Overview
Flashbang VFX is post process material-based system that produces the first-person audiovisual impact of a stun grenade detonation.
The intensity of the effect is calculated based on line-of-sight, distance, and view angle from the explosion. It’s controlled via a series of float curves (distance, angle, afterimage intensity etc.) which makes it very easy to balance the effect to suit your project.
