Hey, I'm looking to try and do a small dogfight between a fan-fic viper design and a Cylon Raider yet I don't really know how to get a decent bullet effect in Maya without it looking too much like a laser effect. Anyone know how to do this better?

    actually, to be honest, you don't see bullets mid-flight, unless they're a tracer round. Those are what you see with the glowing streaks, and, they kinda do look like laser blasts.

    What you would see, with bullets, would be the muzzle flash as the weapon fires, and maybe some sparks if the rounds hit their obviously metal target.

    I thought as much. Thanks
