Great tutorial. Thanks for posting it.

I ran into some issues using the variable "point" in the Explosion script (it flipped the muzzle flash, made the bullets shoot at odd angles, etc.) maybe because its a reserved word? Changing it to hitPoint fixed my issues. Not sure if this is a 2.6 issue or what.

Open up the image in your favorite editing program (I use photoshop)

Select the part of the image you want to be see through..

Delete your selection..

I would save it as either a TGA or a png, make sure save alpha channel button is on.

And then just bring it into unity

Hello Brendang,

Go to this address for a better quality version of this video: http://unitytutorials.com/MuzzleComplete.mov

The site automatically does its own compression but the link in this comment is the solution I hope you all enjoy. And as always we are here to help :)

looks like a terrific tutorial. is there a higher rez version of it? It's very blurry when full screen and way to small if played in the viewer. (I'm sure Mike, has received an earful of resolution feedback in the past...lol)

Thanks, and hopefully there is a higher res version.
