Caster Hand Attachments

Okay here are some little caster attachments I whipped up. They are based off of the similar wow ones (before you start yelling at me, remind yourself of olof's two dragons), but I made them much better! Now they only use in-game textures and they show up well in-game. You could attach them via triggers, using the "Art - Caster" thing, or whatever! The pack includes the following:
  • 5 elements of attachments
    • Shadow
    • Holy
    • Water
    • Earth/Nature
    • Fire
  • Each of the main 5 comes in four levels
    • Low
    • Medium
    • High
    • Uber
  • Two bonus elements available in one level each
    • Arcane
    • Lightning
Give credits to Pyritie if you use them!

Do they have death and birth animations? (I can't check)

And birth, also verry important.

Did you say custom textures? They dont look custom to me, they look like in-game graphics. Wich, if the case, would be better.

They have death animations, yes.

Dammit, meant to put in-game. >_< Fixed now.

I have no idea what to do for a birth animation though. Just a simple scale?

All the birth you need is surely just the particles being switched on in the stand; unless you've got geometry lying around that needs to be faded/etc manually.

But the main glowy part is actually a plane, not just particles. Should I scale that in?

Fade it in. Presumably you're using an Additive filtermode, so you should be fine.

Will do.

EDIT: Fixed!

This would be awesome for a Magic the Gathering themed game... Uhm, wait a second! I just happen to be designing one, myself.

Do you suppose you could make some effects that rather than being hand attachments (more for a caster-type hero) could you make weapon attachments that go well with being attached to weapons (for a more melee effect).

JetFangInferno, if you read this: you are a god effect modeler, please attempt some weapon attachment effects as well.

I don't get what you mean. Can't these work?

Hey, I could use this. Things looked a little blank with just a ground attachment. This will fill the rest of the unit's body. Thanks for your hard work.
