Please tell me what you think, what you like to be included and so on, any constructive comment is welcome.
I’m also the creator of 504+ MEGA Fire&Fog NeatWolf’s FX Pack 01, this is the second part of the package.
Thanks for your feedback b4c5p4c3!
Yes, current splashes are very cartoonish, but someone may like and use them! More realistic water splashes are yet to be done, I’m creating the water sprouts now.
Rain ripples and raindrops are definitely going to be in the package.
Let me reach a good number of FX and this will be soon on sale just like Pack01!
Could you please subscribe to the facebook page up here? I’m trying to centralize all my creation, sales, and news there! Thank you!
I added the rain and several rain splashes, hope you like them. Of course you should build one on top of the other to get the full effect.
I also added water sprouts (the beginning of a stream), and a few liquid leaks.
Next: adding single-location splashes
foam waves - the foam you have now is nice for static water, but a wave graphic might be more exciting
rain over bigger area
pool reflection effects - like a swimming pool or murky pool (I can see that being neat with your God rays)
whirlpool - slow, fast variants
bubbles -underwater air bubbles
straight spray - for fire sprinklers or shower
geyser -start, ongoing, slowing to stop with maybe small and big variants
falling water curtain - could be a spell effect or used for a fancy rich person’s water fountain
water jets - could be used for a fire hose, crack in a dam
sprinklers
oozing molten metal - would be nice if this was glowed
leaking green sludge - glowing and non glowing variants?
waterfalls (stream, river)
water ring fx - like nova
water wall
wave spell effect
dripping blood - because… well, it’s a liquid pack, right?
I’m vehemently opposed to facebook, but I’ll happily follow you on twitter!
Thanks for the ideas, let me analize them point by point:
foam waves - the foam you have now is nice for static water, but a wave graphic might be more exciting
you mean, static foam to manually apply on a river? I can do that
rain over bigger area
Simply tweak the particle system’s size to your liking and maybe increase the particle per second
pool reflection effects - like a swimming pool or murky pool (I can see that being neat with your God rays)
Out of scope, this is a particle FX package. Also, reflections are likely to need Pro.
whirlpool - slow, fast variants
consider it done
bubbles -underwater air bubbles
doable
straight spray - for fire sprinklers or shower
You should probably have a second look to the live demo, Sprouts category, it may be what you want
geyser -start, ongoing, slowing to stop with maybe small and big variants
Yes, I can make static geysers, but the animation would require external scripting.
falling water curtain - could be a spell effect or used for a fancy rich person’s water fountain
This is going to be tricky to do without refraction, I’ll see what I can do
water jets - could be used for a fire hose, crack in a dam
There are the Streams already, what difference is there from them?
sprinklers
Check Sprouts in the demo
oozing molten metal - would be nice if this was glowed
Glowing is a post FX effect, I can only fake it
leaking green sludge - glowing and non glowing variants?
same for above, with a color change
waterfalls (stream, river)
definitely yes. Consider that the Streams are very versatile. I’m going to add a physics friendly version (auto splashes)
water ring fx - like nova
like the walking on water fx? I’ll do something like that
water wall
definitely yes
wave spell effect
Sure, I can make that
dripping blood - because… well, it’s a liquid pack, right?
I love blood so blood sprouts and similar are planned
That’s a lot of requests, gimme some time, I’ll be working on this list as fast as I can!
I was a bit in a hurry and was restructuring the textures hierarchy, nothing problematic, it’s just a missing texture I’ll be fixing as soon as possible [EDIT: DONE]
Is ice something that would be included in this pack? If so, I’d be looking for the following effects, with the idea of using them as player abilities:
ice patch
faint chilling vapor (for around ice, not as heavy as fogs in previous pack)
frost blast (maybe it would be the same as a steam blast combined with a snowflake blast?)
freezing rain that creates a puddle / ice patch
hail (storm effect)
hail blast (maybe adjustable sized hail pellets, or separate effects with small, medium, large hail)
ice chunk that can be used to imprison a player
By the way, nice work on the swirling whirlpools!
Maybe there could a large tornado-like water spout, such as is seen on the ocean? Or a smaller version of that effect that could be used horizontally or vertically?
Added: Physical streams, the water streams do impact on the surfaces you want leaving a nice splash effect. Check the (stream02 and variants): LIVE DEMO
Wow, very very nice additions! I especially like the twisting whirlpool and shore fx. And great job on the streams bouncing, too.
Got it. I’m still new to particles, so will try that out when I buy the pack.
Yes, right. Sorry I should have been more specific. I did not mean real reflections. What I imagined was a web of white wavy line effects similar to how you do foam. Like the foam, I imagined the user could make a colored plane then place the wavy line animation effects on top of the plane. But I don’t know if that would look bad or not. (If it’s bad or still outside of scope no worries, there is plenty here already!).
The sprouts could work, but I was thinking more like a combination of your thin stream and the sprouts that could rain down in a large spray (to fight those fires in the last pack!). Maybe this is also just a need to increase particle speed?
Sounds good!
The streams flow in an arc. I was thinking of something that looked like it had more pressure / force behind it. It sounds like this may be like rain, though, that we could just increase particle speed.

Sure, water spray and directional leaks are on the way
The streams are extremely versatile, you could use them for a water tap or for a shower, or for an extinguisher, or for a waterfall, or a sprinkler, you just have to tweak the initial speed, most of the work has already be done! In the demo I am variating the initial speed of the Streams01 and Streams02 to show this.
I am thinking anyway of something more thick and dense like goo, paint, or lava. Maybe the lava will go in the other package, I don’t know.
In the meantime:
REQUEST 3: BUBBLES!
Static version and underwater version. More variations coming
ADDED: REQUEST 6 - STRAIGHT JETS/showers! 6 variants based on size and power, tweakable and rotable as you desire
79 prefabs already, the package may be soon on sale, and selling!
I don’t know how often people would need it, but since we have bubbles … maybe something like a cloud of foam? Sort of like how bubbles pile up on top of the water in a bubble bath, or maybe how they would come out of a hose when fighting a gasoline fire or something.
