Woo Hoo restored!!!

You're down and then you're right back up again! Good lord this projects is a bit of a roller coaster. Well, long story short- remember option number 1 from the previous post? Well turns out that it works a treat! Check it out!:



Yeah I know it's a bit of a grey mess but that's cause I haven't got the hang of texturing the particles yet!... baby steps people! Anyway, you can see the white collar around the neck of my trusty assistant, Gal, and it's what's emitting those particles- constantly on the fly... wuunderbar!!!

It's absolutely perfect as it means that I can add about 4 or 5 emitters to a body mesh and give the effects of fire or steam or light balls or whatever I want! I'm sorted!!! Basically, as I've said before, the better bodies system places clothes/armour over the base body mesh instead of replacing sections of the base mesh (such as torso, arms etc) so that’s what’s allowing the particle emissions to work- the Morrowind game engine hasn’t got a clue what's going on so let's just keep it that way.

I'd just like to say- serious respect & fairplay to the Morrowind modding community- particularly the Better Bodies people. I wouldn't be able to do this without their ingenious system and they really deserve an award or something... tell ya what- if I get this thing finished with a day to spare I'll whip up a flaming suit of armour or the like & I'll probably release the particle effects suits back into the community as a token of my gratitude- I haven’t seem any about yet sooo hopefully they'll go down well.

Anyway- must concentrate and hurry the hell up and get this effects stuff finished up ASAP.
