can anyone tell me how to make FS2 stule weapons blobs and bolts? i know a lill about hyerwoxels but those make the weapon bolts go in different directions id like to know how to create straight shooting blow weapons


and beams how can i make beam hit/charge effects?

[wEvil]

hypervoxels?  lightwave?

ack...*spits*

Just use some glows.

[Ashrak]

glows....
ehm make me an animatin where you shoot out glowing point lights......

[wEvil]

use a point light as a nodesource and just assign the glow to it, then animate the lights' movement.

easy -

A) I dont have time to do it

B) you didnt ask nicely

C)  I dont use lightwave because its' crap.

[Ashrak]

Hypervoxels ARE pretty, though.


Either make a volumetric Distant Light, or have a cylinder with multiple vertex rings along the sides and Hypervoxel it.

[wEvil]

meh...not a patch on mental ray shaders

[Stryke 9]

Wouldn't know. Can't afford. Can't steal.

...or you could do it how FS does it...make 3 ovals and tex them with a color, move and add luminecence to suit your pleasure...

And now I won't tell you how...  

btw, straight out of LW, and it doesn't give much compression, sorry.

There's a tutorial floating around on the internet on how to make phasers with moving light nodes:

http://www.scifi-meshes.com/tutorials/SFA/phaserlightwave.htm

Produces a decent looking effect, but looks nothing like anything in Star Trek or Freespace, so...
