+DZ-Jay Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) Hello all, My Christmas Carol game calls for an explosion at some point. The explosion that I finally designed is sort of an electric blast, that is followed by a shower of sparks. I think it came out rather cool, and so I thought I'd share it with you. Below I've included the ASCII representation of the frame animation sequence. Feel free to use it in your own games. Attribution is appreciated, but not required. I'm not going to give away any more of the game, so if you want to know to which part of the game it belongs, or who's the subject of the explosion, you'll have to play the game once it's released soon. (Attention Beta Testers: remember that you're sworn to secrecy!) Also, I've included a screen test movie of the explosion. All actors have been removed from the scene so as not to give anything away. Cheers! -dZ. Xmas Carol Spark Explosion - Test.mov ; This explosion animation sequence requires two MOBs, ; one of them reflected in the X axis, and offset by 8 pixels. ; ; The spark sequences use a single MOB. ;
