ‘hit’ event that displays the corresponding effect. When the barrier expires, send an ‘end’ event that plays the final effect and stops the ‘loop’.



✔️ Let's have a look at the details:

  • Important properties are exposed so you can change color, spawn rate, pattern texture etc. directly in the Inspector.
  • Uses HDR colors - in combination with Bloom (Post Processing Effect), you have full control over the glow amount.
  • Where appropriate, world-space is used so moving objects or characters leave trails and particles behind.
  • Has optimized meshes to reduce overdraw.
  • Utilizes custom uber effect shader made in Shader Graph for most VFX. Also uses custom shaders for Shields and Dissolve/Materialize.
  • Character VFX particles spawn directly on animated skinned mesh using a new feature in the Visual Effect Graph. Connecting your mesh is easily done in the Inspector.
  • 1k textures with few exceptions used for tiny elements like sparks, embers etc.


⚙️ Requirements

Requires Unity 2021.3 or newer with Visual Effect Graph and Shader Graph. Install those via Package Manager before installing this Pack. If you just installed them, restart the editor before installing the VFX pack.

Works in URP. Visual Effect Graph has limited compatibility with mobile devices (including WebGL platform).

If the VFX doesn't show up, it needs to be recompiled. This can be easily fixed by opening the VFX assets in UNI VFX\-Pack name-\Visual Effects. When opened in the Visual Effects Graph, the assets are forced to recompile. This should be fixed in Unity 2022.3.6 and newer.



I tried to make everything self-explanatory but some of the effects are bit more complex. If something isn't clear, the Manual in the UNI VFX folder should quickly bring you up to speed, or you can contact me directly.
