whatq should i add

[stiff trout]

aight e2 is fair

[stiff trout]

you can put the rotation to 360,-360

[quick fox]

ohhh

i forgot taht property

existed

wtf

much btter

** You are now Level 8! **

[turbid onyx]

What is that lightning effect or sky effect?

[stiff trout]

you mean the skybox?

[split dirge]

Is this stolen?

I feel like I’ve seen this posted here before

[wise adder]

no

that mans a legend with beams

[cyan yoke]

get this man a beam

[granite sky]

Doesnt seem that hard lol

[wise adder]

doesnt mean it looks bad tho

[turbid onyx]

Can you reply to the actual message? I wanna check that out

[split dirge]

?

[turbid onyx]

Like the actual video of that beam

I wanna see tha

[turbid onyx]

What art program did you use to create that effect? Or did you just use the toolbox

Nothing a little bit of scripting can’t do

Speaking of which

Does ue cost?

I wanna start deving there

[dusky moat]

Used a bit of Photoshop for it.

[turbid onyx]

Lowkey might switch to UE that shit looks fire for vfx and it doesn’t take a script for it to play either

I can see why people use UE now

[toxic topaz]

@turbid onyx ue4 is the goat no joke but be super careful my guy it can be a little overwhelming

@turbid onyxhttps://gyazo.com/0694d16b32260b19ca452c5779e04535.mp4 my particle attempts

[severe helm]

That’s not even Roblox

[turbid onyx]

Fr though you can make 2-4 hour Roblox particles in like 5 minutes

If you did this in unreal engine it’d take you like 3 minutes

Max

And most stuff like npc ai and damage and combat systems

Idk if they requires scripts actually

I don’t think they do

[turbid onyx]

It’s all about texture and those module things

Whatever you call them

Stuff that takes scripting in Roblox studio doesn’t take any sort of code in ue

*most stuff

Like a ground break

Or emitting

UE has a blender like program inside of it to

How is this engine free

Sorry for talking about ue in a rs server I’m just so impressed by the program

[quick fox]

Dumb

Or wat

UE uses c++

But they also offered blueprints

Which is a visual scripting language

[weak wraith]

wtf

[weak wraith]

oh hi

[grave pine]

thats hiroshou dam

guys really cool

[severe relic]

Making game in group anyone wanna join??

[onyx lion]

I tried doing that but my computer couldn't handle it and now I'm using Godot 😭

[onyx lion]

I think it's backwards actually but yeah many game engines have a one shot property that allows for burst emitting

[turbid onyx]

Oof

[turbid onyx]

Maybe it does take scripting but if it does it’s a one shot situation still being easier

Or most of it is

At least

[onyx lion]

No like 3D movement, camera work, health stuff, online multiplayer, cloud saving, etc.. is already provided to you by Roblox whereas I believe unreal engine doesn't (by default). And tbh this is fine because it gives UE less limitations. It is definitely harder to do UE than Roblox but you can achieve incredible results

[turbid onyx]

Yeah I know it’s a little tougher but the results are most definitely better

[turbid onyx]

I mean health still requires a script in Roblox

You just don’t necessarily have to make it

[onyx lion]

it do be easy to code

[turbid onyx]

Yeah

Sure it doesn’t it come with the default stuff

But it’s not really hard to code those things

A health system takes maybe 10 minutes to script

No biggie

Or actually shorter than that

[nocturne zinc]

can someone give me a feedback about my attempt on doing a portal?

[quick fox]

** You are now Level 9! **

[turbid onyx]

Like 3-7 min

Making fx like that aren’t really hard in engine

[onyx lion]

I'd say

30 minutes at least

Maybe 20 idk

[merry ore]

how do you make effects

[icy rune]

go to roblox studio

go to the model thing where you union

go to effects

and click which one you want

[toxic topaz]

https://gyazo.com/111aa14eced17c5d9f0060363cc35a25.mp4 some nice afterimages fully replicated to server and rendered on clients only super efficient 🙂

[rain herald]

how did u open 2 windows as seperate players?? ive tried to do it but never figured it out

[toxic topaz]

@rain herald go to top of studio and go to test and start a local server with 2 players

it will open a server window + 2 player windows to test online / server functionality 🙂

u can do it for up to 10 players i think at once

[rain herald]

ok ty

[trim falcon]

it looks like u use fire effect

[polar ridge]

I think the fire effect isnt as wide

[humble pecan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGWfUwtAQEY HOW DO I MAKE THIS AURA EFFECT

only the one at the beginning

like a lingering effect

[severe helm]

beams

[humble pecan]

im not talking about the excailbur

im just talking about the part where she got an aura around her

[tiny wing]

How can I go about creating effects? where do I start?

