• Volumetric Clouds - Source

  Now, I said I wanted to get the editor written up before I posted the basic system, but I have had so many requests for it I thought I may as well get the base up and I can build on it as the system evolves. Before I get into the code, I'll explain... Posted Oct 02 2008, 11:58 AM by Nemo Krad with | with 8 comment(s) Filed under: Generic XNA, Source, Particle System, Clouds, XBox 360, XNA 2.0, HLSL

• ReMix 08 - Demo Source Code

  Some of you that have come to this blog after going to the ReMix 08 conference are probably wondering, "Where is that source code Paul said would be here!?" Well, most of it is here, it's just smashed across a lot of posts. But, it's...

• 3D Billboard Particles Tutorial VI

  http://www.youtube.com/v/tnsSfwGfM3U http://www.youtube.com/v/tnsSfwGfM3U So, we have seen PointSprite particles in 3D, but what about billboarding?? You may be asking at this point, what is billboarding and why would I want to use it when I already have...

• 2D Particle Tutorial IV

  We have our classes so all I am going to do is now apply some pixel shader effects to both the particle system and the background image. I am going to describe how the pixel shader is applied to the particle emitter as the technique is the same for the...

• 3D PointSprite Particle Tutorial II

  Now we have a simple particle and emitter we can have a look at other blending modes, in the previous tutorial we did what is called and additive blend, this type of blending is called Frame Buffer Alpha Blending and a full description of this can be...

  http://www.youtube.com/v/DNz_VdqHG_E http://www.youtube.com/v/DNz_VdqHG_E Just posting a new clip of the cloud system I am playing with. As you can see using billboards gives a better effect when close to the clouds and/or passing through them. Need to...

• 3D Clouds in XNA

  Well, I was asked by a member of our comunity (Jonathan Tan) to comment my skysphere cloud shader a little better, and he also mentioned to me a system written for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight by Niniane Wang , so I took a look...

• Warheads3D - Progress

  I have just put up a video showing my physics engine and scaled 3D particle system that I will be using and building on in Warheads3D. In the video you can see an orbiting earth with a moon orbiting it, there are 3 warheads sent after the planet. I have...

  http://www.youtube.com/v/_sx0KDO-ZbA http://www.youtube.com/v/_sx0KDO-ZbA Well as mentioned in my previous post, here is the 3D particle system again only this time the particles are scaled. Now I didn't think that you could scale pointsprites, but...

  http://www.youtube.com/v/7aHNMqxEd30 http://www.youtube.com/v/7aHNMqxEd30 The initial notion for this came from this site here where the author gives a basic example of a particle system. The particle shader used in this example is in fact from the very...
