flame thrower effect

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/flame thrower effect

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.
