@quick fox u could do like little acceleration for like sparks, like 0.2,0.2,0.2, then make another particle emitter with another acceleration direction
or something like that
cyan gust
i diagnose all of you with E I and stupid
lucid condor
its not completely random but it still has that little vibe to it
pseudo hearth
particles, are VFX.
quick fox

Mesh VFX, is technically still considered VFX.

Dude. How do people make these effects
ive been doing it for like
probably 4 years now
ive only gotten serious about it in 2020
heady meteor
Oh, and being really good at creating meshes & textures helps
(just a little tip, textures dont matter most of the time for particles)
unless its like lightning
otherwise you can get away with making a blob and make it still look good
w8 i just realized i pinged a mod for that
uh
sry
onyx vapor
lol that's fine, it was a response
heady meteor
if im being honest most of my textures are just blobs

nah, if I wanted to get some, I'd just rip them
I'd rather learn how to do it well myself
heady meteor
ah
alright
i respect that
is the orb on that using two different particles rotating in different directions?
if it is, i wouldnt recommend doing it like that
id instead recommend one particle with rotationspeed of
a negative and positive number
something like -100, 100
onyx vapor
Yeah, I have 2 emitters going in opposite directions
onyx vapor
That's what I really need, is to start learning the techniques for making it look better.
heady meteor
i recommend stuff like this
its what i do for things like this https://gyazo.com/ec318ddab481eeb9d77f5bc2820b9738

I'm more interested in the scripting side of things honestly. Like how I can code the properties to change to produce really interesting effects

Roblox would lose tons of players and money. So yeah. No
They would lose tons of players, and games
Losing robux and money
Idk what you’re tryna get at, it won’t happen

Is there a way to make trials look
Not like just lines?
And more like beams?
Pretty sure that has the bad trail too
Lol
west monolith
yea the carpet has a horrible trail
quick fox
I think that’s just roblox in general
We got mesh deformation, which was, nice, but now we need improved VFX
People can make some epic things with meshes

Where did that come from? And who cares?

Tweenservice, + add ground FX.
By the way, re-sending this but ehh take a good look at this piece.
Like really, dive deep into it.
And search for some references regarding Tornado VFX's.
quick fox
I didn’t make the one I posted lol, and yea I will. Gotta look at them anime tornadosss
I just edited it and added particles + lights
pseudo hearth
Ah, you should try to create your own meshes.
quick fox
Yeah that’s what I’ll be doing for a couple of weeks
pseudo hearth
Mostly are just solid copies, of eachother. The similarities, are insane.
the long voronoi lines, make it all look the same, bland texturing usage of roblox materials kinda drag the quality back.
This is why i'd advice you to take a few lessons regarding texturing.
quick fox
@pseudo hearth texturing?
quick fox
Ah so that’s just an actual texture? Not just a mesh?
pseudo hearth
It's a mesh with a texture.
pseudo hearth
Yep.
If you manage to create some of your own, then you're ready to do some big brain stuff.
This could be possible, but in a bootleg fashion.. but ehh atleast you could nail the particles on this one.

Hmmmmm
I guess this is just one of those things you keep doing until you get good
Hey, have you met anyone who’s like a jack of all trades?
Like they’re good at everything?

Technically, this one could be possible you just need to fix up the textures, particles and lots of scripting.
pseudo hearth
Like they’re good at everything?
Ehh a few, but that's not related to this section of development.
quick fox
Ehh a few, but that's not related to this section of development.
Yea sorry lol, was just curious

I'm trying to become one myself, a lil jack of all trades, but this time a bit more limited.

