Blender Game Engine: Particles with OpenCL

My first milestone in getting OpenCL Particles into the Blender Game Engine!
Read more details about it here:

Uh

I made grass with particles

will I be able to see it in the GE?

[enjalot]

@demonwolfdawg not yet, but eventually I want to implement as many features from normal Blender particles into the game engine.

[rwickes]

woot! so do the particles reflect the material for the objects? Are the particles controlled with the standard particle buttons for an emiitter? Can you do hair?

[enjalot]

@rwickes: right now all they really do is move. I'm going to try and get as much of the standard particle interface working, so it is in the works :)

[enjalot]

@rwickes I'm working on the materials feature, right now I have a custom modifier which controls the particles but I want to integrate it more closely with the existing blender ui

[SubtleSpy]

wow it looks awesome

[biedronanit]

good job

[shalaputnik]

using blender game engine can I use both CPU and GPU to calculate physics in game?

is there another way to get good physics in realtime?(a lot of particles, a lot of collisions and other stuff)

[demonwolfdawg]

@enjalot Thanks, Sorry I cant help

[demonwolfdawg]

@enjalot How long untill then?, Im hoping 3 weeks :p
