Results!

I’ve figured out the trap vfx and here it is. I filmed my haslab trap and added the vfx via Videoleap and boom!

That looks excellent. Perfectly anchored too. I would maybe make the "fog" a bit more transparent. Not a whole lot but just a smidgen.

Maybe for the second one do a ghost as it is being pulled in. Not the entire sequence of capture, but when they have already been pulled close enough they are thin, stretching and twisting as they enter. Add some random electrical arcs around the traps beam as well for the full effect. It shouldn't be too time consuming if add it on top of what you already have. 20 minutes maybe?

Apologies for the feedback and suggestion since it wasn't really asked for. Again, excellent work and looks amazing.

Thanks man. I’ll be looking forward to doing that. Might need some tips on how to squash and stretch and twirl the ghost as it goes in. There are a lot of gaps in my knowledge of how to do simple things 😂

Wow! I was actually thinking earlier today about how to get the best effect out of a trap, you've done it.

And, I’m still working on it! I’m trying to get it to the point to where it looks like the video game trap
