Ghost Revive Effect

by Johnny Hill · in Torque Game Engine · 11/08/2004 (11:10 am) · 2 replies

I would like to make more effects like this. I know its a DTS shape but is there any detail documentation on creating these effects or is it similiar to the animated DTS information already available.

also do it only exist in the realm war builds?

thanks for any info

Actually none exist off the bat. But I have instead found a nice site on FX in MAX.

Dont like to leave any info unfinished. But I have successfully transplanted the realmwar effects into my FPS starter kit.

I also have created some very nice anime power-up DTS effects. Most if not all I got from looking at vid clips of FFXI online. And there is a great article about drawing those effects in How to draw Anime series from Antarctic Press books.

I applied those 2-D drawing techniques to 3-D shapes and animated the textures to achieve those effects. But let me say this mines are crudeeeee very crudeeee compare to the Ghost and lightning bolt effects.

all I can say if you having trouble figure out something on torque keep hammering at it. :)

hmmm I wonder if billboards would be better :)
