Gods Of War Sprint 5

    For this past sprint, I worked on polishing my three FX. For the water, I worked on making the materials look more water-like, and I changed the path of the water to go around the sword instead of Susanoo. For the lightning, I added some more tertiary detail and stronger embers. Because the pose changed, I also altered the hand lightning FX to match it. For the fire, I added a lot more embers and desaturated the fire a bit so it didn't look like a funhouse effect.

Gods of War Sprint 4

For this sprint I worked on the water and lightning VFX. For the water, I combined a static mesh with a niagara system to give it a semi-animated look. I will be refining the shape of the slash for next sprint. For the lightning, I have a first pass of the lightning branches coming off the lightning. The issue is that they are not totally attached yet to the beam so I am still figuring out solutions for that. I also randomized each section of the beam so they're not all identical in width, speed, or jitter.
