I started this post because I wanted to have a place where users could come and get more effects for the new plugin popcornfx.
If you have imported effects from the editor, you may have come to realize that not all effects work as shown in the editor when imported into iClone 7.
I also realize that not everybody is a programmer and unfortunately, programming is the only way to correct most of the major axis issues and add attributes.
I will be posting effects that work with the correct axis and with custom attributes. I want to make sure that if you have no desire to program your own effects, that the effects I provide are user friendly and give a wide range of possibilities. I look forward to seeing what you guys create with these.
All download links are in the link description.
Riot DominoKLv1 0
Has more than 80 Attributes this effect can create a wide range of effects experiment with all sliders turn things on and off to create diffrent effects.
Popcorfx PartyTimeKLv2.0
This effect was fun to create it also has lots of customization,also if you previously downloaded this effect make sure you upgrade to version 2.0

WOW!!! Tank you sooo much Kevin L !!! May I can suggest a request ? I tried to make this PopcornFX tutorial to get the plasma ball. After the
third scripting line , everything was a mess and never get the result. Could you provide it?
And I'm trying also to make getting the most often used effect called warp effect. I tried to isolate it of the teleporter popcorn exemple but I've no control
parameter of everything.....

I can't get a lot of the particle effects to work properly.
The "water wake" effect does not rotate.... I cannot get it to follow a boat properly because it can't stay flat (horizontal) and rotate around corners.
The "fur" effect does not appear on the sampled mesh, it appears in a different location than the mesh and cannot be accurately positioned.
I also cannot get most of the emitters to rotate properly when their appearance is set to "horizontal".
Any help is appreciated!
Jason

This is a very cinematic effect very customizable and great for sci-fi.
But could be used for many applications enjoy.

Hi mtakerkart I hope you enjoy the effects,I will check out the tutorial for the plasma ball and look at the warp effect and try and make that for the community.
Also hello jasonjbrown I will see what I can find out about your issues with the fur and water I have not used any of the popcornfx library 40 effects yet
And as for the mesh sampler the,mesh sampler can be used for many things some example are position velocity collision and more there may be an offset in that effect
you're using from your picture it looks like your sampling the cylinder on the left side and the fur is being spawned on the right is that correct I will check tomorrow.

My five cents.. maybe. Every time you add a line of script, hit "compile" at the bottom. If a line has syntax error, it would show it (script is case sensitive btw).

Oh thank you Kevin, I did get the fur problem fixed. It was solved on another thread.
The particle rotation issue is still a problem, especially the "water wake" which I need for this scene:

Programming I'm usually quite comfortable with, however popcornfx has me stumped. I tried changing axis but that didn't do anything. Mind you I haven't delved too far into it yet. One thing I'd like to know is how to expose the popcorn attributes so I can load custom sounds into an effect within iClone.

Hello mtakerkart here is quick wip video of the teleporter effect I,will release soon I have added mesh sampler.

Hello colonel_Klink to the best of my knowledge the, (CParticleRenderer Sound) cannot be exposed at runtime there is no attribute sampler just for sound playback.
that i am aware of The (CParticleSamplerSpectrum), spectrum sampler allows you to sample a realtime audio frequency spectrum.
If you find otherwise please let me know.
And by the way i see nothing.
Thank you mtakerart for the kind words,I cant wait to see what everyone creats with these enjoy.

Thanks for that! Nice work setting attributes. Comparing your version with the one I made by following a tutorial cleared up attributes subject and how they're bound to functions.
I just wish I have the source for super tools so I can fiddle with them, trying add some missing attributes.

Hi, guys I just wanted to respond to some question.
If you're willing to convert the Static-shield in Iclone format with some setting.... Let's say rotation, scale, translation, changing texture, etc...
mtakerkart yes I will take look at the static shield and make one for the community. I will also make the plasma ball. I see that jlittle has released his plasma effect also and thank you jlittle for the effect, is this converted for iClone7,
Hello Hj can you also share the pkfx files, so that i can see the steps to do it ?
I hope this answer will at least give you insight since I don't know your programming skill level. All but the most simple effects are comprised of multiple effects.
Every part of the effect has to be changed to work properly in iclone7, every change I make is through code, for every part of the effect.
As far as adding attributes, most of the effects that come with the editor have very few, if any attributes.So when I add my attributes, it is simply me adding what I think I would want in the effect and to have the most customization for that effect I am working on. I do not expose attributes that already exist, I'm creating them as i go.
So I hope you understand I can not release my code at this time, but if I can help with programming in other ways i'll be glad to.
Hi jasonjbrown.
It looks great, Kevin L..... how did you do it?
The effect was achieved by adjusting the physics settings and other attributes.

