need help making an effect

[zinc field]

anyone willing to help?

[maiden galleon]

there are good tutorials on portal effects

I'd start there

[zinc field]

it isnt really a portal effect that i need
i need more of a spinning outwards effect
dont know how to combine the 2 in a good way (extremely new at particles)

1. Draw the actual swirling effect in a paint program of your choosing. Doesn't actually need to look good.

2. Throw it in a particle system as a unlit quad or maybe a mesh if don't want to billboard the particle.

3. Add some rotation over lifetime to get that swirling effect.

You can also make a shader if you want something a little more lively, which will give you some rotational look to it.

ill try that and see what it looks like

[lucid solar]

Something like that but with the swirling

or just use a particleStrip with Rotate3D plugged in to the SetPosition .. no textures needed 🙂

[zinc field]

Particlestrip is a component i assume?

clamp the Y axis so it will just rotate the x n z axes... like orbital movemment

you're on your own after this.. goodluck
