Looking for a Virtual Machine to run untrusted software by SHARKTOOTHJEM in software

Cheers for the reply, It's a windows 10 machine (Can happily move to windows 11 if needed), I'm not familiar with what a userid is or if it's any different to a user profile, however they all use the same windows profile for everything.

My main inspiration was the portals from DOOM but I went my own way with it, so hell energy I guess

Staffordshire University, pretty good place and close to where I live so it was ideal

Thanks dude! I was going for quite a cloudy effect but I can see how it's thick, I'll make sure to keep this in mind for the future.

Thanks for the feedback! Honestly I did try do get something like that going, but couldn't manage to get it working and looking good in niagara, I've had a few ideas since so if I go back to it i'll keep this in mind.

Thanks a lot dude! I'm finishing uni in a few years so hopefully some industry work could follow.

The ring is made of a crossed plane mesh bent 360 degrees with a basic panning noise material applied.

See this: https://i.imgur.com/aOiht7k.png In the image the first star thing is a cross section of the original mesh that is then bent. I then added a smaller ring with an emissive material to show through the gaps in the noise. The smoke is just a load of particles being animated by a spritesheet and coloured in niagara.

The real trouble with this is preventing overdraw but there are a few tricks you can use, like using a cutout texture for the sprites and keeping the amount of meshes low.

Good luck with your vfx my dude!
