has anyone seen any good flame thrower type examples? I'm working on one but am having trouble getting it to look realistic. Are there any that are current;y available?

Hi Folks,

Check out one of the many particle emitter programs available.

Later,

Jes

'Test2.bb' in 'LotusR2Lite' could be modified - the current effect is more like a spray of water so you'll need to change the particle type and probably the gravity a bit - 'Lotus R2' is copyright 2004 "Noel R. Cower".

I think it is this one:

If not, go into Blitzcoder's Showcase area and do a search on 'Lotus' - you'll get 4 or 5 of them.


This one:

might have a built-in flamethrower-type demo. I say that as I have just looked at a screen shot showing a biped character with a flameflower effect. I've not used 'ParticleWorks' though - but it might be worth checking out.

Thanks guys, I ended up getting mine to look pretty good, but I'm going to check these out as well.
