3D Lightning Effects

Pro packv3.0.0-43D3D VFX

Twelve electric effects for 3D games: strikes, chain lightning, arcs, a tesla coil, ball lightning, a charged aura and a distant storm. Everything is additive and unlit, so it glows on any scene and overlapping light builds to white.

This is a Pro pack. Upgrade to Phaser Pro to use it in your games.See Phaser Pro →

3D Lightning Effects: a screenshot of its demo
A note about these graphics

Expansion packs don't come with graphics. This screenshot is one way of drawing what the pack does, made for its demo: none of the sprites, tiles or backgrounds in it are in the pack.

That's by design. A pack is a game's logic, mechanics and effects, and it works with whatever art you give it. Some packs draw effects, backdrops or 3D scenes of their own, but none carries a game's sprites.

So the look is yours. Make the art on phaser.io, bring your own, or let your agent draw it in code: the same pack can look like anything.
