VFX Tutorial : What do You want?

[Rodak]

The first draft VFX Editor Guide will have one step-by-step tutorial and has a tentative VD release date (Valentines Day).

I narrowed it down to the above four concepts.

I made short (12 second) mpg files for a quick peek. They should be small enough to present no problems for our dial up friends.

The Bugger Bugs have been seen before.

They are from Videogamedrome and will teach VFX Character use, Looping effects, and "Surgical" VFX removal (addressing a single effect on a screen full of 'em).

===============

The Boobyprize will teach the use more than 10 elements in a single effect as well as overlapping the Surgical VFX removal technique mentioned above.

==================

For VFX Driven action I chose my Baseball mini game. It has only a single event and is completely VFX Driven. No "moving parts" to worry about.

=================

Ducky is just there because I never posted him before. He could be a VFX Character and uses more than ten elements in his design.

I may come up with a special action for him, but have not yet thought of one.

=======================

I plan on including all of these in a final version, but this is just a first draft.

I'm posting this poll on three different RPGMaker sites, so if you want to skew the results in your favor, go to all 3 sites and vote!

Ballot Box Stuffing is encouraged in this
election! We ain't no Democracy!

Peace.

Re: VFX Tutorial : What do You want?

Rodak, you never cease to amaze me.

Re: VFX Tutorial : What do You want?

Ya know...

All of these involve VFX Driven action.

I guess the Baseball is the most extreme example because it is interactive.

But be sure to watch the videos (especially Boobyprize and Bugger Bugs) for examples of what I mean.

The weapons (webs for bugs and energy weapons for Boobyprize) fire by pressing the [] button.

Just to keep you informed...

Peace.

I just noticed this is a double post, but I hope the time sensitive nature of the information helps you to overlook that.
Peace.

Re: VFX Tutorial : What do You want?

It's been a couple more days and the cross-site polls have changed a little.

Bugger Bugs 2
The Starship Boobyprize 9
VFX Driven Action 9

Re: VFX Tutorial : What do You want?

Thank you Sir Mastodon.

Have a picture:

And a reminder that this is the last day for voting and the last time I'll be bumping this except to announce the winner!!

It looks like a clear victory for The Boobyprize!

Funny, I didn't think there were that many Star Poop fans here...

Peace.

Re: VFX Tutorial : What do You want?

That's an awesome picture.... did you draw it? did you steal it from someone?... did you mess the carpet?..

If so... I'm quite impressed and give you one of these....

**Clap***

Sorry, one claps all I ever give..

If not... okay.

Re: VFX Tutorial : What do You want?

I wish I could draw that well.

It is stolen from an image search for Mastodon.

Such things only take about 3 minutes in total and are fun.

Glad you liked it regardless...

Anyway;

It Over.

I'm beat (lots of snow shoveling) and just want to relax and drink and... ummm...

Nevermind.

So...

We Have A Winner!!

Here are the "Final Numbers"

The Bugger Bugs: 3
The Starship Boobyprize: 12
VFX Driven Action: 9
Ducky: 5

Unless there is a huge flurry of votes overnight, expect this to be the last word.

Until VD is upon us!

Peace.
