SPARK open-source advanced particle engine

[REDDemon]

spark 2 is great also the last stable release is great (and compiles better).

@REDDemon: thx!

@RdR: please open a thread here, it will be easier for us to fix the problem.

Its so impressive to me.
I've test this SPARK demos on my HTC phone.
Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat job!

How do I use this spark2 particle engine from within irrlicht code ?

[Darktib]

There is a demo using Irrlicht, you just have to use the Irrlicht renderers. Download the latest sdk (SPARK1.5), or better, the latest SVN (SPARK 2), the demo is quite straightforward.

Has spark been updated to work with irrlicht 1.8?

[Darktib]

The only part of SPARK that uses Irrlicht are SPK::IRR::Renderers, and they work with the latest SVN version of Irrlicht. There is still on or two graphic bugs related to transparency, but at least for one it is an Irrlicht bug.

[Granyte]

Thanks last time i chequed they changed something in the transparency rendering that fixed the transparency bug but also broke the IRR renderer.

Also on an unrelated mather would it be possible to use shaders on the particle rendered with spark in irrlicht?

[REDDemon]

yes. You can still set material with irrlicht and then render triangles with spark. I think that will work There is no shader unbinding unless irrlicht setup another material.
