DonDustin: ~~change the internal name, reduce the particle count and make the whole aura more appealing and interesting~~

DonDustin: ~~I see that you worked on this model, but I think you should reduce the particle count a bit.~~

Misha: alright, the model performs very nice ingame, and i'm approving it. buut.. as any attachment/aura, it could use having a death animation where everything just disappears right away.

cheers.

Why isn't the screenshot updating?

Misha · Jan 8, 2010

AIagremm · Jan 8, 2010

Coool, I like it. Interesting idea.

The Panda · Jan 8, 2010

I like it !

The World Is Flat · Jan 8, 2010

Could be useful. good work.

X-OMG-X · Jan 8, 2010

Cool. I like it. Thoughts its kinda simple. But might be useful.

Solecompanysole · Jan 8, 2010

Nice it isnt simple its awesome but i think its not coming along with the name Elemental Aura in an elemental aura you need to have fire water earth and air

but still its good!

Thanks, it was a simple idea but getting it to work properly was the hard part. Should I rename it to something like 'Frostfire Aura'?

VeLZeVuL · Jan 8, 2010

yea, you've forgot about Wind and Earth elements, but it's really 'not bad!' . Work more and it'll be 'superb' , imho.

Why should an aura witch is probably unstable (Frost V.S. Fire) not be Chaotic?

because there is chaotic, and and there's approve-able chaotic.
this one is not approve-able because it's chaotic completely, and thus not visually appealing

So... still i would approve it it sure would help in some maps.

let that to mods to decide, but IMHO it is waay too chaotic and not appealing at all.

perhaps if you add Frost and Fire clashing with each other, OR model an aura to your liking with polys

RaijinSpark · Jan 9, 2010

Pretty Neat...

My Rating:

Misha · Jan 9, 2010

If you could somehow place the fire particles around the pulsing polys then it would look neat.

You mean like a fire ring?

cookies4you · Jan 9, 2010

question. when people touch the aura, do they freeze or burn? do they burn with freezing temeratures or do they freeze in the shock of fire? or is it imba and does both/

It's up to you what it does. That is just the model, you make the ability. :thumbs_up:

that could do, yes :3

The World Is Flat · Jan 12, 2010

It is a good suggestion.

Leubast · Jul 1, 2010

Why was my model rejected? I will fix what needs to be fixed.

Leubast · Mar 29, 2016

Finally! An update! 4 years later, lol.
Reduced frost particles and animated them with the pulse. Added flare flashes.

Thinking about removing the frost particles all-together. Any other suggestions?

JesusHipster · Mar 30, 2016

It's cool you decided to update the model 6 whole years later, but honestly, it's not an aura, but rather a mess of fire and frost particles.

Have you even tested it ingame? The particles are not model space'd and it leaves a trail of messy sit behind when the hero using this aura walks.

Moreover, you should work on the color scheme more. Right not it's not visually appealing. Making frost and fire particles look good together is a hard task, indeed.

Also, using Shockwave1.blp as a key print of your aura is a bad idea. I don't know, try runes or something.

Leubast · Mar 30, 2016

Ok, so I've been working on the aura and I think it looks nice now.

BUT

The red ruins are not showing up in-game.
Anyone know why this might be? I can upload the current model so you can take a closer look at it.

HappyTauren · Mar 31, 2016

Upload the model to the post. Basically, you probably have a geoset animation that doesn't have an animated visibility field (you gotta set it to 0:1).

Leubast · Mar 31, 2016

Here it is. I hope you can figure out what went wrong. Thanks for the help.

HappyTauren · Mar 31, 2016

Try it now?

Leubast · Mar 31, 2016

Yes, it works! Boy, these models can be touchy.

HappyTauren · Mar 31, 2016

Particle count is still huge man, try to reduce it, it's hard with all those emitters but try to find a tradeoff to keep it at about 50 max (you can select an option in magos' options to see the number of particles) and I can approve this.

Leubast · Mar 31, 2016

Well I was thinking about removing the frost particles and moving the fire into the 3 protruding rings instead of a fire ring. I'll give that a shot.

Update: One last time. I think it's visually pleasing without it being too much.

Dinodin · Apr 1, 2016

Looks great! I like it

Aldeia · Apr 3, 2016
