Stone Effect.

ID:1215888 Mar 26 2013, 4:24 pm
Chwgt	I would have posted this somewhere else but seeing as I need help and want to post my progress I figured here would be ok. I'm trying to find a good way to make it look like the player is turning to stone. I haven't been able to find anything helpful, so any-help would be appreciated and I look forward to showing you guys the result.

Pandora'sSecret	You could Always do the medusa-type of changing. Making a player slowly fade to grey tones. it's easy and everyone recognizes it.

Kboy33	You could somewhat have stone coming from the feet of the base to the head as an animation ^-^

Dumb and lazy approach...

@Chwgt - I would have the entire character fully drawn in stone form. Then use the original character and have the stone form fade into a solid (non-transparent) color. While it's transitioning to the stone effect, add some cracks in the stone to make it look authentic...

Kboy33	Not dumb and lazy. It's another way of thinking about it. Branks, try to not put people down.

Southend_boi	you could make stones come from the ground and shoot towards the base absorbing the stones and slowly turning into stone ?

Chwgt	I do like the idea of individual stones. I'll give it a try, thanks guys.

Lokeen	How about cracking and turning into stone?

Gooseheaded	How about this? http://puu.sh/2RRvo.dmi This was made using Paint.NET, which is a "simpler" (and completely free) image editing tool than Photoshop, despite being just as good for just about anything, really.
