Does anyone have suggestions on how to build a ghost shell like this one? VDL is escaping me as I can only get the sweeping effect to change the color of the entire shell.

Hey Barehm, ghosting aside, a shell with colored “bands”, is currently beyond the capabilities of VDL. The primary limiting factor is that VDL simply doesn’t have the necessary shell break pattern. The closest you can get with VDL at the moment is sweeping ghost using different colored shelf halves. Using quarters is also possible in VDL but the quarter patterns we have today represent radial quarters, like orange slices, not bands.
It’s a little difficult for me to tell in the video, but it looks like to get a really good sim for this you would need a spherical pattern divided into five bands.
I recently made a custom 3D shell pattern to achieve something similar to this effect. I’ll try to dig it and post it here.
