A really COOL lightning effect for wz4!

A really COOL lightning effect for wz4!

Postby Skinnytorus » Saturday, 26.October 2013, 07:53

Hi!
I came across this xna lightning tutorial: http://gamedev.tutsplus.com/tutorials/i ... g-effects/
I wonder if it's possible to implement that in wz4? It would be super cool to have such lightning effect among wz4 tools. Thank you.

I'm not sure, but imho it should better be a bitmap operator. This way it can be easily used as an animated sprite texture. What do you think of that?

what is should be cool too, is to create a lightnings between random particles points in a particle emitter. between 2 points it create the lightning sprite with the good scale relative to distance. this is how is made the logo I think.
