Hi,
what is all the white stuff bouncing about like chunks of rubber, as Hawkinge gets bombed ? Also looks like large scrunched up wads of paper, floating around.
Sizeable pieces of white and grey blocks rolling around, though its rolling in the opposite direction to its travel ! and it rolls for many seconds.
I think this is supposed to be chalk perhaps but as these particles hit the deck they would embed more so than roll and bounce as much as they do.

It just doesnt look right at all though. the explosions ae brilliant but this stuff is spoiling it.

Can such parts of the effects be turned off ?

How do I post the trk video file here ?

Cheers

Hi,

Sounds great, cant wait ! One realises how much work is going on behind the scenes with a list like that !

Meanwhile is there any chance of turning off that polystyrene at all, in the tick boxes ?

TF5 is a long way off yet , especially with that list ! ...so I wish to not see that some other way and capture a realistic video and stills.

Cheers

There isn't a way to turn off the polystyrene white blobs by untiring/ticking boxes. The effect is annoying and it has been fixed by the effects guys already (for, as I understand it, v4.5)
