RTC3 FIREWORKS TUTORIAL 16 (Emitter Spin)

[happy123florian]

Please David Create a site with a download of every shell and custom firewoks !!!!

[reifelrodi]

I have a good idea:make an advance spark trail to make the best trail and spliting fireworks like it flies and at the end it splists and only then explodes

[19magic97]

Can u make a tutorial on making a firework display because your shows are amazing??????

[Cavou12]

what does special effects do?

[royspaiky]

I had a question, maybe it is possible to all of your shells, ect. make a pack, and put on the internet. so that we can download it.

[StickyGum32]

Davie, do you know how to create a good looking fire effect? If so, how the heck do you make it?

[progamerxt]

I have a question about spin (well atleast i think it has to do with spin) after you make a basic firework how do i make the comet come down alittle bit before it explodes into a ball of stars??..almost like a willow shape firework where it comes down...but only the comet before the ball of stars?..

@progamerxt

1. make sure the shell has gravity

2. make it's lifetime longer so that it starts to fall

3. adjust the shell speed so that it starts to fall at the right height

[royspaiky]

ow ok.

Another question:

my whiz bangs are all the same.

How can u make them different?

Thanks.

@royspaiky

Shoot them if different directions by adding sphere speed to the vertical speed. Add lifetime randomness to the shells up to .5.

Davie, I'm having a little trouble with one thing, and another thing might be my computer's fault, but I need your imput.

1. How do you make a firework that spins 360 degrees? it's a major firework that i need in my upcoming show , and I need to know how pretty soon...(and it's supposed to be massive and last about 15 seconds or so.

2. When I make a firework w/particles tht have a halo around them, sometimes the halo gets left behind of the white core. Sometimes it happens, smtimes no. help??

[davie499]

@InnoventionsTomorrow

1. As stated in the tutorial, if you want the shell to appear to spin, the rotation settings are made on the particles being shot from it, not the shell itself. Try increasing the spin slowly in whichever axis you want, then match the lifetime so that it makes 1 revolution before it ends.

2. Just make sure that the halo has parent speed 1, and no other speeds, and drag and gravity are identical to the core.

[91bookworm]

Okay, I have 2 questions.

1. How do you get particles in peonies to end randomly without the glow or the halo disappearing first.

2. When making a bow tie firework or any firework that is not round, how do you get it to go in a random direction when it explodes. I don't want mine to always go left and right, I want mine to go any direction yet still keep its shape. And I am talking about the explosion itself, not the lauch paritcle.

Thanks for making these tutorials!

[davie499]

1. Instead of having 1 halo, 5 seconds long for example, try increasing the number of halo particles. Try 15 particles with a lifetime of .5 seconds (with .5 time randomness). You may need to experiment with lifetimes and brightness, but the extra work will make a flicker halo, which does not stay around afterwards, and looks much better. This is how most of the "professional" effects are done.

2. Even I have not totally figured this out.

[batmanstick]

i just cant make the shell patterns it doesnt spin it just launches them all around :*(

[davie499]

maybe the spin is too fast...or...reduce the sphere/circle speeds of the spark trails.

[TuhNEWbshow]

THANK YOU DAVIE499 youre the only one that can do this as good as you. now i even made a cuople of custom fireworks, but my PC sucks so i cant record any RCT3 stuff:( hope ill get a better PC someday! 5/5 btw
