to the dawn of another year - 1 day VFX

Happy new year! Got an idea for a 1 day VFX as a fun challenge. The sparkler uses 1 dynamic material and 1 niagara system. The ocean is all material tricks salvaged by depth of field. Hope you like it!

Hi @woufh welcome back! I really love how the waves are hitting the beach as the song plays in the background, as the sparkler slowly burns down. It’s brief, but it feels very emotional. Great job and Happy New Year!

Hello @woufh ! A Happy New Year to you as you return to us here on the forums!

While this was a small showcase of your VFX, I think it was very sweet. If I may ask, how did you keep the light on the sparkler moving and reflecting smoothly? When I’ve tried in the past, it always jitters slightly.
