Bug? Which bug?

The only bug it had was fixed already.

Sorry guys, you will have to wait a bit longer.

The shockwave turned out too colorful for my taste.

hey, look! it's the eye of sauron!

He's probably referring to the glowmap repeating/starting in the wrong place.

[Scuddie]

Why not have the tip of the shockwave coated with red fragments, and the rest be left alone, or maybe vice versa?  I think that would look good .

[WMCoolmon]

That effect reminds me of something in one of the cutscenes, a star, or maybe the infamous black hole.

[MetalDestroyer]

Wow, i love it.

[Kie99]

That is Godly.

It's very colorful. But if you don't mind, I can release it.

[Fineus]

It looks fantastic, but perhaps it would look better if you used similar color effects to the explosions in game? No reason for the explosion to be white with orange edges while the shockwave is solid orange / yellow.

Very cool effects. But why is the Cain/Lilith firing on the Moloch in that pic ?

To create more explosions.

It's firing at a Deimos, but the Lilith is in the way.



I'm slowly getting to a better effect, but I had little time to work on it today. Real life interferences...

 Yeah, that would be a good reason too.

I'll pack it together later.

It's kinda hard to get more colors in there... I screwed with it too much...

Maybe I should start from the scratch... dunno.

[Jetmech Jr.]

DaBrain, what would Freespace2 do without you?

[redsniper]

look ugly.

[Flaser]

Looking at those screenshots (with the AWSOME shockwaves) made me think.

Why don't we have proper lighting?

If beams can illuminate ships and we have point lightsources, why don't we put one inside the epicenter of the shockwave?

Source mages can this be done?

[Ghost]

Holy ****. I want the firey orange shockwave.

That wouldn't be great. The shockwave spawns in the middle of the ship, so the shockwave light would be inside the mesh, therefore it wouldn't lighten much of it, just portions of the ship that are facing it, like towers, turrets and stuff facing inward. Would look weird, with straight cuts in the shadows

[DaBrain]

Ok here is the current effect.

I like the blue one better. Maybe I'll redo the red one from the scratch later.
