I had to add the other two billboarding options that I felt were critical for producing some fairly standard effect.
To give an idea as to why, Here is one of them: Billboarding along the velocity where Up is Z… sorta critical for explosions and such. Vid shows you can still rotate along relative axis)
@nehon
There is an update that will need to happen at some point for the emitter to support generating real-time grass, leaves, fur, etc.
Currently the emitter uses the direct center of the face to emit from, this needs to change to a random point on the face
Faces of a mesh will need to be traversed and categorized by size at loadtime. Once categorized, weight should be used to opt for faces with larger coverage area, etc.
Anyways. Just notes for future use. The emitter has far more potential than what you’ll be getting up front.
@zarch recommended it to me a while ago, and although I’ve still not finished it, and really need to go back and read it from the start again ^_^, it is really good
I downvote her for core dev I think the formalness of it may actually dampen HER spirits. She likes just doing stuff, what ever she wants, when she wants. She gets on well with @nehon the most, not so much he others ;), so maybe she can have an exclusive tag

t0neg0d is a girl? hmm… shouldn’t it be t0neg0ddess then?
Yup, unless she has been fooling us all, and is actually a really nerdy fat guy living in a basement, who masterbates over my forum posts. Either way, keep up the good work <3

The image this just created… Argh. It cannot be unseen. X(

I have =) I remember the thread where it was recommended. I have gone through it once in full and multiple time in sections…
Things stick with me when I have a chance to use them in practice. (plus, I don’t mind looking like an idiot so I can learn… thus the stupid questions).

I was gonna keep up the facade. But, I can see that your psychic and I have no hope of not being exposed! This post is getting some extra spankage… muhahahahaha

Thanks really a nice compliment... but... alas... I'm a buffoon.
Smartest buffoon on this forum then
You have made the best particle emitter, the best gui system and the best paging system… all of which I consider absolutely essential to the success of my future AAA title
