[WIP] > [FND] Player Glow

Post by Asmageddon »

It is red only, so it can be easily recolored, it have got 5 frames differing in strength of glow, so they can both be used as animation, and for auras of various strength.
I think it is finished, so here are first three frames of female aura:

I'll post rest of frames on replies (why must there be maximum of 3 attachments?)

Nice idea, we can realize special auras with that. But it would look better if you use less/thinner glow ;)

Please use a different thread for every single one of your projects. This will make it much easier to find something you made. For this reason I renamed this thread to [WIP] Player Glow

Now for this work itself: It looks quite impressive considering how easy it is to make, but I wonder fow well it will work when the character isn't nude but wearing equipment.

It could be made more awesome by adding a pulsating animation for the "immobile" animation phases (yes, our animation system can do this).

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.

A question, would walking cause the aura to increase slightly more on the back side of the avatar and become narrower on the front side of the avatar?

Hi,

an aura effect would make a great addition, particularly if coupled with spellcasting animations (*cough*). However, wouldn't it be preferable to compute the aura programmatically, on-the-fly? (Caching the results, of course). That would make it easy to include equipment sprites.

(Yes, I do realise that no-one is probably bored enough to implement that just because I suggested it. I thought I should mention the idea, though, since it would be a preferable solution.)

Yes, it would be, but use of pixel shaders would increase hardware requirements, and as far as I know this game is supposed to run on old PC's.

And in fact I created it, because I wanted to create something for this game, and I am too lazy to create something, that requires much work. Computing it basing on character equipment will probably not be necessary, as my aura is a little blured on inside too, so it should not be so striking, unless as I said earlier - helmet would be much bigger than head.

Crush, what if it was just a solid layer (with no hole in the middle) that is drawn under the player sprite, possibly even a separate sprite. That might make it easier ...

I really like the idea but if the glow doesn't really match the equipement the player wears I think it will look like crap.
