Suggestions for Particle/Sound FX?

[Ech0Chamber]

I'm currently in Hawaii away from my main PC where I do all my work. I want to ask this stuff now, so when I come back home I will be prepared to work on my animation project right away.

Particles I could easily search for my self unless there's something on SFM lab I don't know about yet. Now you might be wondering "But why aren't you finding this stuff your self? Why ask here?" After this day I won't be able to get on as much as I will be traveling around for my vacation in Hawaii, so it's important I figure this stuff out now.


I'm looking for sounds/particle FX that would relate to fighting.
Slashes, Blood, Clashing, Sparks from the weapons, Flashes, Dust kicks from landing/steps, Electric, Swishes & Wooshes, Thrusts, etc...

Specific weapons being used: Electric Blue Spear, and a Knife.

Specific clothing: One model in the fight wears heavy armor, and another model in the fight wears casual clothing (Striped shirt, Boots/Shoes, Shorts)


For those that do help me find quality Sound Effects, and particles will be shown in the credits at the end of the project as a special thanks.

I appreciate your time, and research.

To give you a better idea of what I'm dealing with in terms of a fight here's the W.I.P animation.

NOTE: This was uploaded long ago from now, and there's been major changes since. (New Model, New animated scenes, etc...) But there has not been much change sound wise.

I won't be able to listen your SFX packs until after my trip, so I'll have to be the judge how good they are until I'm home.

TF2 and HL2 already have tons of good sfx in sfm. Not to mention, Portal 2 and L4D2 dlcs also have them.

For more particles, look at tf_movies/particles where there are some Dota2 particles like hero_razor.pcf.

Well… I've got plenty of video samples in my workshop item so give them a good watch and I'm pretty sure you'll be amazed

The internet here suffers, so I'll see about it if the damn video loads. Thanks.

Basically the fight sound effects are from mkx and other places the collector of the sfx extracts. So there's gonna be an array of punches, wooshes and gore like blood splatter to decapitation to blood squirting out from veins.

The medieval sfx are from some ps2 game 6 years ago so there's a good bunch of sword sfx and not to mention about mkx being in the pack too. The pack will soon be updated to include other sfx from other characters that utilizes things like swords

The magic sfx pack also came from the ps2 game 6 years ago along with mkx in the pack too. Will be updating to include other characters that uses magic like ermac, Quan Chi and shinnock (hopefully spelled right)

Over time I'd assume those sound effects have been changed, and refined over the years, so if I do find sounds similar to those that have more of an impact I'll let you know. Aside from that I know I can't rely entirely on your sound collection of course. I enjoy variety, and new things people have heard so little of. So if there is other suggestions that'd be great.

Well… my sound effects pack are merely modified to be compatible for sfm. I simply save everyone's time than having them to sit down and convert everything to 44100Hz sample rate while they have something better to do.

If you want more and willing to sit and convert to sfm compatible sounds then this website is for you

Much Obliged. I'm going all out with my current SFM experience in this project any way, so it wont be any trouble to convert a few sound files.
