Standard AFX Features
Scripted Effects Engine
Choreograph the timing and placement of many different effect types using a consistent scripting mechanism. Building block effects include: explosions, particle emitters, sound effects, animated models, character animations, dynamic lights, script events, zodiac ground decals, camera shakes, damage and healing, and physical zones.
Spellcasting Effects
Represent a varied assortment of magic spells: quick instants, elaborate conjurings, long-lasting buffs and de-buffs, damage over time, area effects, guided projectiles, creature summonings, resurrections, teleportations, and even flying.
Selectrons
Highlight targets and object selections with style. AFX Selectrons are designed specifically for crafting dynamic special effects for selection highlights and with the same repertoire of client effects used for magic spells, the design possibilities are enormous.
Constraint System
Independently constrain the position and orientation of any effect to other scene objects such as a spellcaster, a target, a projectile, or the camera. Attach effects to animated object nodes, such as a character's hand or foot. Create complex tracking effects using constraint history. Aim effects at the camera or other objects. You can even constrain effects to other effects.
Ready-made Effects
Get a head start on your magic spell and other effects with a varied set of pre-built example spells. A number of sample effects are included with the core product, with additional spell effects available in the content expansion, SpellPack1. These are complete implementations of showcase spells (with audio), covering a range of spell types typically found in RPG and other MMO games. Nearly all of the sample effects are compatible with both TGE and TGEA while their lighting and materials are carefully tuned for each engine.
