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.

 

I then began thinking about how this effect should transition and how to allow one particle to collide with another to summon another effect. Below are the materials and codes used for this effect.