Hello Jlittle, In this effect the mesh changing does not work, no changing in the effect.I created that effect from the tutorial and added some of my own attributes but did not test it for movement.
I believe the original tut was mostly for projection onto surfaces and did not address movement.
I'll take a look when I get a chance and see what I can do.

hj (2/4/2018)
In this effect the mesh changing does not work, no changing in the effect.
That is because the mesh was only for displaying the inner sphere.
The Attribute Sampler "Source" is used to project the inside position of the particles (which is a sphere).
What you see as the Inner and Outer sphere have no relation to the plasma positions and are just visual items.
What you are looking for is a different effect than what the Plasma Ball was designed to do.
Here is an improved Plasma Sphere that can be moved (xyz) without the particles messing up.
I also replaced the inner sphere renderer with a billboard (was mesh).

hj (2/4/2018)
In this effect the mesh changing does not work, no changing in the effect.
I changed the Source Attribute Sampler shape from a sphere to a Mesh and used a sphere mesh to start with.
Imported into iClone and then replaced the Source mesh with a Podium object.
Did not work. Still projected onto the original sphere mesh.
Not sure what is going wrong, yet.

Here's a freebie for everyone. It's a take on the Plasma Ball but as Plasma Bars.
Note: You can only rotate the effect about the Z axis but can move it anywhere.
Various attributes for height, width, number of bars, color, etc.
Have fun wit it.

Hi Kevin
the texture are not missed, it does not be shown.
This does not change with new version for me
It seams to be a issue with energylife.

Hello hj
Hi Kevin
the texture are not missed, it does not be shown.
This does not change with new version for me.
After looking at your example here is what is happening, I am using velocity and time to create this part of the dark energy effect,
When the effect is scaled to large this happens, because the scaling is non-uniform only the width is scaled that is how the ribbon works, what appears to be billboards is the stretching of the texture due to a lack of velocity to fix this,I've added new attributes to tailor the effect even more this should resolve your issue plus create more graphic possibility be sure to experiment with the different setting to create even more variations of the effect.
Updated to v2.02 fixed missing texture in dark energy only showing billboard when scaled up added (DarkEnergyTextureType (0-3) allows choosing between different texture at runtime.Added (DarkEnergySpawnAmount , DarkEnergyUpAxisXYZ , DarkEnergyAccelXYZ , DarkEnergyVelocity)
Here is a small tutorial with your setting corrected.

I can't get a lot of the particle effects to work properly. The "water wake" effect does not rotate.... I cannot get it to follow a boat properly because it can't stay flat (horizontal) and rotate around corners. The "fur" effect does not appear on the sampled mesh, it appears in a different location than the mesh and cannot be accurately positioned. I also cannot get most of the emitters to rotate properly when their appearance is set to "horizontal". Any help is appreciated! Jason
The texture image of current distortion emitter cannot be rotated. This issue was reported as a known bug, and we are working on fixing now. The orientation of Gizmo will be taken into consideration when the align mode is Horizontal.

Hello hj.
Hi kevin
thank you for the Static_ShieldKLv1.0.May you can give them a "global Scale" to adapt it to different big characters ? This is how you can scale the effect in a limited fashion through its individual layers,the effect can be scaled by creating a primitive sphere in iclone and selecting that through the sampler list then changing the Bubble size and ShieldFacetSize and other attribute sizes.
The main layer gets its size from the default mesh that you can change at runtime, I will add a few more attributes to help with scaling of individual layers to help with this problem.As for global scaling for this type of effect it is, made from many layers so global scaling will not affect the vertex count the effect is created from parametric coordinates.So many changes will have to be made to each layer as you scale the effect to any large extreme, I will be making a new shield effect to take care of these issues soon.

Can you tell how to update the axis system?
|
|
By Warped Reality VFX - 8 Years Ago
|
Hello, eternityblue here's how I go about it when I downloaded the editor I install all the packages, set up two projects one to test the effect as it was designed and a iclone project, it has the iclone axis system setup correctly for iclone this is the first step. I then choose the effect that I will work on in this example HUD_Radar3.pkfx.
Once you open the effect you will notice that the radar trail and other parts of the effect are not oriented correctly, depending on how complicated the effect is and how it was designed, depends on the steps I will take this effect is composed of ten effects,so I then check what is driving the effect.
A effects orientation can be controlled by many conditions you will need to change all of them to correct for iclones axis system. The first place to check is physics change the force orientation for simple effects this can solve most issues. the next step is to see if any curves are controlling orientation and then change them to correct for orientation the third and final step is you will have to go through every line of code and make changes for axis by creating your preferred vector float3(,0,0,0) I hope this help.

Will it be possible one Day to have IClone render something like Water or Ocean Waves the same way that Houdini does it? Is there a way to make that with Popcorn?
|
|
By Warped Reality VFX - 8 Years Ago
|
Helly jollyro here is one way to try and achieve this in popcornfx.
Particle layers can now be driven from an offline simulation cache, generated from Houdini for example.
There is also using the turbulence sampler these two methods will not be a true fluid simulation and rendering quality will not be the same as rendering in Houdini but with some effort, you can fake it.,daz3d also has a new fluid simulation plugin named fluidos derived from the works of G.L.Ryan and C. Batty maybe reallusion could make a plugin for iclone.
here are links with more info.
