Enfo Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 There are several weapons out there with some pretty poor weapon trail animations. These get pretty annoying to look at compared to others when using said weapons a lot. I thought making a thread showcasing these to get a potential fix to these so that they look more smooth in the future. I'll start off wit this, the ceramic dagger. As you can see, it's pretty much just a straight line tossed onto it, with a terrible trail animation compared to some of the newer ones. If anyone else has other animations to submit before i go find some other ones to post, feel free to do so.
Drunken_Child Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 AWWWW, that kubrow is sooo cute. Wait what was the thread about, completely ignored everything else.
_-Malicious-Melodi-_ Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 the process of accurately attaching a particle train to every inch of the blade side of a curved weapon is incredibly tedious and time consuming, as well as uses up a lot of processing power. The way it is now gives us a nice light trail and a good FPS rate.

The Dakra prime is a very straight weapon, where as the Fang prime or Glaive has many curves. The effect is based on the Length of the blade from furthest point down the center to the middle of the hilt.
[DE]Jeremy Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 You're right, that trail was off...I've touched it up for ya.

DaedricToast666 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) I really love my Dual Heat swords i just wish they didn't have bad animations. Please DE Please fix them, actually you know what would make it feel better? Making them Both Dual Swords. Edited January 26, 2015 by DaedricToast666
Zeromanicus Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 DE should look into making them some sort of energy flame effect, that trails a bit more naturally.

Zeromanicus Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Like embers head, or the pyra sugatra etc. Similiar but different. Edited January 26, 2015 by Zeromanicus
