Devlog #42 - Magical Fire Effect
Hey everyone! Today, we're excited to share our progress on creating a magical fire effect for our phoenix. In many movies and games, “magical fire” refers to a fire with supernatural or enchanted properties. Unlike ordinary fire, magical fire might exhibit unusual colors, produce no heat, or possess unique abilities such as creating illusions or serving as a portal to another realm.
For our project, we aimed to capture the essence of the phoenix's lore, where it emerges majestically from the ashes of its predecessor. Using the Unity Particle System and a custom phoenix mesh, we set out to craft an effect that not only looks visually stunning but also embodies the mystical rebirth of the phoenix. Here's how we did it!
We used the Unity Particle System to achieve the effect. To simulate the fire-like effect, we adjusted various properties of the particle system, including Emission, Size over Lifetime, Color over Lifetime, Simulation Speed, Gravity Modifier, and more.
To form the shape of the phoenix, we created a phoenix mesh in Maya and applied it to the Renderer property of the Particle System. After tweaking the values for each component, we produced this stunning magical fire effect.

This effect adds a layer of enchantment and depth to our project, and we can't wait for you all to experience it in the game. As always, we appreciate your support and feedback. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to develop and enhance our game!
