Create Animation with Particles?

ozboybrian

Is it possible to do this? since Particles are far less demanding.
Could I simply use a bunch of particles in the one spot to perform an animation sequence, or would this not work well?

LeonardDeveloper

Well define "animation"
Fireworks, water, lava, rain all that stuff!

LeonardDeveloper

Oh, iforgot: explosions, stars, sun rays, lasers

ozboybrian

I'm thinking of a Vortex on the spot.. (like a Portal)

LeonardDeveloper

Maybe..... That's got me thinking.... It's 1am in Ireland here but I think I might have a template by tomorrow

LeonardDeveloper

Have an actor rotating and particles coming-out of it?

ozboybrian

That could work, but i'm just trying to limit the amount of actors
I guess when Sprite sheets come life will be easier.

LeonardDeveloper

Sprite sheets..... You do realise that's basically still an actor just the images are on a sheet?

ozboybrian

Yeah lol.
So quality Particle animation possible?

LeonardDeveloper

You can already do that by extracting the ong sequence from a gif..... I can animate one in inks cape if you want?

ozboybrian

Wait, come again??

I think everyone is getting to crazy on this limiting stuff. I don't do tons of limiting of actors and my stuff runs great. Forget about the send gen apple devices in a year they won't be supported and with the a5 chips the devices can handle a lot. Time for people to develop for the future not the past.
