I started experimenting with particle effect modding and it turned out to be way easier than expected. So I now added some effects to the Volcano Expedition of Morgenröte and some other Journal Entries.

The video shows the Volcano Expedition Journal Entry with ashes raining down and black smoke at the bottom.

Some other examples:

I have started to commission some loading screens lately from an artist called Angel. All Loading Screens are CC4.0 BY-NC, so feel free to use them as you wish (except for commercially) :)

They are used to replace loading screens made by AI and show scenes from science, sports, arts and lifestyle of the Victorian age.

The one shown here is a scene inside an airship (inspired by the Hindenburg). If you are wondering why they are smoking, the Hindenburg actually had a pressurized compartment specifically for smoking.
