We are glad to announce amazing asset: Storytelling Splash Effect
Storytelling splash effect is advanced solution for effective presenting content and adding transitions. Typical transition effects usually are not so attractive for players and they limit animator ideas but with SSE you can do more.
Create stunning previews of your art and content!
Features:
-creating transition effects based on dissolve textures
-control for animator over fade-in/out and loop curves to make more stylish appear effects
-multiple sources of appearing image parts from single object
-control over position, size, rotation of every transition
-additional noises and smoothings to make effect fit your game style
Perfect for:
-storytelling
-highlighting
-credits
-concept art preview
-presenting new content
-film-like appear effects
@Teila we are planning to release video tutorial to show how easy and quick is SSE setup (EDIT: now we have only pdf documentation) but probably till new features come there will be no more samples like above.
Whole workflow is quite simple, you chose sprite + dissolve texture which will be your “splash” (there are some example textures, which use you could find in video), set parameters of multiple splashes like position/size/rotation/more. Note that splash pivots can be set in various places so you can easily get good effects like on above video.
@Teila what made you think there’s only 1 splash effect? The same with missing documentation? Both things are not true There is full documentation (check out package content on asset store, the name is “documentation.pdf”). When I wrote about tutorial I meant only video version, which is not obligatory, the written version is already in the package.
Before I buy something, I like to know what can be done with it and I look for more information. The documentation is only available after purchase? If not, can you tell me where I can find it? The video on the asset store shows lovely transitions but not each feature so that I can see exactly what is available. So…how do I know what the individual effects are unless someone shows me? What I see is splash effect on every frame. What else is included?
That is what I meant. A video with more info would be great, maybe not obligatory for the store, but still, a great way to attract customers.
I will wait and see what other features are added and shown in a video. These are visual effects and the only way to really know if they would work for what I want is to see them, individually. Would be nice if you would add text to each transition and effect that told us what we are seeing in the video.
I am not being critical so no need to be defensive. It is a very cool idea and will look forward to seeing what you do with it in the future. Some of us picky people can be your best customers in the future.
Release 1.04 is out!
Whats there:
-increased example progress patterns (of splashes/dissolves) to 12
-fixed minor issues
-added more control over effects
Part of you asked for more example noise textures to make even better effects.
So the 1.05 version is here and 6 example noises too + some minor fixes.
Here are examples how you can change look of effect with just different noises (without touching splash pattern etc.):
Hey @MagicPigGames it should work with World Space Canvas (tested few minutes ago, even on perspective camera):
If you find any problems (should work instantly) just let us know on support mail and our team will help you.
Hi @Imperatoss ,
for now it’s not available on asset store (will be soon). But if you send to our support mail request (with invoice number) we can resend you changed files which have this functionality
As probably Imperatoss noticed:
yesterday Unity accepted Stortytelling Splash Effect in version 1.1 with support of Unity’s GUI Mask Component, so since now SSE can be used as a mask for other UI Images.
@tms_dev great to hear that you like it
For now tutorial is not planned in incoming month but if you send to our support mail your invoice nr with request we can resend you nearly the same scene which was used in example video (just without images) so you can copy-paste techniques used there.
There is full documentation (check out package content on asset store, the name is “documentation.pdf”). When I wrote about tutorial I meant only video version, which is not obligatory, the written version is already in the package.
It is a very cool idea and will look forward to seeing what you do with it in the future. Some of us picky people can be your best customers in the future.
