Looks like some other file uses it..
Have you looked at TwirlSoftBig.tga texture? It looks good for 'water column' ..

I'll test it immediately

Okay.. here we are ..
based on test8 settings -

Neither can I. It is likely that this material is a leftover or, as you are suggesting, is used by some other FXU particle dat file.

I think my custom texture is more appropriate. I did it by merging/tweaking other stock testures

What do you think about improve a little other pierre texture?
And any other thoughts? What else can we edit?

I just hope they won't start thinking (...and complaining) when we will send our update to TDW

I like some vapour to still be there, but I can see to improved that texture anyway. Have any special idea in mind for it? I should I improve it?

Making the top end of the water column to look more pointed? Making vapourized water to fall down more slowly and to last a bit longer than the rest?

I think, someway like you already made for the first one

Yes.. how can I make it?

I think it's simple, just increase a little life time.. or?

Do you mean switching the texture from wapour to a proper water splash, or just using a better vapour texture?

I guess we can try playing with particle's size overlife settings. I am going out for dinner again, and I have no time to explain how it works, but I will later or tomorrow

increase lifetime a bit, reduce intitial speed, reduce weight, maybe reduce also opacity... I have to go now. We will discuss the details later

Looking really nice so far Volodya, good job

[volodya61]

Gabriele, this is stock 'great explosion' -

. . .

'water column' is visible on the dark background only..
I think it sucks
