1. INTRODUCTION
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use the effects, simply find a way to instantiate them, or drag & drop them into the scene.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The effects will automatically start playing when the scene is running.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
2. CUSTOMIZING CONFETTI SHAPES
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The effects uses a 4x4 spritesheet with 16 different confetti shapes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Which shape is picked is set in the Texture Sheet Animation settings of the parent particle system.
|
||
|
|
Here you can select which 'Row' of the texture sheet you want to use, and which of the frames you want to use in 'Frame over Time'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For a lot of the effects, these shapes will be picked at random between two constants, but you can also change this to use a single Constant frame.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
3. CUSTOMIZING CONFETTI COLORS
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Which colors the confetti, sparkles, shockwave and sparks are using, are all set in the Start Color at the top of the particle system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Several effects also use Color over Lifetime to fade them out near the end of their lifetime.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
4. CUSTOMIZING EMISSION & GLOWYNESS
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to view the effects of emission, make sure that you find a post processing solution that supports Bloom.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For some versions of Unity, you can find a Post-Processing Stack on the Unity Asset Store, or in later versions, a Post-Processing solution should be available in the Package Manager.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you wish to change the glow for the Magic Confetti effects, locate the 'confetti4x4_magic' material in the Materials folder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can see here that the Albedo is reduced from 1.0 to 0.7, this will slightly reduce the visibility of the color taken from the Particle System settings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Emission in the same material is also set to 0.7, which will add a slight white glow, making it seem like the color is a bit washed out.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to have a much colorful glow, you could set Albedo to 1.4 and either reduce or turn off Emission completely.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
5. SCALING EFFECTS
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To scale an effect in the scene, simply use the default Scaling tool (Hotkey 'R'). You can also select the effect and type in the Scale in Transform manually.
