probad 44 Posted August 21, 2014 The effect looks fantastic, but the regularity with how high the blast smoke rises makes it seem a bit unnatural to me. Each blast should feel unique, so maybe some randomness can help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

probad 44 Posted August 21, 2014 I think you misunderstood, it's not about how high the smoke rises, it's that each explosion plume should rise to slightly different heights. You can even see in the video when it zooms out, the plumes don't rise to all the same height. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 3949 Posted August 21, 2014 Wow amazing!! A question though, these new explosions cover the large rounds for artillery it seems and or dropped bombs, what about mortar rds, grenades, He rds from tanks, satchels and other explosive types, rpg/AT/AP rocket launcher rd impacts, will the new blastcore cover those as well?

Its a complete redesign, so I guess OS has also reworked those FX. We'll have to wait for the release I guess :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miketim 20 Posted August 21, 2014 Hey, you changed your profile pic to be a phenoix. fyi to everyone, if you measure the edges of the wing tips, the degrees are 255.3, if you do some caluclations, the illumanti pyramid fits perfectly.... coincidence anyone? jk:cool: I saw those nice dirt plume things, are arty shells going to throw up dirt into the air, if you ever played I44, something like that.

das attorney 857 Posted August 21, 2014 I think it's his car - post up a pic if you get time OS (blur out the plates if you do). Blastcore's looking pretty good too :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone mentioned the perf impact, its not that bad and really depends on how you use them if you go berserk and have like 10 going all at once then yes it will utterly nuke your PC. But having them spread out with intervals then its not so bad, the dust don't hang about as much as before because having smoke hanging about in the air will just add huge demand on the particle resources at the disposable. There needs to be a reserve so other effects can be emitted without issue and reduces the chances of particle cutting out. There is battledust which lasts for 1-2 mins and is improved since prev release and don't eat the resources too much. Will be showcasing some aircraft exploding soon as they look rather decent.

papy.rabbit.08 0 Posted August 21, 2014 The effect looks fantastic, but the regularity with how high the blast smoke rises makes it seem a bit unnatural to me. Each blast should feel unique, so maybe some randomness can help? Totally insane effect! Hope it gets soon released! I agree with that regularity problem. I think that the human eye has difficulties to really see details, but see very well something that get regular. Still awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea i can do something about that, it can be alot more random it can go higher or out more. Btw the sounds arnt part of the update, its my own soundmod im using.

Oh wow, I didn't even know that was possible, that would be pretty awesome to see, espcially several bombs dropped next to each other. Btw, nice car :D! Seems like quite a project of its own.

R. Brown 10 Posted August 21, 2014 Right this should get you fapping again. Its still a WIP, im still working on the lighting as takes a bit of twiddling to get right. But as i said the entire effects has been rebuilt, so its totally differnt method of how it all appears and shit. But i think im heading in the right direction, told you the rebuild was worth it... The update is called Phoenix btw. http://youtu.be/5-gsw_MkKyg When this happened I pooped a little. Amazing work so far thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
