fog and rain

Over the last couple of days, more particle have been placed within the model with light, rain and cloud on the top and an old english fog on the bottom. The reason for the fog is that it gives it more atmostphere and drama. Being hide and seek, it makes the task a little harder and much more fun if there is a little bit of fog in the air.

Mist and tornado

I had a quick meeting with my group. Decided that i should try mist and clouds. Can work out clouds yet, but got mist and a tornado wroking. Still not perfect, but looking good with small knowledge of UT3.

(I have now tried cloud + rain. Not perfect again but a start).

Update

Hi just a quick update on where we are. The team is meeting tomorrow afternoon. I am still looking at various particle systems. At the moment, i have experimented, at doing a river system. From this river a waterfall will occur.

One thing we have agreed on is the use of a teleport (being invisable), with one behind one of my waterfalls. This will be great for when trying to hind.

In the iamge, you can see, the waterfall is not perfect, but i hope it will get better as the week progress.

For the next 1.5 - 2hours, more experiments.

Another update (Sat night)

Last particle test - lighting

Here is a screen shot of a lighting strike. Its not perfect, but still effective.

More screenshots

Below are more screenshots of particals i made in UT3. 1st is sand and the 2nd is a waterfall. At least two more will be up ASAP along with the video.

Particle experiment 1

The first image scene is a snow particle system. This is my experiment, based on the tuts. The second and third images are the final result from the tutorials.

Screenshots UT3 - experiment 2

Due to the large vertices and faces of the biggest expolsion, the smallest one is shown here.
