If you had to pick one favorite effect so far that you or a member of your team has done for Star Citizen, what would it be?asked by Grof Azul
TL;DRAmong many favorites, he names the Idris explosion, the big railgun effect, weapon effects, a weapon impact effect and a Xi'an explosion, adding that he loves explosions as a VFX artist.
I really like the, oh God, so many to choose from. I love the Idris explosion that we did.
We showed it back at Gamescom.
Yeah, we showed it back at Gamescom. Obviously, the Idris isn't out there yet, but I absolutely love that effect. I love the, the name's gone, but the big weapon. The big railgun. The railgun effect's fantastic. We're doing some really nice things with weapon effects actually. We're starting to hit a nice groove with the weapon effects. I'll tell you what I will show you if you're talking about effects that I really like. That is an impact effect for a weapon. That's all I'm going to say. And this is another really nice one. This is one of the Xi'an explosions. We have very specific styles. So we've got a style guide where we have a set of logic and lore that we apply to different manufacturers and different alien races. So this is a really nice example of this, Xi'an. There's lots of curl noise there, which I was talking about before. You know what? I love explosions. I'm a VFX artist, so I suppose I'd have to end on the odd explosion or two, wouldn't I?
