Volumetric Explosions

Hi!

I’ve been working on volumetric effects using 3 planes to simulate depth.

(zoom out when you run it)

Im also demonstrating two types of pre-defined effects (the .raw(s)). The single plane explosion has the tint option enabled.

The second argument controls the play functionality
False - Play until finished
True - Loop
Float - Play until arg = task.time

This is based off the texture-swapping sample.

The volumetric effect is very unclean and a touch hacky. It’s just to show how it’s done.
My real purpose is to create sphere-based explosion effects. I’ll share that when i figure it out. :slight_smile:
