FXWars! Avalanche!: LightFreeze

a) you have some flickering when your particles die… don’t know if that’s WIP or what, but I thought I’d mention it.

Thanks ,I hadn`t noticed that, too busy looking at the mass to notice the edges

b) I think the cloud looks TOO big compared to the small “center” that travels down the mountain. My advice would be either make the cloud smaller, or make the “center” wider.

dont know about this I think my dimensions are not too far from my main ref clip

Hi Digiman I`m using lightwave and the busy frames are about 4 min each

Next clip brings in some destruction but I still havent dealt with the poping when the particles die and because this is the first time Ive used HardFX the way I`ve constructed this makes it hard to tweak without throwing other things out.

Im not happy with the way it looks(its certainly not the way it looked in my head before I started) and feel it might be best to use what little knowledge Ive gained on mixing particles with HardFX and starting again

Hey there.

You’ve really nailed the “look” of the main cloud. :thumbsup:

It looks cool when it topples the tree.

Main gripe is how the particles appear to come out under the house, before they topple it. -And I think it looks a bit weird that the bottom of the house topples first, but that’s propably because your avalanche emitters skate on the ground, and don’t bounce, right?

Looking good,

That was one of my problems, I couldnt get particles to move any geometry so all the demolision is done by an invisible collision object, it works but it doesn`t look accurate:shrug:

OK final entry

managed to tweak a few things however there is still a lot of problems in it but its gonna have to do
