little forceField demo

this came out while i was checking out an idea i had. nothing spectacular but quiet nice so i just thought to share it, maybe you like watching it too

btw, imagine that twice this hits the performance limit of 3dgs. thats a little sad

Maybe reduce the vertex count and scale the effect. I know this is about having a lot of vertices but you can use two force fields then.

Code?

well, i am using sprites. i tried using mdls, but the fps dropped below the half, at the same object count. yo , well, i cant reduce vertices here...

code? well, its nothing special. i am using an attractor and the sprites direction is calculated relating to the camera and the attractor position

wow its so pretty, i really like this effect..

looks really cool!

i like how it looks on the screen. though, i doubt that my graphics card will be able to handle it

beautiful kinda fits the music i was listening to when i saw this.

that's what i call "tool-ish". such things like your force field always remind me of tool (a band, if you didn't know ^^)... their artwork, videos, atmosphere... at least what i get when i listen to their music

Very nice effect!

Pretty... I want it as my screen saver!

Beautiful, thanks Ello!

!!!BUAHHH!!!
