Particles in tS66 About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011. They are retained here for archive purposes only. Particles in tS66 // New Users 1  |   Order by default Post by jamesmc // Apr 29, 2006, 4:46am jamesmc Total Posts: 2566 1. How can the particles in tS be tinted/painted? Or is it better to use lighting? For instance, I want to create shards of metal from an exploding machine and I want the shards the same color as the machine. How would I go about doing this? Post by Bobbins // Apr 29, 2006, 5:04am Bobbins Total Posts: 506 If the particles are standard default ones then just paint the emittor. If you have used a picked object for the particles then paint the object that was picked - this can be done even after the particles have been created.

It's just a clipped out part of the character with the hand rolling a ball instead of the real prop. Anyway, the gray area is where I would like to see flames. I used a mask for the flames and obscured the real background. Where I have the gray masking around the balls is where I want flames. Can I do this in tS?

It took five minutes to go through just 100 frames of a very simple 2 sphere animation. Post by e-graffiti // Apr 29, 2006, 4:11pm e-graffiti Total Posts: 171 jamesmc, I thought we lost you. Glad to see you back :) Post by LazeeGazzz // May 1, 2006, 3:01am LazeeGazzz Total Posts: 55 Ugh, just tried the tS66 native particles for fire. It took five minutes to go through just 100 frames of a very simple 2 sphere animation. But did it look good? The end might just justify the means. Maybe you could upload a sample and save 5 minutes of someone else's life:p . Post by jamesmc // May 1, 2006, 3:26am jamesmc Total Posts: 2566 It looked okay, it was just a blob rolling around simulating fire action. The problem was, I had made a small 400 frame animation and plugged the fire in the first part of the KFE to see how it would work. It took 5 minutes for the fire particles to run through the first 100 frames! I think I will try some of the plug-ins available instead of using tS native particles. Some of the tS particle types seem okay for use though.
