Sparklies!

I need some help, I can't figure out how people make the shiny sparkle like in jewelry. I know it's a particle script but all my experimenting gets me lots of particles now just the shiny light type. If someone would help me I'd be eternally grateful

I have the script if you can wait 5 hours ill be happy to give it to you.

I can definitly wait that long, It'll only be 9:30 pm here (gotta love the west coast) just IM me when you get the time

Ok i will be in world in about 5 hours. You can keep building your stuff because all you do is drop the sscript in it.

Hi Billy,

Could I please have a copy of this script too?

Thanks!

If someone could drop a sparklie script to me as well, I would appreciate it! I was able to get one, but the flash is HUGE and uneditable. What I have been wanting to work with is something more subtle.. Hehe

I am facing the same problem. While learning a lot about the in's and out's of particle scripts, I can't seem to duplicate the sparkly effects on jewelry.

Thanks!

If possible i'd appreciate a copy of the script as well. TY

If it is not too much trouble could you pass on a copy of the script also

You mean the bling script?

Thank you thank you, Newgate. It works great.

The Particle Laboratory has recently grown a library of "Basic Particle Effects",
which includes a sample bling script, as well as jet flame, steam, fire, smoke,
fountain spiral, and others. No scripting knowledge necessary.

There are also four new examples showing different ways to set up particle targets.
Due to the nature of setting up targets, some awareness of scripting is necessary
to get best use out of these.

(All sample scripts are free, copyable, modifyable.)
