How well does this run on mobile and can it be used in 2D?
Hi,
The pack is compatible with mobile (all systems are SM2.0), though it is made for PC mainly, so the effects will require some tweaking for performance. All effects are tweakable (particle counts and ocean plane resolution can all be adjusted) and i have included an ocean plane creator for a lower poly plane creation.
The ocean runs in GPU so should be very fast, but the mobile performance will depend a lot on the plane it is applied too and its GPU power.
The system also runs great in orthographic camera (I attach a picture from the ocean sample in ortho mode, with a few rotation tweaks to the planes, the full dynamic nature is availble in ortho mode).
Also it is ideal for turning any item/effect/animation from 3D to 2D sprite sheets for use in 2D, with the included Sprite Sheet Maker system.
I have not included a particle contraint script, but it is trivial to create one. The new collisions system that will be shared with Particle Dynamic Magic 2.0 will also contain a constraint particle behavior for 2D use.
Let me know if there are any further questions.
OK, thanks.
Toon Effects Maker will offer full support and be integrated with the new Massive Adaptive AI & Pathfinding system (MADAi Path), which is currently in the works.
The beam and reflection system is already prototyped for the various mini game templetes that will acompany the system. The sample combat will also use many of the effects in the pack.
Besides Toon effects Maker, the new AI combat samples will offer full integration with Sky Master ULTIMATE, InifniTREE and Particle Dynamic Magic, for all kinds of cool functionality, AI bahaviors and effects.
A note for using Toon Effects Maker in Unity 5
Since there is no automated way to insert the required layer for the Sprite Sheet creator, it is needed to manually insert the “TEM_Sheet_Maker” layer and tag in the project for the system to function properly.
Also the platform must not be webplayer, in order to properly save the files on the HDD.
These requirements are also described in the manual in more detail.
Looks nice I take it that you could also simulate splashes by throwing out 2d particles that collided with the water line and then were destroyed when they landed back in the water ? I guess you could also use particle collision to make them effect the waves in the water too ? Can the water line be infinite for a surfing game. Can you move the start and end points of the water line so that as a surf board moved along in a scene the water followed it while still maintaining and waves that were in the line that was still on the screen ?
Hi Ian,
The particle system is already in place and was part of the tutorial i found that i based the system on, so you will see splashes and more in the next video after i extend it to reach full potential and optimization.
About affecting the waves, it will be possible, since the plan is to combine it with the 2D collisions system from Particle Dynamic Magic 2, which is also a WIP in the matter of using 2D colliders to emulate water properties.
The water can be infinite theoretically, so i will make sure to add such an option.
I am also looking at metaballs as image effect to render the splashes with a cooler effect, now that Unity 5 has image effects available to everyone.
I am considering buying this as it seems to be very good and well done, and I already have the awesome and amazing Particle Dynamic Magic, and I remember now what you have told me already in the Particle Dynamic Thread (as seen in the quotes links) but I have to see better the demos and see if I really will be able to use it and get benefit from this.
I agree that as you say below and from the demo, the name may be misleading and may let you think that this is only for 2D effects, when really it can be much more
Toon Effects Maker full functionality is not possible to showcase in demos, as its most important tools are editors for making sprite sheets from any item / animation and a system for copying effect elements from a big ready to use library. Say you need the motion of a twisted in a particle, but keep all other elements, it is possible to copy just the specific element from any library item to the edited effect for example.
Also it streamlines making projectiles, with light, sound etc
These are mostly aditor features and cant be shown in demos easilly, though i have a demo that shows the sprite sheet creation and how it may be used (the system is not meant for real time use, but i have included a sample of the system used in play time, in case it is required for a specific use)
A Unity 2018 version of Toon Effect Maker is now available in Google Drive download.
For Unity 5.6+, remember to define the layer named “TEM_Sheet_Maker”, which is used for the creation of sprite sheet procedure (if the sprite sheet maker is used).
