[gaunt aspen]

Turn ping off

[cyan gust]

no :)

[quick fox]

yo, since you're experienced what'd be the best way to create a ring, fast

not using beams or trails as that won't make it look 3D unless you know a way how

[gaunt aspen]

[quick fox]

@quick fox use a mesh

ez

[quick fox]

not the effect im looking for

[gleaming tree]

make trail but set it to facing camera

[quick fox]

Trails are stlll ass

[quick fox]

@quick fox then make something with a ring hitbox

And then add particle emmiters to invisible parta

[lucid condor]

[quick fox]

Did you make those images?

[digital fractal]

ye

[quick fox]

Damn.

Know of any place to find them online

😂

I’m not good at drawing those

How’s the performance on that

Like if a ton of players are using it

[digital fractal]

just 2 mesh

That is 3 ovals

With a few modifiers

I see no creativity

[unborn plover]

ARE U SERIOUS?

[quartz whale]

He ain’t wrong

[unborn plover]

thats amaze bro

[quartz whale]

It is like 0 creativity

[unborn plover]

but its beatiful

[quartz whale]

Lol

[unborn plover]

;-------;

[quartz whale]

You can kinda make it in like half a millisecond

[unborn plover]

so what its a creativity effect?

[quartz whale]

Check out something from vibecheck

That’s creativity

[unborn plover]

a

i understand now

[onyx vapor]

now animate it

[junior drift]

inded

[digital terrace]

Alr, lol

[stark python]

https://streamable.com/oqfkec
hammer slam thing that im probably gonna remake cuz it looks doodoo
rock meshes were from toolbox

[digital terrace]

I would add a little shake effect

[quick fox]

@digital terrace yeah what you did takes 0 effort

[digital terrace]

It took

Why shouldn’t it?

[quick fox]

Idk

It just seems low effort to me

[tacit mesa]

your mother

[quick fox]

Shut about my mom

[tacit mesa]

[digital terrace]

Is this better?

[onyx vapor]

still needs animated lol

[quick fox]

ig

but it still

isnt that interesting

[onyx vapor]

@cyan gust do you have any recommendations for other * effects artists?

[quick fox]

so what is e1

for the 100th time

if im right its just texturing beams and emitters

i can texture

but idk how to curve beams

[onyx vapor]

they're tricky. there's a LOT of settings to get things looking just right

[quartz whale]

Lmao

[onyx vapor]

e1 is basically 'can you put something in roblox using lighting, particles, beams, and/or trails?'

[quick fox]

Ok

But aren't trails scripted

[slim thorn]

nope

trails require no scripting to make it function

[quick fox]

Rly?

[hearty sluice]

Does anyone here know how to make textures a bit more randomized

than just a repeat of the same picture over and over again without difference in positioning?

[onyx vapor]

you can make textures out of a randomly generated seed

most of the stuff in the render and texture categories make randomized textures

here's one I like: render -> clouds

[buoyant ledge]

Nice

[digital terrace]

Thanks

[digital terrace]

And how about this one?

[buoyant ledge]

Wish I could do that but I’ll stick to building

And scripting

[digital terrace]

So you can script?

[buoyant ledge]

A little

Like leaderstats

Lava

[digital terrace]

Ah, alr

[onyx vapor]

that's pretty good

want ranked for it?

[digital terrace]

Yeah, please

[onyx vapor]

I can give you e1 for now.. the trail is really basic

keep working at it and see what other effects artists thing

@digital terrace this first one is pretty cool.. see if you can get another effects guy to give you 'intermediate' for it

#✅︱creations message

[digital terrace]

Alr

[digital terrace]

Okay

[digital terrace]

Alr, thank you

[digital terrace]

I have another one

Okay like this isn‘t something special

But yeah

It’s something😂

[onyx vapor]

lol... yeah... that's just scripted cloning and tweening

add some effects to it and i bet it would look good

imo, you've got some really good foundations here, just need to build on it

[quick fox]

Who have dash vfx to show ?

[digital terrace]

Do you like this one?

[onyx vapor]

that one's actually kinda plain... just cloning the effect meshes

[digital terrace]

Yeah you’re right

[digital terrace]

Here some real effects

[onyx vapor]

a little better, but still fairly basic

[digital terrace]

Hmm

[onyx vapor]

try playing with the different properties of the trails

[digital terrace]

I tried some more when I did this one

[onyx vapor]

especially look at the transparency and color number sequences

[digital terrace]

Like this?

