explosion?

Post by Kristian »

Hello
Im making a bomberman clone and i need to make a explosion which is going to have the same feel and look as seen in atomic bomberman but i have no clue how to achieve this i've tryed with explosion sprites which didnt didne have the same effect and i thought that i might try using particles. I dont care if it works slower or anything i just want a visual better result.
Can anyone give me some pointers on how to achieve this ?

Regards
Kristian

I can think of a few ways to do an explosion:

1. Use some procedural animated texture (you can look at dyn text - or the video plugin for how to do that)
2. Use the a volume texture (cvs head demo)
3. Possible to generate a movie and use that as the basis of a texture - but pretty overkill for a short effect - and alpha's with movies is not entirely tested yet.
