Experimenting with an OFX particle system. Here are some 2d results. Super fun, and really fast. Runs real time in flame, a little slower with 1M particles on a 4090.
Wow! Very interesting.
Wow!! I’ve actually been looking for something like this. Gorgeous, Maury.
@allklier – we were loosely talking about exploring an MX or OFX for “sparklie particles” without 3D or going into Action…
Dang man! Beat me to it. Let me know if you need a sounding board or a beta tester.
I’d love to have your input @Sinan , oh flame particle master!
Getting this ofx to play nicely with flame - use flame’s camera and z depth for occlusions.
look so good
Is Ofx on the Logik portal?
It’s an Ofx, still in development.
Looks really nice, Maury. Are the optical fx in the OFX, or is that downstream?
It’s an ordinary flame lens flare. The purpose of this exercise was to be sure that the ofx “listens” to flame’s camera and axes (through python hooks) and respects occlusion from flame’s 3d objects (note that the particles go in front and behind the flame objects).
(In this case, the lens flare was actually upstream of the ofx, because they were “added” on top, so the order didn’t really matter.)
