Good Idea!

[GermanTaco]

well, all you have to do is make one model, but give it different heights and placement options. Like it could be 4H, and center tile, which would fit most trees perfectly, and I can always set random size too.

Particle effects can be placed anywhere given the knowing!

They must be able to, think bout it, you canplace Nuclearfishes anywhere you want!

lol did i hear my name lol
btw how do u make particle effects?
i couldbe up for the challenge

[GermanTaco]

Do you know how to set up lights? Well it's similar to that, there's a tut around here somewhere....

[Coasterfreak]

NuclearFISH not MAN! Look in the importer tutorials for the lights tutorial! Yeah, i woyuld like to learn how todo partical effects soon too, if anybody can make a tutorial on that, then that would be awesome!

[NuclearMan]

ok so if i somehow make a particle effect i would be given something right? woot my keyboard is also working lol
ok time to try and be proven wrong lol who bets i can make a particle effect? of boxxes falling down? lol

[Coasterfreak]

Good Luck with figuring it out! Imay try to in a few weeks, but I am not promising that I will succeed! lol

I was thinking about this.. There would need to be a starting and end point of the leaves... how would the leaves do this? Once they hit the ground would they just continue to fall below ground level? I imagine there would need to be a trigger to stop them so how. With other particle effects, it seems easy as smoke can just dissipate over time, but the leaves are solid objects.. Im also thinking that the leaves can be separate objects that are placed after a tree is placed. This way the leaves dont need to be 'attached' to a tree model, thus saving time. Plus, not having them attached to a tree will also keep ones park from being 'flooded' with leaves, ie I could just place the falling leaves effect on every other tree or every 3rd tree etc.

This is a little off topic, but I had experimented with 'clouds' yesterday. Here is my first go - http://i192.photobucket.c...15/bridgepiece/clouds.jpg - they are very rough and fairly poly intensive (230 or so in SU) Perhaps these two ideas could be combined into one 'Seasons' CSO set? The set would include the leaves, clouds, and perhaps any other 'weather' or 'season' effect we can add..

The leaves work fine. they are animated too. As for the height and when to stop dilema, I aranged them according to how long/high they are. (1H 2H 3H etc.)
I just need to fix some stuff up.

I was thinking that too! hmmm.....

[NuclearMan]

gt could u give me a tut on making particle effects? please

[GermanTaco]

when I get time, sure! But do you know how to do lights? If you do, try looking into it, it'll help get familiar

[LittleMac]

1. I can do lights but not particle effects, whenever I try it crashes my game! In my road set currently I had roadworks and was hoping to have a dust particle effect!

2. Bridge the clouds look ok, personly I think you should try to find a cloud texture rather than make the transparent but other than that ok!

3. Particles disapear one they go under the landscape don't they? If not what happens to nuclearfishes waterfalls and fountains?

5. I can't count, as I missed out 4 haha!

[NuclearMan]

yehiknow how to do lights

[GermanTaco]

You're right..ish.
When they go under the landscape, they are still there, but you just cant see them. In NF's stuff, it's based on height, so where the box is, thats where the PE ends.

For the dust effect, how big do you want it? I could make it for ya.

[LittleMac]

Not to worry with college work picking up, i can't do a great deal anyway, but I will hold you to it!

Awesome new set GermanTaco!
