My Masterpiece - SupCom Nuke

This is the best FX I have ever made. But then again, thats only me.

I watched some videos of Supreme Commander Nukes and I loved it, so i tried making my own. Actually, I consider this more of a "high poly" FX.

A few things to lay down:
- You can't use this ingame. Here's why:
1- You will kill your computer
2- Most of the awesome emmitters don't work ingame
3- Its just way too fucking big for ingame purposes.
- For best perfomance (and to save your computer), watch the animation in a resized window, not full screen.
-The screenshot sucks. Download it and watch it instead.

You will need Magos' model editor to open this correctly.

UPDATED! Now longer...

mmm tried to watch it, gives me an error: "Unable to load light.tga, file does not exist"

yep, same here. post the bloody texture too.

Your computer lacks a pair of testicles.

y make such an "awesome" effect when it is 1.unviewable, 2. kills ur computer, 3. has too many polies ? Scale it down a bit and maybe it will work.

Whoopsies. Forgot to remove that useless texture.

I'll fix that right away.

And I made such a "high poly" FX for fun.

god damn, that's HUGE...anyway, I was pretty disappointed with this, 'cause in the end it just vanishes instead of turning into a gray mushroom cloud.

Looks frigging awesome right up until the end, it needs smoke. That's what makes the SupCom nukes look so awesome, the huge-ass clouds of smoke.

You need to see some real nuclear explosion.There indeed more smoke than fire.

I've seen all the nuke videos I could manage thank you, I'll try to implement the smoke so it doesn't ruin the whole fireball (Magos doesn't take account of Priority Planes).

EDIT: Forget about smoke guys, I like the fireball for now, and I wasn't trying to be photorealistic anyway. Its also a bit hard to implement without ruining the fire.

make an intense fiery glow with a lot of smoke :D

dude if you like particles so much, you should get really serious and start learning ParticleFlow.

What is this "ParticleFlow"?

PS:rep me rep me rep me

PPS: Here's a very fiery nuke: http://youtube.com/watch?v=2rBAp2gGe2Q

once you'll find out, you'll love it, that's all I can tell you. Same about Afterburn and FumeFX.

FumeFX looks awesome. But like most things you're telling me about, its not free. Heck, FumeFX costs at least 300 bucks. I can't pay that.
