Necris Nanoblack

[MonsOlympus]

Okay so we have alot of concepts floating around and I thought I would ask for the communities help. I know what the nanoblack from UT3 looks like and I can see what Epic are doing with their characters but Im in need of some gaseous effects, nanoblack clouds and streams for my Vampire Mutator which will eventually become a Species attribute for all Necris (including Humans/Skaarj/etc).




Basically the way I see this as somewhat of a living entity, that the nanite swarms have a collective mind though simplistic they are still living. If Epic or anyone else has any different ideas on the topic or a direction they would like to go already Id love to hear it Id just really like to get the ball rolling here, I can use the particle editor and photoshop but Im out of practice drawing so Id be super appreciative of any and all input

This is what I came up with so far, I dont want to deviate too much from the nanite swarm idea and this could certainly use some more physics turbulence like a flame in the wind.

looks cool, like an swarm of bees or fly's on the dusk
