Anyone got any nice particles?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Anyone got any nice particles?

Hiya, I was wondering if anyone's got any nice little 32-bit png particles they'd be willing to share for free? Pretty please, as I seem rubbish at making them...

thanks to anyone who can help.

What type of particles are you looking for? I may be able to knock out a few for you.

Have a look on ParticleCandy, the demo comes with nine particles in a single png (if I remember right). The default ones: sparks, stars, clouds...etc.
For testing purposes this should do it.

ok thanks for the info. Well I need particles suitable for making little sparkles in a game so small glowing dots or stars I guess. Also something suitable for a firefly type thing.

I really want something I can use in my next commercial game so not sure if I should use the PArticle Candy ones onluess they are free...

You are welcome to use the ones I sent you previously that I use (to great effect) in my games.

I seem to remember Paint Shop Pro coming with a picture tube (if thats the correct term, it`s been a while) of sparkles. Or ExGen as I suggested once before might include some and is handy for future use as it can generate some great looking explosions.

QuickSilva: Thanks, I shoulda checked that out before... [edit] just did, only BMP support. It really needs to be PNG for the transparency needed in BMax games :-(

The Games Creators are selling Animated Sprites Package and it might be what you are looking for.

Is there a possiblility this particle engine will find its way into your framework? ;)

OT: Don't know if I've mentioned this before, but if I marry my girlfriend, guess what, I'll be related to the Krankies (Yes, that's right, the unfunny ones off the tele from years gone-by)... Champion! :/

LOL

Jimmy Krankie: Yes, It's already half added. Not sure advanced how it'll be. Right now I just want some decent free particles for my game :-)
