2.5 Explosion effects

Also noticeable shock wave from explosions.. very nice :)

The shock waves are cool. I hope they can model dusty/dry clouds that persist longer (e.g. NTTR) than "wet" surface explosions you might find in Normandy.

The thrown chunks need a bit of work perhaps, but it's a great start!

Great work by talented people as always...

Needs more Uranium. :D

Good work, looking forward to the final result.

Looking awesome.

BIG improvement over the actual ones!!!:thumbup:

 

Hope during the WiP period they add more fire effect, longer dust disipation time (I would like something like 3 or 5 minutes for some explosions) and especially something I think is KEY to make them look great is CASTING SHADOWS for the smoke column!, that's what gives the sense of height and determines with precision where the explosion happened.

 

Overall going in the right direction imo!:)

Totally so, so make it so!

As well possible for darker smoke, lots of fire and slow smoke clouds.

Would be nice to know what did the L-39 really drop here?

And here is Mk-82

Some sub-ammunition

20mm firing

Kh-25 looks like firecrackers compared to those https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX1Z5vX2Kws

So now what they have looks more like the effect of shockwave, dirt flying up but no fire and no smoke.

Very great improvements to current ones, but at least these are still WIP and they do know all these things so waiting that we see them too! :)

They were attacking a field, not much smoke or fire from dirt... (there is fire in there if you look)

Where there are explosives, there is fire and smoke.

And yes there is little bit fire but not fire clouds etc like those videos.

What good is it if it barks and can not bite, really.

Missing flashes.. but other wise big improvement

Fire and flashes are there but toned down. You need a slow motion video of the blast area close up to really see all effects. I like it! :thumbup:

but not fire clouds etc like those videos.

Mostly hitting open ground so there's nothing much to burn. Detonation flashes, however, are definitely there. Plus I'd guess these are still WIP, so we'll probably see more pyrotechnics later where appropriate.

Anyway, these are a vast improvement over the old ones IMO.

Yes, and I know some comparisons are made with leading First Person Shooters, but most of those are using very limited units, tiny tiny maps, they can afford more being added to their effects. So while people want to see life like effects, ED needs to make sure we can run it. I know most of you understand that though.

Our SUU-7 cluster bombs punish the current FX engine. Hopefully the new one is better, looking forward to it!

Looking totally awesome. Now let's pray this won't make our FPS drop to slideshow rate.

Not sure if Cluster effects have been worked on, but I would imagine all will be, these new effects are really easy on the GPU so far... but as always WIP.

That is also great news of course. :)

Might these new explosions open the door for new clouds as well? They seem like an excellent jumping off point given their appearance.

Great stuff.

On a bombing drop training zone there ain't anymore anything that burns and yet most bombs generate big fire and smoke traces.

Those are bombs, not a flashbangs....

My NDA means I cannot tell you that I am loving the new effects so far.

:lol:

:thumbup:

Look the real bombs being dropped... You don't need a burning material for that.

Here's a Mk. 84:

Real bombs, unlike the Hollywood ones, don't contain bags of gasoline for added dramatic effect. FABs are, of course, a different thing altogether.

nice work, just needs a contact shadow. Probably on the way.

I am not talking Hollywood effects, buy there are clear fireballs in most bomb drops in daytime even. Even yours had it.

And smokey ones they are, not just dirt going up.
