Pick your effect

One editor, different starting points.

01

Fire VFX generator

Create a procedural fire effect in your browser. Attach flames to a 3D model, generate a transparent PNG flipbook, and export a Unity Built-in package.

Explore workflow ↗02

Smoke effect generator

Make procedural smoke for game exhausts and atmosphere. Preview it on a 3D model, generate a transparent PNG sprite sheet, and export to Unity Built-in.

Explore workflow ↗03

Spark effect generator

Create procedural sparks and embers in a browser particle editor. Adjust motion and lifetime, generate PNG flipbooks, and export a Unity Built-in effect.

Explore workflow ↗04

Particle sprite sheet generator

Generate transparent fire, smoke and spark sprite sheets in your browser. Export a 4×4 PNG flipbook for 2D games or a Unity Built-in Baked Visual prefab.

Explore workflow ↗05

Export VFX from browser to Unity

Export 2VFX effects as Unity Built-in UPM packages. Learn the native ParticleSystem and baked flipbook options, model requirements and prefab import workflow.

Choose a learning path

Start with transparent flipbooks if you need an image asset. Read Native versus Baked first if engine-side control matters. Diagnose model-import and transparency problems separately so particle settings do not hide the underlying issue.

Learn the export workflow

Practical guides, honest limits and testable examples.

GUIDE

Use a transparent VFX flipbook in Unity

A practical workflow for a transparent VFX flipbook: calculate frame timing, preserve alpha, configure Unity Texture Sheet Animation and check the result.

GUIDE

Make a readable fire particle effect for Unity

Build a readable fire effect with a simple parameter experiment. Separate Duration from Lifetime, tune the silhouette and verify a browser-to-Unity export.

GUIDE

Smoke and sparks: lifetime is not drag

Understand why lifetime, drag and a velocity limit solve different VFX problems. Use a controlled smoke-and-sparks experiment before exporting to Unity.

GUIDE

GLB, FBX or OBJ for a browser VFX workflow?

Choose a model format for a browser VFX workflow. Compare GLB, FBX and OBJ, check textures and scale, and understand why Unity import is a separate step.

GUIDE

Native or baked VFX: choose what to preserve

Compare editable ParticleSystem exports with flipbook-driven effects. Learn what native and baked preserve, and how to test timing, alpha and visual parity.

GUIDE

Why transparent particles get dark edges

Diagnose dark borders on smoke and fire textures. Understand straight and premultiplied alpha, blend factors, transparent render targets and filtering.

Try it on your own effect

Keep the .2vfx source and evaluate the result inside your target Unity project.
