over here I used 3 seperated Renderers for Red, Green and Blue.


Adding a Blendmode ("add") to the renderer give's the nice colorfull effect.

Downside for the colorfull effect is that i have to use 3 seperated renderers?
Or is there a way giving a blendmode to an emitter?

Here's the source code of 1 example

These examples are looking great. Have you found any bugs yet, or is it all working fine? Re: blendMode. Flash applies blend modes to display objects, so to separately apply blendModes to each ...

Re: blendMode. Flash applies blend modes to display objects, so to separately apply blendModes to each emitter's output they have to use different display objects, hence needing a new renderer for each emitter.

If you use display objects rather than pixels for the particles, you can apply a blend mode to each particle's image and it will be used when drawing the particle, but this means you can't use a pixel renderer - you have to use a bitmap renderer or display object renderer and use a display object of some form for each particle.

I haven't created an initializer to do this, but probably will at some point. I am currently concentrating on the away3d and papervision3d renderers.]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=91&Focus=412#Comment_412 2008-09-16T10:41:04+01:00 2010-12-26T10:39:44+00:00 sandersnake http://flintparticles.org/forum/account.php?u=4

I think i just found one little bug with the explosion action. You have to fill in a very large number to get a bit of an explosion //emitter.addAction( new Explosion( 10000, new Vector3D(0, 0, ...

You have to fill in a very large number to get a bit of an explosion


//emitter.addAction( new Explosion( 10000, new Vector3D(0, 0, 0)));


Thanks for clearing out the blending mode stuff.
If i have some time i'll dive into it.

Good luck with the papervision3d renderers, really looking forward to it!]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=91&Focus=417#Comment_417 2008-09-20T11:57:49+01:00 2010-12-26T10:39:44+00:00 Richard http://flintparticles.org/forum/account.php?u=1

I've fixed the explosion thing in Alpha 2 - An explosion of power 1 should have a visible effect now.
