Hello,

Trying achieve a procedural looking stem growing thingie.

I figured particles might be a good bet.

It requires them to spawn and stay till an event asks it to be destroyed.

Look at the attached gif and do tell me if any one knows a way to achieve this using particles? or any other means.

It can't be an animated sprite because it needs to look different each time.

Thanks for your time.

P.S: I am using C2 and not C3. FYI,Incase it varies in approach between the two.

Old attempt to branching (or de-branching?) a tree:

Wow!!

Thank you for a super quick response.

I think this a super great starting point for what I'd like to achieve...in fact what I have in mind is far less complex.

will give it a go and see how far I can take it.

Thanks again.

Hi,

Saw this post, and hadn't made a generating thing before, so gave it a try.

I havent made something like this before, so saw as a bit of a challenge.

I don't know if its bad, but it resmbles what you asked :P

The grower instance has some variables you can tweak.

Gobsmacked!!

Bit of a challenge eh? ...show off.. ha ha.

Incredible stuff.....as an artist coming into game dev, I have...so....so...so much to learn.

It's like starting from scratch all over again.

Played around with C2 years before it went subscription model.. then stopped...just starting up again.

Will be diving into both the capx's, and hopefully, emerge wiser and more knowledgeable.

If my brain can wrap around the innards ...that is :)

Many thanks..

Much appreciated.

Hah, thanks for the compliment ^_^

I too been out of it for some years, and came back because my main job ended.

Got a c3 and c2 license, and like dabbling and making small projects while developing my own projects to learn more and more myself too. That is one of the best ways to learn really.

Good luck getting back into the swing of things
