Pointsprites per-point sizing
I''ve been taking a look on point sprites, and made a search on this forum, but I still wonder if someone succeded on a particle system wich allows per-point sizing* (each vertex has its own size) as well as alpha blend and other issues related to particle systems, I''ve been trying doing this, but I got tired of point sprites, so I wonder if they''re worth.
I''m using this FVF and the size parameter seems to be ignored all the time

anyone?
Just wanna know if people working on Point sprites acomplished what they wanted.
your struct data is wrong
check the d3d sdk for the order of the data;
Are you trying in hardware or software? I ask becase I tried this in hardware then found out it wasn''t working because my GeForce 4 doesn''t support this type of operation.
Thanks, now I can scale them, however the acceptable range is from 0.000f to 1.50f is this OK?, my d3dcapsviewer said my maximum Point Size was 64 (?) and the alpha component of my color is being ignored
this is my FVF
and this are my render flags
thanks.
this is my FVF
struct MyPOINTSPRITE{ FLOAT x,y,z; FLOAT size; D3DCOLOR color;};#define D3DFVF_MyPOINTSPRITE (D3DFVF_XYZ|D3DFVF_PSIZE|D3DFVF_DIFFUSE)
and this are my render flags
m_pD3DDevice->SetRenderState( D3DRS_ALPHABLENDENABLE, TRUE ); m_pD3DDevice->SetRenderState( D3DRS_SRCBLEND, D3DBLEND_SRCCOLOR ); m_pD3DDevice->SetRenderState( D3DRS_DESTBLEND, D3DBLEND_SRCALPHA );
thanks.
What about the texture stage states?
Have you set your alpha op to "select arg 1", and your arg1 to be
"diffuse"?
In general, I suggest:
- Reading all the docs about point-sprites (and about everything you want to do, also)
- Taking a copy of the point-sprite sample that comes with the SDK and play with the code until you become familiar with how point-sprites work.
