Beam vfx with spatial sounds!
I made it so you can easily add different audio to the start, middle and end of the beams, and of course @rohhsa made so many different sounds it's fun to try them out.

When I was a kid, I always wanted to work doing VFX for movies. Instead, my career was one step removed from that: I made software tools for VFX artists, including writing a big chunk of what is now one of the most widely used packages in the industry.
So now, every time I see a film with great VFX, I have the satisfaction of knowing that somewhere in the world an artist has cursed my name, even if they don’t know who I am.

Been working with @rohhsa on some sound effects for my Godot Beam VFX! She's done such great work to make them fit well.
I'll be updating the effect soon to make it easy to swap sounds.

Before I was just doing whatever came to mind, but now I'm trying to study existing vfx and trying to break them down to see what works and what doesn't and it's really fun!
Here's some more impacts
