GPU particle systems using meshes

A demo of my MSc Dissertation, showing large GPU stateful particle systems using meshes, implemented in OpenGL/GLSL.

- 300K-800K particles (in video)
- variable meshes/rotations/materials
- procedurally coloured/bump-mapped
- particle 'painting' & terrain elevation

Music : Mike Oldfield - Magellan

@Cretan1000 no worries. it still doesn't work, but I've gotten over it and tossed it. that was weeks ago.

@angeltiger1986 Sorry :(

[angeltiger1986]

@Cretan1000 I've done that already as I've said in the post, it does not work.

@angeltiger1986 Put it in your system folder, not system32.
