Advanced Particle effects?

by Matthew Shapiro · in Technical Issues · 05/30/2002 (8:05 pm) · 3 replies

Anyone know where i can find information on advanced particle systems, as in shockwaves, lightning, and beams. I don't mind weither it's theory or code, I would just like some resources on how these are done.

thanks

Go look at the freespace 2 source; fs2 had (still has, imo) some of the nicest "particle" effects out there - beams, lightning, and the more usual particle effects.

Or take a look at this Gamasutra article - you have to be registered, though...

dunno, i looked throught the freespace 2 source code a while back and the fact that it was all in one file sorta made everything seem unorganized.....

Thanks for the gamustra article. reading it now.
