effects on animated portions of models?

Post by zaroba »

is it possible to put effects on the animated portion of a model to have the effect move along with the animation if the animation is done via the animation builder?

working on a railroad model for ciroz that will have a freight train going accross a track, am wondering if i'll be able to put a smoke effect on the train engine.

Yes, that ought to work if the effect is attached to a specific vertex, and that vertex moves with the animation. I've got that sort of thing working with missiles, for example - just attach a smoke effect to the exhaust, and watch it make pretty trails across the sky (and then bring your system to a standstill when you fire 400 at once :] )
