WB!

Nice icons, if anyone is wants to try TaVFX (Torso-Aligned VFX) TAD's Quivers could make a great starter base...

For anyone that likes those quivers, I plan on updating them in the very near future now that my model-making skills have improved.  They'll just be getting some improved shapes (mostly just more rounded and slightly higher-poly), so it'll be easy to drop the new models into haks and just overwrite the current ones that are a little boxy.

And yes, those quivers might make a good starting point for positioning new VFX.  In your modelling software, open up a default human/dwarf/etc. model (some of the NPCs have nodes in the right places).  Then import a matching race+gender quiver and move the aurora base for the quiver to the exact coordinates of the impact node for the humanoid model.  Make your model, then move your aurora base for the VFX back to 0, 0, 0 (after deleting out all the stuff for the humanoid model).  This should get you a properly positioned VFX for that race+gender.

               Love the glasses. Do they change color with your outfit?

               That crown will be useful! Nice work, Carcerian. Perhaps a couple different style crowns? '> Pretty please....

               Thx !

@ Jen: No sorry, they not-plt based, though recolors can be done for sure '>

               That's... eeeeew. In a... good way. I think. Well, not in a... well, you know what I mean! I like the model texture thingy but it's creepy. '>

               Nice worms, Carcerian. I am wondering if it is possible to animate that texture, or otherwise get the writhing worm look.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Carcerian]

               Yes, if you found animated gif/video, and then followed the tutorials by OTR '>

(Was thinking the same thing for a later version '>)

               Carcerian, you might also try using a TXI to achieve a similar effect.  This is tde01_lava01.txi:

channeltranslate 4

distort 1

distortionamplitude 1

defaultheight 64
defaultwidth 64

waterheight 32
waterwidth 32

downsamplemin 0
downsamplemax 2

alphamean 0.999

Give that a shot, maybe?  I haven't tried it myself but if my guess is right, it's about the kind of wriggling you want.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Carcerian]

               Yup, my first mod ever, plasma blades, uses txi's from biowares lava, water and frozen textures '>

Would want to try to keep distortion minimal, of course, and try to get rippling effect maby...