[onyx vapor]

that one's a trail?

[digital terrace]

Yeah, it’s a trail

[onyx vapor]

ya, try messing with the transparency then

and I'd recommend actually using a texture that doesn't leave that solid border

I'm certainly not very good myself, but I made this texture for a beam recently:

here's what it looks like in action

with lousy gif compression ><

ok, that's a little better

[quick fox]

[slim thorn]

cool

[onyx vapor]

@cyan gust given the new ranking standards (2 = intermediate), do you think I've hit 2 yet? #✨︱vfx message

[quick fox]

I will get E1 today

[digital terrace]

Let’s see

[onyx vapor]

just make an effect ^^

[quick fox]

Does that count

[onyx vapor]

for mesh, yes

[quick fox]

Eee

[onyx vapor]

but to use meshes in your effects, they have to be animated

[quick fox]

I wish I added particle emitters

Cos I can't animate

[onyx vapor]

doing particles/beams/trails well will also count

[stark python]

just use moon animator 2 and make ur meshes spin and fadein/fadeout lol

[digital terrace]

particles count?

[onyx vapor]

sure

[warm quiver]

how do i make particles go spread inside the part instead of outside
so i can make it look like the part is absorbing the particle

[past sundial]

;-;

me looking for effect maker

[digital terrace]

I could make you some effects

If you pay me?

[onyx vapor]

I haven't played with that one yet... can you turn the speed negative? lol

[quick fox]

Nope, it’s to do with the placement of the particle on the decal you use

[onyx vapor]

wait, you don't put particle emitters on decals?

negative speed almost works lol

eh, at this rate it would probably be easier to write my own particle emitter for that, lol

[quartz jasper]

hey how can i make my classic sword glow

i want it neon material

[grim pecan]

@raw abyss That is sick

[raw abyss]

[grim pecan]

How did you do that

[grim pecan]

Goddamn @raw abyss how tf did u learn this

[brisk flint]

How you made the slices

[trim falcon]

Nope this is mesh

[raw abyss]

experimenting with properties

[grim pecan]

Ah

[onyx vapor]

Ok, we have a serious lack of effects artists... Only 1 * and 2 3s...

@quick fox you want e3?

So yeah, I need nominations for promotion

@raw abyss I bumped you to e3

[raw abyss]

wat

hh

tysm

[onyx vapor]

So based on your work, and a distinct lack of effects artists, I'm tempted to move you to * rank. Do you want it @raw abyss ?

[undone rain]

what can this get me

@onyx vapor

they're old

ig no new ones tho

[onyx vapor]

Hmm.. seem kinda inbetween e1 and e2 to me

@gaunt aspen hey, with the rankings rework, things are gonna be screwy in effects... we need to build up the higher rankings... do you have any suggestions for people that should be e* and e3?

[low grove]

Damn

I've been trying to make those kind of effects

But I'm just a scripter sooo

[undone rain]

thanks

[dire portal]

Rip, only 1 efx star?

Goat, do you have more examples of your work?

[onyx vapor]

i know.. I don't like this situation

[dire portal]

Yeah that does look efx 3 worthy

[onyx vapor]

i know, which is why I need to know who's the best effects guys on the server righ tnow

I think Vibe is the best by far

I haven't seen Centi's in a while at least

i know

[quick fox]

Bruh

@quick fox is e3

No cap

100% e3

Unique works

Check

Able to help other members

Most likely

Can work independently

Check

Application

Check

And it looks goos

Good

I don't know

How he isn't e3

[undone rain]

a

[delicate swan]

Is this the same for scripting?

[quick fox]

Yeah

It's the rubric

Meh

The rock placement is very bad for the type of move your making

I'd expect it to be more like spikes

https://tenor.com/view/shoto-todoroki-shouto-ice-wall-gif-19529530

With the rocks being placed kinda like this

Maybe with some to the side

Also

It would help a lit

If you emitted particles

[boreal gull]

why?

