UE5 VFX- Pie Bomb

My first personal project after the busy Summer at Riot, I wanted to take this opportunity to unwind with a silly, yet still physical effect. I've never done a goofy effect before, so it was a nice change of pace and taught me a good deal. I settled on berries and jam to study their material qualities, then switched the jam jar to a fresh pie for clearer projectile trajectory. I heavily referenced Hearthstone VFX and had the great joy to be given feedback from Alex Cortez. You should definitely check out his work and GDC talk!