[toxic topaz]

@languid lindenare those beams or particle emitters?

[onyx vapor]

Pretty nice. I can give you effects 2.

You can probably get more, but we'd need to see a little more work, and I'd have to see some other opinions from effects guys

[tiny wing]

@quick fox how did you get started with effects?

got any good tutorials or kits?

bro I wish roblox allowed external particle generators

imagine if you could import stuff from blenders particle system

or... unitys

😩

yes

oh yeah one more question

is there a plugin you use to do this or do you just use the properties tab?

@quick fox

thanks :)

[onyx lion]

Are there any game engines that can achieve something this great doe?

[tiny wing]

wdym

like better particle engines?

unity has the best particle engine in terms of simplicity and quality

though im sure professional programs are better but harder to learn

[onyx lion]

like do u know of any game engines (ex. Godot, UE, Unity) that can use a particle system from another software (like blender)

[tiny wing]

Ohhh

yeah basically only blender 💀

maybe other popular 3D software like C4D or Maya

blender just has everything because its free n open source

[onyx lion]

No I mean importing from blender, but now that you mention it. I do wonder if blender can import particles from maya

[onyx lion]

A very useful plugin is the Emit plugin

[tiny wing]

well people made plugins before that allow things from blender and roblox to be transferred

like the rig plugin

[onyx lion]

It facilitates particleEmitter:Emit() method so that you can see what your particles would look like in-game if the programmer decides to use :Emit()

It's like Godot's One shot property combined with explosiveness

[onyx lion]

I believe Roblox made that plug-in, and it was possible thanks to roblox's implementation of deformed meshes and bones into the engine (thank god)

yeah, because :Emit() will always emit a specific number of particles no matter your graphics quality, unlike automatic emition

[tiny wing]

nah im talking about this sketchy ass plugin I found that lets me import roblox rigs and joints directly into blender

💀

[humble pecan]

i swear im stuck at a brick wall rn

i keep trying to make an effect

and i keep messing up

i just started doing this recently

[carmine wolf]

Ignore this message, testing around.

[humble pecan]

it's pretty bad

but alr'

im tryna use this as reference

[quick fox]

** You are now Level 5! **

[humble pecan]

i need to make it lighter

and i don't know how to make it longer

and look like a helix of wind

im tryna make it like a helix

helix of wind that covers an invisible sword

you can see that it's like a helix

now i gotta watch tuts on how to use beams

rip

[tiny wing]

@quick fox ayo ‼️

i followed a tutorial and then made my first particle effect

its extremely mid

but it looks cool

yes

:D

Im gonna go in blender and make an animation of the character like lifting his hand up and flicking his wrist, and them im gonna see if I can script the particle to fade in and then hover above the hand

it'll be like that skyrim spell

illumination or something

dont

💀

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdazqZpz1Ao

like this but it hovers above the hand

only video i could find bro

2011 third person footage

😭

[humble pecan]

@quick fox

made this lil tornado effect

it’s incomplete rn tho

https://youtu.be/xEfFss8DTCY?t=20

im tryna make this

[onyx lion]

This type of fade effect is usually done by the VFX artist and not by the scripter, you just have to make the particle have a long enough lifetime and make it decrease in transparency then u can just use particle:Emit() on ur code

[tiny wing]

thank u :)

[humble pecan]

ye but how do I make a tornado

[stiff trout]

bro skyrim is da best game hands down

[stiff trout]

spread angle and velocity perpendicular

that’s the basis of it

[tiny wing]

time for da animation

[languid linden]

ik how to do it I just need the texture

[raw abyss]

make it by urself

learn

[toxic topaz]

@humble pecanjst use the stolen texture pack on toolbox

its got lots of textures similar to that

will be a combination of ones

its almost like smudges cloud textures and fire effects but golden

like a fluid / fire

smoke is probs ur best bet

pretty op for free

or make ur own in photoshop

[humble pecan]

oh bet

[toxic topaz]

or aftereffects for a slash or something or u could make it in substance designer

