VFX
VFX in games means real-time effects: explosions, magic, weather and impact feedback, built to run inside a frame budget.
An effect in a game has two jobs. It has to look right, and it has to tell the player something — that a hit landed, that an ability is charging, that a surface is about to give way. Both have to happen in a few frames and in a cost the frame can carry.
The work combines particle systems, shaders, simulation and authored textures, built in Niagara, the Unity VFX graph or an in-house system, with Houdini for simulation and flipbooks.
Timing is shared with combat and gameplay design, cost with technical art and rendering. Real-time VFX is a different craft from offline effects for trailers: there the frame can take as long as it needs, here it cannot. What a portfolio is judged on is readability under pressure, not the single most spectacular explosion in it.
