Projectile Effects Suite

Let all kinds of projectiles fly through your scene - such as bullets, rockets, arrows, lasers and more. They will hit the target and spawn a particle system and a decal at the point of impact. In addition, a muzzle flash can be spawned. Everything happens automatically at the touch of a button!

But wait! That's not all! 

MULTIPLE EFFECTS:

Several effects are triggered with a single press of a button!

ALL IN REALTIME:

Projectiles, muzzleflash, decals and lots of particles - all of it is simulated in realtime!

HOMING PROJECTILES:

Let your projectiles fly to / follow any object!

WOBBLE ANIMATION:

If you're dealing with projectiles that get stuck in their targets, add a wobble animation to make it much more realistic!

SETTINGS:

Lots of organized settings for easy control!

Made with Blender 4.1

Limitations:

• Hit decals only work with static objects. They do not move with the hit object.
• Hit decals work best with Eevee because Cycles makes the decals cast a shadow. The only way to prevent the decals from casting a shadow is to disable shadows for the entire projectile FX object.
• Depending on how you use the system, motion blur in Cycles won't work as intended. That's because motion blur in Cycles works by comparing the indices of the meshes. However, the indices of this system are getting (re)generated at runtime if the amount of vertices in the system change. This happens e.g. when a projectile gets deleted.
