2D fx from Unity to After Effects

[Jah_far]

Hello!
I wanna create 2D fx for character lvl up. Can I do it using Unity particle system and then render on alpha channel to be used in AE composition?
Or should I create fx straight in AE?
If it can be done in Unity, please, tell me how.
Thank you!

Unity doesn’t have an alpha channel for screen capture or rending out facilities. This is a great disappointment, to me.

If you’re using additive particles, this won’t matter… too much. You’ll just need to increase the opacity before capturing to get near the same impact.

Otherwise, you’re better off making your particle effects for sequenced images in another app with a more powerful particle system, and rendering out your image sequence from it.

If you don’t yet know AE particles, I recommend learning the particle system in Cinema 4D, as it’s 10x more powerful and fun, and then compositing it in AE.

Thank you for advice. Is it possible to make indie game style fx’s in c4d?
