I started my career as 3D Artist but quickly started doing VFX for the projects as secondary job. I had no idea what I was doing and the VFX Editor was VERY limited in Sacred 2. But with the help of flipbooks it was possible to make some nice things. My ability to create MaxScripts came in handy as well. Our main VFX artist left at the end of the production and I started playing around with the editor without anyone asking me to do so. I was just curious and attracted to this field of work.
This was one of my first big tech art tasks.
Destructible Crystals for the Addon of Sacred 2
The effect is very simple but I still like it to this day. Feels very satisfying to defeat this enemy. :)
