What is the best explosion available in BGE?

Hello, Im making an FPS where I shoot aliens. I want the aliens to explode into a green gush when I shoot them, appart from having 2 planes with an explosion texture, what would be the best way?

Where can I find Sdgeoff?

ThaTimst3r also has a nice tutorial on explosions if you are a more visual learner.

edit: was not satisfied with my own link :smiley:

here is a home made 3d explosion,

… from the depths of the web, a form begins to coalesce. A loud voice booms forth: “IT IS SDFGEOFF, WHY HAVE YOU SUMMONED ME” …

Theatrics aside, explosions are not simple things. Even a small grenade will have many parts:

  • flame
  • glow
  • fuzzyness
  • small particles
  • sparks

Each of these can be separate parts, moving, rotating, growing differently.

So to make you own explosipn, break it up into small bits. So, green alien gunk. To be honest, I have no idea how it explodes. So sit down for a little, shut your eyes, and visualize how you want it to look. Now break it into parts: flying gobs of green, steam arising from the puddles. Now that you have this firmly in yoyr mind, open blender, and start modeling.

On 2d sprites, they are seen as quit old-tech, but get the job done fast, and if done properly, they can look good.
