Glaves Particles and other stuff {Twinkle, Lavadrip, Localdrip Bundle!}

[Thierry]

I just tested the particles right now.
I love them. Awesome particles Glave.
The Smoke is the only one i think it need more realism, (i preffer my smoke, sorry glave)

To Alex:
I tested all glave particles and it works, but some Glave Particles have a low emission rate, like Hawk, and sometimes is hard to find a Hawk. The dandypuffs are small and can be hard to see from far.

[Glave]

lol yea, well the smoke isn't real enough for me either but its the closest I could get. I was going for thick black smoke. I will have to see what I can do to blend them more. I have a tough time trying to get them to look more see through without making them clash with each other.


EDIT: I am attempting to mess with the smoke now. I will try to give it some more realism if I can. I have learned so much since my first particle and I think I can do a little research for this one. If I can improve upon it <so far its looking a bit better actually> then I will re-post the new one along with a much improved falling leaf particle.

Maybe a crabs going flat around on the ground could be another fishy type?

[Emberflame]

hey Glave! I got another idea for a particle. how about sparks flying around, like in a volaco eruption? just a suggestion. (Although they would REALLY help me XD)

[Glave]

@Lucky: Crabs? oy! well if I can ever get a good script going for something like that...maybe.

@Firespirit: That one I had thought of, but I will make a note of it. I am still trying to fix my smoke. It was intended to be thick black smoke for a type of 'ashcloud' but so far, as Thierry said, it is just not very realistic looking. I now have issues with it turning out white instead of 'ashy' looking :/

I discovered that state_change is the time from the end of the particle, not from the begining.
This is the same script you made, but i modified a few things
state_change set to 28
alpha2 to -0.05
removed time_to_live_min and time_to_live_max, and set time_to_live to 30 (because of state_change)
added colour_range_start  set to: 1 1 1 0.4 (where is 1=red, 1=green, 1=blue, 0.4=alpha)

and it look like this:


here is the code:

wow great Thierry! A definite improvement XD I will see what I can do with the material itself. Maybe I can blend it a bit better.

[copper4me]

new particle Suggest! how about a sign that floats around everywhere and you can choose what ya want it to look like cause I edited your flys and make them my own way XD

[luckybirdy4]

When is the springish looking textures and meshes gon na be done?

[Glave]

they are done. I have to say I am not fully satisfied with them but I will put them out for those who want them.
