jondaniels61 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Just wondering how to go bout taking, say.. the mini nuke explosion effect and making it visibly bigger. Mainly concerned with the visual aspect, but would also like to know how to increase blast radius of explosive projectiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelhate Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Explosions are mainly made with Particles Systems (one of the most complex nif structure), a bunch of tweaked settings inside combined with larger textures can make them look bigger but can also make a PC choke. I don't know about blast radius but info about that should be easier to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have basic knowledge of nifskope and general weapon creation in geck but thats about it. Im guessing i shouldnt attempt this so i dont break things? I was basically trying to make a projectile using either an upscaled mini-nuke effect or downscaled megaton bomb effect, for that real nuclear detonation feeling.

You can up and down their physics easy. The art work you see , is another thing. But you should stop thinking in 1 explosion dimension.Take the core visual explosion and add others around it . Make them have no force , with only the initial having force you increased.Or deal with the multi explosion force ... do some tests to see what you get . Modding is all about the testing ... then the hair pulling .You think you will some how have a perfect mod experience with the help of the mod boards ? NOT ! and us that spent time hair pulling won't allow it . Hehe .... err I mean the laws of physics . HOWDY Pixlehate ! Good to see you again ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
