Nice icons, if anyone is wants to try TaVFX (Torso-Aligned VFX) TAD's Quivers could make a great starter base...

Yeah. I really need to get on the template scenes for Torso-aligned VFX ;-P Quivers and scabbards and backpacks, oh my!

For anyone that likes those quivers, I plan on updating them in the very near future now that my model-making skills have improved.  They'll just be getting some improved shapes (mostly just more rounded and slightly higher-poly), so it'll be easy to drop the new models into haks and just overwrite the current ones that are a little boxy.

And yes, those quivers might make a good starting point for positioning new VFX.  In your modelling software, open up a default human/dwarf/etc. model (some of the NPCs have nodes in the right places).  Then import a matching race+gender quiver and move the aurora base for the quiver to the exact coordinates of the impact node for the humanoid model.  Make your model, then move your aurora base for the VFX back to 0, 0, 0 (after deleting out all the stuff for the humanoid model).  This should get you a properly positioned VFX for that race+gender.

I'm kinda hoping to put together a template scene for TaVFX like we did for heads, so the dummy torso/head/arms (to show clipping) are positioned *just so* and the impact node and template aurorabase is at 0,0,0.

Then Makers could load the template scene (save it under a new name!), unhide the race/gender they are working on, build their model at 0,0,0, link it to the template base (and rename base) and export it out.

Unlink it from that base, hide that template, unhide the next race/gender template, adjust, link, rename, export. Rinse. Repeat ;-)

What do you think?

Big C! Dude! You are so awesome! It's the *7th* and I can't even keep up with the content!

And that wormy head! I've been wanting a Lord of Worms avatar for the CCC (as soon as he emails me his content! *nudge*) and, with his permission/cooperation, that would be so cool =)

Really liking the flowers, too. Sylvi'a will use those in her Spring aspect, I think. Far better than the crown of thorns I built into her model for Winter :-/

Used NW Explorer to recolor PLT-TGA better on goggles

I love the goggles vfx. I already got a need for those. How about some cybernetic type head vfx's? Respirators, eyes, etc?

few suggestions for HaVFXs:
- Guy Fawkes mask
- false beard/mustaches
- piercings

Suggestions for non head accessories: wrist/hand jewelry - bracelets, bangles, cuff bracelets, gauntlets, rings.

Using vfx for bracers would work too... For 3 or 4 forearms that shares the same mesh

<hating it...>

Unfortunately, unless we can find a way to re-use the monster nodes, we have only two VFX nodes to attach things to - Head and Impact (torso). All other customization needs to be implemented as bodyparts/armor. Edit: or robes, tails, wings or cloaks.

If any of these submissions are released before the cc is complied... *grabby hands*

[Jenna WSI]

Actually they're a different model if you look at them, long and curling around the side of the head.

You guys made me curse when I saw the horns and kiseru. Seriously.

These are the side horns I saw in CEP.

Yup look like same tiefling horns moved to the side of head.
They might also look cool moved to face foreward as well,
the more options builders can give players the better i say

I've uploaded version 0.02 (Human Male & Female only so far) of the Torso-aligned VFX Template to the CC Maker's Reference. Anyone want to make some TFX, give it a try ;-)

Load the scene.
Hide all but the race/gender combo you want to work on.
Build your TFX.
Link it to the tfx_xxxxxxxx_*race/gender initials* aurorabase
Unlink the aurorabase
and
Save the aurorabase.

Feedback *essential* ;-)

Hmmm... Only have gmax...



Idea: VFX Builder Base MDL files.

For gmax (or any other) users, make a  simple base node with a guide model set to non-render. (head/torso/race/gender)



That way ppl could just import the mdl into G-Max, rename the node, design the new VFX, and test placement, deleteing the guide mdl when finished.

Also bald HaVFX bases are great for adding hair, but it would also be nice to have ones with the base 1 heads with hair too, for making hats, hood, helmets, etc that reasonably cover short haircuts...

Random feedback on Aligned "VFX-cessories":

Placement: Heads and Torso/Back only ATM (due to tech limits)

Eye-patches: Attepted to convert four different versions, the main issue is getting them to line up correctly.

Most existing eye-patches are buried into a specific head model, and when converted do not line up on other head models, they are either buried or too far out...

Jewelry : Facial Piercings, Earrings, etc... Tried pirate earrings, simple "studs" , nose piercings, tribal bones-thru-nose, same alignment issues, too much variety in head mdls to align up right beyond base head...

Mustaches, Beards, Eyebrows, Widows Peaks, Hair Streaks, Etc: Same alignment issues.

CODI Dusty Goggles: Thinking of making a "construction kit" for designers, with a plt that designers can use to custom color goggles via nw-explorer PLT functionality.

Quantity: Right now focusing on making as many as possible, so most will be for 1 or 2 races or genders...

Mostly humans ATM, but happy to make variants. Full sets planned for 2.0.

ASAP Designer Goal: Making a Rolo Inspired Builder Base, All races/genders with base 1 heads, + invisible guides for eyes, mouth & center of head to help align new effects easily.

For monster heads I made a simple scale table, were once you have the base male head, you can then just scale and reposition all other race and gender heads by simply by tinkering with numbers in the ascii mdl with a text editor.

Once we have a VFX scale table, it could be automated like the armor scaler

Script Support: As simple as possible.



All ideas/feedback welcome, working on cybernetics next
