Yesterday I said I was working on some sort of laser beam effect, and here it is! It took me a while to figure out how to do it without using too much particles but it works perfectly, and I think it doesn’t look too bad!

The effect you see actually consists of three particle effects. First, there’s the beam itself. Two additional effects are used to create the glowing effect at the cannon and impact place. Looks pretty cool if you’re asking me! One of the next days or weeks I’ll write a tutorial on the laser beam part. The two other effects are simply variations on classic explosions.
