Fire Particle!

Hey everyone! New here =]

I was playing around with LOVE while traveling and didn't really see much regarding flipbook/texture animation particles. So I built the attached! I'm also new to Lua and wasn't quite sure how to make my flipbook class modular. (if class is a proper term for it).

If you guys have any suggestions or resources I should look at, let me know! I specialize in FX and Tech Art in my actual work. Mostly playing with LOVE on my free time as a hobby!

Hey there, and welcome to the forums!

Your animation looks very nice. Keep up the good work!

Hi and welcome to the forums.
Throw in some additive blending for an ultimate effect:

Code: Select all

function love.draw(dt)
    love.graphics.setBlendMode("additive")
    love.graphics.draw(particleSystem, love.graphics.getWidth()/2, love.graphics.getHeight()/2, 0, 0.25, 0.25)
end

So THAT'S where blend modes are hiding. And here I thought I was going to have to write up a shader. Awesome! Do you guys think it would be beneficial to the community if I wrote some particle effects oriented tutorials as I figure out things?
