Here's an electric beam particle effect that I've been working on.
The particle system uses UDK's beam effect to create bolts of electricity that go to two different target points. Through kismet, the target points can be given random positions over time to create a tesla coil type of effect. I'm currently working on a tutorial for setting up the materials, particle system, and kismet to create the effect, which I will be posting soon. I'd like to thank
Ryan for all his help in setting up the materials and kismet. Here are some images of the particle system in UDK.
The next particle that I'd like to do is a water splash for the rain barrel that I made. Here are a few references that I've found.
The Eat 3d cascade video will probably be good to reference when working on this effect as it has a section on making water drips.
