About Muzzle Flash

Hey guys, sry if this isn’t the best place to ask, but as this is a forum about design and we all make games…

I want to use some Muzzle Flashes in my game, and i have just some basic stuff. Do someone know how to make a Muzzle Flash OR where to get it? Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve never done this myself, but the first thing I would try is a particle system, and if that failed, probably some sort of light cone mesh that you flash a texture onto all artistic like. Add a point light flashing along with the particle or texture and bobs your uncle.

Seriously man, Google turns up like fifty thousand muzzle flash tutorials.

lol. No one would have guessed that that’s what you meant :wink:

I dunno man, you just gotta paint and see. What’s your skillet?

The word “texture” would have been useful to add.

Oh, god… Okay, let me make myself clear:

I am here, in the Game Design forum, because i wanted to know if someone here has a suggestion, a tutorial or something you know? IF someone know how to make a MuzzeFlash texture. I know how to make it work in a game, i just wanted to know how can you make one. I hope you guys knew that already, but you need to credit people if you are going to use their content, and it’s very difficult to find royalty-free muzzeflashes around the internet. Actually it is already difficult to even find a premium or something… I only found one website, and their Muzzle Flashes are in video. If Unity supported videos it would be fine, but i don’t want to download an Apple Software, and do a lot of nonsense things just to use a video in my game everytime i shoot, and it doesn’t really works.

I am pretty good at making all sorts of image editing, but i am not exactly a designer, i don’t know how to actually draw the form of a muzzle flash =/

Yeah, exactly.

Ah, you needed to be allot more explicit with your request.

Okay, i will try.

It worked. Turned that i just didn’t had the necessery tools. I actually didn’t searched for custom brushes. I guess it’s Living and Learning…

By the way, thanks! It was easier than i thought. :slight_smile:
