2D Particles?

Concept_3D · August 17, 2008, 5:55am

Are there any free and good 2D particle generators out there (for game).
Is it possible to use blender in this way and if so, how?
Thanks

you can always simulate 2d by only using 2 dimensions in blender. Then you can go nuts with the particles!

Are you looking for code? I know there might be some Python based solutions around. Look into pyglet and pygame.

What the heck in Pete’s name does that have to do with 2d effects? You do know that’s for cartoony-lets-give-everything-an-outline-effects only, right? Not neccesarily meant for making 2d thingies

Anyway, use an orthographic camera, place it well and you’ll have 2d particles.

Thanks I may try particles-inside-a-box too. I’ll post the results here anyway.
