Unreal Engine 3 - Dissolve Effect

[HoMiEgDaWg99]

Yeah. Epic lag on my pc >.<

[TheKSProduction]

looks great but the light needs to start a little bit later to match the dissolving. but im sure you knew that :)

[skyJets]

this is like doom 3

[Gypsy000Yoda]

@pirahni

Can you change the speed and color of the effect by any chance?

[UrSoMeanBoss]

vampires x,x

[DARKATTACKUS]

Lol

The dissolve is just like monday night combat

[Future6556]

how did you get the gears of war version?? i just started UDK so i am learning

[piranhi]

@Future6556 Read the rest of the comments. You have to buy the original Gears of War and the editor comes on the disc. The GoW is a very old version of the Unreal 3 engine, however, and does not come with the many perks that the latest UDK includes. It also crashes...a lot.

[Future6556]

@piranhi Oh, thank you! :) Guess i'm not using Gears Of War version. Nice video though!

[klanders988]

@piranhi do you also have to do the same if you want the combat system from batman arkham asylum for example? or will it be in udk? if not then i guess create it from scratch is possible.

[TheRoyalFirebird]

Wth? I have gears of war and gears of war 2 and I didn't get this. I want it more than the stupid udk unreal tournament crap. If anyone could give me the gears version or whatever It would be greatly appreciated. I want to make a game similar to gears, not UT3.

[piranhi]

@TheRoyalFirebird It's on the Gears of War disc. When you are installing it, you get the option to configure how you install the game, including whether you want to install the editor or not. GoW2 didn't come with the editor. Here's to hoping that Bulletstorm or GoW3 will have an editor included though.

[TheRoyalFirebird]

@piranhi thats the point: I have to buy the windows version of gears to get the editor. Thats what I think is stupid

[Cobac]

@TheRoyalFirebird yeah but gears of war 1 editor is toooo OLD compared to UDK ..... in UDK you got more options and stuff

[P4INKiller]

@TheRoyalFirebird

UDK is a more complete version of the engine.

The editor included with GoW only allows for mods.

[mvwil]

easy way to lower the ragdoll count

[Tilocoma]

@BrotherManiac69 Ah, pretty simple. From the content browser click the little folder next to "Import", find the unreal package(s) you need (usually under the cookedpc folder for whatever game), and import them. I have not had to do this as of yet, so if that does not work post back.

[Tilocoma]

@BrotherManiac69 The GOW version comes with GOW, and the ME version comes with ME (with some file directory tweeking). You have to buy the games.

[faredust77]

good for zombie game :)

[LeG4L1zE]

i only can say: Singularity :D

[kyziken]

you could have easily used an Emmissive track for the material. That would have saved time spent in kismit

[mclarenf101]

thats almost the same effect as blacklight tango down

[toxic2k7]

how did you get Unreal Engine 3? or is this UDK?

[piranhi]

@toxic2k7 This is in the Gears of War version of the Unreal engine.

[Ultracoder2005]

That looks a lot like the ME2 dissolve effect.

[PremiumZero]

how did you change ur charcter plz tell me

[speedosonic]

cool, but i prefer my corpses to stay. if it werent for that, i would think this to be excellent. not that it isnt awesome already.

[MulleDK13]

@speedosonic Eh... It was a VAMPIRE... FYI, vampires vaporize...

[adnelortiz]

There is a coefficient of friction that is caused by the air and it varies a bit with the atmospheric pressure. Also the shape of the object will provide some wing-like resistance to the air. The object at some point will reach a constant speed or it will break in the process like a meteor.

It's been 15 year since my last physics class so sorry if I can't post the whole formula... and too lazy to google it too hehehe. Cheers

eat3d vfx

[piranhi]

@LOLOLWNED I know Eat3D have a similar dissolve effect, however this is my own version. I haven't got their DVD, but to think that they were the first to create such a material is simply idiotic. For example, in the Unreal3 engine the vehicles use a very similar effect to dissolve out of gameplay. You can find a tutorial for this effect at my website piranhi.com.

[toxictherealone]

damn,very nice

[isashisky09]

thats looks mean

[SHOOT3RiG3ARS]

Dammit pirahni you have no respect for the elderly picking on Chaps like that =)

[piranhi]

haha, he was a vampire, honest!

[SHOOT3RiG3ARS]

@piranhi Dammit! lol :)

[SHOOT3RiG3ARS]

Wow sporting is right, looks a hell of alot like when vampires die on the film "Blade" :D

-Shooter19 from User maps & mods gow forums :)

[theking199012]

[Tetsjin]

[J0hn21792]