[humble pecan]

didnt know you could use after effects for that

I only use it for editing animes

[toxic topaz]

after effets is not the best for effect making but its got some nice effect modifiers for vector stuff

[humble pecan]

is photoshop any good

I got that too

[icy igloo]

somn i made

mb for the

noise

[magic elk]

fire but the sparkles should have a diff orientation

[tall whale]

true

[tiny wing]

when im making effects in studio how can I make all of them play together all animated like that

instead of making multiple elements of an animation and just hoping they work

[tall whale]

emit plug-in

[tiny wing]

it can play multiple effects in a sequence like that?

[tall whale]

yea

[keen swallow]

select all the particle emitters with Ctrl, paste this in the command bar and hit enter:

local num = 10
for i, v in pairs(game.Selection:Get()) do
v:Emit(num)
end

change num to whatever amount of particles you want per emitter

[swift wadi]

[onyx lion]

That looks pretty cool. Is it scripted? Or were u able to do that with just particle settings?

[raw abyss]

particle settings

[keen swallow]

jumping from e0 to e3 is a pretty big thing dont you think

[raw abyss]

would be cool if i knew how to script tho

[keen swallow]

are you able to aid anyone in effects

[raw abyss]

i've gotten e3 already

i asked bah to remove it cuz some people were against it

[keen swallow]

what did they say

[raw abyss]

say?

[keen swallow]

why were they against it

[raw abyss]

about removing my role?

oh

I don't know?

they said i'm not good enough

lol

[keen swallow]

it seems fine to me

the only thing is that to be e3 you need to be a reliable helper

have you helped people in the past

[raw abyss]

a lot

i even argued 💀

[keen swallow]

i hella know you argued

for 5 days straight that is

but if you get the vote from 2 eIIIs

i think u can be

but im literally not one to say, i have no roles

[raw abyss]

so yea keep it up

shut up your ranking system sucks

it actually does tho

[raw abyss]

can i get e3 or?

[weak wraith]

it just does

[balmy mist]

How so

[weak wraith]

its kinda biased

[balmy mist]

HOW SO

[weak wraith]

[balmy mist]

Seriously how is it biased

[weak wraith]

it just is

[balmy mist]

You can’t accuse something without proof or evidence

Well I guess you can

But you can’t prove your accusations

[weak wraith]

well i am not asking u to believe me tho

its just what i think

[balmy mist]

Ok

But like

[weak wraith]

[balmy mist]

What way is it biased

It’s not an argument

Atleast im not angry

[balmy mist]

♥️

[raw abyss]

it is actually

lol

[balmy mist]

K

Sorry

[weak wraith]

no one saw that right

[quick fox]

Anyone got any suggestions for something to make for practice

Haven’t been able to find smthn thats clicked yet.

[magic elk]

no

[magic elk]

Ur just mid

Straight up

[magic elk]

I got e3 on my first ever effect posted here like in 2020 before star was a thing

got star the day it was made and I rarely help anyone

[keen swallow]

things have changed since then

[magic elk]

guess the standard changed
Kinda makes no sense tho helping ppl has nothing to do w someone’s skill

[keen swallow]

if you are a master at your own craft

you are to be able to convey your skills thorough teaching

it makes sense in a way, but not everyone can

the ranks aren't all that much deterministic of your actual skill so

there's nothing much to worry about after all

[plucky pier]

is making a nuclear explosion a bit realistic as this possible?

I’m just curious

[quick fox]

Not really

[raw abyss]

alr

imo that's already e3 but i won't complain tho

what apps do u use?

to make them

[modern hemlock]

I use blender for the outside sorta air shape

And Roblox to create particles

I'll post some here this week

[crystal vigil]

no I meant the images for ParticleEmitter

and beams

[modern hemlock]

Ub

Uh

I probably would search some up

If not, i try my best making them in photopea @crystal vigil

[crystal vigil]

is kritia good

I just use photopea

how is it glowing though?

[crystal vigil]

How can I start learning to make effects?

[keen swallow]

play around with particle emitters

[crystal vigil]

how do I make the textures for them

[keen swallow]

I use krita

but you can get some from either the toolbox or internet

[crystal vigil]

i alr have kritia

[keen swallow]

great

[cyan gust]

https://gyazo.com/c1246e42b840a56cec8f02dfdb4803a8

[quick fox]

** You are now Level 1! **

[crystal vigil]

Yo guys I wanna know how did you started learning to make effects ?

