[WIP] Freezing hell

[kirahirasai]

I think it is possible though it will definitely increase the shader complexity. But it should be tolerable as long as you don't spawn more than 2 into a level ( I tested it with 5 and got no framedrops, but I want to be on the safe side).

Hi, kirahirasai

I enjoyed the ice and lava evolution.
Is it possible to animate the lava using panner, apply normals and displacements, has power and seed parameters?

So, here is the promised update video:

Take care!

Hello again

I know, what you mean. I made a effect similar to that, but the decal system is limited. Jagged spreading will probably be not possible I'm afraid. I will try it though, but please keep in mind that there is a high possibility that it won't work.

Still, I made some progress despite being busy with my other project. I can't just let you guys down . I will also add something, which you probably will like. I will call it "Age and die". This will be a decal system, which applies age effects on several materials .

And I enhanced the ice effects too. I will post an update video in the next days, maybe even tomorrow.

Take care guys!

On the edge of the material change, instead of sudden ice or a gradient, have some areas spreading faster than others. Either be large round variations for something like lava flowing or jagged spreading for sudden freezing: http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/t/ice-edge-28315685.jpg not necessarily a jagged pattern on the ice or snow itself, just the edge.

Hello again

A question for _cDub: What do you mean with "fringe to the edges of the blend?". Can you post a picture?

2nd thing: Jagged patterns are planned. I will probably use a texture and overlay it on the whole material.

[kirahirasai]

Yes, cDub is right. I intend to release it for free. I will enhance some effects too, but for now I'm not able to work on the pack. But it shouldn't take too long, when I work further on the project .

[_cDub]

He said it wasn't going on the marketplace, free download instead. And this is the first time I have seen this thread, this looks cool! It would be nice if you could add some fringe to the edges of the blend. Especially jagged patterns for ice.

Hi kirahirasai

You are quitting this project?
I was looking forward to see it on Marketplace!!!!

Sorry for the late response . I have been busy creating a pretty interesting project and it took a lot of thought and effort to get the concept right.

I wanted to show an update video, which sadly was delayed through above reasons. I will certainly do one, when I'm working on it again and am satisfied with the result. I don't want to get you a shoddy pack .

Because I love you guys and this great community, I decided to NOT place it on the marketplace. I find it pretty restricting in some regards. But that is no bad news for ya, I swear!

It will therefore be available for everyone. It will be a free download. I can't give you a release date, because I have to finish up something first. After that is done, I will probably complete the pack^^.

There will be some new things available like :

Necrospread: Spreads bones and slimy goo around the impact zone (with some slight fog over the ground)


If anyone is interested in my other project, I can give you a little 3d model artwork. You may have seen it somewhere... :

Connect it to the term "game" and you should have a hint, what I do .

Anyways, have a nice day!

That looks pretty cool kirahirasai!

Hi, kirahirasai

My anxiety and curiosity to see this is killing me.

[kirahirasai]

Thanks you all for your interest! I plan on making an update video in a couple of days.

@luny: I am working on it and it looks pretty nice .

[lunyBunny]

Very Cool!!! Now we need an opposite effect, a very cracked and viscous hellish magmatic incandescent effect including lava bubbles spraying lava particles when erupts, sulfur fumes with an intense heat refraction and diabolical flames.

I would buy it, if i didnt use it id **** sure play with it lol
