For this VFX effect, I wanted to create a cross health object that the player can collide with inside of Unity. The inspiration was from the game called Goddesses Primal Chaos. I began the process by making the materials inside of Photoshop, and the central 3D Cross inside of Maya. Once I was satisfied with how the cross looked, it was time to begin importing it as an FBX file into Unity.

 

Using the reference from Primal Chaos as a guide, I was able to construct the animation and glowing lines onto the effect. I then added more interest to make it different and appealing for the player. Below are the materials, images, and codes used for this effect.
