This is a collection of half-finished placeables I had been working on for a module of mine.
It includes a number of placeable VFX and objects that are suitable for extra-planar/mystical areas.
All of these are fairly resource intensive so use sparingly...I'll be uploading a demo module that shows them off as well.
Here's a rough list of what's included...for more detailed descriptions see the readme.txt file in the HAK:
1) Wall Of Force, Blocking
A placeable, animated wall of force with a walkmesh to prevent passage through it.
2) Wall Of Force, Walkthrough
A placeable, animated wall of force without a walkmesh...in other words you can walk through it...handy if you want to display a field that damages/affects characters when they walk through it
3) Placeable Fogs 1 through 5
Small Placeable Fogs...these do not tint based on are lighting and have no PWK
4) Placeable Energy point
Pure eye candy...a small animated point with a lensflare...no use nodes or anything...feel free to add them though.
5) Placeable Area Mist
A large placeable mist sufficient to cover a 5X5 area...this will tint based on area lighting.
6) Placeable Floor Shimmer
A large emitter designed to make a floor shimmer sufficient to cover a 5X5 area.
7) Hellish Spike
A large bone-like spike sticking out of the ground. Doesn't have proper use/target nodes or chunk emitters.
8) Hellish Tusk
A large bone-like Tusk sticking out of the ground. Doesn't have proper use/target nodes or chunk emitters.
9) Hellish Spiral-Horn
A large Spiraling Bone/horn sticking out of the ground. Doesn't have proper use/target nodes or chunk emitters.
10) Hellish Obelisk
A large Evil looking obelisk with emitters and a fadeable top portion. Doesn't have all proper nodes or a chunk emitter.
11) Border Rocks
Large Rock formations for forming static irregular borders around an area....NOTE: THE SECOND ONE DOESN'T HAVE A PWK or FADEABLE CAP YET...IT'S JUST A ROUGH MODEL
12) Floating runes
More eye-candy...floating runes that have on and off animations.
By all means go right ahead...They're up here for people to make use of however they can.

>> Yes, the effect does fade as you move in large areas.
It's an engine issue you cannot avoid, so, it's better to make 5x5 placeable a little smaller: 4x4 plane already doesn't give that effect.

Fx placeables rule! It's a damn shame you didn't finish that mod, that'd be awesome eye candy. _________________________ [size=3]Look at me. I'm special.[/size]
