shamanyouranus: Work on those particles a bit. If you make those particle emitters Tail instead of Head it should look a bit more lightning-y. And try to add some electric geosets to it. That would really help. At the moment it is too simple.

shamanyouranus: Still doesn't look much like lightning. I can help you improve this, but until then, I have to reject it.

Syr but for me it looks like a normal frostarrow

 

[KYTON]

I edited the particle emitters... I'll make it more flashy or something....

Edit: Added ribbon emitter

 

[Misha]

still doesn't look like an lightning arrow.... you would need some lightning mesh from the orb of lightning and some good timing on the animatios to make it a lightning arrow :3

~Misha~

 

[KYTON]

Well i don't have the facilities nor skill to do that... but I would appreciate it if someone else did actual changes to the model itself. I only wanted a lightning like arrow and it appears that this is not at all useful so I guess I might remove it.

 

[Avex]

Why not edit a Searing Arrow and add healing wave particles and call it a lightning/healing arrow.

 

[Misha]

that might be nice.

i'm gonna take a look at that arrow of yours if i can make sumthin'
can't promise anythin' >.>

 

[KYTON]

Cool thanks +rep

 

[Kingprice]

Now it looks like a star arrow. Looks pretty nice but not like an lightning arrow

 

[shamanyouranus]

OH GOD NO! This is not what I meant at all. I meant take the original lightning particles that you had and add tails to them. GAAH! MY EYES! XD

 

[KYTON]

Okay...this edit was made by MISHA which an't that lightningy I know...I should maybe rename it to something...any suggestions.... shamanyouranus would you be able to look at my model of mine....I tried to add lightning geosets from orb of lightning to the arrow but it don't dissapear on death which cause some crazy bugs....

 

[shamanyouranus]

I may be able to take a look at it

 

[Misha]

I may be able to take a look at it

i explained to him about geoset animations Via PM Shaman :3

EDIT: and this certainly needs better screenshot
EDIT2: lol just rename the model into "energy arrow" x3 and keep this one

 

[Deathlichmaster]

lol mabe change to a yellowish/golden lightning ;D it would look much better and would no way near look like cold arrows !!!!!!! D:!, mabe even a coolio static trail ! would be nice to add.

 

[shamanyouranus]

It would look a bit odd though, because there is no yellow lightning in warcraft

 

[Misha]

one thing you might do is to replace the particle lightning with that texture that has the that magic gnoll ingame model (that ball weapon that glows) and use the texture from that efect as particles.

 

[shamanyouranus]

lightningball.blp

 

[Misha]

there

 

[KYTON]

Is this better? I used the gnoll lightning ball texture as a particle emmitor...

awfull.... you need to greatly reduce the particle size... or the count.
(this is judged on that attachment you've put in your post. Not on model)

 

[Pyritie]

Why is the arrow billboarded?

 

[shamanyouranus]

Thats how it is supposed to be.
It looks weird in magos, but ingame it looks alright.

 

[Darkfang]

use the chain lightning missile and make it more little and attach it to the head of the arrow it will be enough

 

[Misha]

oO not too sure of that Oo

 

[Darkfang]

emmm sorry i didn't saw your awnser,, well i didn't mean the missile i meant for the special art of the chain lightning it looks triangular and if u can mantain the animation it will look like a real lightning arrow
