bullet spray (picture attached)

That would be okay as a screen saver and kinda looks cool, but it dosn't look like it has that much to do with BZFlag, did you make it?

Macrosoft · Post by **Macrosoft** » Wed May 30, 2007 7:38 pm

yeah, played around with materials in blender (its supposed to look like bullets flying at your screen)

Post by **joevano** » Wed May 30, 2007 8:33 pm

No, that isn't what it looks like, but it is nice looking.

using team colors:

It is nice, but it doesn't look anything like bullets

It looks like an attack from a cartoon that hypnotizes you.

yes I do watch cartoons

If you want something that resembles BZFlag shots, then do this....

----> Open up your image with the gimp
----> Right click on the image
----> Go to filters
----> Light Effects
----> SuperNova
----> Make it so there is only 1 spoke

Your image should resemble something like this....

Hope it helps you

...or you can just import the BZ shot image from the data folder under "My BZFlag Files", and have the actual shot.

Peter · Post by **Peter** » Wed May 30, 2007 10:33 pm

Oh yeh

good idea, but is that image just the bullet or dose it have any background colors in it?

ill see what else i can make

Peter · Post by **Peter** » Wed May 30, 2007 10:56 pm

Thanks Hannibal. It looks much better than my idea....

the supernova effect you made looks cool anyway, it would make a good SW if it was bigger

What would be cool is if you could make a matrix bullet time video of that.

Looks cool, maby mix up the shots a bit instead of them being in groups.

Grace F · Post by **Grace F** » Fri Jun 01, 2007 7:56 am

They look wonderful

PETEY has a good idea there, mix up the bullets a little bit. What else can you do?

Macrosoft · Post by **Macrosoft** » Sat Jun 02, 2007 4:15 am

still working on mixing up the bullets, looking for the right objects, lights, settings, etc. to use.
so far ive tried mirror surfaced spheres with different colored lamps nearby, doesnt look right yet.

Macrosoft · Post by **Macrosoft** » Sat Jun 02, 2007 4:26 am

not a finished product, just want to know if anyone thinks this looks at all like a shot from a blue tank:

Grace F · Post by **Grace F** » Sat Jun 02, 2007 4:40 am

Not really.

To me, it looks like a blue bullet surrounded by heavy blue fog

Albino Blacksheep · Post by **Albino Blacksheep** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 1:22 pm

you should change the background color to make the bullet easier to see.

Macrosoft · Post by **Macrosoft** » Sat Jun 09, 2007 2:54 am

this should make it a little clearer:

for whatever reason, it never renders as clear as it does in the preview

Grace F · Post by **Grace F** » Sat Jun 09, 2007 5:54 am

Uh oh, you better put up a link to that pic instead of just pasteing it here before you get into trouble

Or at LEAST get rid of some of the black.

The center of the bullet just seems plain, is there a way to make it 3d?

Macrosoft · Post by **Macrosoft** » Sat Jun 09, 2007 1:55 pm

you want 3D...how's this look:
