    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.
