Description
A simple collection of sci-fi environmental effects originally created for the FRONTIER Transit shuttle animation.
While working on the landing and flight animation for FRONTIER Transit, I created these effects to enhance the feeling of a large spacecraft interacting with the environment. I was happy with the results, so I decided to package them and share them with the community for free.

Included Effects
Ground Dust
A dynamic ground dust effect designed for:
VTOL spacecraft takeoff
Landing sequences
Low-altitude flight
Ground proximity effects
Sci-fi vehicle movement
Engine Vapor Trail
A white vapor-style trail effect designed for the rear of spacecraft engines. It is inspired by the visual appearance of aircraft condensation trails and can be used to add a sense of speed, altitude, and atmospheric interaction to futuristic aircraft and spacecraft.
User Parameters
The dust effect includes several exposed parameters for quick customization:
DustColor — Dust color
DustDensity — Overall dust density
DustSpeedMax — Maximum dust movement speed
DustSpeedMin — Minimum dust movement speed
DustVector — Dust movement direction
These parameters allow you to quickly adjust the effect to fit different environments, vehicle sizes, and movement directions.
This is a relatively simple effect created specifically for my own animation work, but I thought it worked quite well, so I'm sharing it for free.
I hope it can be useful for your own games, cinematics, sci-fi scenes, or other real-time projects.
