Effects
- particle effects: debris, dust, hay, leaves, mist, smoke, splash, steam, swarms (birds, insects)
- reflection: floors (marble, metal), most metallic surfaces, walls (marble only?), water (+ puddles), weapons; pixel shaders; see environmental texture mapping
- shadows: vertical angle adjustment, fading; NPCs, moving objects, clouds
- skeletal animation
- transparency: fire, glass, light beams, projectile trails, smoke, steam, water
- other: blurring, depth of field, pixel/vertex shaders (reflections)
atmospheric/environmental
- dust: footsteps, impacts, light beams
- lightbeams: vents, windows (some)
- shards: ceramic, wood
- smoke: burnt rubble, cauldrons, chimneys, fire, incense burners
- steam: animus underfloor machinery, vents
- water: puddles, splash, spray
- weather: fog/haze
- clouds (moving)
- wind: dust, fabric, hay
- other: fire, projectile trails; see particle effects, physics, and sound
lighting
physics
- engine: Havok

- ragdoll bodies
- swaying fabric
- swinging lights/signs
texture
