Fantasy and Sci-Fi Effects

Zap, sizzle, crackle, and glow! This effects set provides a large variety of dramatic and beautiful fantasy and sci-fi effects-- magical shields, glowing barriers, lightning bolts, muzzle flashes, and more. The set consists of five figures, each with its own array of features and possibilities (see Features List below).

Easy to Use. Just load in the effect figure you want, size and position it, apply a MAT file (or a D/S material preset), and render.

Easy to Animate. All figures are either poseable or have components (bodyparts) that can be independently sized and positioned.

Easy on Resources. Total polygon count for all figures is less than 5,000.

No Grey-Out or Dark Edges. Although effects look best against a dark background, they render nicely against light backgrounds, too-- see Popup 8.

Versatile. 75 presets for a wide variety-- and you can create many variations merely by moving and resizing the components (see Popup 7). You can also create your own custom effects by changing ambient color, switching transmaps, or even creating your own maps. (Customizing requires knowledge of material settings in Poser or surfaces settings in DAZ Studio.)

Works in Poser 4, 5, and 6, as well as in DAZ Studio.
