Help with VFX, Or at the least naming the VFX. Thanks ia
Happy 4th to my fellow Americans.
So, Im trying to do an effect but theres only 2 ways I can describe it.
For anyone whos seen Predator, The laser Optical, Im calling it an optical because it works like how we use red lasers on guns, but the Predator Laser is animated.
If I was to imagine doing this in UE, It would be like having a Glowing decal thats animated with a flipbook, that has high volumetric Light Scattering.
Another way whitch just came to mind, Imagine the Bat Signal, but the entire Cone of the spotlight takes on the shape of the Bat Logo.
I thought I could do this with a light function, or particles emitting from the decals textures Masked, but I think I would waste hours, SO I figured Id ask in case someone has done this before, or knows what I can call the VFX so I can find a tutorial or get AI to help with the basics..
The idea, I want to use this as Next Location to go to kinda thing if you pickup what im putting down.
Thanks.
