Hello, I am using Blizzard's Art Tools to create a missle model. I want to, however, assign a smoke trail to the end of the missle. I have read the guide and it tells me to create a BlizRibbon Helper. So I have done that, but I run into problems with it. I am using the Cartoon Cloud, the one that shows itself whenever you use a tome, and I have set the rows/cols appropriately. The animation starts at 0 and I have extracted the cloud in TGA format to the model directory, assigned it to a material, and assigned that material to the ribbon. I have set: Above to 10 Below to 10 Edges/Sec to 10 Edge Life to 2 Gravity to -2 Texture Rows to 4 Texture Columns to 8 Texture Slot to 0 (for first frame) and 31 (for last frame) Vertex Color is white Vertex Alpha is 1.0. Material is set to Material 2, which contains the Warcraft III material with the cartoon cloud texture. The problem i am having is: When previewing in the War 3 Previewer, it shows opaque quads with only one variation of cloud (im assuming the first in the texture) - the material does not animate. What should I do? |
