Today I worked on making the reentry system feel way more alive. I focused on getting the heat particles to actually interact with the objects instead of just floating around them. After a bit of experimenting with collisions, SDFs, and VFX Graph, I finally got particles reacting properly with the objects flying through the atmosphere.I also started setting up the systems needed for objects to have their own reentry effects. The goal is that every object falling from space can have its own heat trail that follows it, turns on when it hits the atmosphere, and disappears when it escapes or slows down.A big challenge was making everything follow moving objects correctly. Static effects are easy, but when you have something travelling at high speed, everything needs to stay perfectly synced. I worked on making the particle emitter follow the object and keeping the collision data aligned so the effects don’t lag behind.There is still more to improve, like making the heat intensity change based on speed and adding better visuals, but the foundation is now working. Seeing the particles actually wrap around and react to the objects makes the whole reentry experience feel much more realistic.