[quick fox]

mess around with particles properties

and you get better

thats it

lol

[crystal vigil]

Yeah but how do I make the images

[quick fox]

post it on roblox decals

get the id

[crystal vigil]

No I mean how do you guys make images

[crystal vigil]

how does particle life time work like why is there min & max ?

does it go randomly from min to max or what?

[thick grail]

long time since i came here

my roblox studio is not opening :/

[quick fox]

** You are now Level 5! **

[keen swallow]

exactly

it picks a random value from min to max

say, min value is 2 and max value is 4

[crystal vigil]

yeh i alr went throw that

[keen swallow]

a particle might last between 2 and 4 seconds

[crystal vigil]

im practicing beams

[keen swallow]

Great

I use 2d animated effects so idk much about those but

people make insane stuff with them

[thick grail]

oh dam thats cool

[keen swallow]

I wish the textures on meshes were animatable though

[crystal vigil]

beams are 2d ?

[keen swallow]

oh no hold on

like this

[crystal vigil]

i remember i saw this clip

[keen swallow]

yea i posted it before

[crystal vigil]

oh

[crystal vigil]

yo

how do u make a line that decreases size

on kritia

[keen swallow]

a line that decreases size?

just a line?

or like this?

[crystal vigil]

hm

like

[crystal vigil]

on both side

but it needs to be perfect

[keen swallow]

you can use the line tool

[crystal vigil]

its the same size

[keen swallow]

and press the mirror icon

and draw it yourself

[crystal vigil]

there's 2

[quick fox]

** You are now Level 7! **

[keen swallow]

one is vertical mirror the other one is horizontal mirror

[crystal vigil]

ooh nice feature mirror

that'll be helpful ngl

[keen swallow]

great

[crystal vigil]

it made the drawing more perfect

but i still need it that the further the line from the center the smaller the size

[keen swallow]

i would just make the lines thinner

draw a star shape

and then fill it in

like this but smaller and then

fill

[crystal vigil]

how

[crystal vigil]

How can you draw a star shape its not there

[keen swallow]

I turn on the two mirror modifiers

get the line tool

[crystal vigil]

i alr have both enabled

i did

[crystal vigil]

they aren't clean

[cyan gust]

https://gyazo.com/89f12e183001f6ff7f4d4a709726801d

vfx for kit 1 done

bout 14 remain :D

[crystal vigil]

i just uploaded the image in roblox studio why is ther unsmooth black pixels

kritia is weird

[keen swallow]

you can use an ImageLabel and change the ResampleMode to Pixelated

[tough vortex]

Did you ever find out?

If not I can fill you in

[sleek dune]

Nope never told me

[tough vortex]

At least what I think they did

Oh alr

Basically just squashed particles lined up to form a straight line then they are reduced in size (and possibly squashed in the other direction) in order to create a fading effect

[sleek dune]

That’s actually a good idea

I’ll try it out

[dusky moat]

Normal

[keen swallow]

ive been thinking for a while but i never quite realised how this was done

can you say

[weak wraith]

drag

[crystal vigil]

?

[keen swallow]

drag?

that's it, the particles just have drag?

[keen swallow]

ImageLabels go in Guis

[crystal vigil]

yeh but you cant put a gui in workspace

[keen swallow]

insert a part

make it transparent

and put a BillBoardGui inside

[crystal vigil]

hm

i need the image to rotate

but yeh i'll try that

also

is there a full tutorial how to make effects

[keen swallow]

not one that I have found

there are tutorials on particles and beams

that you can find on youtube by just searching

but not an actual effects tutorial

for that you might have to look for unity and unreal engine ones

and try to apply the principles to roblox

[crystal vigil]

there isn't a full tutorial

the main goal is to script it

[keen swallow]

if you do

[crystal vigil]

even after using imagelabel it is't smoot

[keen swallow]

have you set the resample mode to pixelated

[crystal vigil]

oh

where

[keen swallow]

on the imagelabel

[crystal vigil]

ok

[crystal vigil]

that just makes it pixelated

[keen swallow]

that's as clean as youre gonna get it

[crystal vigil]

wt

[crystal vigil]

it isn't smooth

[keen swallow]

it will never be

that's just an issue of roblox

[crystal vigil]

oh

so it isn't kritia being too bad

[thick grail]

really bad effects:
https://streamable.com/komg20

[keen swallow]

the background explosions are real neat

the blade is somewhat confusing but its neat too

[weak wraith]

yea

mess around with speed and other settings

once u know how much drag u need

[keen swallow]

oh well what i was wondering really was how to get that shape

is it just 1 particle emitter set to sphere or

[slim grove]