[stark python]

im gonna remake it to look more like hercules second skill 2 smite https://streamable.com/6i3ytf

[frigid steppe]

first vfx i made with particles and the texture is all made by me

[slim thorn]

nice

[frigid steppe]

thank you thank u

[quick fox]

what was the background audio

[onyx vapor]

ikr? lol

[frigid steppe]

LOL

someone said i did drugs

and i said, dont do drugs kids

[onyx vapor]

Do you want ranked for it?

@stark python you too, want ranked?

[stark python]

sure

[frigid steppe]

sure thing xd

[onyx vapor]

oh, you already have effects 1

[frigid steppe]

i made another one

[onyx vapor]

Not sure if that one's worth 2

[frigid steppe]

but i wanna add sparks to it

nah its not

dw

i usually make mesh

[onyx vapor]

that's pretty cool. I'd like to see it in action though

[frigid steppe]

ofc if i can actually get a scripter

[onyx vapor]

lol

[frigid steppe]

lol

kik

[onyx vapor]

it's not bad to learn a little bit of scripting to be able to do these things

[frigid steppe]

Wanna see something meshy i did with particles on it?

[onyx vapor]

Yours would probably look as good if not better than beanman's if you scripted it

[frigid steppe]

its not me who did the particles

[onyx vapor]

sure

[frigid steppe]

actually

i learned a bit from beanman

and he does something super long

and i am lazy

[stark python]

smh

[frigid steppe]

so not really xd

sorry

[stark python]

make slashes in unity!!!!!!

[frigid steppe]

my mesh with hiro's particle

IM LAZYYYY PLEASEEE

also my laptop space is crap

oh i forgot

[stark python]

wowowowow noob

[frigid steppe]

i had to delete cuz its for sb2

ill download it after i clear my space

yes yes

[stark python]

😎 👍

[frigid steppe]

thank u tho

i appreciate

[stark python]

np

[quick fox]

Kinda mid ngl

[frigid steppe]

fb?

[quick fox]

Yeah

It's mid

I see

Some particle emitters with size and rotation changes

And a mesh

That is bland

[frigid steppe]

I'm asking for feedback bro.

[quick fox]

Looks pretty good

[frigid steppe]

some blood ball innit

OI

ANOTHER

[quick fox]

@frigid steppe you could improve by making it convey bloood

[frigid steppe]

NAGATORO DUDE

YES

[quick fox]

Rn I just see red

[frigid steppe]

?

[quick fox]

I don't see

Variations of red

Or any flow

[frigid steppe]

flow?

[quick fox]

And if I can't feel that

[frigid steppe]

whats flow?

[quick fox]

It doesn't look like blood

[frigid steppe]

man i legit just started particles rn

idk crap

[quick fox]

Like the effect isn't flowing

[frigid steppe]

legit 10 mins ago i just started

lel

how do u make it flow?

[quick fox]

You don't

[frigid steppe]

hmm

[quick fox]

I'm on my phone rn and don't have any of my effects saved

This is without any effects btw

Can you guess what it is?

[frigid steppe]

its just meshes

[quick fox]

If I added effects it would be 100x better

[frigid steppe]

uh

the mesh is so rough

[quick fox]

Not rly

[frigid steppe]

mmm

lemme show u something

[quick fox]

It just looks like a move

[frigid steppe]

the lowest quality of a mesh can look like this with particles

[quick fox]

But can you guess the element of the moves?

[frigid steppe]

nah, looks like tori

[quick fox]

Ik

But that's bias

It's lightning

[frigid steppe]

mm

not relaly

really

its the material that does most of the work

[stark python]

who made the particles for that tornado 🥵

[frigid steppe]

hiro made the particles i made the mesh

once again

[stark python]

sheesh

[frigid steppe]

i cant show that alot

its for AL

[quick fox]

Pretty good

[stark python]

ye i had a feeling it was hiro

[quick fox]

What is AL

[stark python]

anime legends

[quick fox]

E

[frigid steppe]

mmm

[quick fox]

I can make pretty good meshes

[frigid steppe]

i just wanna learn fricking particles

[quick fox]

Basically

[frigid steppe]

so i can stop relying on people

[quick fox]

Just screw around

With everything

[low grove]

@frigid steppe Yo

[quick fox]

Until it works

[low grove]

That looks really cool

[frigid steppe]

thanks

[low grove]

The tornado

[stark python]

particles 🤮
decals on meshes 😎

[frigid steppe]

whatt

what if

[quick fox]

Also what I made was like 1 month ago

[low grove]

I have no clue how to do effects

I only do scripting

[frigid steppe]

particles + decal on mesh =

[low grove]

I'm tryna learn how to do effects tho

[stark python]

🥵

[frigid steppe]

🥶

sexy

[quick fox]

That's laggy

[frigid steppe]

oh?

