Visual Effect objects are found in the Object Window under WorldData.

To create a new Visual Effect, right-click in the list of visual effects in the Object Window and select "new" from the popup. To create a new Visual Effect based off an existing one, right-click the Visual Effect you wish to use as a basis and select "duplicate". To delete an existing Visual Effect, right-click that Visual Effect and select delete.

Rotate To Face Target

This option is used by the scripting system to rotate (or aim) the art object towards another "target" reference (something other than the effect target).

Attach to camera

When this visual effect is applied, the art will be positioned at and move with the camera if this box is checked. This only applies to effect art.
