Vision for the project:
I had been asked to collaborate with a friend on a commission, he would manage the code and I would manage the design. The game was a box PVP which is a minigame inside of Fortnite, where players fight inside of a cube, and the last one alive wins that round. The twist for this game was that there were natural disasters that occured each round. Obviously we wanted there to be visual feedback for each of these events, so I ended up creating some VFX for each of these. Some events for the game were: Tsunami, Tornado, Icey feet, rising lava, and acid rain.
Achievements
I was only brought onto the project towards the end, as everyone realised that some visual feedback was needed for these natural disasters. I managed to create and implement my work within a really short amount of time, and still meet the original deadline that the clients had set, whilst making each of these effects look really good.
Favourite part
My favourite part of this project was making the tsunami. I found the waves material to be a great way to extend my knowledge of the material editor, and I think that the material itself looks great.
Challenges I faced
A challenge that I faced for this project was my time management. I didn't have long to make each of the effects, however they still needed to look good. I learnt a lot about how to manage myself and my time during this project.
Results
I had created a visually pleasing design for each of the natural disasters that occur during the games runtime, while equally not delaying the projects original deadline.