[low grove]

Yeah

[frigid steppe]

lol

[low grove]

I know how to script things

[frigid steppe]

u saw the tornado

ah crap

[low grove]

But I dont know how to do effects

And yeah I did

[quick fox]

Just a question

Is the tornado gonna be a high end move

Cos it's kinda underwhelming

[low grove]

The tornado

Looks really good

[frigid steppe]

idk i was just commissioned

[low grove]

Im not gonna lie

[quick fox]

E

Kinda basic mesh

Ngl

[frigid steppe]

also why is that the only work i see

[low grove]

Well, most likely its because I dont know what good effects look like

[frigid steppe]

that vid of u walking around ur meshes

[frigid steppe]

me either

[quick fox]

Because

[magic elk]

facts

[quick fox]

It's the only one I have posted

[magic elk]

this dude has only reposted the same meshes and somehow has e1 now

[quick fox]

Skill issue

Mad cos bad

[magic elk]

im literally 2 ranks above u wth

and its gonna be 3 soon

[quick fox]

Mad cos bad

Rly gonna cry

Ez

[frigid steppe]

enma, teach me so i can steal ur job

like not teach

but gimme fb and tips

[magic elk]

bruh he so mad because i told him he reposts meshes

QUIT THE GAME

[frigid steppe]

lel

[quick fox]

Basically

[magic elk]

@frigid steppe i dont teach but just dm me if u need help wit somethin

[frigid steppe]

[magic elk]

also u have a huge advantage

[quick fox]

Just make it look like whatever you are copying

And make it rly obvious about what it is

[magic elk]

u can wrap decals around meshes which is the best way to do stuff

[frigid steppe]

i do no references

[quick fox]

And what it does

[frigid steppe]

i make things from my mind

only

[magic elk]

what the hell is this azkron kid

[low grove]

Actually @frigid steppe

[magic elk]

talking about

[frigid steppe]

?

[low grove]

How did you make things like that tornado?

[quick fox]

Look above

[frigid steppe]

blender mesh

[quick fox]

At the red thing

[low grove]

Is it meshes along with effects?

[quick fox]

"blood"

[stark python]

ye it was

[magic elk]

@frigid steppe let me c the tornado

[stark python]

it was meshes with beams and particles

[frigid steppe]

mk

@magic elk u got 10 secs

[low grove]

I get like the core of the tornado

[quick fox]

Wait

[low grove]

But not the actual

[quick fox]

Aah

I see

[low grove]

Spiral thing surrounding it

[quick fox]

3 or so meshes

For the tornado

[stark python]

the spirals r beams

[quick fox]

Beam

For the core

[frigid steppe]

all mesh

[quick fox]

And particles around it

[frigid steppe]

its mesh

[stark python]

what

[frigid steppe]

LOL

[stark python]

no im talking about like the bright light thing

[frigid steppe]

ITS MESH

[stark python]

spiraling on the outside

[frigid steppe]

the spiral

yh

its mesh

[low grove]

EVERYTHING is a mesh?? @frigid steppe

[frigid steppe]

yes

[low grove]

Well like

[quick fox]

Nope

[frigid steppe]

bro

[low grove]

Damn

[quick fox]

I c what you did there

[frigid steppe]

i didnt know how good particles would look on a mesh

[stark python]

nah bro thats not mesh i saw beams 🥱

[frigid steppe]

so before i knew of particles

i used to make my mesh

look the best it could

on its own

[quick fox]

@stark python the mesh is the rotating lighter parts

[stark python]

ik

[low grove]

Im tryna make a lightning bolt

[quick fox]

The particles are around it

[frigid steppe]

NAH BRO ITS MESH

[low grove]

But it looks really bad

Lmao

[quick fox]

The beam is in the middle

[frigid steppe]

OHHHH

I SEE THE BEAMS

ITS SO TRANSPARENT

[quick fox]

Yeah

It isn't that hard

Or that impressive

[low grove]

It impressed me

[frigid steppe]

ehhhh

[low grove]

I mean I cant really talk

[quick fox]

I might make an effect

[low grove]

Considering I dont even do effects

[frigid steppe]

WAIT

CHOO

LIKE

[quick fox]

Worthy of scripting 3

[frigid steppe]

BUILDER CHOO?

