prev's fx 3.0: New WIPs

[Xenolith]

It does work, i was just trying to fuel creative ideas.  I hope you took it that way.

I'm looking forward to the fx pack!

[detourne_me]

please and thankyou put all your fx in with the dat file... i still cant f\get FFEdit to work, so i cant manually input fx anymore... only merge dats.

[herodad1]

that fx pack talk makes me hungry for more!

[Previsionary]

what's the x pack?

The X-pack was a pack of fx I released a few months ago. It had somewhere around 22 fx in it. The pack I've yet to release (and almost lost today actually...) originated as a sequel to it with some left over fx I didn't include last time. It just outgrew it and became a variety pack with 40+ new fx.

So many things to upload and work on. *disappears into the darkness to play Okami*

[Previsionary]

Word is that a certain fx pack is primed for release soon. The other word is that this may be the last pack for a good long while. Wonder what that means.

*disappears for awhile*

[The Hitman]

Wonder what that means.

More mods? Or... Okami has fully taken over?

[Gremlin]

Wonder what that means.

More mods? Or... Okami has fully taken over?

Prem needs to learn how to use the brush in Okami to make FX.

[detourne_me]

and he told me he was barely interested in this game okami.... i say his pants are on fire, and maybe even hanging from a telephone wire

Incorrect. I said I only mentioned it twice and disappeared for 3 weeks. I haven't played Okami in those 3 weeks...so...do the math.

[Previsionary]

And you can go here to download the V-pack and some other older fx.

[Sledgehammer]

Thanks, Prev! Awesome stuff, really. I've been missing a lot during my absence. Trying to catch up...

[BentonGrey]

Glad you got these out Prev!  They look great!

[Previsionary]

In an effort to unwind, I placed some of my energy into making some new fx. Nothing out of the ordinary, but this should cover a few characters.

RACHEL PACK
=============

Blue_Phoenix_Explosion:



Blue_Phoenix_Shield:





Blue_Phoenix_Inferno:





Blue_Inferno:


Blue Flame Project, Cannon, Jet:







- Only one of these may be released, as I hate how the particles remain orange but shift to blue. Also, they're redundant thanks to Alex's version.

Blue_flying_flame:





Blue_Inferno_Direct


-----------------

Venom Blast:





Ultimate_Teleport:







Bloody_Card:





-quickly made for characters like Bullseye (idea sparked by LP)
--------------------

And that's that. Most of them are still in WIP form, and who knows when I'll pack them together. Most likely I'll just add them to the dat files of the X and V-pack instead of individually releasing them.

[GogglesPizanno]

LASER BEAMS!!

[cmdrkoenig67]

Ooooooohhh...Shiney!  Those look marvelous, Prem.

Dana

[Previsionary]

Bad pun, new fx.

ArchAngel 2-pack
===========

Flechette and Dark Tipped Flechette (X-force variant):








---------------

Ack, almost forgot. Thanks to Tomato for making the flechettes for me. ^^

[Cyber Burn]

always appreciating the cool fx you put together.

[Previsionary]

I'm glad some people still enjoy new fx, heh. They don't typically entice players like those new maps and skins do.

Anyway, this one is experimental, so I'm looking for some opinions before I go any further with it. I wanted to make a "web bullet" for Spidey, but I realize I won't get the exact thing due to limits within FF/the nifs, however, I am considering going with this:



Thoughts?

[USAgent]

I think it looks great right now Prev, its looks pretty much like how a web shot looks like.  Size wise, what is it compareable to?  And what kind of end.nif is it gonna have?  I myself would use it as a crushing attack.

[detourne_me]

I really like the new archangel FX... not much a fan of the blue variants though (not much of a rachel grey fan eitherthough)

As for the spidey bullets.. are they supposed to be impact webbing?
could it be possible to reskin the arcane bolt and shrink it a bit?  I always think of web bullets to be more of a clump, with webs trailing off of it.

What you have now is a little too long for my tastes.. it looks more like a web that will wrap around the baddie when it hits.

Actually, I think the flechettes are supposed to be silver (I only meshed them) it's just the lighting is very blue... Archangel is sort of the same way if you look at the first screen.

Indeed, the flechettes are shades of silver/grey/black, but I think he was talking about the rachel/blue fx in particular, though I may be wrong. If you dislike Rachel, just think of it as Blue fire fx for microverse Human Torch.
-------------------

The impact webbing/web bullets IS a variant of the arcane bolt without the trail, as the source I'm using to base it off doesn't have a trail.
--------------------

Size comparison? That's a good question. I'd say it's around the size of a "radbolt" and it could probably use a little more shrinking.





As seen in these pics, it's about the size of Shadow's shuriken, but bigger than this version of the batarang.

[herodad1]

i like it dude!

[yell0w_lantern]

I think it looks perfectly cromulent.

[Previsionary]

thanks, gangers. I'll work more on the spidey fx laterage. In the meantime, I got Mato to make me one more fx mesh that I wanted to make a while back.

Daredevil 6 pack
==============

Two Tone:


Red Tone:


Ending to both:


Silver Tone:




I'm not very happy with how the colors came out, so I plan on working on them quite a bit more, but I think they're "acceptable". It's a 6 pack because each version of the fx comes with a "strapless" version. Also, know what sucks, spending time putting details and textures on things that don't show up well in game, heh. Oh well.

Could you maybe figure out a way for it to look layered. Ya know, like an arcane bolt does? Or maybe figure out a way to leave trails, also like an arcane bolt sparks, could tiny shards fling off ouf it or something, like strands.

[Previsionary]

Maybe later. I purposely removed them to fit the image in my head (and the source). Having it layer doesn't scream "web blasts" to me. *shrugs*
-------------

Since someone asked me for a Count Vertigo/Vertigo cone a while back, and it fit in with what I was doing at the time, I decided to go ahead and do two.

Vertigo Cone:




"Animated" Vertigo Cone:

[herodad1]

nice cone fx prev.that vertigo cone could be used for alot of characters.havok,shocker,aquaman,ect...!

[Previsionary]

I have some new fx to show off. I noticed Ms. Marvel doesn't really have her own dedicated fx and, considering she "died" and was replaced, I figured I'd honor her.

Marvel beam 2-pack:









Love Tap:


========

Hrm, as of this post, the new pack is situated at...um...22 fx not including the web bullet fx I didn't finish.

[deano_ue]

these are looking good mate
