You know me, I'll arrange something

Oooh, awesome

A pic of my own shivan beams

Scary

[Killfrenzy]

OMG!! Sigma, how did you do those?!?! That's just the effect I'm after for my campaign!!

[Bobboau]

I beleve it utalizes beam texture tileing, and posably translation, though it is somewhat hard to tell from a tatic image

Didn't Styxx do something very similar for MT? ElectroBeams I think they were called...

One quick check later:
Well, kinda...

The electrobeams inspired me to modify the shivan beams!
They are for my campaign so I don't release them at the moment, sorry.

I'm doing that, and I ended up in a really cool situation where I was killed by the Sathanas during High Noon - the death roll screen displayed a perfect widescreen view of the Colossus and the Sathanas face-to-face, with the Colossus letting loose with an LRBGreen.

Unfortunately, I didn't think to save it.

I don't want an exact copy, as there's no fun in that. I'd just like to know the method employed to create the effect, that's all.

I'm after exactly the same kind of effect for Part 3 of The Swarm War where I'm wanting uber-powerful beams. That said, they need to look dramatically different from the regular flavour......

Here are some more MG ones

[karajorma]

And some more





The new explosions were added by CF and he says that they originally came from Artbeats

A few months back I did a little experimenting with removing the "huge" flag from most of the beams, and overall speeding up the fire rate/projectile speed of the pulse weapons.  Well, it certainly makes for a fearsome scene:

And yes, the Ravana main guns are busily incinerating someone from Zeta wing.

Sounds good, and you're further along the campaign than I am (meant to play some more yesterday but ended up elsewhere). Want to finish it off? No sense in both of us doing it - I'll find some other things to take pictures of :devil:

[Goober5000]

I'll see what I can do, but I'd still say do some yourself.  The more pictures, the better.

[Fineus]

Cool, I'll go through it and take some nice snaps - I just won't catalogue things mission by mission.

[Fineus]

Ok, here's what I did before stopping (I picked out the best ones of the batch - deleted the rest):

It's about 1.3MB and has 14 images...

I like the new Lethe. Much better than the old one.

Kal Edit: Again, no image tags please - just the link. Thanks!

I think I took the huge flag off the LTerSlash on the Fenris foor a while. It was just so fun running around dodging that little beam.

I think that the smaller beams should have the flag removed, actually, as long as it's still almost impossible to hit fighters..
