new particles documentation started

[jahka]

Hi guys,

I've now started documenting my new particles. I'ts still very early, but I'll try to update it allways when I have time to write more.

edit: documentation is now at Blender wiki, feel free to contribute if you know you'r way around my particles I'll try to correct if you get things wrong :P

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Bl...es_Rewrite_Doc

ps. the url may change if somebody sees the need to have the docs in a different place, but since my particles are not yet official I thought that BlenderDev would be the place for them.

Holy crap

Considering all these features in the rewrite is evidence you have been busy

From what I read this makes the old particle system look like a stupid toy.

blender is one of the few programs that runs propaly in wine

it looks verry good, but i could never work out how to use the thing!

Well I don't think you have to use the advanced controls if you don't want to, but it would be recommended to learn some of the new controls.

Oh my god.... Great!!! I was just talking in the main thread about documenting.. but here it is already started! Thanks again!!!

jahka <- I have some idea: You should make page on the Blender wiki, put there this documentation about new particles. This will make possibility to contribute by somebody else to faster make documentation !

[jahka]

Jedrzej_s: that's a good idea, I'll go figure out things at #blenderwiki right away.

edit: docs are now in the wiki: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Bl...es_Rewrite_Doc

jahka <- Cool . Now people should help You . Let's go everybody .

Why not build it yourself? It's fairly easy, takes a little time but it's well worth it.

yeah, i think i need to go over the building info at blender.org oh well, its about time, i guess.. been trying to escape that for a good few months now..

BOIDS can become a HUGE improvement !

[youngbatcat]

Eugh... To Many buttons.... Yeah I know,, it's great , But YESH ! Thats alot of buttons to make things fly in the air and whatnot..*

I didn't even know what BOIDS were, so I found this page. It's a pretty interesting read if anyone wants to have a peek.

Jahka, I f I found time, I will make some documentation about the things I know.
I prefer to not send to the wiki since my englsh is not perfect, what format can I use?

[aws357]

I say, with the new open movie project themed on furry creatures, the particles hair/fur are in for a big boost this year

[jahka]

Lguillaume: you could just mail me the text and I can look it over and post it to the wiki. My engligh is not perfect either, but once the ideas are correctly in the wiki a native english speaker can correct the language. Any content you can provide will be of great help to me!

[asw20pilot]

I would just like to say to the people out there who have lots of knowledge about Blender but are afraid to write about it on the wiki because their English is not perfect: Don't be! Just write! As long as it's understandable, I think all of us will be grateful for your effort. And like Jahka said - when the ideas are on the wiki, anybody who can write English well can correct the language.
There are lots of people among us who can write English well - but there are not that many with detailed knowledge about the advanced features of Blender!

Best regards,
Mikkel
