Megapak 2 coming soon...

I've started work on my Megapak 2...and I hope that it can be better than my first. I've been obsurving others and have picked up a few things, and I have some tricks up my sleeve. here's a few I've made so far...Pretty good ones too.

Any comments for me or any ideas of stuff I should make?

Whoops! Here's the right ape!

That ape is so damn good.

I have to say that those presets were quite a bit more original than your last pack. The last one looked pretty cool but I think that was down to the APE more than anything else (I really hate the timescope - but thats just me).

As for things to make, I would recommend you make something using a custom superscope or dynamic movement. It may be tricky at first but once you get into using them its just a matter of time and practice before you start chucking out some mental work.

Keep making them!

I NEED YOUR IDEAS!!!

Something for me to work off...My mind is dry from the first...

I have just made a really good black hole-type preset that looks awesome, using a new .ape posted on the main AVS board. Meant for low FPS's, so be warned if it is REALLY SLOW, that's how it is to be played.

try making a spinning 3d shape... thats what i do when i run out of ideas. :P

seriously tho' don't force yourself to make presets, theres no rush.

Too true. Remeber, it's the quality that counts. A pack of 200 bad presets won't get marked as well as one with 5 really good ones.

As for advice, try messing with other (or old) presets. See what you can make them do. Maybe don't use a standard fade. Use a really simple effect but fade it in a odd way.

another idea...

I have been trying for a long time to make the most realistic fire as possible

or else re-create Gigi d'Agostino's Bla-Bla or The Riddle 😉

1: I think that El-Vis has already done that with hellfire (one that looks like sauron from LOTR)

2: What the Hell are you talking about?
