Hi folks,

are there any particle system functions or so or do i have to draw just with triangles and program the behaviour for those triangles?

greets ghoti

The first thing that comes to my mind is LTE Game Engine, which is practically a port of Irrlicht. Since Irrlicht had a particle emiter class included (as far as I remember from research project I worked on using this), I suppose that LTe would have it too.

I am not sure it does, but thought I'd point it out for you to check.

I'll observe how this thread develops, because the question is interesting for me as well.

Hmm but i'd like to know if there are native functions for this, because i'm planning on to do it myself (learning purpose) and not with an existing engine.

'particle system' is a rather lose term imo and is actually pretty implementation dependend.
if you search on google you'll find some apis, but i've no idea how good they are. just make your own ps

read the wiki entry to get an idea

Aren't you a little lazy, my friend?

Google will help you in such trivial cases, I have a feeling you didn't even try. Still, as I am basically a nice guy, I'll give you a couple of links, in proper order :

Original Irrlicht webpage :
http://www.irrlicht3d.org/

Post about how ungrateful the guys who ported Irrlicht are, having forgotten to mention Irrlicht anywhere in their documentation :
http://www.irrlicht3d.org/pivot/entry.php?id=348

LTE Game Engine webpage :
http://www.ltestudios.com/

And, on a side note, the link to a forum post where I suggested porting of Irrlicht, a couple of days before LTE appeared (^__^) :
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=82358&highlight=#82358

Hope it clarifies,

Barts
