    My first Unreal Challenge!
    When I heard the theme “Spellar Performance” I thought of someone saying “That was a Stellar Performance!” Eventually, this thought process led me to America’s Got Talent where a judge hits the Golden Buzzer as a way of saying that the performance was extraordinary. Instead of a buzzer though, I wondered what it’d be like if a judge waved a magic wand and a spell was cast that gave a similar effect. The name of this entry comes from America’s Got Talent when a judge hits the Golden Buzzer! “You are going straight to the live show!”

I like! I definitely need to look into how to make FX like yours where you are able to use shapes & patterns, because I want to make cool circles & signs like your star, where the inside of it will also move around.

If you have a chance to check out my submission, I’d love your thoughts! :smiley:

Thank you so much! :smiley: I really appreciate your kind words!
The star was pretty simple. It’s two star-shaped meshes stacked on top of each other with different UV unwraps. The one in the back has a UV that’s stretched on the V.
The texture for it is literally a straight horizontal line that I made in photoshop.
Both meshes use the same scrolling material to achieve the effect. Since the one in the back’s UVs are stretched, it increases the frequency of the lines!
