FPS Muzzle Flash VFX kit

General description:

A muzzle flash pack to cover all your basic shooter needs, suitable for any game going for realism with a variety of ballistic weapons. Each gun category has one particle system intended for first person view and one intended for third person view (in other words, a version that looks consistent from all view angles).

This pack contains muzzle flash effects designed for assault rifles, shotguns, sub machine guns, designated marksman rifles (or DRM), sniper rifles and a couple of effects for suppressed assault rifles and pistols. On top of that I've included a couple of bullet tracer systems, one generic and one for buckshot (unusual as far as I know but hey, it looks cool).

Then there's also a casing ejection system, with what you'd expect; a bit of smoke and flying casings with collision that de-spawn after a small amount of time. I've kept it separate from the muzzle systems so it's easier to implement per weapon to account for different ejection port positions between guns.

All muzzle flashes aside from the suppressed ones emit light.

Controls & customizability:

All systems have exposed parameters for you to make general adjustments to colors, speed, sizes and lifetimes.

All materials and instances include controls for depth fade (for reducing clipping if effects intersect with geometry) and distortion in case you want even more variability in how the effects look at the cost of a tiny bit of performance.

Support

None of the effects require any third party software to function but should any issues arise, be sure to contact me by email.

If there's a demand for UE4 support then I will remake the particle systems in that in that version and make them available as well.

All assets were made by me and this pack contains no copyrighted material.

The guns in the preview images and video are not included in this pack.
