Object effectVortex drain
Caught by a whirlpool: it spirals in and down, spinning faster as the orbit tightens, and drains away — reverting flings it back up out of the funnel
Object effectBlast off
Crouch, then launch straight up and out of the scene — it comes back with a powered landing: falls in, brakes hard, hovers, touches down
Object effectEmber ash
Burn a 3D object to charcoal and pale ash that the wind blows away in flakes, then un-burn it. A realistic fire exit effect.
Object effectFly-by
Takes off, banks and flies past the camera — it comes back from behind the camera on the other side and sets down in place
Object effectWorks well with

Animated smoke materials: a rising column that curls into billows, or a twisting ribbon of wispy smoke. Translucent, endless, no code.
MaterialSmoke
A rising smoke column material: a thin thread that curls into billows and fades into the air, shaded by its own density. For chimneys and fires.
SmokeSmoke Ribbon
A twisting ribbon of wispy smoke: soft-edged smoke scrolls upward while the shape spirals around its axis. For decorative wisps behind products and titles.
SmokeMurmuration
A starling murmuration: thousands of boids with topological neighbours swirl around a drifting roost, folding into dense, wave-like sheets. Use for dusk, wildlife, flocking, atmospheric scenes.
EffectPlasma Whip
A plasma whip cursor: a glowing tube of plasma lashes behind the mouse, longer on fast moves. For energy, gaming and sci-fi scenes.

A wormhole funnel shaped like Flamm's paraboloid: a lensed view into another universe, Keplerian swirl and infalling, blueshifting matter. Use for portals, sci-fi gates, rifts.
