    Your welcome!

    What we want is to be able to bring the tools to EVERYONE - not just those that can afford. But we do need to re-coup costs and earn money. Every day now, myself and Darren have discussed at length how this can be achieved.

    We are acutely aware, there are developers here that would appreciate the tools, but maybe can not justify the costs. If anyone has a master plan that would enable every user to buy the tools, lower the costs, keep existing purchasers happy and enable us to continue support and development - we are all ears.

    We're also aware of younger users who may not have incomes. Again we want to be able to supply them with the tools that resize, merge, report and optimize.. So they can concentrate on game creation.

    said it once and ill say it again this is the best one ive seen by far!

    Just in idea have you thought about maybe a educational discout or something like that? Where if your a student they email you from there student email and get a discount? Its very easy to distinugish a legit school or college email from a fake one.

    Works great on a large scale, not sure if this is something you were lookin for though.

    Just a idea, and thanks again mate

    Thanks for this great tool!
    I use it since yesterday and its work seamless and smooth.
    I've changed the debris (Exp1.tga?) to some more realistic debris and Its looks fantastic.

    Looking forward to change the size of the exported gfx from inside the program.

    Big thank you for this great tool!

    I'm really liking the potential of this tool, and am wondering if there's a way to change the dimensions under the "configure the variances and size" panel. At 120x120, the edges of the explosions I've generated are cut off, but the width and height cells seem locked so I'm unable to enlarge the dimensions.
  • wayneh001wayneh001 Member Posts: 300
    Everyone: That's fantastic and we're glad you like the application. The next version (which will be ready in a few days hopefully) will include the following features:

    - Any Size Explosions.
    - Smoke Attributes.
    - Save & Load configurations.
    - Assignment of TGA files for Debris / Fragments.

    @PerferctAnswer If you're in the mood for sharing I could include your debris.TGA file with the App for everyone, unless of course you want to create a collection of Debris, fragments and configurations, for you to sell/share to others in the future.

    If you want to share, and have a credit in the application: email me at: info [at] deepblueideas [dot] com.

    Hey Wayne,

    look like the 'subscribe to email' function is on vacation ;)
    Don't know if this is interesting for you (after2 month) but you can pick up the .psd here

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23090580/exp1.psd

    The .tga file is here:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23090580/exp1.tga

    I have an old version of the Expl. gen. maybe there is a newer and/or better debris file per default.

    Sorry for the late reaction, hope thats useful anyway ;)
    Cheers

    Yea I saw that video Darren. But like tenrdrmer says it is version 1. I'll just pick it up anyway without a video at 3 gbp its a bargain, you guys do quality work and have save me a LOT of time with your tools.. and time is money :)

    edit: I saw you posted a v2 video. Nice looks awesome.
  • jaikumarmjaikumarm Member Posts: 5
    Hi Guys, bought the v2 few minutes back, should be a good addition to my nascent toolbox. thanks!

    Now my plug - I have a request, am looking for a (soap/water) bubble burst sequence, in this context am looking for a water_exp1.tga :) for the explosion generator.

    Am also open to suggestions for other software or methods.
  • alias_noaalias_noa Member Posts: 19
    This isn't working well for me. The explosions aren't very detailed and are very transparent. There is also a big white bar to the right of the explosion in every frame. I tried the sliders but its not helping, what am I doing wrong? I'm running a 2008 macbook so thought maybe I need to use a faster computer or something.
