VFX
Ability, destruction and environment effects authored against a frame budget you set. Layered switchable components so intensity scales by device tier, reviewed in the real gameplay camera at phone size, and profiled on target hardware at every milestone.
VFX — sample production
- Frame budget
- 0.5-2 ms GPU per gameplay effect on target hardware
- Draw calls
- 1-3 draw calls per effect, particles batched where possible
- Particle counts
- PC 200-2,000 per effect; mobile 30-300
- Delivery formats
- Engine-native .uasset/.prefab, plus source Houdini and Maya files
What you get
- Combat VFX: impacts, muzzle flashes, ability casts, and status effect feedback
- Ambient and environmental effects: weather, dust, fire, water, and destruction
- UI and HUD motion effects built as engine widgets or material-driven sprites
- Shader and material work for stylized or photoreal surface effects
- Niagara or VFX Graph systems with exposed parameters and designer documentation
- Performance profiling reports with draw call, overdraw, and GPU millisecond budgets
- Mobile and low-spec variants with reduced particle counts and cheaper shading
