  1. Simon

    But I really like creating these kinds of small effects that just, they are just there, but people might not think of them, but they're there.

    And what else do I have?

    Oh, yeah.

    So this is like really simple effects, I guess.

    So this is just to grab the attention from the players, just like, oh, what is this over here?

    Holy shit, I better go over there.

  2. Jace

    All right, so that's the summer salute.

    Yeah.

    What does it do?

    So it's going to

  3. Simon

    like .

    But like if .

    Yeah.

    So something like that, I think.

    These kind of streaks or something you can see here.

  4. Jace

    Yeah.

  5. Simon

    Yeah, this is a beautiful mesh, okay?

  6. Jace

    It's coming, it's coming.

    Look at this mesh.

    Wow, truly incredible.

  7. Simon

    Yeah, so this is a mesh that you can see flying around like this.

    So it's basically just a material that has like, it's just panning.

    over the UVs of this.

    Right, right.

    Yeah.

    So, yeah, I just made some fucking random stuff and then I painted it with this.

    So red, you can see it where it's red and it will change a little bit of color on this stuff.

  8. Jace

    And

  9. Simon

    where it's no color, it's just going to fade out.

  10. Jace

    So are you able to show the padding of the texture?

    No, I mean, you

  11. Simon

    can see it.

    I can do it.

    So maybe it's easier to see if you do this.

  12. Jace

    You can see it

  13. Simon

    following the streaks of it like that.

  14. Yeah.

  15. Simon

    And it will spawn like the emitters that we saw earlier.

    So it will spawn one of these, and then it will spawn another one, maybe have

  16. Jace

    it

  17. Simon

    rotated, and then rotate them slowly.

  18. Jace

    And the texture padding thing, is that just along each of the leg thingies?

    Yeah.

    OK.

    Yes.

  19. Simon

    So I think I did.

    Yeah, so you can see I have a beautiful, this is like, the texture will move across here.

    So it was

  20. Jace

    moving from this.

    Ah, OK, OK, OK.

    So I

  21. Simon

    just placed them like this.

    So this one is shorter, so it will finish quicker than

  22. Jace

    the other

  23. Simon

    ones and stuff like that.
