We obtain this dynamic by adding further tails, which are serially similar from the basic data. To make the effect appear fine and elegant, we choose a small spark size of 50%.Īs described above, a tail is always dynamic and glowing. We choose a longer burn time of the sparks (1.8) and a low variance (14%), since this is the main effect of our bomb, which is continuously improved in the further steps. In this example we choose 70%.įor the main tail we choose a slightly higher density (100) but a smaller width (0.3), as it should look like the tip pulls the main tail behind it. To get realistic effects, you should never go over 100% of the spark size for the tails. So at the tip of our tails the sparks burn for almost the same time. We also set the spark burn time to be very short at 0.5 seconds, and the variance in the burn time should be barely noticeable at 14%. We fully exhaust the flight time (2-100%) - this refers to all tails added to the effect, choose a relatively low density (75) and a small width (0.7). What should be considered for our silver palm now?Īs already described above, the tips of the tail are the lightest and should of course also appear silver. For silver effects, 4-5 tails are usually sufficient, for more complex ones, such as Titanium Gold can quickly get 12-15 tails that burn down at the same time! To make the tail effects in FWsim son as realistic as possible, we have to put several tails on top of each other.

Relation of reality to FWsim - creating a realistic tail! These sparks burn up and are therefore no longer as bright as the tip of the tail.Īfter the sparks have burned down, there is usually a thin gold tail left over, black powder from the effect set, which still glows a little in the sky. The individual sparks are ejected and burn for different lengths of time. The tip of the tail burns the brightest and thus lights up almost white.

The tails themselves burn and glow, so they are not only dynamic in their movement, but also in their coloring and burning.Ī silver tail is a very simple but good example:
