Flame / Abstract Simulator thing

Hey guys, just a little experiment for a new plugin i started making..... try the attached exe's. The simulation takes about a second or 2 to kinda warm up but you should see something like the pictures below

Also, I'm interested to know if it runs smoothly or not....and how it runs on lower end computer....oh and its 100% pixel shader free!

Awesome! Runs fine for me.

The swirl is really useful for menus.

Can't wait for release XD

Works great for me! I think there might have been a little slowdown with spiral, but not too noticable. Also, the flame works perfectly! Good job on those effects

WOW!

Amazimg !!

And now I thought that Pixel Shader 2.0 is required

Framerate is ~ 70 FPS

Awsome! how will the extension work? will it be much things to experiment with on your own, or just the flame and the spiral?

Looks great! I imagine this can be combined with other effects, to make the fire wavy and such?

It will be similar to my flame object for mmf, except the cool map can be scaled and rotated as well (the spiral was done with a rotating cool map).

Also, when you render an object into it, it will use the pixel shaders on that object, so if you give the object a 'magnify' effect you might be able to make some abstract liquid flame effects...and coz it all works with render targets it gets full hardware acceleration

This is pretty cool, reminds me of screensavers I've seen. I can imagine some cool effects when combining with some pixel shader effects.

I made another effect...this is what happens if you scale and rotate the cold map

Now I just gotta plan out how this plugin should work.

WOW - very good

PS. I'm waiting for this plugin

PS2. Can you make Aurora effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_(astronomy)) ??

That ones awesome, it would be great for a transition or gameover type screen in a Zombies Ate My Neighbours style game

I have an Athlon XP 2600 w/ 512mb of RAM and a Radeon 9800pro. It runs perfectly smoothly and looks pretty cool, by the way.

I got it supporting pasting of sprites (another hopefully other objects) into itself. Please check that it still works on your computer

Works great, and looks pretty sweet! I foresee many uses for this plugin.

Them's some tasty effects.
