    Xffect is a completely independent effect editor for unity3d. It aims at providing an high performance and easy effect solution inside unity. with a various way to change each node's scale, rotation, color, uv, velocity and face direction, you can create amazing game effects!

    Why Xffect Editor?
    The unity's build-in particle system is great to create some simulation effect, like smoke, steam and other atmospheric effects, but it's not a good solution to create game effects, like magic, lightning, power explode and so on. because these effects are more simpler: just a bunch of sprites or other render types, and the build-in particle system can't manage each node as a sprite, for example, it can't change the X and Y size separate. So I create the "Xffect Editor" , it's kind of a particle system, but more simpler and more appropriate to create game effect.

    features:
    • Full Inspector integration.
    • Provide 8 awesome game effects.
    • All C# source code include, with no dll or external resource.
    • Make each effect that take 1 draw call.
    • Provide a heat distortion shader for unity pro.
    • Keep Updating.

    Thanks for your attention, I'm considering reduce the prize or even make it free since my english is not good enough to write the document and tutorial.

    Wow.. Great, great work, I'm sure to pick this up!

    Two questions / suggestions:

    Does the editor come with example scenes? That would go a long way towards making people understand, without writing an extensive english tutorial..

    Second: Could you upload the tutorial video to Youtube? Youku.com hardly loads here in Europe, plus the quality is a little bit too low for me to really get a good view of what you're doing..


    I think if you fix those 2 things, documentation wouldn't be necessary :)

    Wow, its great that you offer this for free! Since you made it free, might as well make it an open source project. So multiple people can work on the code.
