How to create smoke and fire effects?


(seven_dc) #1

I’ve searched this forum for help of creating smoke or fire effects and without any success.

So my question is how to create smoke and fire effects in ET? By smoke I mean like the smoke in fuel dump or goldrush when the tank is damaged.

Are there some good tutorials out there that I have missed?

Ok the fire is done by creating a brush and applying the no draw texture to all sides - find it in texture/common - then apply the fire texture you want from the list of fires in textures/sfx

do that twice

make those brushes very thin - but make sure you can see the flame properley - so that is sqaure on the brush from front view place both brushes together at same height so you create a + shape.

THere are tutorials around for it - this is just basic.

For smoke you need to create the entity target_smoke - play around with it for different effects
