#Magic Wand
6 messages in this thread
I thought I had it figured out till I figured it out. I need to
generate a magic Wand that moves around the screen depositing
particles that decay over time. I have tried using Fireworks and
Spurt, but they are either static, or if I attach the source object
to the wand, they move with it. The effect I need is to move the
wand, at each step along the way (every frame?) start a group of
sparks, then, the wand moves on but the sparks decay in place with
gravity. Is there a way to do this? The only thing I can think of is
to instance the spark object. Will this work? Any other ways to use
Fireworks or Spurt for this? Other IPAS? BTW, I need it yesterday…
Doug, If you DL MAGIC.ZIP you will see a sample of an IPAS routine
that creates trailing magic dust that decays over time. Kurt
The MAGIC IPAS from Digimation is EXACTLY what you need. My first
animation with Magic was a wand with trailing particles. We just
started shipping Friday so I can get one to you right away. Call me
at 1-800-854-4496 or 504-785-3969. The best part is it's a mere
$59.95.
