Using the Mansion of Wonder sample as a guide, this tutorial acts as an introduction to creating special effects (VFX) in Roblox Studio using particle emitters. As you follow each chapter, you will learn how to create a laser blast and explosion that players can use as they defeat sinister slimes and ghastly ghosts in a spooky carnival game.
This lesson is intended for readers who are brand new to creating VFX art and working in Studio. If you are familiar with both, try another beginner lesson plan or jump straight to building your first game.
