This was honestly a pretty fun experiment. I ran Paula on our used thinkpad that cost like 100 bucks and it works GREAT. Not even using the low end mobile renderer!

I should specify, the VFX I did is the Dive Bounce. I used the Magic Ground Impact template as a base, and split it out into multiple assets.

I've been trying out JangaFX's IlluGen to make VFX for Paula. Honestly even though the tool still seems to be pretty early, holy shit, it is so fun to make assets with it.
