Daniel Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hello, I always wanted to know how to create those "flashy" explosions like in Sonic XG and Tails Adventure 2. Can somebody help please? Person who helps will get repped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streak Thunderstorm Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Look for some explosions from Metal Slug. They're pretty flashy and articulate. Also, create some debris from the enemy as though it had blown to pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rael0505 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Firey explosions and stuff use ink effects. If you're using MMF2, give them an ADD effect. After that it's just programming them to shoot outward/bounce off things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 With a simple fastloop you can also add loads of similar 'pieces' to fly off in a circle, making it look just like fireworks. If you have the Flame Object (MMF2) try fiddling with it, but beware, if you abuse of it, the framerate will drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streak Thunderstorm Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Yes, DNL, that's the one I use for Mecha Madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Oh, TGF2 doesn't support extensions. You can still do the fastloop stuff, though. Fastloops are in the Special Object. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarkSS Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 A fastloop would have made that so much more tidy and flexible. =/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron C-T Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Too much effect? Or maybe it looks less completely transparent in motion? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I wasted 5 minutes of my time doing the messy way... Thanks LarkSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarkSS Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 @Scatta: The metal gear solid explosion isn't really optimized for an ADD effect, so it doesn't look at great when it's used. If he made his own explosion though, he could take advantage of the effect and make it look considerably better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Well, back again... I really was comfy with Streak's choice... But, I really wondered how to do this: What do I do to accomplish this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
