Particle Studio

[wh1sp3r]

Hey, I am working on a tool for my team and perhaps, i will share it too

 

So, what is it ?

It's a editor, where you can design whole game effect like explosions, dust, animations with lights and sounds.

You can use a timeline to put emitters, lights, sounds here and make animations.

 

You can make transitions between parameters, positions, so you are able to design a sequence of explosions and other animations.

 

This is a first screenshot from app: It's not much, I am lazy to make better one, hehe

 

I am still on begining, but transitions are working now, you can see a timeline with keyframes for one emittor.

 

 

How to play animations in your C++ app ? It's simple .. i will make a small library with few commands, and you will be able to play, pause, stop, parent this animation and get state if animation etc.

Perhaps, i will make this library in lua too so, everybody can control it via messages for example.

i hope, this app will be usefull ;-)

That looks *really useful*. Keep us appraised, we could certainly use it.

[Pancakes]

hehe looks great to me too!

 

hopefully some day I can do something useful for the community

[Michael Betke]

Looks great looking forward to do it. I also like the simple and clean UI.

I think you still need physics objects when you want to make rain which doesn't go through houses.

[VicToMeyeZR]

very cool.. Good job

[Marleys Ghost]

Looks good so far Wh1sper .. will there be a video showing it in action?

[Pixel Perfect]

Sounds great but like MG .. I need to see a vid of it in action to get me all fired up and wanting it

[wh1sp3r]

ok It's still lots of work, but i will show something soon ,hehe

[Sooshi]

your UI looks cool whisper

[dreamhead]

great work like always

[wh1sp3r]

hehe, thank you

 

I will add a material selection now and a grid for better orientation in world, then i will make a introducing video about it.

[Richard Simpson]

Cool. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

[Pancakes]

I think it's going to be badass

[Raul]

Nice. This tool will help us for sure

[Sooshi]

is this still in development?

[carlb]

yes it is he just been slow lol

and working on other stuff at the same time

[Sooshi]

awsome dude, cant wait..

[Sooshi]

also I am really itching to see how water and fire looks with this

[wh1sp3r]

hmm yes, Carl is right .. I am slow, because I am working on more stuff at the same time.

 

I have new ideas for particle editor, so i decided rewrite it

if you have any ideas, what it should do, it's a great time to write it there before I start again.

[Michael Betke]

you better write some design doc what your tool have to do and then start.