ehh, gotta fix that up in Blender. ROBLOX, decides to triangulate objects that get imported into it.
quick fox
Nah it was awful looking in blender lol
pseudo hearth
guess thats the issue lmfao
lmao, you could do uv texturing in Blender when it comes to good looking meshes.
quick fox
Yo that’s epic, but probably over the face limit right?
pseudo hearth
ehh, you decide the face limit.
Max was around 10k I can remember, but I think it's higher now depending on if it's a .fbx
quick fox
I’m just sad we don’t have the stuff where we can see into the middle like that
It’s 10K for mesh pets
Parts
pseudo hearth
well, i've tried rigging up a tornado
you could rig it up, and do some animations with it.
quick fox
?
pseudo hearth
yh tweenservice, would be better.
Since moving those bones, was just essentially moving around an part of the mesh deforming it.
quick fox
What do you recommend making modules for btw?
I made one for tween service to help not flood my code
pseudo hearth
I'm skipping scripting for now, but I guess you can ask this big boy @kind glacier
quick fox
Ah alr
pseudo hearth
My scripting time, will come later.
quick fox
What should I start with btw
pseudo hearth
After, I finish off the fundamentals.
quick fox
In meshes
pseudo hearth
As in fundamentals, I'd just learn how to model VFX meshes properly first, after that you get to worry about texturing.
quick fox
So, shape first
pseudo hearth
You could also do it the other-way around, but that's all your preference.
quick fox
You could also do it the other-way around, but that's all your preference.
What type of attack should I try making a model for first?
pseudo hearth
Your choice, to be honest.
Take the reference image, that's pinned in the chat.
As a reference.
So you'll create some amazing shit.
pseudo hearth
I just wish we had gradients for fuckin parts lol
Welcome to the texturing section of Blender.
You could fix that up.
pseudo hearth
quick fox
Yeah I can only see like half of the fireball, and it looks like it’s mostly like, effects from unity
Err
Eeee*
pseudo hearth
mesh > decals (texture) > groundpart with a decal or a beam.
this one could be replicated in studio, with a couple of beams.
pseudo hearth
attachment within your mesh give it a particle emitter or, just put a pointlight within.
depending on what you want to do.
pseudo hearth
that's solid texturing lmao
quick fox
Yeah that seems complicated 😩
pseudo hearth
and a part.
pseudo hearth
Not particularly, it all just depends on how far you can stretch your capabilities and if you are eager to learn more.
quick fox
Yeah.. I’m just intimidated is all
pseudo hearth
but it's heavily recommended to learn certain aspects, such as color and stuff to fix up your textures.
pseudo hearth
If you know how to use colors properly, you'll be able to do more.
Unless you want to colorize your mesh, with a horrible blend of yellow and purple.
Which looks kinda off-putting.
quick fox
Ok what I’m concerned about is like, importing it into roblox.
What’s the difference between colorize and color?
pseudo hearth
What’s the difference between colorize and color?
difference between colorize and color.
colorize = coloring it.
quick fox
You’re telling me I can import it, almost exactly how it looks, into roblox? The gradient color and all?
pseudo hearth
What I'm saying is yes, you can import a mesh with it's textures that are supposed to be baked into roblox yes.
pseudo hearth
Unity VFX tutorials, etc.
quick fox
Uhm, ok
pseudo hearth
Mhm, there's a bunch of resources.
You just gotta look for it, use some better keywords and you'll find them in no-time.
quick fox
?
pseudo hearth
That's a good start.
quick fox
Tbh wouldn’t making the shockwave 3D be better?
pseudo hearth
All your preference
pseudo hearth
Shockwave, and the debris around it.
quick fox
H e h e, nope, i was saying I could make the whole thing with meshes I already have, but I need to learn how to make stuff since it wouldn’t look right
Similar, but off
quick fox
Shockwave, and the debris around it.
Also Im trying to think of how to make things curved but I can’t really figure it out lol
So that’s another thing i gotta look into
C U R V I N G
Also, question, would the middle have to be textured too? In response to the tornado. Or does double sided work?

