Inspiration

This skill combines two references:


• Wuchen’s V-ultimate from NARAKA: BLADEPOINT—place a “Qi Eye” marker, then press V again to teleport back to it.


 • Hwei from League of Legends—mark an area that roots and deals magic damage to enemies who enter.

Reference

I refined the VFX and timing for clearer readability and natural flow. The character merges Hwei-like aesthetics with traditional Chinese cultural and religious elements, and the VFX is inspired by Taiji and classic Chinese patterns.

Summary

This project showcases a combined pipeline of 3D character modeling, animation, and visual effects, with the final results presented in the Unity engine. The goal is to demonstrate a complete skill-casting sequence of a 3D character—from modeling to animation and VFX—fully integrated in real-time.The character’s art style and skill design incorporate traditional Chinese cultural elements, aiming to deliver a unique and refreshing experience through ink-wash-inspired visual effects that highlight the essence of Chinese aesthetics.

Skill Effect Description

The character wields their brush staff to draw a circle around themselves, establishing the range of a teleportation array (Tai Chi) and altering the surrounding environment.

Skill Effect Description

The character swings the brush-staff and launches a marking light orb forward. When it reaches the target location, the orb transforms into a teleportation sigil, instantly transporting the player from their original position to the marked point. The surrounding environment is also visually altered, forming a newly manifested magical array.
