Interlopers Particle Effect Thread

The video tells you it's source 2007 ^^.

[Epifire]

I thought that looked fine for Source, so why is that a limit?

[jangalomph]

after around 10,000 engine starts to choke.

[Epifire]

All I got to say after recent events is Source 2.

Janga i need you to make the floating star map from Prometheus. don't worry, we can use models for the planets and stuff.

Some particle impact effects, it's surprisingly hard to get good screenshots of them:





The particles are also animated to give a little 3D'ish effect rather than just spinning clockwise or counterclockwise.

[jangalomph]

A few pointers, decent chunk textures but they need to be scaled down. More or less smoke and a better dispersing effect of the smoke would benefit your particles, generally its classic to see just a straight up impact effect of smoke, but thats not how it works. It should disperse much more.. As for the sparks, they shouldn't taper at both ends, it looks like a double sided arrow. You need to make the falling end fat, and keep the tail end as it is currently.


And lets do it joe Make the models and I'll make the galaxy or what ever, not sure what it looks like but it can all be done.

These are all for the mod INFRA:

Beautiful janga

[Black_Stormy]

Wow man, that hardly looks like source.

[jangalomph]

Its the power of alien swarm version

Then a few conceptual things for Mind World,

This is a Mind Sphere:
Particles rotate and have an inward pull ontop of like a statue thing (not there yet)



Then some pink fog to match the concept arts lighting.


And a taller version.

If you could make that fog rotate in a spiral towards a central point and make a video.

Agreed. A video would be awesome. I just love waltzing on into this thread because there is eye candy for me everywhere.
