HELP!

[daglob]

I'm trying to make The Moon Maid's horns/antennae spark, and so far had no success.

I don't want to give her a particle emitter, that's too extreme. They were always drawn as little lightning bolts maybe three-four inches long. I've tried using the "billboard" thingies from Mr. Mechnaical, intending to have it cycle through a few arrangements, but it doesn't like to be redeuced in scale and then won't stay in place.

I will take advice or outright offers to fix the scope. I have no shame.

Could you animate the skin like one of the effects meshes? Can you turn the effects on just for the antenna and leave it off for the rest, especially if the antenna are a seperate skope item with their own skin?

Could you get the effect by using animated textures, like your "Captain_Universe" skope?

I was thinking animated textures, as well. Just plug an alpha piece on the head.

But, maybe better, you could grab the Billboard nodes from Revenant's Iceman_(gold) (reflecting, shiny ice) or Laughing Paradox's Dazzler skope (Dazzler sparkles that use Rev's Iceman pieces). Those nodes appear to be just the size you would need.

I'll look and see if I have Iceman Gold and/or that Dazzler. I intended to use animated textures, looking a little like the Super Powers Pyroman, but not have the effect quite so large. In the game, the bolts would cover a span little wider than her hand.

Thanks, guys.

Iceman_(gold) is here: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/revenant_skins02/files and LP's Dazzler is at the Force of Paradox site.
