SmokeJumpers - Wildfire Behavior

A few weeks back I took time out to purchase and work through Programmers Guide to Torque Game Engine. Doing that gave me a greater comfort zone using TGE. I feel I have a better grasp of the workings of TGE.

Since then I've been focusing in on working on the basic functionality of the wildfire behavior. I went through several different attempts to move fire & smoke particle emitters directly, but finally got it to work. (see the series of 3 pics below). Of course there's more tweaking to do and I want to be able to indicate burned terrain develop behind the burning fires. With the help of the Garage Games community, especially Paul Dana, I'm working on doing texture painting on the fly. The wildfires are the main villain in this game and so progress in this area is essential to game development. More later.
