Hi

is there a good shader for flames?!

Actually, I need an advice too!

I want to have real looking flames in my level,, specially for torches and candles


shall I use the particle system of the engine?!
or a 3D animated model with shader
or a 2D animated sprite with shader

I am using A8 pro
and I really need your advice

You should use the particle system. If you're not satisified with the results you can later on add a simple model that distorts the area around the heat source. But with the particle system alone you can get pretty good results.

Use particles together with this shader: http://www.opserver.de/wiki/index.php/Flame_Shader

It seems that I have to try,, the problem that particles need fx artist and I do not have that touch of artists

Thanks Uhrwerk for your reply

Thanks Espér I will try,, you mean I will attach the shader to the particle BMP, right?!

Or you mean to use another sprite with this shader + particles?!

You use the Shader on a Model with the flame texture (see demo), and particles as additional flame effekt for Sparks and Smoke

Thanks Espér
I will do that
