Sweep Effect

Just a little simple effect. Took me about 2 hours to create the texture and make the effect look decent. Although it looks kinda pretty. Try it ingame before rating/commenting. It was hard to get a good screenshot.

Alternatively, I suggest changing the particle emitter to look like this and the emission rate to be like this.

looks good but can be easy done with a ribbon or maybe two ribbons = 3kb, you should try it in 3dsmax5 with w3 art tools or magos model editor - (worldwide know :p), doesn't show it in model editor but you can do one with particle emmiters that its more simple

The high filesize is probably the texture, I can try to reduce it (128x128 instead of 256x256 or something). This is made with a ribbon and particle emitter in magos. I'm considering buying 3dsmax some times but it hasn't hapened yet. Right now I'm low on money.

Hm... Three ribbons might work pretty well but I don't know about the particle thing. 10 on the emittion rate is (IMO) way to little.
Here is what it looks like with 600 on emittion rate:

I find that a little better.
I added 1 lesser ribbon on each side of the main ribbon to. I belive it gives a little more substance feeling.
