#Special Effects
Steve,
I recently inquired about Newton's Law. They informed me that the product will
soon port over to the PC from the Amiga. Looking at the list of products that
it interacts with on the Amiga, I asked them why it doesn't support
Animation:Master. They said they were supporting applications that wrote their
file format in ascii. HMMM!!! It seems like the perfect fit and they agreed and
were willing to look into it, especially if Hash also showed some interest, SO
steve how about it!!!
3rd party support is FREE ADVERTISING!! No product is too successful that it
could do without that (IMHO)! <G>
Of course, this is a moot point if A:M will be incorporating the cool features
of Newtons Law i.e. particle animation (which, because of your motion library
features, can kind of be simulated now, I think?), collision detection,
explosions, fire, rain, wind, smoke, etc..
OR, am I not digging deep enough into the material editor. Could it be that
now that a material can change over time, these effects are already possible??
If so, lets start with a puff of smoke (dust)? How would that be done?
Thanks,
Jim Jonah // hopin' those programmers are just codin' day and night!<G>//
