Скачать или смотреть Star Citizen VFX - Idris Deathmask Raw Cut

This version of the video shows Idris Deathmask from few different points of view. It's a raw, unedited footage straight from the game.

Sometimes in 2017 I was tasked to make Idris Deathmask effect for 2017 Citizencon. It was the first effect which we were going to show that was utilising the new GPU Particle System created specifically for Star Citizen.

Last year (2020) it was the time to release Idris to the PU as an AI ship which can be destroyed. I had an opportunity to go back to the effect and polish it further. This is when I've added the final blast of energy in a form of a column/stream of plasma - the staple element of the sequence.

I think it was a very successful project - I've seen loads of videos recorded by players on twitter, youtube and twitch of this one explosion effect. That makes me happy!

VFX team at CIG is large and while I've made the effect I used a lot of assets created by our talented team. I couldn't have done it without their valuable feedback and support. And let's not forget the Graphics team and their genius vehicle shader damage system that creates those scorch marks on the surface of ships.
