Hovl: Sketch #63

Hi everyone. I don’t have sci-fi effects in my portfolio and almost 0 experience with realistic sci-fi effects, so I will want to make something in this style. And of course the enemies knocked back from the hit.

Anyway, it’s not something new, there are a lot of similar effects or separate components:


I put these 2 works because I like them the most.

So I will made sci-fi monitor for targeting and explosions. But I want to do really unique sci-fi explosions.

I use EmberGen game_explosion_1 as a base
Sparks lose a lot in quality if it is not a large texture, I think to do everything through blue smoke and the particle system.

I exported main channel and only emission channel to make a glow in photoshop using gaussian blur so the explosion will look good without any post processing


Started with basic shape of the ground explosion

Added lightning

Started to do a timeline.

Added scanning effects. It was simple to create. Just lines. Beauty in simplicity.

Thank you. It’s 100+ attempts to render explosion texture.
I still remember the times when I used to render the explosion overnight in 3DS MAX FumeFX, and see the result in the morning. And now each render takes a couple of seconds in EmberGen :smile:
