HerrTom Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Figured this subforum would be best since these explosions aren't really family-specific. The news of CM Cold War inspired me to dig back into making explosions. I present to you my latest (and greatest) explosion! Get it here (link)! Animated demonstration here: https://i.imgur.com/hel1fau.mp4 The animation really sells it I think, since it doesn't look too great in stills yet, but I'm working on it!

BornGinger Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 They look good enough from a distance. I'll check them out when I'm home from work to see how fun the pixeltruppen have with them when being shot up into the sky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slippy Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 HerrTom, they do look excellent to be fair. Out of interest, in your opinion could vehicle fires/ smokes also be modded? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Thanks HerrTom. Looking forward to comparing with all your previous explosions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire and smoke can indeed be modded, though they all have the same limitations as explosions, in that they are only a single texture and their generation is controlled by the game engine. I'd love for some more control over particles, though I understand since smoke is a pretty integral part of the game simulation that that is probably one of the reasons it can't be changed beyond new textures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Definitely your best ones yet. I'll be using these in everything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks HerrTom Any idea where i may find the smoke for the tanks please? One of my least dislike graphical elements of the game are the long black 'fingers' of smoke from damaged vehicles and tanks, like below would like to try and get something more natural looking such as this do you think in theory it is possible within the limitations of the game? regards slippy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 You can’t really change the dynamics of the smoke columns, only the color of the textures., Slippy. I keep hoping BFC will introduce swirling, thick/thin smoke streams out of the blue some day, like when they added gunsmoke to small arms fire. Since there are different types of smoke clouds in the game already (explosions, tank gunfire) it would seem the coding already exists....but I know diddly-squat about that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Bigger smoke columns may cause a performance hit for lower end systems, I don't know. At least they go with the wind in the scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacillator Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Looks great, downloaded and will try in every title I have . Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Charlemagne Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Great work! Is the smoke from Vein's effect mod? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
