Ever wonder how an effect is going to look? Well most people know this, but if you don't, this is what you do.

>>>>>>>>>=---------------------------=<<<<<<<<<<
DL Source:SDK This is a source development kit. It allows you make maps, mods, models, and much more.
Next, run Source SDK and a window will pop up.
Under Applications, run Hammer Editor. This allows you to make maps, and see textures. un our case, textures are Sprites, effects and materials.
A program will run up called Hammer. Before you do anything, go to File and click New. Now, 4 boxes will appear. those are for making maps. If you go to the right side of this program, you will see a texture, sizing, and browse, and replace. Click Browse.
Now what ever kind of texture you want, from glass to brick, just type it in the search engine inside the window that pops up. In our case, just type in sprites.
Now just scroll down and you will see the effects used in any type of skill! Easy, easy easy to just create your own sfx and view the effect before using it!

You can also type in Effects to get other vmt. files! Hope this help you out!

The title is sort of misleading, what you just described allows you to see what the .vmt for your effects is but it does not actually generate how it will look like in game. But a helpful tip nontheless

I don't think you can make, "Custom Effects" like that. Unless you can make the files .vmt, however I don't think so.
Then again, I've been proven wrong before  Wink
