Particle editor features
Hi Esenthel,

Here are some features that would be nice to include in the parameters that controles the particles :

- Possibility to group several particles emitters in the same system (useful for fire+smoke)
- Delay the beginning of emission for an emitter in a system.
(For example: an explosion system, starting the emission of smoke right after the explosion)
- Allowing to drag and drop a mesh as emitter shape
- Allowing to drag and drop a mesh as particle shape (not just billboard quads smile )
- Having the pre programmed effects
For example : vortex. Where the user can set a radius and angular velocity (I think it's hard/impossible to get a nice rotating system by setting xyz initial velocity and acceleration vectors :/)
Or collision surface set at a certain position
- Feature to use atlas textures (and set frame by frame or randomly sub textures)


Feel free to add some requests wink

RE: Particle editor features
particle editor in 1.0 is so much fun. I would get addicted to making new particles. I would just photoshop/gimp my pictures....make a lot of different versions of my images and I would just throw them in there to see what I could create. It was so easy to learn and use. I hope 2.0 gets a particle editor. That is something that is very important to Level designers.

RE: Particle editor features
By the way the particle editor is found on the roadmap (special effects editor)
but its so far away to be implemented but I guess there is a possibility for essenthel to use the same classes of the particle editor on one smile

RE: Particle editor features
Yes that's exactly the point, suggesting a few new features that Esenthel might add to the current particle obj class smile
What do you think about them, Esenthel ? Would it be "quick" to implement or does it imply a bigger refactoring ?
