== Would you be able to re-render the radiant effects? ==
 
Request from some traders, the effects have clouds in game that are not shown in the renders you uploaded. I tried to make them myself but my image is brighter than everyone else's and I do not care enough to try and figure that SFM nonsense out.

Hi there, I saw that you contributed the hat unusuals effect pictures for the Summer 2024 update, have you had any issues opening the .pcf file containing these unusual effects? I'm trying to contribute the taunt unusual effects, but the .pcf file (only this file) containing those effects keeps crashing Source Filmmaker for me and it's confusing me on why it is.

Unusual Effects for Summer 2024

Hi there, I saw that you contributed the hat unusuals effect pictures for the Summer 2024 update, have you had any issues opening the .pcf file containing these unusual effects? I'm trying to contribute the taunt unusual effects, but the .pcf file (only this file) containing those effects keeps crashing Source Filmmaker for me and it's confusing me on why it is.

Hi, I planned to investigate this today. The crashing mixed with CPU issues I was having at the time made me unable to look into it until now. SFM has a lot of misc. compatibility issues with live TF2 particles. ~ Boba 20:25, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

SFM does not use the same version of the particle engine as TF2. It is simultaneously both updated and outdated in different ways. It's not uncommon for effects to render incorrectly or straight up crash. This specific batch had the most amount of issues I've had to fix for an Unusual batch to date, due to the technical aspects of some of the effects. The only way to fix it is to work around it or spend a few hours isolating the problem effects and editing them directly. ~ Boba 19:04, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
