Grab This Free Pixel Composer 2D Wavy Trail Effect

3D Artist Mingwei Lim aka cmzw has showcased a couple of beautiful 2D VFX elements made with Pixel Composer.

Mingwei Lim, also known as cmzw or celestialmaze, has once again demonstrated incredible technical art and shaders work, this time experimenting with MakhamDev's Pixel Composer, a powerful VFX pixel art generator and a must-have tool for indie developers familiar with node-based workflows.

The artist kindly shared node setups as well, allowing other artists to examine how exactly these effects were made. For those who own a Steam copy of Pixel Composer, cmzw made this fantastic fire-like effect called Wavy Trail available to download by subscribing to the file.
