Hi guys.
There is any fx for "metal projectiles/pieces" or something like it? I need something to represent Cosmic Boy's ability to throw metal objects on his target.
Thanks in advance!

   Is there a certain shape you are looking for? I use the flechette FX from an X-Men pack I got on FRP for Archangels metal wing projectiles. Since you're associated with FRP, you've probably already checked all of those FX out, so forgive my potentially useless post. Were you looking for an effect like projectiles (flechette, shiruken, billyclub, bullet, knife, etc.) clumped together in a group?

No post is "useless", Hoss. Prev alone, made hundreds of FX, so there are a lot of them I don't know. I'm looking for something that looked more like generic metal parts Cos could get in a fight (cars, debris, etc) than something specific like metal weapons.
Thanks for your tip!

Yes, herodad's link will help you a lot. There's definitely a lot of metal based FX in FF1 done by the FXforce crew. I want to say they also did poles and trashcans as well. Check out Mike's WreckageFXPack2, for example, if you're OK with alpha plane FX.

As for myself, I haven't done a lot of pure metal FX. I'm not sure anything I've released would be of use to you in this particular endeavor.

   What about the Plasma Sculptor FX made for the attribute? It has a car, streetlight, dumpster, and barricade. I guess you'll have to replace the nif from the projectile FX of choice, but these are at least some some objects for you.

I had checked FXForce before, but I forgot to check the wreckage packages, they have exactly what I needed.
Thanks to all of you for your help, guys!
