Don't worry KKC, I'll help you out either today or sometime this week, you may need a proper UWV map (Thanks to trep for helping me with mine)

Ok this is my first attempt at a sword material/effect, so please help if you think it looks like crap lol.

Too large.

Thanks for helping with his problem, Veegie.

It looks too gaseous to be considered energy; I'd try and make it look more like flowing streams of lightning. Can you post what you are using for the effect, so we can help you more?

Chief Cow · Post by **Chief Cow** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 1:17 pm

Ok, here are the video post files, I've never really used it before so I could use some help.

The first one (ES) generates the gaseous look, the second does the electricity.

trepdimeflou, I meant the effect. Christ.
He posted showing off his effect, I said "too large".
I figured he'd make the connection.

Lol, Veegie you silly vegetable!

Veegie[Temp] · Post by **Veegie[Temp]** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 2:40 pm

Thanks for helping with his problem, HK-47.

trepdimeflou · Post by **trepdimeflou** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 3:00 pm

HK-47, don't post in here unless you are helping.

And Veegie, you didn't really help, you just told him what the problem was. There's a difference.

Trepdimeflou, when someone tells you the problem with something. Do you accept it? If it's too big, the thought, "hey I should make it smaller" doesn't come to mind? If I'm the only one making that connection, I've got to be super-human. Seriously, come on man.

trepdimeflou · Post by **trepdimeflou** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 4:12 pm

Yes, I made that conenction, and I'm sure he did as well.

He posted in the topic looking for help, not to know only what the problem was.

I'm sure that if he knew everything he needed to know to make it look good, he wouldn't be posting in this thread.

The only problem I had with your post is that you failed to help him; you just told him what he probably already knew.

Veegie[Temp] · Post by **Veegie[Temp]** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 4:14 pm

If he already knew, it would help if he said he did.
And if he could create that effect thus far. I'm positive he knows how to scale it.
I don't know why you would knowingly do something wrong.

I'm going to have to add a new rule to this topic, I suppose.

RULES UPDATED: Check the beginning post of this topic before posting please.

Let Me Get this straight from this your post on-ward... This is in Effect...correct

Tell us what you need help with, but:
Use COMPLETE SENTENCES
Use CORRECT GRAMMAR
Use CORRECT PUNCTUATION

Do Not Use FOUL LANGUAGE
Do Not Use ANY LANGUAGE BESIDES ENGLISH
There will be no insulting / harassment in this thread, and do not ask simple questions that can be solved by looking in the 3dsmax reference files. ie: "How do I open the material editor?"

UPDATED 5/6/06

If you are posting help for someone, post as if the person has no idea how to do what they are asking, because they probably don't. Post detailed information, like a mini-tutorial, not two words.

If you follow the guidelines above, I'm sure your problem will be sorted out.

Are you exempt from this rule?
