Greetings

I´ve coded a Function-Library to create and handle Clouds and Clusters of Particles. See the Documentation inside the archive for more.

Edit: Version 2.5 is now avaible.

Dude you legend!

Thats awesome, it almost simulats volumetric fog... in B3D!

Are you going to be giving this away or turn it into some sort of include library?

Which ever you do, make sure it goes in the blitztools section!

Wicked work.

Interesting, in a fluffy kind of way.

The best clouds in real time I have seen on Blitz3D.


Bouncer(Posted 2005) [#5]
Awesome work shodan!

xmlspy: that's because there hasn't been any ;)

Actually Gile[s] creator had shown a video of his cloud system, but it wasn't running on my pc, so can't say that they were the best! Shodan's work is still No. 1.

@ICECAP :

Do you know how to store it into Blitztools?


Panno(Posted 2005) [#8]

I think you need to contact one of the admins... not sure who that is really.

Try going into the contact tab and selecting webmaster from the drop down and ask the question.

Really great work - and amazing to give away the source code too. Thanks :)


Mustang(Posted 2005) [#12]
Nice!


Ross C(Posted 2005) [#13]
Nice man. I was working on something similar and didn't know whether to fade the far away clouds in. Nice work :o)


WildStorm(Posted 2005) [#14]
very nice!


VIP3R(Posted 2005) [#15]
Very impressive, nice job Shodan :)


Shodan(Posted 2005) [#16]
Thanks at all for positive Feedback. :-)

Important News!
If youre try to implement it in a big project, please wait until next week. I must redesign it to include Load- and Save-Clouds, so the next Version will become incompatible with the actual.

Shodan(Posted 2005) [#17]
Now its time for Version 2:
I think its now final, because youre feature-requests are lot enougth. ;-)
The new Zip-file is uploaded.
I´ve changed the link at the first entry, see above.
The exe´s are not included, to make the file smaller.
Look at the readme.

This rocks...
The glowing cloud demo looks like explosions to me


Shodan(Posted 2005) [#23]
Thanks

Use Positioning and scaling functions to expand and grow such clouds to generate Explosions. change also colors during expanding to get realistic results.

Raitsun(Posted 2005) [#24]
Got really neat looking explosions... the coolest thing: They still look amazing while standing near or even IN them!!!! with the right soundeffects this would be the most realistic explosions i've seen in a 3d-game so far...


Shodan(Posted 2005) [#25]
A little bugfix for Version 2.5
UpdateClouds() causes an error when no cloud is created.

It looks very pretty indeed but the examples ran really choppy on my PC even when at what seemed their maximum of 30fps.


Filax(Posted 2008) [#35]
