New Effect: SAO death effect

[jeffshee]

The Idea

A shattering particle effect occurs when a player dies in Sword Art Online.

Window Closing vs. Window Opening

I think this effect seems suitable only for the window closing.

Here is a video describing how to recreate the effect in After Effect. (Sorry for the non-English video, but this is the best I can find)

Hey there! Thanks for the suggestion! This looks quite nice indeed. I think it is very similar to the current broken-glass effect. Of course the shards need to have a different shape and a bit of glow would be required, but it could be based on this, I think.

I'll drop a note here if I start working on this - in the meantime, anybody is encouraged to work on this! Just drop a note here as well, so that I can assign the issue!
