    does it hang for anyone else when generating frames?

    Thanks everyone for your comments and feedback..

    @sawkastee
    does it hang for anyone else when generating frames?
    We've tested the tool on lots of different OS's and configurations - and no 'hangs' as you describe. Could you be a little more specific and/or supply the details of your machine - so we could possibly help you further.

    ...Edit
    Any chance a mod could change the title of this thread from [coming] to [available] - thanks.

    Cheers

    @wayneh001
    mac mini osx 10.8.3
    just selected glow frags, fragments only, everything else default, chose a destination folder titled sparks in documents, click grab frames and it hangs, never generates.
  • wayneh001wayneh001 Member Posts: 300
    @sawkastee
    Ahh - I understand now....

    If you ONLY want the GLOW FRAGS - or any other 'light coloured' frags in your explosion - then you MUST SWITCH OFF the [Frame Culling] option (bottom left corner on the main controls panel).

    The frame culling kicks in when the engine 'believes' there is insufficient / different data between the frames to capture. In the case of WHITE FRAGS the engine sees lots of little white flecks - but because there isn't enough hue change/variation it won't capture any frames - and thus may hang...

    So, in your case TURN OFF [Frame Culling]
    Also, turning off the Frame Culling option in a 'standard' explosion, will force the engine to capture even more frames and detail / but in our tests this led to lots of end phasing frames being captured.

    Here's a video (from our site) demonstrating the Frame Culling technique:



    Hope this makes sense...

    Cheers

    @wayneh001 and @DeepBlueApps, I've previously bought Explosion Generator 2 from you, then later on "DBA Resource Center PRO" membership. Your tools and contributions are just so great! Crazy that you would give this one out for free, that's just not acceptable to my morals ;) I just made a donation and I really hope many others will do too :) The time you must have spent on this... Thanks! /Jimmy

    That looks freakin' amazing. My wants just spilled all over the place. Saving them as .gmk and .gameproj files is super nifty. I can't wait to try it out! :D

    Having trouble with your game? Sounds like a personal problem.

    Thanks for the comments guys and the donations.

    We were doing a sale every second after the newsletter went out, it has gone down really well with our users.

    Thanks for the support over at DBA.
