Blue Icon Marker VFX Effect

For this VFX Effect, I wanted to create a blue circle ground icon with a custom symbol inside of Unity. I began my process by making the materials in Photoshop, and then I switched my attention to making the symbol inside of Illustrator. After I was satisfied with how the symbol turned out, I then used Photoshop to create the alpha map channel. The creation of the symbol was a great challenge because of how many steps I took to create this for my effect. The text wrap on a path was crucial because I wanted the text to tell somewhat of a story.

I then began thinking about how this effect should transition and how to allow one particle to collide with another to summon another effect. Thank you for watching!
