Hello,

I was just wondering: is there some way to use blending effects (like these http://blog.alternativaplatform.com/ru/files/2011/04/demos/points.html ) in the particle systems for away3d? I was trying to find something in liaocheng solution, but no luck so far ^(

Would appreciate any relative info, thanks.

Nobody ever needed blend effects in PS? I think it’s really somewhat core feature of any particle system… Or maybe there are some other ways to implent that kind of effect?

Hi
What means blend effect? Do you mean the blend mode? Now the Away3D particle system can support blend mode setting. You can see this demo:
http://liaocheng.github.com/demo/index.html
Most of effects use BlendMode.ADD

Yes, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thank you very much!
But I just can’t find any examples on how to properly use blend modes. It would be great to look at the source code of that demo you linked up here. Is it in the example files on GitHub?

Hi
These are all created by this editor

Using editor is a good way to creating effect.
In code level, you can set ParticleMaterialBase::blendMode to the value you want.
