2D Effects

Hello,

I am working on a 3rd person action adventure and trying to figure a way to display a lot of 2D effects from the combat. I was thinking textured planes with a small particle effect for each hit(punching, sword, guns, etc), along with other effects going on also but wouldn’t this produce slow performance?

Thanks for any help.

Textured plane seem good to me , you should go see Sprite Manager 2

Concur - SM2 is a nice addition to the toolkit. You can really push a lot of sprite volume through it to achieve cool effects with relatively low overhead. Their other two products look impressive as well. Check out the EZ GUI video…
