Fluxing Flux Capacitor

Recommended Posts

In the game you have a modelled Flux capacitor in the car and on the train,but is it possible to make it flux when you turn the time circuits on and flash during time travel

We could make the effects, but the engine's capabilities for rendering transparencies leave a lot to wish for; so, the effects won't show through glass and you'd only see them when you open the door and look inside. Same problem with the Status Indicator Display and the plasma and wormhole when looking out from the inside.

The one in the train already flashes. One glow is enough to make the effect.

i mean you can see it fluxing inside the car when you are looking behind and on the train on the front

We're going for consistency here. If you can't see the effects from the outside with the car's doors closed and the windshield intact, then there's no point in adding them.

The train already has that effect. Different from the DeLorean, the Train's flux capacitor doesn't glow brighter when commencing temporal displacement.

sorry, i didn't notice but inside the car would be possible ?

As I said in my first post, it would be possible to add them, but you won't see them because of the glass in the flux capacitor (if you're looking from inside) and the windows/windshield (looking from outside); so, what's the point?

that the players could see the flux capacitor in action as it is in real life

It's not a point if it doesn't have consistency. Transparency issues mean no flux capacitor glow effects for any of the DeLoreans and that's final :(

well, Carlos, how do you explain this:

Shot out window? (assumption without watching the video)

Adobe Premiere and Adobe AfterEffects are your friends when editing videos for special effects.

If we could do those, you'd have them since 0.2D.

Honestly it doesn't look like Adobe cause it doesn't glow but merely turns blue and the SID changes too. more like a texture change.... odd

Most likely. The camera stays still all the time. Just add some colors and then a black semi-transparent layer so it blends with the background.

[irony]How about making the flux capacitor carcol-compatible and mimic the animation that way?[/irony]

actually it doesn't. maybe for 100 ms, just before the sequence in front of the DeLorean is shown. But not for the rest of that sequence with the "glowing" flux capacitor.

Actually, it's not on the YT account.

CJ, it was either a still image that was photoshopped, or the effects were done post filming. Either way, it's not possible in VC so don't persist with pushing the issue.
