Looking for free particle system engine?
Author
Hi.
I am looking for free particle system engine. Which one do you use?
bye and thank you,
ivan
I hate to be the one to say this, but have you tried google? I can find a least a hundred different particle engines out there - many of which come complete with full source code. There are also a number of books available that show some great particle systems.
Meeeee....!

Hope it fits the bill
Editor too
Let me know your concerns, so I can incorporate them into a new paricle engine. cppman@ufl.edu
Gamedev for learning.
libGDN for putting it all together.
An opensource, cross platform, cross API game development library.

That is pretty cool actually. lot''s of options. The biggest thing I see missing from you system is key framing. In frame 1 I want this behaviour. frame 2 0.5 sec later I want to add this. frame 3 1.5 seconds later I want a fade out etc. etc.
I have just tested for a minute or two and might have missed how to do it.

Yeah, unfortunatly it''s not possible with the current engine. The next one will do that and more.

I swear particle engines are the coolest things. Currently I''m working on one, but havn''t quite finished it. It''s reading from a text file, and has syntax checking, etc, but I think I''ll switch to binary after I get it working and make an editor for it. Man there sooooooo cool I got pretty decent frame rates with your engine, even with 3000 particles. Good job

Thanks, a new one is forthcoming in the coming months.

Hi, I tried your engine. Yes, I need something like it. Unfortunally, on one machine it works ok(nvidia), on other it crashes(ati). Any clues?
I need particle engine for simulating smoke coming out of damaged ship. What was that talk that I can not control frame rate?
But I would like to try at least a few engines before setling for one. I tried googling, but I am never lucky with google. So can please tell me which engines do you use.

It's really not that hard doing one youreself and it is really giving.
I learned from <link>www.codesampler.com
EDIT: trying to figure out how to do links the easy way...

Doing it that it looks good is at least very time consuming, so I really pray to find something allready writen :-)