[quick fox]

E3

And some other stuff

Just to flex

[low grove]

E3??

[quick fox]

Yeah

[low grove]

I dont know how this server works if I'm being honest

[quick fox]

A3

Probably as well

[frigid steppe]

i dont like this server's ranking system but its alright ig

[magic elk]

rank hierarchy

[quick fox]

Not rly

It's fine

[magic elk]

star is highest
1 is lowest

[quick fox]

It does that it needs to

[frigid steppe]

now back to how to make this thing look better

[quick fox]

So

Idk what to kake

[stark python]

enma give me star now!!!!

[magic elk]

wth is tht

[quick fox]

@frigid steppe dude that isn't blood

[frigid steppe]

some blood ball

[magic elk]

bruh i need to get star first
might get it soon

[frigid steppe]

like a spirit ball kinda

[magic elk]

mmm
u could put some particles in the middle

to resemble blood

[quick fox]

Not rly

[frigid steppe]

right

[magic elk]

like

[quick fox]

It isn't shaded like blood

[stark python]

are centi and vibecheck the only e star rn

[quick fox]

And it is way too bright

[frigid steppe]

how tf do u shade a particle?

[magic elk]

yea
wt are the requirements for e star anyways

[frigid steppe]

better?

[stark python]

the last one ig?

[quick fox]

https://tenor.com/view/kyoukai-no-kanata-anime-blood-sword-gif-15126837

Idk what that is from

[frigid steppe]

its

[quick fox]

But those colours work

[frigid steppe]

oni

thing

yhyh

good telling me that

[quick fox]

Blood doesn't glow

And it ely

[frigid steppe]

but how do i achieve that effect

;-;

[quick fox]

Needs to look like it is flowing

[magic elk]

???

[frigid steppe]

AND

[magic elk]

dude what the hell

[frigid steppe]

HOW

DO

U ACHIEVE THAT EFFECT BOI

[magic elk]

why is bahamut ranking effects

[frigid steppe]

xd

[magic elk]

also the requirements make no sense either

[quick fox]

You need a better texture

[frigid steppe]

rght

right

[magic elk]

@frigid steppe put an attachment in the middle

[quick fox]

You need spiralling effects

[magic elk]

copy the part position and paste it into the part

[frigid steppe]

one of the textures

[quick fox]

Beyond the boundary

[frigid steppe]

for the first thing

[quick fox]

And you probably need some semi transparent meshes with decals

@frigid steppe not circular

More like

[magic elk]

no like

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/811837591354998784/841197706156572752/5e4IVf1ETS.mp4

this weird fireball thing

[frigid steppe]

oo

[magic elk]

has an attachment in the middle right

[frigid steppe]

how do u make it move like that?

o?

[magic elk]

and its just a static particle

with the sequence going from 0 to like 5

[frigid steppe]

OOO

SEE

[magic elk]

yea

[frigid steppe]

THATS SOME REAL HELP

[magic elk]

and make it dark

[frigid steppe]

NOT "MAKE IT FLOW"

[magic elk]

give it some envelope too

use envelopes alot

[frigid steppe]

right

thats a beam right?

[quick fox]

.

Beams are also good

[low grove]

@magic elk Have you made lightning bolts with effects before?

[magic elk]

no theyre just particles

[magic elk]

yes

[frigid steppe]

..

[stark python]

no envelope is the randomness thingy in number sequence editor

[quick fox]

** You are now Level 8! **

[frigid steppe]

so its emmitter?

[low grove]

Is it difficult?

