Asset - Demo 3D Fireworks (free)

[Dragon47]

Download executable: http://www.mediafire...D Fireworks.exe

Marketplace link: https://goo.gl/GuRfPV

This demo contains a set of different types of fireworks which uses vertex texture fetching and point sprites to efficiently render more than 100,000 particles at once. The logic of the particles is updated with the use of 32-bit color channel surfaces.

This was made for GMC member xygthop3's 3D effects challenge (#1): http://gmc.yoyogames...howtopic=678490. It has had a bit of further development, and now it's available on the marketplace. The sound used in the challenge is not included.

You need Graphics Utilities to be able to compile it: https://marketplace....phics-utilities. Graphics Utilities enables lots of features for graphics programming via a DLL. You can read more about it by following the link.

I probably like this more than I should. I'm a sucker for star gazing and night sky observations so this is right up my ally.

Too bad my video card cant even run this now. Crashed me again. :/

Thanks, sorry you can't run it. I did go a bit over the top with the amount of particles per firework. I think it's 100 000 in the demo. I even tried with a million : P Maybe you're just missing the runtime? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34429

Nah, its just broken lol. Maybe the Ancel driver update, but I literally can't do anything and its a gtx770. Once I replace it I will play with this more.

Hey, this is pretty nice! @Roa, I've got a gtx760, and - in the executable demo - the FPS only drops as low as 60 if I click repeatedly, waiting only about 0.5 seconds between clicks, but it's over 4000 with no fireworks. Seems to run pretty nicely for me. Not sure what's going on with your rig not liking it? I don't expect it's the gpu though.

But anyway, pretty colored lights and a nice skybox of a clear night sky over calm waters = relaxing happiness to me. ^^ I don't really need the asset for anything though, just checking it out for fun.

wow i just clicked so many times while paused and rotated until i had 5 fps (GTX 970) and then released all the fireworks. it looked so awesome.. i wanted to try it again but then it crashed it was just too much
here's the error message:

also is there a delay between clicks? because my clickbot didn't work

 

[Dragon47]

I don't think I added any delay, so yeah, it's not too difficult to crash it
