Hey everyone Joe here. I wanted to start a thread with all my VFX wip's on the site but let me tell you a bit about myself first. I graduated from Full Sail University back in Oct. 2010 with an emphasis in VFX. Not long after I worked at EA Tiburon in a contract position doing effects for their football titles including Madden 12, NCAA Football12, NFL Blitz as well as PGA Tour 13. I then moved to Austin Texas where I currently reside. I got a contract position earlier this year at Junction Point to help finish off the effects for Epic Mickey 2. I am now currently looking for work but enough about me, onto the VFX!
The first effect I want to show you is a Scifi Shield in UDK I have been working on for a while now. You can view it
here. I might change up the horizontal blue lines that run the length of the shield to something else so it's not covering the whole face of the shield. Let me know what everyone thinks or if there are any questions about it.

The shield is looking great! Might be cool to see a ripple effect on the scan-lines on impact.
Thanks! There is a ripple effect on it that's distorting the lines. Watch in HD if you didn't by chance.
The first image is the first part of the attack that blasts outward. There are ice chunks that shoot from the center. There is also an ice impact on the ground and a quick dry ice looking flash to help show the impact of the effect.

The second image is the second part of the attack where ice spikes shoot out of the ground. Smaller ice chunks come out as well, just for looks, and there is also a dry ice effect coming off the spikes. The ice impact on the ground will melt away from the outside inward and the ice spikes will shrink appearing to melt away.
If anyone has any feedback or questions let me know!