[quick fox]

@magic elk have you made any generic dark force powers before

[frigid steppe]

oh

not me

[magic elk]

@frigid steppe yea like this

[magic elk]

yes

[frigid steppe]

a

[magic elk]

ive made pretty much evetything

[frigid steppe]

oh

[magic elk]

but i delete a ton of my work

[quick fox]

Show me

[low grove]

I was tasked with doing it, despite them not listening to me about being only a scripter

[magic elk]

i can only remember like 1 dark power ive made

[quick fox]

Some generic lightning powers

[stark python]

u can try quasiducks lightning module even tho it is a little bit overused it still looks pretty good

[magic elk]

no

[quick fox]

https://tenor.com/view/toaru-kagaku-no-railgun-t-railgun-misaka-mikoto-anime-a-certain-scientific-railgun-gif-16023786

[magic elk]

lightning is the most basic thing to make with particles

[quick fox]

I will make this

[magic elk]

i dont like the lightning module

[quick fox]

But even more epic

[low grove]

@magic elk Keep in mind I've never done anything with particles and beams before

[magic elk]

it goes againts my entire style and personally i think its overrated

and awful

yea but lightning is still really basic

its way easier than it looks

[low grove]

Hmm

[quick fox]

Meshes are best way to make lightning

[magic elk]

^

absolutely not

LO

[stark python]

i think the lighting module looks pretty good its just that people over use it way too much

[quick fox]

Change my mind

[magic elk]

meshes with lightning

[low grove]

Meshes?

[magic elk]

that aint running in no game LOL

[low grove]

That would be uh

[frigid steppe]

how do u use a particle emmiter with it?

[quick fox]

Dude

Not constantly changing meshes

[low grove]

@magic elk Do you know any good tutorials for learning how to do effects?

[magic elk]

generic lightning things made using only particles

particles are the best way to make lightning

especially with the new orientation

[magic elk]

also theres almost none

theres like literally no good particle tutorials

[low grove]

Damn

[quick fox]

Nah

Using particles for lightning

[low grove]

Guess I'm out of luck then

[quick fox]

On a large scale

[magic elk]

all the good people are self taught

[quick fox]

Feels super cheap

[magic elk]

using particles for lightning is the best way to do it

[stark python]

except for lightning beams i think for lightning beams parts/module is better

[magic elk]

meshes are gonna lag and scripting it seems incredibly frustrating

[stark python]

or just beams themselves

[magic elk]

not beams

beams are awful for lightning

[low grove]

They are?

[quick fox]

Meshes are viable

[magic elk]

way too looped and unnatural
id say particles is the best way
maybe with some meshes but particles should be the focal point

[quick fox]

They are just hard to execute

[low grove]

I would imagine like making two attachments and adding a beam

[magic elk]

yea beams in general are iffy but for lightning theyre awful

[low grove]

For lightning

[quick fox]

Like

Meshes + beams

Is the way to go

Because only using meshes is extremely racist

[magic elk]

here

the lightning is made usig only particles

[quick fox]

And only using particles is feminist

[magic elk]

using meshes wouldve been way too excessive

[quick fox]

Ik

But that's a sky beam

[stark python]

does it look normal from all angles?

[magic elk]

thats literally a lightning bolt waht the fuck

[quick fox]

Using meshes would be rly rly hard

[low grove]

Damn

[magic elk]

also yea
new orientation carried

[stark python]

sheesh

even from top?

[quick fox]

I'm talking about stuff like this

[magic elk]

idk about the top but u can probably just put some facingcam particles to fix that anyways

[quick fox]

https://tenor.com/view/toaru-kagaku-no-railgun-t-railgun-misaka-mikoto-anime-a-certain-scientific-railgun-gif-16023786

[frigid steppe]

ok i did it but its not staying in the middle, instead its rising up, any tips?

[quick fox]

** You are now Level 10! **

For first part definitely particles

[magic elk]

put the speed at 0

[quick fox]

Maybe some meshes

[frigid steppe]

love this

[frigid steppe]

[magic elk]

thxc :3c

[quick fox]

For second part using meshes is necessary

Otherwise it looks fake

[magic elk]

also idk who asked me for like dark powers

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/825667323973074994/839953272198135868/343r2I8AKA.mp4

but this is all i could find

[frigid steppe]

its looking cool yk

[frigid steppe]

THIS IS FUCKING SEXY

[quick fox]

how tf are their point lights so good

[low grove]

Looks nice!

[quick fox]

im confused

[quick fox]

enma with the bangers

[frigid steppe]

im referencing that

for later

[magic elk]

good coloring carries

litearlly everytning

[frigid steppe]

[quick fox]

@magic elk can I guess

[magic elk]

whjt

[quick fox]

Did you set z axis lower for the darker parts and then make them bigger

[magic elk]

thxc :3cc

bruh what

[low grove]

Ima focus on something simple

[magic elk]

z axis???

