"Encantado" is Spanish for "Charmed." This scene is inspired by a popular enchanted kingdom series in the Philippines.
* New Version 2 Update. I have always wanted to update this scene, since it is one of the first scenes that I posted to the Hub. Version 2 greatly reduces dependencies, resulting in a 69% reduction in the VAR size. It also removes the need for the web panel--thanks to a good friend @mspeck01. While I was making these updates, I also enhanced many of the original elemental effects (water, earth, weather and fire), added a new spacebox, and included a new brighter intensity portal effect that was originally included in the Farger of All Particles. I placed the elemental particle effects in a separate VAR post to simplify incorporating the effects into other scenes, so this is a new dependency for this scene.
This scene includes an animation sequence of particle effects that are timed with music. A "click here to begin" button will start the animation and music sequence. To the left and rear of the scene you will find a volume slider for the music. Since the performance of each computer setup can differ, I have included a slider to adjust the sequence timing with the music, as needed. The slider controls the timing of the chain of events, not animation speed. This value might need to be slowly changed to test the scene out fully. When the scene comes to completion, Saiko will stop spinning around, and a reset button will appear over the volume slider at the rear of the scene. Clicking "reset" will set the scene back to the starting point and reactivate the "click here to begin" button.
I know some folks might want me to upgrade this scene with something like Timeline, but I think it is fun to see some of the clunky ways that animation patterns can be constructed to do the trick.
