🧱 Includes 6 Tornado 3D Meshes
Comes with six uniquely shaped tornado models designed to work perfectly with the Lite shader shader.
- Mix and match models, materials, and settings for unique looks
- This hybrid mesh-shader approach reduces GPU load by letting the mesh define the silhouette — freeing performance for other effects!
💡 Perfect For:
Magic spells, elemental attacks, weather effects, stylized portals, and energy beams!
🎵 Music is not included to keep the file size minimal and allow creators to choose audio that best suits their scene. This also helps keep Neko Legends - 3D & VFX Starter Bundle size low due to the 6GB limit.
📦 Dependencies
To experience this asset as intended as shown in the video and web demos, you’ll need the following assets from the Neko Legends collection:
- Contains core demo GUI, reusable scripts, and shared 3D models and textures across all Neko Legends assets.
✅ [Anime Cel Shader]
- Which powers the core look of the entire scene, comes with Metals and Glass addons.
- 🔥 Note: The **Tornado shader itself does not require these dependencies — it is fully standalone. However, the included demo materials are styled to match those pipelines, which will appear pink on scene launch if you do not have my Anime Cel Shader.
