kender the great Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I really like that, although the bubble doesn't look like a bubble more like rounded clouds of some sort. either way its really impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Crusade Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 The bubble is the skull. Its a monster on Zelda lol. The particle effects is a purple/blue flame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxArchAngelxX Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 well as for crit… i think the fire should look more like fire and less like orange bubbles blurred together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to amuse Kreator though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Crusade Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Well we are able to use any alpha blended shape we desire. As of yet we have been using the same particle over and over, the ball. ;)It does however, look absolutely awesome in motion. It looks a lot like fire, the way it animates.

Tyr Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 nice work, i never thought bout animating a chimney :dlove the spawn the most :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusy Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Yeah - spawn point is the best. And don't expect crit when there's not too much to criticize. The only thing I don't like are those monsters sprites and that doesnt belong here. Well as I remember Keeses were burning and this one looks more like flying in a cloud of fire. I mean It would look beter if the effect had the same shape as the sprite and maybee it should be some flames over the sprite - like with the Bubble.

Sheepz Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Wow! Its like black magic! Are their any tuts on installing a particle engine into the eclipse source code or is it something that people like to keep hush hush about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 no. Kreator is using spanion's version of eclipse. So its totally different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Its not even eclipse. Its spanions engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then know that we just put them there for screenshot purposes. Don't worry, you won't find any burning keeses in the middle of hyrule field or anything. xD@slym:> no. Kreator is using spanion's version of eclipse. So its totally different.Do not speak of what you do not know. We are not using Eclipse. Spainion is not using Eclipse, we are using a completely custom engine Spainion coded from scratch, as Tribal just said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon xxx x Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 They're amazing, and Kusy, Kreator even stated that the particle effects ARE animated, so, they WILL look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japez Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 We should release a mini trailer sort of thing to showcase some of the features. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demon xxx x Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Why not just make the video into an gif with the smoke moving? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Crusade Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Besides, GIF is horrible, and it loops a series of frames. Our particle effects are not based on frames, but instead generated using an engine. GIF was out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
