How to create 3D Effects of attacks and other things in Unity?

Question

JavaScript

Hello, while studying game development, I got to the point where it was necessary to design attacks for characters in the game well and beautifully. I learned that there are 3D effects, the so-called Particle System in Unity3D. I did not find high-level lessons, but I found the kind of what I would like to achieve in the end.
Here is the video:

The essence of the question is, what means are used to achieve such effects, do you need third-party software or can you do everything in Unity, if you know what knowledge is needed to create such effects effects or English / Russian resources where there is information about how such masterpieces are created, then please also write about it.
Thank you very much in advance.

Answer 1

All effects are done in the unit, in especially advanced cases they can use specialized software, but this is rare. There are plenty of tutorials on the Particle System, you can start with the official one, dedicated purely to effects, or you can take any general tutorial on creating a game , there are also effects there. In addition, you can download Standard Assets and see how everything is done there. As for how to make the effects beautiful, for this you need an art education, there are no ready-made recipes.

Answer 2

An FX specialist is a separate position and a separate direction. That's how to immediately convey all the knowledge - unreal.
Start with ParitcleSystem, download a few ready-made assets from the asset store and understand their structure. Then you can look towards shaders for effects.
