really cool. does the after image use the same skin as the original, or can it be set up for a secondary skin?

it is set up using fx, so the skin is set, you would have to make a different fx based on which skin you use for the hero. as you can see in the pic, the fx skin has red hair and the original has grey. i'm still working on it. right now there is only one afterimage, i'm going to try and have at least 3.
Title: Re: sneak preview
Post by: bearded on November 11, 2010, 04:26:13 PM
still working on it. i'm trying to see if i an make an animated running jay be a particle fx.
what you see here the subsequent jay's are more translucent. neat, huh?
(http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/178/image2nh.jpg)
another idea i had is an fx of superman swooping down, grabbing a character and flying away with them. i know it can be done, just not sure if there is a use or need for it. start.nif would be superman flying down, core.nif would be him behind you arms around waist.
Title: Re: sneak preview
Post by: bearded on November 11, 2010, 08:50:42 PM
bad news on the animated fx. i can make a particle jay that animates perfectly, even with a blur trail, but nif doesn't like it, so it crashes max when i export. i've got some ideas tho.

Go, Bearded, Go! Those Jay Garrick tricks are AWESOME.

Good Lord, man! If you can make that Superman flying/grabbing someone animation for other keyframes, my mind will let me pretend it'll be like the sequence in the Superman/Shazam! short that just got released where Captain Marvel took Black Adam for a ride...right into Superman's fist. :thumbup:
Title: Re: sneak preview
Post by: bearded on November 11, 2010, 10:53:50 PM
proof of concept, you will believe a flash can fly! or, you've got me? who's got you!?
(http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/986/whosgotyou.jpg)
it needs some fine tuning, but basically, it works. fully animated also.
just to be clear, it is a flying fx. that means you can apply superman holding you to any character. it is a flying fx the same as el diablo's fiery feet.

Man, you are tapping into some pretty serious stuff here bearded! Awesome work!
Title: Re: sneak preview
Post by: docdelorean88 on November 12, 2010, 01:17:53 AM
WOWWWWW! This is how the flash should have been forever! GREAT WORK! I also love the superman flying fx! I totally thought of an episode of JLU where batman is free falling "Batman to all points, i could use some air support since i can't fly...at all. ..........Now would be good." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unl8l8VdONw

there are a lot of twins in the flash universe that share power and effects. so...
(http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/3958/doubleal.jpg)
fully animated to work together. about 1/3 done.

say, if anyone wants any of these things in the previews, let me know, otherwise i'll save it for the mod.

Cool, buff one them out and add a female to the mix, and you could have red/blue trinity.
Title: Re: sneak preview
Post by: bearded on November 13, 2010, 06:00:46 AM
it's going to be for characters that share powers, and have to be touching, so i'm going to do some touching animations, high fives and things like that.
mas and menos, and the tornado twins.
do they trinity's have to be touching?
Title: Re: sneak preview
Post by: Cyber Burn on November 13, 2010, 06:04:52 AM
I don't believe the trinitys need to be touching, but I really look forward to seeing mas and menos.
Title: Re: sneak preview
Post by: bearded on November 13, 2010, 06:10:41 AM
it works best for characters that share health also, so they get knocked out at the same time, frozen same time, that sort of thing. altho i bet all sorts of characters can be skoped from them, so, i'm going to make a male basic version and then a chubby mas and menos version. i like the cartoon version.

The Brothers Grimm would definitely fall under that category of working together. The only thing is they need a cloud under their feet when they fly!

Great stuff bearded!!  I think a general release would be nice in addition to the mod.  I can think of a lot of uses for this stuff....Will there be female equivalents?

Respectfully,
Title: Re: sneak preview
Post by: bearded on November 14, 2010, 05:58:18 AM
i can make female equivelants.

yes, SCD. and if you look close, you can see, linda carter has been cast as lady flash, to replace alchemiss.

Impressive work, Bearded. Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. The Flash running and Superman holding effects are incredible and very innovative.
