FX / Re: FX mods
Last post by Randomdays - February 25, 2026, 04:01:43 AMNot an expert on fX's but Looking a them before each comes in either two or three different nifs - always start and core, and sometimes end.
Most if not all should have a texture tied to it and material for it. If you right click on the material, you can set how bright the nif shows up in game - probably increasing emissive, but maybe diffuse or ambient. move the dot on the bottom of the pyramid to the right to make it brighter. changing the texture from say a red color to a blue color ought to at least change the fx's color.
You could try mix and matching - using the end nif of Diablo's fx and copying it over to another fx. changing the texture should change the color. I'm not sure this would work though
Since the nif runs an internal kf as it takes effect, that might block you since I'm not sure how that changes color and light over time.
Good luck

wow 
They were always great characters missing from the game! I like the designs of the classic ones and the new ones that do car races; they're very faithful to the source material. The diorama looks just as terrifying as what's seen in the short film. #23

Last post by Randomdays - February 25, 2026, 02:41:39 AMThanks Guys.
I've finished what I think I want to do with Dizney Ducks, So I started work on th other classic Dizney characters. There will be about a dozen or so of both good guys and bad guys.
It will be a few days until everything's ready for release and I hope to have 3 or 4 dioramas out of them. Here's a preview of the first one;
Mickey Mouse and the Mad Doctor - from 1933. Mickey is sleeping during a stormy night and hears Pluto howling. Going outside he finds Pluto missing and footprints leading off. He follows them to a mad scientist's castle with a bridge to it. Inside, the mad doctor's plan is to splice Pluto with a chicken and see if a dog, chicken or hybrid hatches from any eggs laid. Mickey enters the castle and fights a lot of skeletons to get to Pluto where he's captured and put on a rack with a buzzsaw being lowered over him.
One of my favorite parts of the cartoon is the skeleton spider in a web.
The skeletons are previous imports from Civ4
All other models are from the models resource. Mickey, Pluto and the Mad Doctor are rigged and ready for play on release.
Complete cartoon linked below.

Releases / Re: CRANLOX LABORATORY
Last post by cranlox - February 25, 2026, 01:21:35 AMI wanted to deliver! And I even offered the versions; I made two animated series and one in line art with animation tailored to the main villain. 
Tomorrow I'll be busy with errands and health checks, I won't be on the computer much but I'm processing the 3 Robots characters from Robots 2005: Rodney Copperbottom, Fender Pinwheeler and Lug the wrestling green robot.
I hope they look good in the preview; the first one turned out well, but when lowering the polygons, some quality is lost.

FX / FX mods
Last post by RingsOfReznor - February 25, 2026, 12:50:24 AMQuestion for the experts:
Are there any existing mods for the in-game FX that add/increase lighting?
For instance El Diablo's projectiles generate light on impact, whereas Arcane Bolt does not. Blackjack's Rapid Fire generates a small light when thr muzzle flashes. Do any existing mods enhance these effects?

These are my character models created from Monsters Inc. in the Mirrorverse style.
I really liked the duo of Mike and Sulley.
and I felt it was important to add Mike's wife, Celia, their friend George Sanderson
and the banished Yeti, who, as always, is never in line with what others are doing.
That's why I chose to make him without Mirrorverse-style armor.
Celia

Sanderson
One minor additional detail is that you have to add its small horn on its head; it was an element that caused a lot of confusion in the video generation for capture.

Last post by cranlox - February 24, 2026, 09:13:26 PMI could have easily killed myself, I'm so glad I got off easy. Anyway, it's over now, all that's left is to recover.
I'll walk around comically ridiculous for a while

Last post by Randomdays - February 24, 2026, 08:18:02 PMSympathies Cranlox. Glad you weren't hurt bad.
We have a couple of sayings in the US -
"He must have been born under an unlucky star" and "It never rains but it pours"
Seems like you're having a bad string of luck lately.
It reminds me of one of the Flintstones characters you did - "Badluck Schleprock"
Hope things turn around for you and a lot of good luck comes your way.
Be well

Last post by cranlox - February 24, 2026, 07:07:11 AMLooks like I have a knack for aiming! hahaha
Luckily, I can tell the tale and have a bit of a laugh about it. I fell down the stairs in my house (black marble), hitting my entire left side from my ankle to my ribs, forearm, and head. To my pleasant surprise, besides a nasty fall, I only got scrapes and two small cuts: one on my hand where the key got stuck, and a scrape on my ankle, which was the only part that bled. I could easily have died with how far the fall went. It was a terrible accident, but I'm incredibly lucky. It's going to be funny telling the doctors that I fell down the stairs at home while I was recovering.
He explained the fall: it was a patio ladder you have to climb to close the patio awning. A sudden storm hit without warning, and I rushed up to close the awning. The ladder got wet... and the descent was actually much faster than the ascent!
Hahaha! I'm so glad nothing serious happened to me, thank God!
