To showcase some of the features that were added in UE5.5, I've created a custom tool, fully in blueprints, that mimics the District Painting tool in Cities: Skylines.

For this #VFXFriday I'd like to share my latest project, "Tidal Ascendance", inspired by the Shaman class in World of Warcraft. Made for the @vfxapprentice.bsky.social Portfolio Bootcamp, led by Kees Klop (SmearKees).

The last one, for now, is this Crystal Scythe technique I made based on a concept I've made that's heavily inspired by TemTem, as my mentor is Kees Klop for this bootcamp.

Looking forward to sharing more later!

Next on the line I made this exploding crystal sphere. The main challenge I set myself was creating it all in a single Niagara system, including all animated assets. I had a lot less time for this one, but I'm still proud of it!

I'm going to start this sequence of posts of recent FX I've made during the VFXA Portfolio Bootcamp with the first assignment; a waterfall. There are some things I'd change if I would redo it, but overall, I'm very happy with the result!
