Me and some class mates spent the weekend with a nice little game development LAN.
I created this particle effect in directX 10, using a shader in HLSL. Each particle is represented by a single point vector plus some data about alpha and lifetime. Each point is then streamed to the shader, which converts the point vector to a billboard, with the use of a geometry shader. in the pixel shader each billboard is textured with a transparent fire-ish texture.
The arrow keys moves the particle effect spawn source.

Just to make the demo video a bit more fun, I added music and made the flame "dance" to the music :D The song playing is "Amazing horse chill cover" also made by me, available separately at:

  • @SkotFischer look up amazing horse, its the same tune. he did an 8bit remix of it, though this is not 8bit obviously.

  • @DoomsdayOdd yeah :) I actually made both an 8bit version and this "chill cover" as I call it

  • @SkotFischer I'm really glad you like it :D yeah this is my cover version, and as doomsdayOdd stated, I've also made an 8bit version :)  Check out the link to the song separately, in the description

  • @Robinerd Yeah sorry forgot to read the description ^^" but it is kinda weird to have this mashed up with a song about a dude on horse trying to get laid.

  • @critic2o5 to make the demo more fun :) and to promote my own music ofc ;)

  • Why is the "look at my horse" song in there?!
