Does anyone have any example scripts that make a glowing effect, dry ice type effect ? I want to make a prim look like smoking ice.
I have been through all the free stuff and looked at the particle lab but cannot find the effect. Something like the shardes at xcite premier is what I am looking for.
Any idea's ?

I'd say go back to Teal and try again.

Any idea's ? Particles aren't stright forward, I still find them harder than most scripts! Its a lot of tweaking and watching, then tweak it again. bUt stick with it, its worth it. I'd guess you're looking for something with a 3-4 sec life time and a low velocity and radius. probably want it to sink as well for a good effect.

I saw a free mod/copy/trans "steam" example at "The Particle Laboratory" that you could probably adjust to this purpose... somewhere in the middle of the lab with all the examples.

I second the Particle Lab. Search for it in world. Pick up and keep ALL the notecards. You will find them very handy later on.

Spending far to much time on this.
Still cannot make just a glow, this is what I have
PSYS_PART_FLAGS, 256,
PSYS_SRC_PATTERN, 2,
PSYS_PART_START_ALPHA, 0.30,
PSYS_PART_END_ALPHA, 0.00,
PSYS_PART_START_COLOR, <1.00,0.00,1.00>,
PSYS_PART_END_COLOR, <1.00,1.00,0.00>,
PSYS_PART_START_SCALE, <0.50,0.50,0.00>,
PSYS_PART_END_SCALE, <0.50,0.50,0.00>,
PSYS_PART_MAX_AGE, 1.00,
PSYS_SRC_MAX_AGE, 0.00,
PSYS_SRC_ACCEL, <0.00,0.00,0.00>,
PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_BEGIN, 0.00,
PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_END, 3.14,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_PART_COUNT, 20,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_RADIUS, 0.20,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_RATE, 0.05,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_SPEED_MIN, 0.05,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_SPEED_MAX, 0.05,
PSYS_SRC_OMEGA, <0.00,0.00,0.00>,
Where am I going wrong here?

What exactly are you after? Pictures would be helpful.
To me "glowing effect" and "dry ice type effect" don't really have much in common.

Where am I going wrong here? starting with magenta and ending with yellow for 'dry ice' ?  You're missing a few flags I think... I dunno what 256 is, but it's only one flag, try PSYS_PART_FLAGS, ( PSYS_PART_EMISSIVE_MASK | PSYS_PART_INTERP_COLOR_MASK | PSYS_PART_INTERP_SCALE_MASK ) You might want ACCEL to have a slight downward push: <0,0, -0.01> and make the particle life a little longer than 1 second.. that's very brief. I think pattern 2 is explode, you don't need the angle settings specified with that. |
