Nova continues learning the ALE :D

There’s no real way to fix that, apart from making absolutely no “fade-in”, that is the beam has its final appearance as soon as it is fired. I did that by just raising the emitting rate to an absurdly high value and similarly lowered the displacement time to an absurdly low value, making the beam “instant” so to speak.

Yes by emit rate he means the frequency. By the “displacement time” he means how long the particles last. I think the ALEs refer to that as lifetime.

The way to get the effect you’re looking for is with high frequency and short lifespan.

I also moved the emitter quickly using a Node_Transform animation, but I think Pressure on a ConeEmitter should do the trick too…

Take advantage of BasicApp_HToVAspect with a good texture (sarma would work, but a custom one would be best).

Hey! your lasers are material! Cool! but not realistic… a laser is a light buffer and it can’t be a visible material, it staies a light! but you made all of you want!

Great job!

Any ideas how to create such flash effect?