pseudo hearth

Essentially the entire mesh is textured.
So, you could experiment around with double sided if it causes a better visual effect.
quick fox
I gotta learn how to make shapes 🌝
quick fox
Essentially the entire mesh is textured.
Have you played world of magic?
Just curious on what you think of their effects
they seem to use basic meshes and look very epic.
pseudo hearth
SFX, Particle Emitters, meshes and a bunch of scripting.
Their effects, are quite good but it just feels bland in my perspective.
quick fox
Hm
pseudo hearth
All I'm seeing is old recycled assets, being put into a fairly designed game
quick fox
I think for being quite basic it looks nice
pseudo hearth
I think for being quite basic it looks nice
yeah it looks pretty nice, don't get me wrong on that part.
but it just all feels the same, a bit too bland.
quick fox
Is there a real way to make a wind ball with a mesh? Or is it better to go with particles
Cause hold on a second
Trying to make some good looking wind magic
Idk
pseudo hearth
What's that mesh called again in the parts section in Studio.
It's that circle part.
quick fox
?
pseudo hearth
You insert it, add an attachment inside of it and give it the speed of 0, change transparency to 0.
After that you insert a texture that sorta glows around it.
play a bit with zOffset.
and a few more things, but I'm sure you'll figure that out.
quick fox
Circle part in the parts section...?
pseudo hearth
By the way, how many times have you seen this mesh appear?
I've seen it for years, that's why I mentioned it being bland in my perspective.
I just see most assets being the same, nothing new really.
quick fox
Ah
quick fox
Yea
pseudo hearth
But it's just an invisible part, with two attachments + beams.
pseudo hearth
How would I use that to help with wind effects for
I didn't mention wind effects, you could use that technique to display anticipation, or dissipation.
quick fox
Ahhh
pseudo hearth
You just need a diff texture for it.
pseudo hearth
So like, make the attachements move away from each other?
quick fox
But it's just an invisible part, with two attachments + beams.
Single beam? Or multiple? I’m confused on how this works tbh
quick fox
Mhm
pseudo hearth
I assigned one beam, that's connected to both attachments.
pseudo hearth
Would work for nearly everything depending on how you use it.
Could be impact, dissipation, anticipation.
quick fox
Idk how you would like.
Make it rotate for a wall? If you get what I’m saying, I think I should use a point light for that tbh
pseudo hearth
Then you'd have to rotate the part, instead of the attachments.
You could do that with scripts, ofcourse.
I'm probably gonna give lessons regarding VFX for a price, after I get good at most of it.
quick fox
@pseudo hearth no I’m talking about like, the anticipation, to rotate so it’s acting like it’s on the wall
But I’d use a point light for that probably
pseudo hearth
<@!415575571959906335> no I’m talking about like, the anticipation, to rotate so...
Ah.
quick fox
What’s the benefits of using beams over point lights?
pseudo hearth
More control.
Flexibility, you can use scripts to move the invisible part around, give it a particle emitter, add on more beams.
One invisible part, attachment and a particle emitter with a good texture results into this*
And voila, you've got that masterpiece you can use with beams.
quick fox
Huh
pseudo hearth
quick fox
Still a bit confused
pseudo hearth
Still a bit confused

This, I mean, can you just do the same with point lights? Idk, beams seem cool but idk how to implement them into my attacks and stuff

It's more like an flexible layer.
raw abyss
ugly particle 😔
pseudo hearth
You can decide what to do with it.
quick fox
Ah
pseudo hearth
By the way you can't uhh put a particle emitter inside of a pointlight.
pseudo hearth
You can put a point light on an attachment.
but you can't put an particle emitter inside of a pointlight.
thats the thing
pseudo hearth
wym.
quick fox
You just put a point light on an attachment and then put the particle emitter on the attachment
pseudo hearth
You do realize, it only works because of it being inside of an attachment.
But if you make it a child of the pointlight
it doesn't work.
quick fox
Yes, but I don’t see why that matters
pseudo hearth
it matters because, if you're gonna try to do that it's just gonna end up in nothing happening lmfao
it's good to know certain things.
pseudo hearth
alright
raw abyss
@pseudo hearth may i ask?
what's the purpose of beams?
I have no idea on how beams work but i'm interested lol
i'ma just look it up 
pseudo hearth
i'ma just look it up <:pensivecowboy:748220565592211526>
"A beam object connects two attachments by drawing a texture between them.", it's just a fancy way of having trails
raw abyss
yeah but how do i use them?
pseudo hearth
awe shit.
pseudo hearth
I'll just guide you to an youtube video instead.
raw abyss
alright
pseudo hearth
I could explain this rq, but press the beam, click on Attachment0
and press on Attachment0.
raw abyss
yeah i already did those
onyx vapor
Also, avoid fremodel particles & auras
Avoid freemodel anything.
Personally, I'm fascinated by the potential of scripting effects. I think that might be why some of the effects artists on here feel that it's so limited on Roblox... they don't get into the scripting side of it, which is hugely important.
quick fox
Freemodels are pretty good

how do i make seamless lightning for trails like this
Game used(for more testing, pick any speedster character and hold q and walk): https://www.roblox.com/games/4812093631/The-Flash-Earth-Prime
are these just regular trails?
they do not look like them.
onyx vapor
Looks like either trails or beams with really good textures
tired rivet
Alright, thanks!
heady meteor
Think they’re trails
They just have
A really long texture
Wait no
It’s two trails
They have a basic trail with a high light emission to get the start a lot brighter
tired rivet
Ohhh
onyx vapor
I'm gonna try to think of a way to procedurally generate lightning like that...
onyx vapor
I'm a programmer, so I think of everything in terms of coding lol.
heady meteor
That’s
quick fox
** You are now Level 4! **
heady meteor
Yeah
If both ends don’t match there’ll be a jagged line in where the texture restarts
pseudo hearth
Also, avoid fremodel particles & auras
Ehh, just came back.
Freemodels, are usable and could be used for a learning curve.
But once someone starts publishing it, and claims it theirs, then avoid tf out of it.
heady meteor
You really shouldn’t use free models for stuff like that though
I made the same mistake

If you have no idea, it's good to learn a bit from pre-made assets.

Flip the texture in like paint.net and reupload

If you can find a good one then yeah, but looking at things such as attack effects or auras through free models almost guarantees you’ll learn bad habits
It happened to me before when I first started
The only thing I can semi recommend is

What do you mean with bad habits in this instance.
heady meteor
That one particle pack

What do you mean with bad habits in this instance.
A bad habit of having light influence at anything above 0
I used to have light influence at like 1 for everything
pseudo hearth
A bad habit of having light influence at anything above 0
It's good, to start with no prior experience. They'll figure out over-time, if it gets the job done properly to the result they want, then there really is no bad habit.
pseudo hearth
I only do light influence 1, for transparency due to the alpha being rendered as black.
tired rivet
can i make the texture size larger from studio
pseudo hearth
Had to hop back in studio, to verify lol
heady meteor
Light emission 1 isn’t bad if you use it scarcely
For things such as optimization for all environmental lightings I don’t recommend going above like 0.7
And the reason your texture had a black background is because whoever made it didn’t make the background transparent
Meaning you’re forced to have light emission 1 at all times
pseudo hearth
I know how it works, I create my own textures.
You could also make it transparent without the usage of light emission at all.
pseudo hearth
Man, those ones are pretty decent most of the time.
pseudo hearth
As long as you make the background transparent then you don’t gotta worry
tbh, i don't really worry all that much regarding light influence.
heady meteor
Light influence is disgusting
pseudo hearth
lmao
heady meteor
Very rarely do you ever actually have to use it
The first thing I do is set that to 0 lol
heady meteor
I’d recommend adding more connecting stands to it

ohhhhhhhhhhh
okay im just gonna use packs i have no idea how to do this myself
wait

cause of the shape, and texture.

You could do some neat stuff, with mesh VFX.
cedar vine
is that in studio or unity?

nice
onyx vapor
And scripting makes any effects better 😄 😄 😄
pseudo hearth
Man.. @onyx vapor
I might need to hit up scripting a bit sooner, than I expected.
@stark python
I'm sure you could re-create this with your current skill-set.
tired rivet
those of you that were interested, i think i got it(but not gradient)
i duplicated it so the light would overlap(same physics, don't worry) and halved the lifetime of the second one.
the first one(longest) you might want to lower the lightemission to 0.8 instead of 1 just to give it a somewhat nicer look.
onyx vapor
I didn't do anything in this except the scripting, but here's what I'm currently working on:

I added rolls back into the game, but they're still pretty wonky and need fixed.

pseudo hearth
lil neat effect** re-sending it.
pseudo hearth
A+ for effort, keep going!
quick fox
what should i change
pseudo hearth
Nothing, experiment around with it.
Add textures, also don't forget.
Transparency matters, when adding an transparent texture ontop of it.
So in that case, shrivel the transparency property setting to 0.2
Otherwise, you'll get a raw texture without the transparency example: left one has the property transparency: 0.2
Right one has transparency set to 0.
pseudo hearth
like, swirls of wind?
Add in this texture onto the mesh, set transparency to 0.2

I want to see the result of it.
pseudo hearth
like, swirls of wind?
Yeah, like try drawing them.
pseudo hearth
You can do it in photoshop, substance painter/designer and much more.
quick fox
i don't have photoshop :|

Also turn on doublesided, experiment with it.
pseudo hearth
in which tab in blender?
You should follow a tutorial regarding it, so far. I assume, if you want to do it in Blender you should learn to uv unwrap/wrap, and basic painting/texturing.
pseudo hearth
By the way, the standard self-made VFX with the black background doesn't really reflect onto it it will return an ugly odd-looking texture instead.
quick fox
?
pseudo hearth
So try having them transparent, just like the described image:
quick fox
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9nE2Xg6Jgk would this work?
pseudo hearth
Experiment, around with it.
pseudo hearth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9nE2Xg6Jgk would this work?
wym, with it.
You're asking me if it would work, yeah the textures would definitely work if you bake them ofcourse.
Just a tip: after you know the fundamentals, search up VFX tutorials that are related to texturing.
