Hi
I’m looking for some leveling up effect similar to what WoW does… the lighting rotating thing around you.
I have no idea how to begin. Anyone got something similar working? I thought it particles but that’s a bit overkill for a mobile device.
Can u post a screenshot?
Often a mix of animated meshes with applied textures (using alpha) and particle emitters are used to create such effects. Takes a skilled artist with a bit of animation skills to achieve something good looking.
Better yet, check this youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kQH9TL5P5Y
For second 40 onward… the character is walking while leveling up every few seconds. That light effect or similar is what I want to achieve, but I find no way to do it fast on iphone. Doesn’t have to be exact, but something similar would be nice. The light tornado on top for instance, it’s a cool thing.
It’s just a particle effect. Unity’s built-in particle system is more than capable of it.
