Visual effect graph & shader graph Comet simulation for URP with rotating and orbit movement control
Render pipeline compatibility
The Built-in Render Pipeline is Unity’s default render pipeline. It is a general-purpose render pipeline that has limited options for customization. The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that is quick and easy to customize, and lets you create optimized graphics across a wide range of platforms. The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that lets you create cutting-edge, high-fidelity graphics on high-end platforms.

Description

The Comet Visual Effects Package is a comprehensive suite of assets designed for Unity developers looking to add realistic comet simulations to their projects. This package is perfect for space-themed games, simulations, or any project requiring celestial visuals. With fully customizable components, developers can tailor each asset to fit their specific needs, making it a versatile addition to a wide range of genres.

Contents

1. Comet Tail Visual Effect Graph (VFX)

  • Description: This component utilizes Unity's Visual Effect Graph to create a lifelike comet tail simulation. It incorporates four distinct particle systems to enhance realism, covering the full spectrum of visual effects associated with comet tails.
  • Customization: All primary parameters within the VFX graph are adjustable, allowing developers to modify the appearance and behavior of the comet tail to match their vision.

2. Comet Core Shader and Material

  • Description: A specialized shader randomizes the geometry of the comet's core, ensuring each comet appears unique. The package also includes high-quality 1024x1024 diffusion and normal maps to complement the shader, providing detailed surface textures.
  • Customization: Users have full control over the shader's parameters, enabling adjustments to the core's appearance, from its overall shape to the intricacies of its surface.

3. Orbital and Local Rotation Script

  • Description: This script facilitates both orbital movement around a designated object (e.g., a star) and local rotation, simulating the natural rotation of a comet as it traverses its path.
  • Customization: The script's variables are fully customizable, offering developers the ability to specify orbital paths, rotation speeds, and orientations to fit their project's requirements.

4. Skybox Material, Shader, and Texture

  • Description: Completing the celestial package is a skybox material and shader, accompanied by an optimized 1024x1024 DDS texture for each side of the cube. This asset creates a stunning backdrop, setting the perfect scene for the comet and enhancing the overall immersion.
  • Customization: The skybox components are designed for flexibility, allowing for adjustments in color, brightness, and texture to achieve the desired cosmic atmosphere.

Suitability and Customization

This package is ideally suited for developers working on space-themed games, educational simulations, or any project aiming to incorporate stunning celestial visuals. The high level of customization available ensures that each component can be tailored to match the specific aesthetic and functional requirements of a wide variety of genres.

Conclusion

With its combination of high-quality visual effects, customizable shaders, dynamic scripts, and space skybox textures, the Comet Visual Effects Package offers everything developers need to bring the awe-inspiring beauty of comets to life in their Unity projects. Whether you're creating a space exploration game, a simulation of the solar system, or simply looking to enhance your project with celestial visuals, this package provides the tools and flexibility to achieve your creative vision.


Don't forget to give a five-star rating if you like it. I'll be very happy if you leave a review.
