Beams, for sort of wind

[Cryptic Runner 2.3k]

Beams could be useful to make like animated rainbows, animated cartoon wind, and a bunch of other cool stuff! It's sort of like in Roblox.

3 different methods on how to beam:

1. take a plane, apply a beam texture, stretch to desired length, scale textures accordingly
2. take a cylinder, make extremely large cylinder texture map, apply beam on sides, elongate to desired length
3. take a cube or cylinder, stretch to desired length, apply maximum brightness, add particles with aura texture

too complicated and it looks ugly.

yeah but that's the fun part of mine-imator, jerry-rigging and rupe-goldberging the most complex contraptions in order to make neat looking effects that would otherwise be impossible to pull off

the point is: mine-imator is limited in features, but there are ways to subvert said limitations so long as you're resourceful and creative enough. look at some of the more complex rigs on here, such as minerig's dodge charger rig and you'll see what i mean
