MikeClarke Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 This is probably an odd query, I was looking at the viability of my second project idea, which I would love to use LE3 for. So I have 1 query, I dont need a you do it this way, or whatever just a yes/no would be fine. I would be looking to have weapon fire like a particle effect but made from a model (or including a model) that is animated. I would still to using a particle emitter but since their isn't a dedicated particle editor I think using an animated model would do just as good on the gfx quality scale.

beo6 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 i don't really see your question but there is a particle editor. And you can use animated models too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I would construct a plane with the surface command set, then scale it to be long and skinny, and move it through the air for each tracer. You would only need about one in five bullets to be a visible tracer. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

cassius Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 In ww2 in British army only one bullet in 5 WAS a tracer. So it would be historically correct Quote amd quad core 4 ghz / geforce 660 ti 2gb / win 10 Blender,gimp,silo2,ac3d,,audacity,Hexagon / using c++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeClarke Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 It's not specifically for bullets, this is for my other game idea just testing the feasability of it. It's more like spell tracers etc Quote Operation Mosquito Recruiting 3d Modeller/Animator. (pm if interested) It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can do only a little.

Josh Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 A one-shot particle emitter with directional particles would be good for that. All the properties are available in the editor.