[quick fox]

you only drop bangers. Blessing my eyes

[magic elk]

idk if u mean offset

[quick fox]

Yeah

Offset

[magic elk]

but i just made the purple higher priority

[quick fox]

M

.

[magic elk]

its a really basic aura
just good coloring

[quick fox]

Wair

What is priority

I need to take note for future auras

[magic elk]

higher offset value

black would be -.125
purple would be .25

purple is higher value and above so its higher priority

[quick fox]

how do you change the offset value

https://tenor.com/view/ichigo-kurosaki-power-bleach-gif-15814433

[magic elk]

here

[quick fox]

@magic elk yeah that's what I said

oh okay thank you

[magic elk]

it should be at the bottom

[quick fox]

Z offset is priority

[magic elk]

then yea tht

[quick fox]

I set mine to things like 0,-5,-10

For smaller auras

[magic elk]

thats way too much

-5 and -10 would make it nearly unvieable in some cases

[quick fox]

?

[frigid steppe]

r u still working for 25th?

[quick fox]

Idk

[magic elk]

also no the black clover game died

[quick fox]

So

[frigid steppe]

ight

[quick fox]

Shud I set it to over -5?

[magic elk]

subtracting even the slightest value can give it the same effect

no

[quick fox]

Rly?

So shud it be smaller differences?

Wait

[magic elk]

yea like if u put 2 particles and the offset .01 and .02 the one with .02 is still gona be way above the one with .1 even though its just a single number difference

[quick fox]

Oh I get it

It's in studs

And these are 2d objects

Time to make the differences .05

[magic elk]

i like to go by .125

[quick fox]

I generally prefer .05

Because that is 1/20th

So I can have 20 particles

In the space of 1 stud

Aka

I make the 3090s feel like they are on potatoes

Like the rest of us

Enma me reading this conversation is helping me a lot @magic elk thanks for the info

[frigid steppe]

ofc

he is gud

[magic elk]

np :3c

[quick fox]

Yes he is goated

i make sure to let them know

[frigid steppe]

yes yes

[onyx vapor]

Because there's no one else to rank them.

[magic elk]

ok ill rank

:3

[onyx vapor]

I think you're the first rank 3+ to even speak up

[magic elk]

wym

also whatrer the requirements for star rank

[onyx vapor]

@magic elk https://docs.google.com/document/d/1owWUu1r5RWTVKtwEb7_zACSiwncYqBGo12Py2X1hMyU/edit

[quick fox]

Is there a way to do custom hitbox shapes

Yeah

There's this thing

Called

Make the shape out of parts

Damn, I knew that. Was talking about an easier way, obviously.

[frigid steppe]

suppose u want one rate for a long time, how would u go about doing that?

[magic elk]

ok where is my star rank

[quick fox]

There is no other way

Cringe

[magic elk]

wdym

[quick fox]

I think he means

Particles

[frigid steppe]

m

nvm

figured it out abit

but then how would u have still particles?

like not moving particles

[quick fox]

Set speed to 0

[magic elk]

^

[frigid steppe]

thanks

[quick fox]

According to the rubric

I could probably get e2

Or e3

I just can't be assed

[onyx vapor]

@magic elk lemme see your work

[magic elk]

bruh all youve posted is mesh

[quick fox]

To make effects

[magic elk]

just lok at my messages

[quick fox]

Dude that was over a month ago

[magic elk]

ok let me c ur work now

[quick fox]

I rly just need to script my shit

[magic elk]

u can get ranked without scripting

[frigid steppe]

if u really wanted to compare mesh work

u could call me

[quick fox]

https://tenor.com/view/a-certain-scientific-railgun-coinflip-misaka-mikoto-gif-5526944

@magic elk not rly

[frigid steppe]

i wanna make that

[magic elk]

that looks doable without scripting

???

