Note: I do not work for Blizzard.

I created a beam effect inspired by the Protoss race in Star Craft 2. It was quite a challenge trying to reference their color scheme and hot electric style but I feel like I managed to pay homage to Protoss while adding my own take to it. There was a lot more I could do in terms of impact decal and such but I wanted to create an effect within a certain time limit to see how far I go with the time constraint. I used Photoshop, After Effects, Maya, Max, and Unreal 4 to create this effect.

Eventually, I want to learn how to hand paint my FX textures from scratch, and limit my use of UV distortion, knowing that they don't really use and UV distortion.
