VFX Mesh Generator Pro for Unity

VFX Mesh Generator Pro is a Unity Editor tool designed to quickly create and edit meshes for real-time game visual effects.

It helps VFX artists generate common effect meshes such as slashes, rings, trails, beams, domes, ribbons, and helix shapes directly inside Unity.

Performance Notes

High segment values can create heavy meshes and may reduce Unity Editor performance.

For mobile game VFX, keep the vertex and triangle count as low as possible while maintaining the required silhouette.

Cross Helix and other complex mesh types may require additional optimization when using high-density settings.
