Maya Viewport VFX

As an animator, when working through shots, I wanted to create rigs/accessible VFX that would allow animators to easily add additional flare to their work! All built within Maya without any external textures or files And so my Viewport VFX project came to fruition!

Below you'll see examples and links to VFX I've made. You can access the gumroad here: https://shadrakgf.gumroad.com/

Maya Viewport VFX Rig Pack

This was my first VFX project, made with the intention to cover several areas and is free for people to download! You can find it here

Kamehameha Rig

My love for Dragon Ball comes through both my animation and my vfx rigs! I've always wanted to animate a Kamehameha and so I made a rig for it! This rig can be found here

ATLA Elemental FX Rigs Pack

I started looking towards elemental based FX and was inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender so I started working towards rigs of that style! It just so happened to be the same month that AnimChallenge set their theme to be Avatar! You can find the rigs here

Magic VFX Rigs Pack

I started focusing on themes for each pack and so this time I picked magic! Working more closely with the materials and how to manipulate them with the controls! You can find the rigs here

Stylised VFX Rigs Pack

This pack focuses on stylised effects such as aura, fire, dash lines and reaction FX! This specialises in adding flare to your animations and really packing a punch! You can find the rigs here
