The VFX Artist's Guide to Area of Effect - What is AOE? The Area of Effect refers to an ability or spell that can affect multiple targets within a specific designated area. Let's learn how to create AOE VFX in games!

Having a clear, well-defined shape creates an instantly recognizable effect. It's important for AoE to be clearly readable. The line between a hit and a miss is very thin.
πŸ’₯ Check out our FX Artist's Guide to AoE to learn more: www.vfxapprentice.com/blog/area-of...

Daryna Masiahina VFX Artist

🎨 When Daryna just started working on this fanart, she set a challenge to explore as many colors as possible. This resulted in a vibrant, sophisticated effect and was a fun process to engage in! You can check out her work on ArtStation: www.artstation.com/masiahina

✏️ Save the original sketch and get back to it while polishing your effect: keeping the initial pizzazz can make or break your final piece.

Color Theory for Visual Effects | VFX Courses Color is a big part of VFX design! Get acquainted with the different aspects of it with David Shovlin in this beginner series.

❓Do your FX read against a light blue sky AND in a dark dungeon? Can players make out the tip of projectiles vs the sparkles you added?