I may not be the best at particles, but boy can I make a great light effect for flames

magic

you know how you can put a particle in an attachment

do that with a light

and randomize the pattern of the position and brightness by the SLIGHTEST amount

[frigid steppe]

how

[frigid steppe]

very nice STOP MOVIONG THE FUCKING CAMERA SO MUCH IM BLIND

[quick fox]

gotta hate them people who keeps moving them for no reason

[frigid steppe]

no hate

just bully them

[quick fox]

eh

[frigid steppe]

till they fall over

[quick fox]

true

[frigid steppe]

yes

[cyan gust]

timing and attatchments

but i actually discovered an easier way to do it

you just need a basic script for that

[frigid steppe]

yes

what

[cyan gust]

?

[snow trellis]

bully1!

[frigid steppe]

[frigid steppe]

i was asking what the script was good sir

[keen swallow]

ive been looking forever

to find what it was

people kept saying it was size sequences and things like that

that wasn't it

the person just uses animated images

but im still trying to find a way that is efficient

[keen swallow]

are you offsetting a texture for the fade out?

[cyan gust]

wdym

[keen swallow]

the purple guy fading out

[cyan gust]

what about it?

[keen swallow]

the fadeout for the parts

is it a cycling texture

[cyan gust]

Oh i made the erosion effect in Unity

Then exported it into images

and scrolled through 15 textures

Here is the erosion pattern

[keen swallow]

alr

i just have been looking for a long time

for a way to make textures into spritesheets

but have found nothing yet other than uploading every frame as a texture

which is somewhat inefficient but

alr thanks much

[cyan gust]

yeah so... i dont think even other engines offer sprite sheet textures for 3d models

[keen swallow]

unity does

and i think unreal too?

not sure about that one

[cyan gust]

im not sure.... it does

no that cant be a thing

You can apply moving textures on models

[keen swallow]

exactly

let me find it

[cyan gust]

but sprite sheets as textures seems impossible in all theory just because of how vertices are assigned to textures

[keen swallow]

✨Rafles✨ (@SrRafles)

Wireframe, this is just a bunch of flipbooks (main shapes are just a radial simple flipbook with the faces flipped (both share the same randomized seed, but not rendering order, black always on front). Some lightning flipbooks and dust around :) https://t.co/z6YXBTS9cG

here

they offset each frame of the spritesheet on the uv's

allowing for 3dimensionality of 2d effects

[cyan gust]

yeah so that actually uses 3 things

It uses the fact that you can scroll textures over 3d models

it uses Disolve/erosion shader nodes

[keen swallow]

ill keep looking for a way

if i dont find one i might have to go with the multiple images

[cyan gust]

for now there isnt one

[keen swallow]

offsetting textures that are put

on each side of the mesh

could be a workaround but i'd still need to see how to project them correctly

but whatever, i really hope such a feature is added

[cyan gust]

effectively you have to make that effect in unity

and then you just export the parts that use the mesh as a base

Cuz for now... there isnt an option for that

And lets be honest - probably wont be for a while, as such a simple feature as Particle flipbooks that are like unity 2009 feature is a thing roblox has been struggling to add for about 11 months now.

Roblox doesnt have primary stuff like AO map support or even RenderOnTop feature for meshes

yeah that'd be b1

[uneven hamlet]

i wanna learn effects

can someone help me

and are there any plugins that i should download beforehand

[keen swallow]

not really

mess around with particleemitters

and youll get a gist of how they work

for how to improve your vfx work, you can look at tutorials for other engines

and try to replicate them in roblox

if you want to make multiple emitters emit at the same time

select them all with Ctrl, and use this code on the command bar:

local num = 10 for _, p in pairs(game.Selection:Get()) do p:Emit(num) end

change 10 to whatever amount you want per emitter
