Download it here

I wrote a pdf which is included in the download. The pdf should document the code decently so i will use this page mostly for credits and showcase!

Showoff thread!

What is this resource?

This resource extends the particleEmitter class and adds a new graphEmitter class.
The change to the regular particleEmitter class lies in the ability to change values on a per emitter basis rather than a per datablock basis. Read more about this here
The change that this resource will focus on tho is the graphEmitter class. The graphEmitter class is basing the position of the particles on 3 functions, one for each coordinate.
So if the function for x is x=1 it would be placed 1 meter from the graphEmitter along the x-axis.

Combined with the powerful muParser, it is very easy to create nice looking effects like the ones above.

To do list:

• Better documentation and commenting of the code
• Bugfixes & cleanup of the code
• Possibly benchmark

Did i miss one? Let me know!

Please do confirm that the documentation is OK and nothing needs clarified. And do tell me if i need to upload some files!
And you are always welcome to ask all the questions you want!

An environmental example

Composite functions
If you want to do composite functions you can do it via the muParser syntax!
Here is an example of the spiralNode with a variable function!

datablock GraphEmitterNodeData(g_compSpiralNode : g_DefaultNode)
{
   xFunc = "t<500 ? cos(t/50)*t*0.02 : t<1000 ? cos(t/50)*t*0.1 : t<1500 ? cos(t/50)*t*0.02 : cos(t/50)*t*0.1";
   yFunc = "t<500 ? sin(t/50)*t*0.02 : t<1000 ? sin(t/50)*t*0.1 : t<1500 ? sin(t/50)*t*0.02 : sin(t/50)*t*0.1";
   zFunc = "t/20";
};

Oh almost forgot!
I got all changes to the particleEmitter files written here:

Thanks to Charlie Patterson, hes Twillex engine is what inspired me to all of this, and i ensure you that if you combine the Twillex engine with this resource you will have some vastly powerful tools at your hands!
Thanks to everyone who downloads this resource! If you create something magnificent please show it off in the comments below!
