VFX - Magic Shield
*** Character mesh and animations are from Mixamo.com ***
While playing God of War Ragnarök, I was inspired by the shield effect of Atreus. Then I looked into it in detail such as layers, timing, textures, etc. I ended up recreating the shield effect in the Unreal Engine using the Niagara system and implementing it in an animated character.
