Persona 4 Arena On Hit Effects - chicka33 - 03-04-2013
I've downloaded Aigis from http://www.spriters-resource.com/other_systems/persona4arena/index.html and I'm curious about a few things:
Check video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbYvblCtz1I
When the character, Aigis, idles, there's a glow effect around her. Is the glow effect a sprite or something related to GLSL/HLSL shader effects (Programming wise)? This question also applies to her skills/attacks, for example, when Aigis performs an attack at 32 seconds in the video, all the visual effect, are those sprites?
Thanks~ I appreciate it if anyone could answer this question.

Heh I'm surprised no one answered you. Those are clearly not sprites, just glowing effects. I don't know how they make them, but I can identify that they aren't sprites.

they're particle systems at work. it's the magic of modern-day console rendering circa 2003 which they use to animate highly chaotic systems of fuzzy phenomena through the directions set by an "emitter"
in english, that basically means "how they make fire look cool in videogames"
they're rendered in 3D, so basically, yeah in terms of ripping things from fighting games it's more or less programming.
I'd assume you'd have to use a 3D modeling program in order to extract them and even still, it'd be an animation so much as an actual tangible texture or sprite that you'd rip :/
