Looking for Tutorial/Course InGame Effects

[gombos.jozsef]

Hey guys. Can someone point me to a good course or tutorial about creating Game effects in Maya? Like spell caster hands burning while casting magic or sword slash effect, fireball , projectile magic and so on. I does not have to be free or anything I gladly pay for it to learn it just can't seem to find any.

Something similar to these effects https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUu2WNcJbtE

Thank you in advance.

Hi @gombos.jozsef and welcome to the community!

Most effects like this aren't actually created in Maya. A lot of them are made with a combination of photoshop, after effects and then the game engine itself.

This tutorial for example covers a basic spell with a trail effect and you'll see its pretty much done only in Unity

Hope this helps!
