For this VFX effect, it was to create a twister shield inside of Unity. Using Photoshop, I was able to construct the primary materials that went into this effect. I then began to think about how this effect would transition, especially when it came to getting the effect to spiral upwards.

 

After messing with the particle effect parameters, I was able to get the spinning effect like a twister. I also added an animation component on the smaller tornadoes to allow them to spiral around the player and on the outer circle that emits upwards until it gets smaller and vanishes. Below are the material used in the making of this effect.
