Scripted Effects Choreographer
Orchestrate the timing and placement of many different effect types using an advanced effects choreographer.
Spellcasting Effects
Represent a varied assortment of magic spells: quick instants, elaborate conjuring's, long-lasting buffs and debuffs, damage over time, area effects, guided projectiles, creature summonings, resurrections, teleportations and even flying.
Selectrons
Highlight targets and object selections with style. Selectrons are designed specifically for selection highlight and free targeting feedback effects. The same repertoire of client effects used for magic spells, are also available for selectrons.
Constraint System
Independently constrain the position and orientation of any effect to other scene objects such as a spellcaster, target, projectile or the camera. Attach effects to animated objects nodes, such as a character's hand or foot. Create complex tracking effects using constraint history. Aim effects at the camera or other objects. You can even constrain effects to other effects.
Ready-Made Effects
Get a head start on your magic spell and other effects with a huge set of pre-built example spells. Most are complete implementations of showcase spells (with audio and lighting), covering a range of spell types typically found in RPG and other MMO games. Nearly all of the ready-made effects are compatible with both TGE and TGEA while their lighting and materials are carefully tuned for each engine.