[quick fox]

Scripting makes effects look better

[magic elk]

this kid is sky fucking high bro

LOL

[frigid steppe]

shockwaves and a particle

[quick fox]

And therefore

You would be marked up

[magic elk]

the shockwave can be covered by the orientation update

[frigid steppe]

lightning particle

ez

[quick fox]

Dude

I'm thinking way bigger

The lightning, it isn’t shown here, but it strikes surrounding stuff, I’ve been trying to figure out that type of lightning too

That just a shockwave a beam and some lightning

[magic elk]

but youve still only posted some meshes which are hard to see with the crappy lighting

[quick fox]

The lighting is fine

It is infact

Extremely good

https://gyazo.com/9617692ca29beede4f379eb7836f3ece

[magic elk]

its way too blurry and saturated

waht the hell are you smoking

[quick fox]

Say that at night

[magic elk]

???
if its that good it looks good regardless of time

[quick fox]

Also

That was temporary

[magic elk]

but it looks like a mess
only roblox didnt do it much justice either it looks really noisy in some areas

[quick fox]

And was me messing around with lighting effects

[magic elk]

ok let me c ur actual work

and i will rank u

[frigid steppe]

a

[quick fox]

Ok

https://tenor.com/view/troll-stick-figure-dancing-gif-5259835

[frigid steppe]

https://tenor.com/view/its-the-exact-same-thing-ian-carter-the-same-similar-equal-gif-16516466

[magic elk]

he literally has no work to show

[quick fox]

Fr lmao

[magic elk]

💀

[quick fox]

And he’s talking like he knows it all 🤦‍♂️

💀

[magic elk]

^

[quick fox]

I'm a one trick pony

[magic elk]

ok

[quick fox]

And I do a lot of trolling

[magic elk]

@onyx vapor hello

can u remove azkrons e1 rank

idk how he has e1

[quick fox]

I just haven't made any new effects

[magic elk]

i can find a trillion replicas of the work u just posted for free on the toolbox

[frigid steppe]

a

[quick fox]

#madcosbad

[magic elk]

simply a difference in skill

[quick fox]

On your part

The skill issue

Can only be found

In your side of the planet

[magic elk]

wth are u saying

[quick fox]

VFX lol

I'm saying

[magic elk]

@onyx vapor can u give me star and ill write a new document for effects

[quick fox]

In racist

Nah

You don't deserve star

[onyx vapor]

Eh, the meshes themselves are enough to show a very basic understanding effects... he's been asking for more but I won't give it to him based on just meshes

[magic elk]

why does he even have e1

[onyx vapor]

Because "Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced/Expert"

[magic elk]

[quick fox]

Give enma star

[magic elk]

^

[quick fox]

They are poggers

[magic elk]

faxs

plus i need to write a dcoument

[quick fox]

Hey, how do you make point lights better lol

[magic elk]

so i can stop people like azkron from getting free roles

idk lights on roblox

are really tedious

[onyx vapor]

rank 1 is basically a free role anyway

[quick fox]

Sad

[magic elk]

like the shadows and stuff
but i would recommend good coloring

good coloring carries like everythjing

[quick fox]

Is this roblox

I didn't get a free role

[magic elk]

yea

ok now that i am estar

[quick fox]

That point light looks cool

I'm just too lazy

To make any effects

[magic elk]

im on my way to write the most difficult ranking doc for fx :3c

[onyx vapor]

you can't

you have to follow the standards in the doc

[frigid steppe]

improved?

[onyx vapor]

Beginner
Has shown interest in the subject and demonstrates the very basics. Often learns by copying other examples, but has somewhat of a grasp of what is going on.

Intermediate
Shows better understanding of the processes involved in the subject. May not be  able to create unique works, but can put individual touches in. Still needs guidance from more experienced members.

Advanced
Can work independently to create unique works. Shows solid understanding and application of necessary principles underlying the subject, enough to assist less skilled members. 

Expert
Has mastered the subject matter to create works held up to be the gold standard in that particular category. Understands the category fully on both a theoretical and practical level. Seen as teachers and authorities on the server.

[quick fox]

Lag

Detected

[magic elk]

-crys

[frigid steppe]

HEY I WAS RANKED WRONG THEN

[magic elk]

thats so vague tho

[magic elk]

like it has no technical requirements within studio

[frigid steppe]

crap

i recorded it in bad quality

[quick fox]

Nah

I can see

Everything there

It's mid

And underwhelming

[onyx vapor]

I know. That was the problem. So much argument over artistic differences that we decided there's no way to have a set rubric for each category

[quick fox]

Nah

It's easy

Just have understanding

And skill

[frigid steppe]

there

better quality

[magic elk]

damn

[quick fox]

YOURE talking about mid?
