While this is a very nice looking program, is there a plugin yet for it to export script for TGE?

Not sure I understand. PD Particles and PD Pro are used to create images. You can save them to various popular formats like Targa, Bmp, Tiff and Png. What would the script you ask about do?

Note that there is an open SDK for PD, you can see it at www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/sdk
With that, and if you know of another image format you want to save to, perhaps someone with knowledge of that format can write a plugin for it. It's rather easy on the sdk and interface to PD side, and it's been in with Visual Basic, Delphi and other dev systems.

I think he wants scripts for particle effects, not export to images. But that's just a guess.

Yeah I misunderstood the purpose of it, sorry. To be honest, I didn't pay close enough attention. I thought it was about PD Particles again.
