My first particle smoke stared firery, but somehow, it wasn't really noticeable.

I like the firery one more than the smoky one ;)

Only my flak Ani (Exp20.ani) to ExpMissilehit1.ani. Yopu should also create some copies of it (ExpMissilehit1_1.ani, ExpMissilehit1_2.ani, ExpMissilehit1_3.ani).


If you like my flak animation don't just rename it, but rename a copy of it ;)

DaBrain, would you fancy doing a makeover on Inferno's new Shivan weapons?

Ok, I think my last shockwave had a weird perspective, so I just tried again. And then I decided to make a whole new, better shockwave effect.

But here is my old problem: The 256 color limit.

There is only one option for me: Recolor each frame in Photoshop, so 256 colors will be enough. But I can't decide on a color...
Standart (Needs at least 16 bit)                


Blue


Orange/yellow




Feel free to suggest other colors. Tell me if it needs more red or wheter a dark blue looks better.

Hmm much work. Can that even be done? Race specific shochwaves?

Would probably need a modified table if it is possible.




And if you had to decide on one color for all shockwaves, which would you choose?

Well, if you have to choose for a color then the orange/yellow one is pretty much fine ;)

Ok, thanks. Thats what I thought ;)

This one will get Lods, so it won't cause that much performance problems as the old one.

Gorgeous, just gorgeous.

Now someone should just compile all of the new stuff into yet another SuperMediaVPVP.vp and give us short bus crew a chance to furiously masturbate over our keyboards while thinking of DaBrain.
lol wtf

 
Someone´s feeling very horny...  :D
No Freespace 3 ?!? Oh, bugger...

I'll go for the orange version.

Dude.  Make a red one.
We have returned to continue our purification of this galaxy. It is again your turn to be crushed beneath the great force that is the Antaran army. All your petty squabbling with the other beings in this galaxy is meaningless. The Antaran fleet will destroy you all, one by one. You may not surrender. You cannot win. Your only option is death.

I think red looks weird. Do you agree?

Blue is still the best colour for shockwaves.
Modern man is the missing link between ape and human being.

 
Is it possible to have the First part orange (the bright point of light) and have the shockwave blue? How would that look?

Shockwaves need to be colorless. Period. In fact you shouldn't see them at all, just see the debris getting pushed and feel the hit.
