Crowfall VFX - Environment

A collection of my favorite environment effects I made for Crowfall, a PVP oriented MMO on PC. All done in Unity.

Added crows to Crowfall!

Fire shader and particles

Wanted a better way to transition building stages. Animated scaffolding and added particles.

Abzu inspired fish. No rigs, all animated with a shader.

Lava shader with vertex offset

Shaders and particles for spirit horse mount

Performance was just a big concern early on, that water was cut from the game. I created a water shader one weekend that only cost 1 draw call. Unlit shader, fake transparency, caustics, fake reflection. Water was added back to the game!

Animated decal

Crows set up similarly to the fish - no rigs. Animated with a shader.

Nightmare horse shaders and particles.

Weather effects
